The original game was set up for the hardcore gamer. The casual could not compete.
Time sinks ruled.
Those with literally no life or those that had jobs allowing concurrent timewasting, oops gaming owned the pixels.
Like now, only its free to play here and those that can be available (whatever the reason) at any time own the pixels.
I will never have an epic or a chalice or BIS anything requiring massive dkp.
That is as it should be.
Im not sorry I don't got, its just sad some of you feel the need to say it.

I actually agree with this aside from the fact that in order for this sentiment to be accurate they need to also get rid of PNP.
My memories of EverQuest back in the 90s and early 2000s was not a bunch of care bears who were worried about offending someone, and who would respect people's camps and wishes. My experience was a ton of cutthroat hormonal teenage psychopaths intentionally training, regularly KS'ing, sniping raid mobs, ninja looting, griefing etc.
Because of the PNP none of that exists. Is that a bad thing? Sometimes, yes. Overall? I don't know, I wasn't around during the early days of P99. But it kind of irks me when people are like such and such is so hardcore and then comparing to the olden days.
In the olden days I don't care that your guild mate told your other other guild mate who told you that you guys could indefinitely hold a camp around the clock by passing it off to each other every few hours. My group is coming in and taking this camp that y'all have been AFK farming for days now.
If you have a problem with it then bring more players and we'll DPS race. Sike, I'll actually just FD pull the entire zone on you and then do it again when you try to drag your corpse.
To me that was hardcore EverQuest. This ain't it. Even on TLPs I've seen the best guilds on the entire server who are way more coordinated than any thing I've witnessed on P99 get sniped by third rate guilds who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Doing something like that on P99 would get that guild banned.
This is not hardcore. This is carebear shit.
