EQ retail vs P99
EQ retail
- Highly commercialized product.
- One expansion after another resulting in bloatware and the destruction of previous expansion(s).
- Pay to play
- Pay to 'win'
- Time sink
- Solo/group/raid class system...no friends? Don't want to play with strangers? Don't want to play with show-offs? Introvert? Don't want to spend your evenings raiding for crappy cookie cutter loot? The devs say you're low class and don't deserve much in life.
- Alternative Advancement system
- EULA
- Repetitive gameplay - kill, loot, kill, loot, kill, loot
- First comers have permanent advantage over new players
- Promotes begging
- Promotes rat race mentality
- Ongoing class and race tweaking
- Pointless treadmill
- Popular due to real life restrictions (health and money limitations)
P99
- Emulated version of 'classic' EQ
- Intellectual property theft
- Free to play (requires internet connection ($))
- 2 expansions
- Archaic UI
- Login issues
- Crashing issues
- Unbalanced races and classes
- Pre-nerf items
- No progress at 60
- Limited number of hunting grounds
- No sci-fi expansion
- No Beast Lords
- EC tunnel is more like the Bazaar than classic EC tunnel
- Time sink
- Min/max heaven
- Evil bias
- Anti-human bias
- Solo/group/raid class system...no friends? Don't want to play with strangers? Don't want to play with show-offs? Introvert? Don't want to spend your evenings raiding for crappy cookie cutter loot? The devs say you're low class and don't deserve much in life.
- Play 'fair' policy
- Repetitive gameplay - kill, loot, kill, loot, kill, loot
- First comers have permanent advantage over new players
