Here's how I look at EQ this time around.
When I played EQ original I felt it was a world with multiple ways to play from choosing what class/race to play to soloing, to grouping, to guild raids and even PVP if you liked. Hell if you wanted to be a crafter you could do that. If you wanted to buy low sell high merchantize you could even do that. The game for me was almost limitless, and it didn't matter how long it was gonna take all that mattered was it was fun. But, all of a sudden the winds changed. It turned into a grind fest with all the new added content and easy mode installations. I started to think I need to get this or I need to get to that level and I lost myself in selfish grind mode and it was destructive and I think many others have had that same problem. Your nothing til your max level, your nothing til your raid gear equipped, your nothing unless you maxed all your trade skills. The worst was your nothing if you didn't box. I couldn't and didn't want to hang with that crowd it tore at my core. So I quit.
This time around I'm gonna look at EQ in a different light, like monopoly. I'm gonna level some on my necro and when I'm sick of that maybe a sham my then maybe a ranger. Kinda like choosing battleship, race car, or thimble in monopoly. I Love the noobie zones especially EC. I wanna be the guy who drops 200 plat on a noobie and hope that it may keep him around to enjoy the game some when he thinks it's getting too hard and wants to quit. Anyways I just love this game so much and keeping it classic is great and I wanna fill all my character slots up playing it
