yeha cleric is lvl 40+ cleric healing a lvl 14 in oasis! wow! I SHOULD HAVE ROLLED ONE! that's boxing, folks. tell me it's not and ill call you a retard. i wasnt saying the lvl 13 cleric healing lvl 11-13s, but it just becomes unfair when the "room mate" is 40+ healing a teen..
that's why we don't have boxing, yet ppl are still doing just that

Dude... seriously... We're at the point of the server now where I'm handed Enamlled Black Maces to low level monks, buffing anyone I see in a newbie zone with lvl 50 cleric buffs, ppl are saving their corpses in stupidly out of whacked ZEM zones because they know one of the 5 49+ clerics will be by eventually..
Classic Launch is officially over. There's a zillion people artificially 45+, and it's far too late to go back now. It's not so much that boxing and twinking isn't (or won't be) an issue, it's just that it's not nearly the biggest elephant in the room when it comes to why this server is suddenly so out of whack.
If there is some level 50 cleric or druid twinking out some melees in oasis, he's only trying to get the toon to level 20, where he's no longer going to be needed outside of a quick group port to lavastorm. Every person I've told about this server in the last few weeks that has showed up and hit 20+ is just dumbfounded at SolA and how "people who played in 99 would think this is even remotely normal". And I shrug my shoulders and say "too late, dmg done". It's like watching Gordon Ramsey on TV with the girlfriend and not being able to convince her that he's Scottish/British. It's frustrating, but eventually you just basically give up and plan for the next big thing, cuz this is just going in a bad direction.
I'm sitting there during 200+ population peak as the only person in Lower Guk (maybe one other guy camping Evil Eye), and I'm running around picking off 6-7 nameds with enough time for a smoke break before repops.. Simultaneously /w all Soldungb comes back empty, there's 2-3 people camping spectres... There's a group of 6 level 20s killing zone in in mistmoore, there's one necro in unrest, and a pair of 50 shaman in Cazic Thule. Gee... I wonder where everyone could be?
Let's put all the cards on the table. The vision is dead, YOU ALL let it effing happen and stood by idly claiming that it sure "felt" classic.
Well it doesn't. It isn't. And now we got a zillion artificial 50s who are gonna get to log in one or two times a week to race to two dragons. Which was everyones favorite... err least favorite part of the classic experience.
We've seen a Plane of Sky / Hate / Nagafen progression. It's not jealousy, it's me banging my head against my computer desk wondering how people could spend this much time/effort on recreating EQC and being PRESENT for obvious holes in time line. I could care less if a GM was there or not, there's a dozen other people present who actually thought that was a natural flow of things. That's..... EMBARRASSING.... And puts a huge black eye on the server as a whole.
So yeah, you're gonna see *plenty* more level 50s healing people in Oasis. Cuz there isn't much more left to do till 51-60 in Kunark when people might be forced to actually grind legit for the first time. Woo hoo. At least Oasis is now more beneficial for the 50s than South Ro.
Yes we all love this server and are having the times of our lives recreating the experience we had 10 years ago. But once a week I'm good for a painfully long rant on the basics that continue to be mysteriously erroneous and unchanged. Cest La Vie.
