No, Some people are here to prove in any way possible that they are good at classic EverQuest.

Others will nutswing and join their ranks, however, I know how much loot has flooded the banks and I can assure you... there is no skill and progression about raid forces in full PD loot.

That said?

Even with all that, many have failed and will fail lol.

Think that over and the next time you are about to say "EQ isn't a game about skill", maybe you'll realize that it is.

It takes quite a bit of organizational and in game social skill (despite how seeming anti-social the activity of playing EverQuest is, well, it is anti-social). It takes rule lawyering, quick thinking, preparation and execution.

Hopefully when Velious has finished its cycle however long from now, the reroll (or new time line) and "true" classic timeline server will produce some real champions. I will be smiling hard as hell on that day if it comes.

And @ the guy who listed a few corrupt staff with a few good ones, realize this is just the "beta" (and a very long one) of this project, or at least so I've been made to believe by its mission statement.
