@Daywolf:
I wouldn't just want to play for nostalgia.
Well yeah, rangers became cool with the AA era, but I didn't want to divide up my time to play two characters.
I WILL get a job. I'm studying medicine and Germany is in dear need of doctors and will be in the future.
I do have other hobbies, but have enough time to squeeze in something else.. the question is: will this be EQClassic? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Good advice regarding the whole monk dilemma.
True @ fees.
It's not about the difficulty of leveling, but the time consuming manner. I do enjoy challenging games, don't get me wrong, but time is of the essence. I'm not sure if I should spend it here or somewhere else, but I realize now that noone can actually answer this, but me. edit: I do not want to play another MMORPG.
Nevertheless, I got some good feedback for now. Thanks! |
Yeah, that can eat up a lot of your time. We started a guild in UO some years ago, and after a year the leader decided to step down. So we elected this guy that was a medical doctor hah, and a co-leader (two in charge). I guess he was not into golf lol So spent his free time playing mmo's instead.
I never really gave any attention to time consumption, I mean other than raids that can be time consuming. Be it a game like this or another that is "casual", people still spend as much time playing for the most part.
It's just the lure of faster rewards and quicker progression for casual games, where as something like classic EQ that comes much slower which is irritating for some people. But this is a long-term game, not something to put away in a few months. A lot of the casual mmo's suffer, because after a few months there is nothing left to do but maybe wait for the next expansion, so they look for other games to fill their time.
So as far as for finding people that play casual or less time dedicated, that is pretty normal I think. I mean just like in casual games, the power-gamers (as the game makes them all to be) hit the cap and fade away, while the long-term players keep going along for years, week after week. But here you have mostly people that played EQ on live for years, not really hopping from one game to the next, and specifically here in the emu's for a play-style that can't be found anyplace else any longer. So yeah, plenty of people here that are not power-gamers.
