Who is gonna miss Classic EQ , when kunark releases?

[Thetruth]

The truth says,

I for one am not looking foward to Kunark. I will miss classic so much. Sure sure it'll still be around I know. It just wont be same. *Tear*

Your truths?

[Bubbles]

I for one will.

I'd be 100% in favor of giving the devs a 3 month break to vacation..

And have them wipe the servers entirely before they jet out to let us scamper for that first cracked staff and backpack all over again. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's funny, because my nostalgia for old everquest has always been for Kunark. However, in the last couple weeks I've realized that I hardly know any of the Kunark zones. Overthere, Dalnir, Dreadlands, Karnors... those are pretty much the only ones I'm at all familiar with. I came into EQ during Kunark, but seem to have spent the majority of my time in the old world anyways.

Re: the server wipe? I'm indifferent to it. I love leveling up and growing in power and finding gear for my character and all that, but I just started on here 5 weeks ago... so I actually would probably be a bit burned out on leveling up if I had to do it again starting tomorrow.

thats imo the mainreason why ppl will start a toon on live progression. fresh starts have always been exciting in eq, especialy when they come with a brandnew server too.

I think the reason alot of people are thirsting for it is because a majority of the people who started on this server have left. With the rest of us finding out about it much later in its life, it's frustrating when a portion of the few who have remained from the beginning have a stranglehold on alot of the content. We just want a chance at stuff that's perma-camped or poopsocked, and a wipe would set an equal ground instead of all of us *hoping* the *OG's* will move on or by having to play by their rules to get at content. I think some people would get pissed and leave, but those are most likely going be the same individuals with an iron-grip on all the high-value items/resources which unfortunately don't represent a large/newer portion of the population at this point.

Seems like the same people are camping shit over and over and not because they need something, because they have nothing else to do but plat hoard. Well how about they re-lvl a toon (giving them something to do and if they say "Im not going to do that again fuck you" they probably are burnt out and should play something else for awhile anyways) and also give the rest of us a chance at some content that at the current time is very difficult to get a shot at.

I mean the same 2 guilds have killed the same few bosses a million times, and STILL will poopsock and camp them. I know its not a magic cure for limited content availability, but I would hope it would relieve alot of pressure for about... I don't know..... say 1 1/2 years?

This is what I like to call the "Revolutionary's Optimism". They could wipe, and this "equal footing" would be gone in no time. I'm not uber. I was for a time in Live. I don't want to be uber here. It's a lot of work. That's what the folks on the outside looking in always forget. That's what the folks on the inside never forget.

Within a week, those with the time will be top of the heap again; wipe or not. Those folks will always succeed ahead of the curve, not solely because they really know the game and are good, but because they also have the sick amount of time to invest.

That's why games like WoW are ingenious because the game can make the hardcore uber players and the time-starved power gamers both feel like they are really good.

You and I my friend... we're time starved power gamers. I agree with your sentiment, and there is certainly merit in the perspective of "I got here late but I'm just as good". However, in my experience, this sort of talk is the territory of the sour-grapes crowd.

They wipe the server and I guarantee that the top 10% with the knowhow and the time will be the top 10% by any measurable means three months from now if they keep playing.

/The above is my opinion and as such is no more valid or invalid than anyone else's opinion. Except of course for Insane Larry who drinks paint thinner and mates with electrical sockets; my opinion means more than his by default.

The top guilds on this server are not some static group with zero turnover. You can app them and you can join them. In my opinion any competent person willing to put in the time and effort can get to this content that you feel is monopolized.

I've been playing casually on this server coming up on a year now, and I have seen several people who just a few months ago were asking for buffs in the EC tunnel so they could kill snakes and are now walking around with CT loot. As much as it might seem, the raid scene is not that exclusive.

Im sure as hell not going to miss classic....I like Kunark
