No, they're just not going to play. I had a friend who started MMO's with WoW try P99. He couldn't get past the graphics, so he wiped the sony folder from his HD. There aren't many people who's first EQ experience is P99 that stick with it. There are some that I see on the forums, but not many. And no, SoL Models will not fix that ;)

They revamped Freeport with better graphics. Everyone hated it. They revamped Nektulos and Lavastorm. Everyone hated it. They even combined the commonlands and desert of ro and everyone hated that too. They updated the models and everyone hated it.

Let's be real. People don't really want EQ with newer graphics.

They want a new game that plays like old school EQ.

honestly...the problem with EQ isn't the graphics. even in era, EQ graphics were pretty bad compared to offline games.

the game works. it is immersive enough that once you get into it the graphics really aren't all the important.

Their loss.

I imagine these kinds of people also miss out on Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII, etc.

Thats the issue...it isn't just their loss. we all lose because gaming companies devote their best resources to catering to the masses. when the masses taste stinks it mean...well, it means we end up rather playing a 15 year old game than a new one.

if you have kids you had better make it your mission to teach them about good games. i'm frigging counting on you breeders to make the next twenty years of my gaming life better.

Such a miserable life it must be, to be so concerned with the latest graphics. The imagination is far more effective, and simpler graphics allow for your imagination to play a greater role.

Which one do you mean? Can't say much about Online Adventures, but "Champions of Norrath" was awesome.....although it was a clone of that Baldurs Gate game, I really enjoyed playing it (quit EQ some years before).

We need another MMO where you fight dragons in corners and stare at walls for hours on end while you LFG. The challenge is immense.

Fight a fire beetle. Save a dragon.
