The internet of today is not the internet of yesterdecade.
Easier to access, more scum, more problems
The best point made is Nilbog citing that each server on live had its, say, hundred or so truly competent (I didn't say good) EQ players
Almost the entire population here has a pretty good handle on things and isn't starry eyed and lost in the world
So you have more people in contested areas. I can't even tell you how rarely we could find a group outsie the guild/raid sect, if ever, that could do SolB efreeti. Most players here are familiar with lulling, debuffing and splitting the mobs leading up that way and you can do it.
Now, put all these people together (along with their feelings of entitlement) in non-instanced areas. Surprise! There's bullshit!
Again, don't forget. And please correct me if I'm wrong.
None of what happened matters in the true grand scheme of things unless you want to brag about being some kind of EQ legend on a server that was heavily undeveloped and for a while did not represent classic EQ very much.
It's getting pretty close. Bring your bragging rights to the big show on the finished project server.
