found this while trying to find details on testament of veneer quest that doesn't trigger my school's firewall


yeah, its really long. and hardly relevant, seeing as how back then people payed to play. but still, someone took the time to type it out, figured id take the 2 seconds to link it up

I wonder if this person was at all aware that there was a Presidential election dispute going on while they researched and constructed this document.

Thanks for the heads up.

First off Aexdestroy that avatar is hilarious. Second off this paper is a waste of time. I played on Rodcet on live from launch until luclin and this kid is just butt hurt. I was in shite guilds for most of it and we were getting boss kills sometimes when it should have probably been never.

haha yeah I thought so too, thanks.

I think he's right about why EQ eventually failed. Staring at spawn points isn't fun. Making enemies online isn't all that fun unless you are a high functioning sociopath. It was an interesting analysis.

The guy brought up some valid points. I don't 100% agree with him. But it basically sums up any MMO where there is a way for groups of people to compete against each other.

Most of his points are valid, but he also clearly wasn't in the "I Can" part of EQ.
