Pre-kunark eq sucks

[Roth]

Am I wrong?

[magnetaress]

Not from your perspective.

I always wanted to lvl a rogue pre-kunark. I am insane. I like things that are crazy and unique.

[ldgo86]

Kunark is the best, but I’ve enjoyed exploring zones I never had before.

[Balimon]

Am I wrong?

Yep!

[Broor]

You may be a negative nancy. Classic is a blast, just go slow and check out places/quests you haven't seen before

[Jimjam]

If you play pre kunark from a post kunark perspective, maybe yes.

If enough people play it as open world virtual rpg, its pretty decent.

[Frug]

Am I wrong?

Yes.

[pizzasuit]

Am I wrong?

That’s just like your opinion, man.

[RipVanFish]

Am I wrong?

Yes. Kunark does rock though.

[Balimon]

Yes. Kunark does rock though.

Heck yeah it does, it's something to look forward too.

[Guesty07]

I'm still new, 2 characters at level 21, but I've been having so much fun with classic eq, visiting some zones I never adventured in back in the day.

[Kanuvan]

nope, you just hate the fact that eq classic is a solved math equation and endgame is you waiting in a never ending list for your favorite items to sell on the market, the players have ruined eq1 classic but it still remains a legend

[El-Hefe]

Kunark is the glory days for sure. But Green has given me a new appreciation for Vanilla. I don’t think it “sucks” by any stretch of the imagination.

[Videri]

One cool thing about pre-Kunark is that because of its incomplete itemization, lots of crappy items are actually relevant because there’s nothing better (or at least nothing easily available). I bet every priest you see is wearing Split Paw Hide Gloves. Every ranger is questing their Orc Impaler and Short Sword of Morin because in Kunark, those will suck and much better items will be available. Then, no one will be doing all these old zones and quests and items.

I so wish this didn't happen. Wish expansions did more horizontal progression that worked really, really hard to keep old content relevant.

[solleks]

I like kunark but classic is best. Should be one char per ssn though and rp mandatory. Some sort of pvp war system would be good geographically based

[Cen]

Im loving pre kunark. I like kunark too.

1-40 I think vanilla EQ is fine. 40-50 I think vanilla sucks. Too few options to find either a group or a good solo spot. I basically stopped leveling my level 40 druid and will likely stop my cleric at 40 too. Once Kunark gets released I can head to Dreadlands with the Druid and CoM with my cleric to continue their XP grinding.

this. Classic doesnt completely "suck", but its vastly inferior to Kunark and onwards.

[Visual]

the fact that eq classic is a solved math equation

Knowledge and analytics have ruined nearly every game. From Sit & Go games like poker to big spectator sports like basketball. Ignorance really was bliss.

[GnomeCaptain]

Yes, you are wrong.

Vanilla EQ is far and away the best.

Kunark is sort of gross and ugly.

SoV is ok, but also largely unpleasant and the gear gets too strong.

[gnomishfirework]

Classic eq is just fine, but Kunark is so much better.

The anticipation of all thats to come just changes your perspetive.

Kunark is great except how most of the zones are just big rectangles with a bajillion mobs pathing randomly in them.

Not that classic doesn't have its share of those too.

The Bajillion mob zones are a big part of what makes Kunark so great. Room and mobs enough for everyone. If you’re struggling to XP post Kunark you’re doing it wrong, where as the number one complaint I see from people on Green right now is the difficulty in carving out a chunk of content for themselves if they have limited playtime.

[Swish]

Velious is the shittest of the 3 imo

[Bardp1999]

Kunark is where my classic heart yearns to be.

Classic has shit zones to level in 40-50

GoD was the end. OoW was the descent into WoW, the tragedy of the commons, and mediocrity.

I played a Rogue on one of the EQTLP Servers and got sssoooo much (mostly undeserved) hate! Once you hit the low-to-mid 30s Rogue DPS really starts to climb as long as you have something decent like an SBD!

Sadly this situation is also true of 55-60 in Kunark. Google "The Kunark Problem." An in-era "essay" from a member of the Afterlife Guild that talks all about it.

I feel like I'll PROBABLY reroll on Kunark launch after spending the final 4-5 months of Classic farming gear on my Shaman

This is absolutely the right way to approach Kunark. Avoid the 50 - 60 madhouse, enjoy the awesomeness that is leveling from 1 - 50 with Kunark zones.

[boukk]

I admit that past 40s, kunark is really missed.

[Gustoo]

1-50 in vanilla is the best. I wish that expansions filled in the vanilla world rather than leave them somewhat empty. I like when the PGT is a decent weapon, rather than vendor garbo.

I like all versions of EQ but after being in vanilla too long, Kunark for sure is a breathe of fresh jungle air.

[NPC]

That’s just like your opinion, man.
Wrong,

"That's just like, your opinion, or something". I wouldn't have bothered, but that rug really does tie those rooms together.

Lets elaborate, pre-kunark sucks for most classes, except, chanter, shaman, mage, cleric, bard, necro.
Every other class sucks pretty hard. Never play melee pre-kunark, if dont know that, it's gonna be a very hard lesson to learn.
