Simple, bragging rights.

The same reason people raced to be the first to complete epics like 10 years ago....to be the first.

That was damn sure the reason I rushed to get my epic done. busted my ass. was not the first overall but was the first on server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have to agree. I know it's for bragging rights but come on guys. This is the second play through for most of us. Why not take your time and enjoy it? Instead of speeding through the lvl's to just get bored and QUIT again. Meh. Only my opinion.

Because camping fungi king at level 60 is more fun than camping a KC courtyard at 51.

Then hoard your Fungis for the infamous drop-rate nerf and sell them at 1000% profit!!!

Some of us like to play in different ways. No one here has the right to judge others' basis for fun. (unless it involves cheating, hacking, or ruining others' fun...)

Edit: P.S. the guy who farmed turnins for months was legit too, but the poor guy got screwed.

1. "game is fun as hell"
2. therefore people play a lot
3. ???
4. end up at level 60

Are you really too dense to figure out that step 3 is "therefore people level up quickly"?

It's not like good players who play for 16 hours a day for the first 2-3 days are actually going to end up at 60 with vastly less time /played than good players who didn't even log on in the first few days. No one is "missing" anything by playing a lot; they're just getting in a hell of a lot of fun in a short span of real-life days.

Because it's EQ, it's not like WoW where powerlevelling straight to the top means you miss out on shit loads of quests/content. Levelling fast in EQ just means you spend less time grinding the same mobs over and over.
