Well I guess if you had read my posts entirely you'd have known exactly what I meant when I said "everyone has their own thoughts on what is classic". Meaning some think its orig eq only. Some orig-kunark or orig-kunark-velious. And myself its orig through Luclin.
So what I was saying is each persons "perspective" is different and relevant to them. And you seamed to be objecting to that and it had to be just your way.
If my response to your response is unfounded then I apologize. But anyone has the right to express their opinions on here. And I'll stand by that for anyone weather I agree with them or not.

No need to apologize Shadey, but when a topic becomes "hot" (and this one looks to me as it is) one's got to pay double attention as people switch to defensive mode, and I'm no different to anyone else

I 99.99% agree with you about the perspective although I'd tweak that a little bit (hence the 0.01% missing due to semantic): I think Classic is Classic, 'nuff said, no Kunark, Velious or anything. However, and this is the essence of what you say which I agree with, EQ started to go haywire at some point and started to loose its feel. Somewhere along the line it lost its fun and became more of a chore. This point will vary from people to people, for me it came in 4 phases:
- Luclin started it (beastlords, walking on the moon, endless hours of farming to have access to some place (VT key anyone?)),
- PoP trivialised travels and the gods suddenly opened the dour of their home to anyone and their mother (WTF?),
- LDoN brought us instances (bye bye meeting people in a dunjeon),
- OoW made soloing impossible for anyone who wasn't super uber and made my class obsolete (I was playing a shaman, by then almost everyone had max stats "naturally" (no buff needed), every mobs mitigated slow like mad (slow almost useless) and the mobs didn't have that much HP (making DoTs completely useless) but where hitting like trucks (increasing the requirement for healing therefore cleric or no life druid/shaman with a shitload of AA... which wasn't me).
For the second part of your post, I do agree, anyone is entitled to say whatever they want. But if one starts to express something which goes against what most people in the surrounding think (people of this forum in this case), they have to be ready to go down in flame. This is exactly what is happening to Zuranthium.
