I just reread this thread, and I remembered why I quit original EQ.
Item bloat. Pure and simple. A 50,000+ post signed petition over several different threads that had postcapped on the EQ official forums for a game squish. And it got denied and deleted repeatedly by moderators.
A game squish is where they take everything and cut it to 1/10th. Or whatever. If you hit for 100? You now hit for 10. If the mob hits for 1000? It now hits for 100. For everything.
I remember looking at items with 300 and 400 hp and just being disgusted.
And now I look at items on Allakhazam with over 1000hp and I realize I will never ever go back to that game because that's just unfathomably ridiculous.
A small reason, now that I look back onto the game, but yeah. That's what I do NOT miss about EQ. I remember thinking Nillipuss' SV Earrings were kickass when I first started playing.
