Classic eq..... Not

[Optti]

I have been very disappointed lately with interactions with players on a large scale it's like world of Warcraft all over again. It makes me so sad. Classic eq isn't just about writing the correct code to create the game it's an attitude it's a playstyle and to some a way of life. Lately grouping in Karnors has been like playing golf with 3 people who have never been out on a course before and don't care to learn the etiquette... Very disappointing, not to mention ninja loggers, the general attitude is a real turn off. Sweettits or whatever being the latest example. You scared my friend away from starting here which really bummed me out. Thanks for that. If people don't want to play classic eq in every sense of the idea why are they even here. It's a game and to ruin others experience playing it just plain sucks. Get an Xbox or something and leave people alone.

So many people have worked so hard to make this happen and this bs attitude that's growing like a plague is an insult to them as well. Chill out and enjoy the game however you wish, that's the beauty of it but ruining others time isn't so please stop it and you know who you are.

[indiscriminate_hater]

enjoy the game however you wish

please stop it

wat do

[dafier]

Blah....don't give up. I currently have 3....maybe 4 people on my /ignore. And yes, you are always going to have a 40 year old child playing a game who acts really dumb if not a selected few.

10 people who act like idiots compared to 1000 people who are really nice play with never equals out. It's normal to focus on the negative in life, it's exceptional to do the opposite.

I agree with OP, blue server more poisonous every week.

Thankfully there's a warmer, more welcoming community waiting to help you get started over on red. Call now!

[Swish]

...and I don't blame the blue population. Individually most people are nice, but steal someone's camp or try to lawyer your way into something by threatening to petition and it turns the nicest person into a defensive minded, "me first" kind of player.

Some guy in Oasis on Sunday night during the final throes of double XP decided that rather than take a couple of mobs, he'd round up 30-40...despite there being just under 50 people in the zone trying to get a level.

Well my bard got on board that mob train and turned it away from him. Not 2 seconds later I get told I'm being petitioned for KS'ing.

Who's the villain? Me of course, I broke a rule... being a douchebag isn't a rule and therefore it's like a disease that spreads, choking the niceness out of players.

[FatMice]

Swish you might as well play on blue. You already interact with blue players almost exclusively since you comment on almost every juicy blue post on this forum...

ps. I like you gifs.

[Swish]

I play both servers, just like old pal Tiggles.

...and thanks, #10 inc tonight ;)

[FatMice]

You prefer blue yet ad for red.

Who is Tiggles? Why do I care?

[DetroitVelvetSmooth]

Who is Tiggles? Why do I care?

Well said.

[Swish]

You prefer blue yet ad for red.

I don't prefer blue - horrible raid scene, fungi soloists holding down camps while people sit lfg, camp lawyers, FTE lawyers, raid lawyers, tunnel fat cats, crowded top end zones, the list goes on.

Amid that, somehow... I'm still trying to level a SK to 60 before velious hits the ground.

Who is Tiggles? Why do I care?

Just some guy, and you shouldn't.

[FatMice]

(Lets play choose your own story line)

I don't prefer blue - horrible raid scene, fungi soloists holding down camps while people sit lfg, camp lawyers, FTE lawyers, raid lawyers, tunnel fat cats, crowded top end zones, the list goes on.

The following options to continue the forum are as follows:

A. I say something along the lines of what Tiggles would say and your mind is blown. "You're just casual scum." Then we begin the most epic derailment to a shitty RnF post.

B. I say your complaint is "Classic" so you came to the right place. Conversation becomes mute and dull.

C. I tell you let's group up this weekend since I am trying to get level 59 on my monk. We coordinate a static group.

[Paleman]

sounds pretty classic to me

[Samoht]

Let's compare that to red: empty zones, delevelled characters with epics marauding the zones that aren't empty, OOR healers, non-classic OOC, vitriol in OOC, non-classic yellow text, no variance that puts all raid mobs spawning in the middle of the night.

I could probably go on.

