Wrong. Luclin and especially Planes were irredeemable trash that destroyed the game, WoW or no WoW. I had already given up and quit EQ well before WoW launched.
As for P99, you don't preserve...

EQ is case-in-point here because it trusts the client with *way* too much and has always been hugely vulnerable to various exploits and cheats. As you said, EQ had the financial backing behind it to...

Shamans were solo'ing stuff like west wastes dragons in-era for just that reason. They're single pulls that could be preslowed before entering melee, but those are also a somewhat unique case. This...

Someone getting hit a dozen times during a cast *shouldn't* be landing spells through it more than once in a blue moon. That's what EQ was, glossed over by 16 years of P99 players who either never...

Shamans were doing West Wastes dragons in-era, but those are mostly solo pulls and can often be pre-slowed before going into melee. What really hurts is brute force type pulls where you need to...
