Which epic will become buyable next?

[Sirken]

why would anyone buy their epic now that any guild on the server can kill high end mobs?

Presumes the fact that everyone who wants an epic is in a raiding guild/wants to raid.

Come to P1999 for a classic EverQuest experience...then shortcut one of the most fundamental class items there is and buy at level 1.

I disagree with this statement. I think there are MQable epics that will be sold in the next year that haven't routinely been sold as of yet. Or, the bottleneck pieces of some epics which haven't been routinely for sale yet will also be sold.

Of course, you can answer that you think nothing is coming next. But that doesn't make my question loaded. At best, it makes me dumb and you smart. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Come Velious most of the epics have bottlenecks removed. You dont see the 2 "other easist epics" then the ones you listed which are pally and enchanter because there are parts that cant be MQ for final turnin. Paladins basically have the books that can be MQ and as stated cant MQ anything for chanters thats why they are not sold. All of the other epics have bottlenecked parts that wont be relieved til awhile into velious due to tons of people already needing them. You would occasionally see bard epic sold by TMO or major parts for other epics but that is because they had a monopoly on said items. That wont happen anymore.

epic quest, more like epic buy here.

mqing epic is a classic untended mechanic (BUG). not part of the "vision" at all as per my email from brad.

Ya, that's pretty obvious and is why I cannot for the life of me understand why Rogean gave the ok to add MQ into the database.
It's clear that the server is not meant to be 100% classic. And I appreciate the addition of convenience and creature comforts, such as item linking and a custom UI.

But MQ is not a creature comfort, it's a short cut that fuels an inflated and hyper synthetic economy ruled by exploiters and hacks.

It doesn't matter how many they catch or ban, what matters is that they enabled it in the first place.

When people introduced me to P99 some years ago, I got the impression it was classic EQ improved. Not 'classic eq that caters to those who will fund it more'

Getting rid of MQs only means loot rights just get sold instead.

This is already the case with shaman and monk epic. General is 2 zones away from EC - selling loot rights to him wouldn't change all that much. Nerfing MQ just stops cleric epics from being MQd - I don't think anyone is going to rally much support in that cause. I'm gonna guess you would still see loot rights sold to Ragefire, but it would have to be done by someone the community trusts enough to give out their info to (this is already done for monk epics).

You pals really need to develop some critical thinking skills.

As for an answer to the original post: ranger, druid, and magician.

Goes counter to why people are buying MQs in the first place though... pure laziness.

Sure some will, but I'd say its a push in the right direction for the laziest, and who wants to camp outside PoFear for days (or wherever) waiting to see if the seller's guild got FTE etc?

Critical thinking skills pasi, see both sides [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

the people who hear randomly about p99, download a torrent, only check the main page for the p99 update, and just play for fun are not overly effected by raid guilds or MQs.

Players that just play causually can get a full and rich classic EQ experience 1-50 and even 50-60 unguilded. If a player is nice and smart; they can usually find invites to hate/fear clears and even some sky raids. In classic EQ not everyone had best in slot and epic. Not everyone who plays p99 wants best in slot and epic. I would reckon there is a small amount that just want to play EQ in a classic manor requardless of their level or gear.

Now we all want pixels and the better the pixels the better the character and thus usually increase easy of play or allow harder challenges.

But what is a three year old economy suppose to look like? MQs allow the players that play an oppertunity to twink out their alts. That seems classic to me. First time I saw a level 5 rogue in rubi on live I was super jelly. But that is something that at times can inspire others to do things to get that top end loot. But in this thread it looks like it inspires hatered. I do believe that server staff has rooted the RMT problem away and you guys all jelly over those with the plats. Seems classic to me.

I love giving away bronze armor on p99 and random weapons I pick up in KC/COM/SOL B. Something as simple as visible armor will make a persons day. Everyone needs a way to kill willoswisps and that then that allows players to earn money and complete quests.

EQ is what you make it. I complained alot but I have really enjoyed 2014. I think if the server staff keeps up on rooting out RMT; the server economy will function as well as mudflation allows it.

Well, the rogue twink has to run to Highpass anyways. It's not like Kithicor is out of the way. Hell, my service would sell General corpses at any Kithicor /location desired. Of course, the cabin would be extra.

Shaman epic is similar too. Look at where the final turn for the epic is.

Monk epic is slightly out of the way, I'll give you that.
