I was a Troll SK and well...... the path to 50 was very long and very brutal.

MnM, if you can't deliver a similar experience to a Troll SK in 1999 ON A PVP SERVER WITH ITEM LOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then I can't support.

I remember dodging mobs and people , trying to make my way to Neriak from Grobb, dying and having to start over multiple times..... FINALLY getting to Neriak and looking around the city to explore and find a bind , TO ONLY BE KILLED BY NPCs IN NERIAK ITSELF, who were KoS to Troll SKs...

Sent back to Grobb, naked, alone and afraid, and out another huge chunk of XP. It builds character..

MnM, if you are reading this: people who love that kinda stuff are your target audience. Trust the Vision.

You're just garbage at remembering and think that your time on TLP's and emulators is indicative of the EQ experience from 26 years ago.

I was likely killing AoW while you were still doing your first Nagafen raid.

If low 40s took you 8 hours of pure grinding per level in Guk, again, you were garbage at EQ. There were single play sessions where I’d grind out an entire level at Frenzy, and i wasn’t playing anywhere near 8h in a row. Maybe you were alt-tabbed playing Commander Keen as well? The only way i could see this is if you were on a very high pop server and Guk was so packed there was significant spawn competition… which did happen.
In my time playing EQ. Sol b was always full and you had wait lists for each camp. People would spend all day in there grinding, 10+ hours, then camp out at the zone to do it all over again for weeks or more. I can't remember the exact time per level, since it was 25 years ago. But it was painful and the zone was almost always full.

I doubt anything like that would be possible today or that people would want something like that, but its what we had so we made the best of it.
