Wtf are you talking about.
If you want 1999 eq then play p99 that is the point of that emu.
This was a solo eq server and amazing at it, that was the point. Why the fuck are you even arguing this dumb shit?

Yes, but as they level they get the increased HT AA ranks for free too. (With exception of the last one, which you need to buy with AA).

It was a fun server for a while. But the grind at the end was annoying. It had its share of flaws. The gear grind to get everything up to legendary was fucking brutal. Something like 0.14% per mob, one item at a time from memory, in POF at the end when I quit in PoP. The end game consisted of doing the same in era raid over and over for loot and some side shit they added, like sleeper, for augs. Once every 13 hours if memory serves. The rest of the content might as well not even existed. There wee only a few items of any worth out of any expansion, usually some rare ass raid loot and some of the augs that were OP. Other than that items for the most part were worthless.
AA grind was all done in dragon necropolis which had the best exp rate. So you basically hung out there from lv55 or whatever until your eyes bleed or you got like 1500-2000AA or which ever came first. Then the next expansion came out, you did all the flags, whatever, and you were right back where you were at the end of the last one, grinding the same raid over and over and grinding legendary gear and augs. Unless you got supper luky and a legendary piece dropped which was rare as hell which you didnt have to level.
They were supposedly adding HCSSF and SSF modes which I was kinda looking forward to. Going through all of the progression again SSF style would have been cool. Since most people just twinked out their shit with raid gear since it was so cheap on the market.
Like I said fun for a while but like everything it got old near the end. To tell you the truth the most fun I had was doing all the epic quests on several of my characters during Velious (when I started) when they were still useful.

Bro you realize you’re on an MMORPG forum right? You just basically described the genre.

Yeah, it does get a little repetitive. I have a gripe with the level rate of items as well, but if you group in like plane of fire it can go pretty quick.
The way I see it the end game progression currently is: Kill sleeper, clear time, Seru 4/4, Zeb(lite), Sword of Truth(changeable epic wep), Zeb(hard). Basically after seru requires a metric fuckload of either farming for augs or farming for plat to buy the augs. The bottlenecks are shielding augs for melee, where the legendary ones have 5 shielding. I've been killing sleeper daily for months on 3 toons and I've never seen one drop. They sell for 300k+ plat, it's rediculous.
I've killed zeb(lite) on one character, not sure I have it in me to gear out the other 2. I'd like to get a hard mode kill on my main (pld,mnk,ber) but with the server in jeopardy it kind of negates my desire to get there. I was really looking forward to SSF / HC , and then seeing GoD because I quit EQ during PoP.
I'm doing one last character with no intent to make it to end game, Sk/druid/nec SSF. Just going to do all the random obscure dungeons that no one does like befallen, cazic thule, sola, etc just to see em one last time because once this server is gone. Unless someone else makes a copy of THJ, I won't be playing EQ again. No way I could go back to classic on an emulator and definitely fuck DBG so live is out.
This game was an amazing few months of playing more time than I have since probably my early 20's. My wife is sick of it so it might not be the worst thing when they lose the lawsuit.

Yeah it’s hilarious she hates when I’m up in the man cave on the PC but 100% doesn’t mind I play downstairs on the console next to her for fucking HOURS. I should just sit next to her on the laptop.

It all depends on frequency and length, but I get it. The best I can relate is if my girl sat in front of the TV for like 6 hours every night and we never did shit together….unhealthy and not a positive relationship. If she does it while I go do X activity(gaming or volleyball with friends) for 3 hours every Tuesday.…not even remotely a problem.
there is also something about being physically present. For example I would rock out to Music or some background show while I cooked, but I was there, or I’d be playing some game for fun that I could pause at any moment and join the life I live. Different than the mmo of “can’t leave mid group!” Shit of my youth. Every person needs space but if you hide away in a separate room to do it, it can start to feel weird.