Raid Mobs Spawning in the middle of the night seems alot better than you being 5th in line for a raid mob.

Can we all agree that Double Stuffed Oreos are better?

Are you so spoiled by instant gratification in your Internet-porn enabled life that you constantly have to try to degrade the experience of the people who still have patience and take the time to enjoy the game? Hint: it's not about pixels.

Yes you fucking tard.

I guess I just don't need a game to fulfill an existential crisis. I don't think everyone plays it to only aimlessly chat about things and do the same things over and over again until my time in line finally comes up. Its a 15 year old game dude. I was in Jr. High when I started playing this game, during that time my responsibilities were school and hobbies. Everyone interested in this now either has shit to do(casual), or works from home while they play this ( neck beard )

I dont see how being able to attain something quicker degrades the experiences of this game in the slightest. I am not a defective human being incapable of enjoying the social aspects as well as the competitive aspects of a game with a social element.

Hint: its about whatever its about to whoever its about. Not just what its about to you.

Animosity between strangers who happen to enjoy the same thing in different manners but flex nuts about it because its on the Internet.

Empty zones: Sure, start in Qeynos or Halas and expect to not find many pals. Is that any different on blue?

Deleveled characters: Max's warrior was the last one I saw, that was about 6 months ago...Max needs his head examined anyway after breaking up <Fresh>

OOR healers: Not often, and sometimes you'll find that XP'ing you've got a span of 10 levels between highest lowest (CoM a good example). 4 level range is (arguably) there to protect newer players. Sorry that makes you mad.

Non-classic OOC: See blue server duck/cancel, variance, extensive mob socking because of variance, 4 years of Kunark showing 100s of fungi twinks, people soloing 6 man camps, camp lawyers, etc etc.

Vitriol in OOC: Eunomia often there keeping it toned down.

Non-classic yellow text: Yeah, its more of a brown color :(

No variance: http://i.imgur.com/GyaUGaT.gif

Swish, do you even have a high enough character on red to compete in the raid scene? I know that you don't on blue despite your obsession with it.

you sound rustled there friend... I've got 4 blue characters that I could take to a raid, how many have you got? Is my neckbeard longer than yours?

Last raiding guild on red I was properly in was Red Dawn and I had me some good monk loot from fear. Not done dragons yet but there's no Euro guild on red and I'm not the "stay up til 4am to raid dragons on elf sim" type of guy I'm afraid.

Tell me more about lockouts on Class R dragons after a successful kill.

sam you would fit in on red.

[Swish]

He too easily rustled, he would either get over immersed and have a coronary or would sulk after his first pvp death and quit.

[Champion_Standing]

Not much difference between the average group on blue and the average group on every other mmo. For every person I see raving about how important community is in EQ I see a hundred dead eyed silent grinders watching Netflix while they play instead of socializing with each other. Douchebaggery is all but encouraged on both servers really.

Red is a more fun playing experience right now imo but the players are pretty toxic, some of the shit that goes on in ooc is pretty pathetic. But at least red players are a little more engaged for the most part, barely aware that I'm playing with humans on blue half the time.

Different people had different classic experiences. Some servers had server created rotations. Some were FFA. The blue server has a compromise set up to try to recreate both systems. But lockouts account for less than a third of the mobs. I'm glad such a narrow focus can define the entire server for you.

More on the blue raid scene then. If you're in a guild with 50-60+ VP keys, why not move up to Class C and contest?

Any guild who sets up a socking session with 20-25 people in the "casual" tier isn't very casual about their raiding.

[Samoht]

All gifs were related. Variance is classic

Related, huh? How many classic PVP servers had one PVE guild push all spawns into the middle of the night so that they could monopolize them with even less resistance than before?

You still have 2/3s of the raid mobs to account for your hardcore raiding. I don't really understand the point you're trying to make (assuming you even have one to begin with).

Also I've seen de leveled twinks in MM and my group chases them out we lul then xp. It's the point of red, to break up the gameplay with PvP!
