Fippy Darkpaw adventure begins...or what?
Sony Online Entertainment announced the release of their so called time-locked progression server that be be activated this Tuesday 2-15-2011. After reading the descriptions, the server should be exactly the same as how The Sleeper/Combine servers started, but is this good?

The answer: Yes, because it depends on the person you are. If you like the old shit graphics (like me), then you may differ, but I like the new graphics too (except the gay Drakkin). Yea there will be the new Freeport and Commonlands zones instead of the old ones, but will that really ruin the experience or make it better or equal to?
Its clear the point of Fippy Darkpaw is NOT to bring back classic EQ, but to play the world of classic EQ again through inhanced zones/graphics. Of course you will get the options to make your graphics shit if you want to.
Class penalties and stats
Fippy will throw out the penalties...but is that bad? No. Penatlies are so enjoyable on P99, but sometimes people realize that racism can only funny for so long. As crappy as rangers are, they deserve an equal opportunity to level up.
People are complaining about the monks famous 26/20 level 50 stat and the SK's famous HT affecting gameplay. Ill tell you this, that wont happen. I know they said they are keeping the stats as is, but im 100% sure that they will curve some stuff out to make things fair.

End result: Will Fippy Darkpaw be a great server?
If you liked the Sleeper/Combine "classic" stages, then yes. If not, then still yes because you should always give things a try. Its always fun to start a character on the first months a server opens and I recommend you to do so.


see you there...or will I?
