But you do have to ask, is this good gaming? because what you are saying is, the end game content is dominated by zerg guilds who spam keys for hours to get FTE, which then leaves vast expanses of the game open for you to explore with a friend, in this case your wife.

That sounds like a heat death of the gameworld: the end game, the allegedly "for serious gamers only" game, is really just getting in a loot line in a zerg key spamming loot council guild, and then, those who are just putzing around for old times sake on lesser stuff.

If someone presented that as *an actual design for a game* they would be drummed out of the business.

Granted, it may work for you and your wife, but it is still not healthy. It is the least imaginative solution to what to do with the high end eq sandbox, which gives you a server to get nostalgic on once or twice a week.

So it has settled: those who get into the ZKPLC guild, and the ultra casual.

Without a solid mid-game that can potentially cause havoc with the high end, all you got is an autopilot server. Weird OCD types running guilds that just endlessly farm all spawns, and give out the candy by officer vote fiat. Weird trip, man, weird trip.

Reminds me of Darkoor and Vis Maior on quellious. And we all know what happened to him

edit: google darkoor mistell
