The thing I missed the most with PoP was chilling in cities and seeing people. Everyone just hung out in PoK and the fantasy rpg feel was gone. Factions became meaningless etc.
The 2 things that got me hooked on p1999 was people in the cities again like the old days and no boxing. Boxing is what ruined MMOs.
I believe pok books were added in response to the community wanting something like this? Or maybe it was the min maxers, or the hardcore who were on the forums all the time making the most noise? Either way, I am pretty sure this is why it happened. I started in LoY and I LOVED EQ. I didn't have experience without PoK books and coming here was my first time in classic. Nevertheless I love it here and I see where people are coming from first hand. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, PoK is a very nostalgic place for me and the music hits me evertime. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I would definitely be down on a server that stops at PoP, but not this one. It would be cool to find one with the same quality and attention to detail as this one, but even without one I am perfectly content in experiencing classic for myself after only hearing epic stories and legends. It's very amazing to be able to experience classic for the first time.
