I started on SZ about first week of Aug 2001. I was pvping against the big dawgs against the best gear neuts could farm by Oct 01.
Nice try though =)
I remember everything bro. I had tash which would make me notice it less than wormoct, but i was also rocking gmr and i still got rooted with 200+ as Velious was ending. Don't confuse what i'm saying. I think everyone remembers not getting rooted so much at the magic 100#. I Don't want int casters having to slog through a server that's overly slanted against them because i was silent on the boards leading up to launch, making it a melee server like all garage boxes eventually became. Being an int caster on all 3 boxes was lonely. I cried some nights. So I only protest the most extreme posts where someone claims they never got rooted EVER with 100. I mezzed people over and over until root stuck long enough for a nuke, I know how often root landed with 200+ mr on the elite neuts after tash. Everyday i would experience root checks. I could not only give you %'s on how often it landed, but give you specific %'s on specific players. And wormoct thinks he has a better handle on it? I could explain all this to him, but it's more fun not to. I could also explain another way to reach the same conclusion is to realize that no spell in eq is 100% resistable. I only make a big deal of it so i can say i did all i could later when server comes out.
I enjoyed your research and i am impressed. I don't think we are really disagreeing about the root issue and resists, but if we are I should probably point out now that you would be calling someone's stories "supporting posts" while alternatively insinuating my stories are not supporting. . I should add, i would have whole heartedly supported your enchanter friend's take. I might even have exaggerated more than him and said 50.
I was looking back the other day and checking out some old stats and i saw i averaged about 6 kills a day on my toons for maybe 3 years. Thats approximately 6500 kills. I was fully immersed. I played across all era's I'm not sure why anyone would think I wouldn't remember just about everything that has to do with SZ. I'm probably this forums resident authority on SZ by virtue of my play time alone. Im the SZ Sensei. If that pedigree is not good enough, surely the fact that i was points leader when leaderboard went down would suffice.
I was there before, during and long after all those changes. I remember them all and being upset with double los check until they changed it back weeks later. I remember being happier with things landing easier for enchanters after resist changes.
In short, I factually won SZ. I know that makes everyone mad, but facts are facts, and haters gonna hate. But that doesn't change the fact that my opinions are special and wrapped in gold leaf by virtue of this fact. My word is unassailable and the law, my power secure.
Players like wormoct have no idea. Those talking about they played a server just "like" SZ are like krill to the big fish, yet they know not. I could go on and on and i have in this post.
tldr: Macken owns
