some serious dickriders in here.
here's my 2 cents, even though nobody asked for it.
i've played for a month. pretty dedicated to lvl 48 cleric.
forced beta happens. fine. i could care less about velious but i understand the need to move to that era.
camp the forums mon-tue, nothing.
log in today, can't see anything. stand to cast. backwards ass changes after 4 days.
well, i understand that it's a free game, but before this weekend the illusion of EQ was real. it felt like i went in the wayback machine and was playing EQ for the first time again. now though, i feel disenchanted and the curtains have been lifted to the fact that this is an amateur team running an amateur server.
gm handholding on raids is not classic. i have nothing to look forward to end game with the nannyquesting that i hear about. i don't think i'll keep playing, sadly.

I think the gamma change has been beaten to death, and even the devs have admitted in some fashion or another that it didn't get implemented quite optimally (asserted from the fact that a subsequent patch was already released to address some issues related to it). Give them a chance to make some further adjustments, I'm sure they did not intend to have the game be unplayable for anyone, assuming that is even the case as I haven't really confirmed it for myself yet.
And if the stand/cast is classic, nobody should really have any issues with it. Surely it won't take but a few minutes to adjust, even as a spell bar clicker I managed to get the feel for using a key bind to the sit/stand button in just a few minutes.
As for the raid rules and such, those are all valid points of contention and are still being debated by many. Even if you disagree with some of them as I do, it's somewhat understandable why the rules were put into place, the reasons being nobody's fault in particular. It's just the circumstances of having limited development and GM resources. As far as I know nobody on the staff is drawing a salary to sit and work on content releases or do support work 12 hours a day.
