EQ's sandbox style. Being thrown into a new world and having to figure it all out.
Exploration, discovery, risk vs. reward...everything that made an MMORPG really worth playing. EQ was, and is, the only game I have ever had real feelings of satisfaction in playing.
Teamwork, co-operation, helpfulness...networking, making real friends. I STILL have friends from the original EQ...and you can bet I've told them about this server. Hopefully we'll get to recapture some of the magic that today's games cannot duplicate.
Remembering things like "Who is Corflunk and why did he kill me?"
Running a level 1 from Freeport to Queynos.
Getting trained in Unrest for the first time.
The list could go on forever.
Bravo for bringing it back! I look forward to doing it all again!
