Possibly the best mmo. Ramble about gathering
I must say for such simplistic combat and camping this has to be the most fun I have ever had in an mmo. At first I felt as if it was missing something, gathering. I missed gathering herbs growing on the ground or pickaxing nodes I saw along the way. Then it hit me. The materials that sell well in EC chat come from green mobs scattered about. Wow, green mobs are the gathering nodes! This took my enjoyment of the game to a new level. I can just kite a bunch of the green con guys and wack at them with a stick. It gives me something to do besides grinding enemies for xp and I'm making money doing it. An hour of grinding gives me enough money to pay for ports around the world. If I just kill them when I see them I dont need to grind. Ive been hauling my bags of materials to the tunnel and making good lowbie money to help me get some starter cash. Every day seems like a new adventure here. This game is really heavy with meta, which I think is part of the reason it is so charming. Its like a world that the players have built a game around.

I think EQ is the greatest mmo ever as well. For me though, it's because it's the only virtual world that feels like it's actually alive. Unlike WOW and other mmo's where I totally still feel like i'm playing a game, eq makes me feel as though im in a different world. Big difference in the enjoyment factor. The faction system helps this immensely, as does the community. I'm also big on the spell system. I've been playing EQ off and on for nearly 16 years and I still haven't seen or experienced everything. That's some good content right there in a day and age where people burn through brand new video game content in hours/days. I just wish someone would take the original EQ model and update the graphics and nothing else. That'd be pure gold imho.

Anywho, i agree with everything else, definitely my mmo for world feel. The action games are fine for a stint but this is home. As to gathering, im fine with mobs being nodes or with world spawns. Although i do object to breaking 20 levels of the money game in one hour of gathering but this is common with player economies. | |||

There are also rare ground spawns in EQ, and you could forage for gathering too!
