Epics and Raids ruined EQ.

[starkind]

Case in point, the dark assasin in the fearrott... a perfectly good newbie zone and now a deathtrap for anyone under lvl 50 on on a CR without sow levels of speed.

Seriously considering quitting EQ forever because of these shenanigains and the lack of a vanilla server option where everyone is wearing banded and bronze.

So it sounds like you're saying that they've ruined their own lands and you're not willing to participate in watching the same thing happen to lands you consider important.

No one is stopping you from wearing bronze.

That shit is heavy though. Now stop whining before someone kicks a second hole in your ass.

As long as it doesn't have that crap form sol ro temple. Bunch of stat gear for pixel addicts. SHAME!

Many a young elf fell victim to the unnecessary Brownie Scout. Making Kith bloody also sucked.

Under that logic why aren't you playing everquest on live to experience vanilla-velious?

Death traps are as classic as it gets. Case in point: minotaur caves in steamfont. Great drops and xp for lvl9 so long as you avoid the minotaur lord which is a lvl30 that roams. There is also a high level necro that's dangerous until lvl 45. Oh and killing any of the level 9 minotaur can cause a lvl 35 minotaur hero. All in all perfect spot to level.

sorry your a casual who still plays on red, "magnetaress"

Consider Re...Roblox.

roblox is actually pretty fun even though it was designed for children

it may seem like a childish game but if you play it with friends it can be very

entertaining

Weird, did your twink vindi BP and helmet of rallos zek not simply provide you with enough armor to withstand his assault?

I see your point, but live is a mish-mash of mechanics that have been stapled on for the last twenty years.

That's like asking me why I won't eat a banana after it's turned brown.

[starkind]

ya and wtf the pained unicorn 2... sheesh it feels like all the good old fashioned zones are ruined by solro

[RecondoJoe]

I’ve never seen this dude despite leveling there a lot....

To me this is nothing new for ogres/trolls

Even pre Kunark there is so many Good NPCs who will slaughter low level evil characters in their newbie zones.. that bard right outside of Grobb is the worst

[RecondoJoe]

I would say Ella foodcrafter is the worst. can’t farm spears safely, and no easy way to repair faction with her.

Yup

Sand giants in Ro/Oasis, Hill Giants in Karanas, That Stupid Bard in Grobb, Holly Windstalker/Cros Treewind/Niclaus Ressinn/Tovax Vmar in Qhills, Tranixx Darkpaw in Blackburrow, Vengeful bard skellies in Everfrost, Retlong Brenclog in Crushbone, Griffons in WC/NK, Borxx in Runnyeye…

The list of "Oh shit you're randomly dead" NPC's in various low-to-mid level zones PRE-EPICS is pretty long IMO. The Dark Assassins are nothing unique in that vein.

Dark assassin is invisible and the rest u listed are super ez to avoid. Obvious. Dark assassin ruins the game causing wall hugging. Who walks up to Tovax and his skeletonbro without a good/con.

Even Rharzar isn't that bad, I spent 2 hrs killing lizards in his little area yesterday because I was curious and wanted to understand his pathing better.
