Things That Should Not Be

I really enjoyed the luclin expac. I thought the models where a pretty neat upgrade but sometime in PoP I wanted my old original face back. So I pretty much agree with everyone else. Below is just me rambling on about it.

I also really liked how armor looked on the old models. One of the most enchanting moments in EQ I had was stumbling on a group of players in Everfrost just a bit away from the Halas ramp chillin. One of the warriors was wearing a 'horned helm' that made me gush just looking at it. That model was forever ruined with luclin graphics.

The bazaar was all right but I don't think it was the right direction to go. I like something a little more organic, the EC tunnel is easily one of the staples of what made EQ awesome. I was certainly not alone when I would run into the tunnel and ask someone if I could barter, beg, or plea with them for some buffs. Trading and leveling alts was awesome.

Talking with a buddy we decided that Bazaar was an awesome concept (having a central zone of neutral faction, complete with banks, crafting vendors, crafting stations, and no weight encumbrance). The big downside of Bazaar was the vendor mode. If they removed AFK'ing to sell stuff in vendor mode, it would have been a helluva zone for bartering IMO. Not just searching the listings, undercutting the cheapest by 3% and AFK'ing for the night for sales.

I always thought the silliest part of the bazaar (I never played EQ before it, so I didnt know how rad EC tunnel was until P99), was actually having to leave your fucking game and computer on all night just to sell shit. Can you imagine how many fucking megawatts of power were wasted by people AFK selling in the EQ bazaar? Or how much the life of a computer was shortened from that crap? I personally went through 2 fans cause of that shit.
