Classic EQ or Something Else?
So I've been told P99 Blue and Green were the original "Classic" experience of the game we all love, Everquest.
Is this true? Lately a group of us came back to P99 Blue and realized a few things have changed... Chardok revamp is out, okay...but a few things have changed that just don't make sense. Many of the NPCS are now uncharmable for example, is this Classic? 25 mob limit on AE's? okay less of a headache for zone disruption.. Understandable... no more Chardok AE groups which include the exploitation of RMT and the such. Changes have happened and I'd like to hear from YOU what made classic, classic and is no longer "Classic" on P99. Please Tell me YOUR opinion and anything else that isn't "Classic". Thank you! | ||

Classic to me:
Concentrations of players in newbie and mid-level zones High level players rare Magic and high quality weapons rare Relying heavily on town vendors for equipment Using the ships, not much porting Low availability of maps Lots of rumors about what various stats did, mostly guesses Seeing an ogre or troll around a good city would really surprise people Leveling was slower, experience penalties higher People weren't wearing a bunch of wildly tinted stuff (you saw the odd rubicite rarely) Trade skills were pretty mysterious Less people relying on SoW and Clarity Greater focus on exploring zones because there were few guides as to what was there More people enjoying the experience vs. making it all about leveling, e.g. fishing for relaxation | ||

The begging from noobs was rampant

The game isn't classic at this point. Classic is very few raiders at the high end content and each expansion lasting a short amount of time with no one getting a full BiS character.
The devs have made non-classic changes to address certain player grievances but refuse to address the 50+ game which is what almost everyone has the ability to play. Since this isn't classic, and they are willing to make changes, they should address the raid scene because it is in no way a classic experience. | ||

More of a population in the Karanas/Qeynos/Everfrost is classic, its a barren wasteland here.

classic is no one having any clue what they are doing and rerolling 500,000 times running out to the wierdest camps just to hang out in a zone less populated except a few neckbeards like 10 on the server with the patience and perseverance to kill dragons in fine steal and bronze
everything else is just poopsocking | ||
