That being said, EverQuest PVP actually has a lot going for it, and when it is truly fun, can be lot more enjoyable and immersive than most of the modern PVP MMO renditions we've been getting in the last 10ish years.
So true. The difficulty and clunkiness do somehow make it more immersive. Maybe because it reminds us more of RL. PvP games are way too simplified. Life is full of difficulty and error.
Also when you pull of something smooth in EQ it actually means something because shit is so difficult and clunky.
Kinda reminds me of how EQ graphics achieve such a better sense of scale (bridge in GD, Overthere chasm, Gorge of King Xorb) than modern games, despite having like 20 polygons and 10 textures to work with.
