All AGNARR related things

[Tecmos Deception]

Kinda got excited this morning about the idea of trying Agnarr. I have a buddy who likes EQ but tends to get turned off by the hardcore-ness and lack of convenience of P99, but who might stick with Agnarr longer. I would like AAs (I dislike the mechanic of level and gear being the only things that contribute to character power). I wouldn't mind seeing all the Luclin and PoP zones I didn't get familiar with back in the day.

But then I read the Agnarr FAQ. LoY and LDON too? Respawning with items after a death? Augmentations to balance melee vs caster in the classic expansions of Agnarr's lifespan? Instances of non-raid zones when the population is high? New layout in like a dozen classic zones? Countless changes to items and NPCs and quests that aren't era-appropriate even for the LOY and LDON eras? No weight coins?

Even if I were a junkie for Luclin and PoP, that is a pretty huge list of things that will make the game feel even less like the Luclin and PoP era than P99 feels like classic, even ignoring all the mechanic wonkiness that will exist from them not putting enough/any effort into revisiting behind-the-scenes coding of modern EQ compared to <2005 EQ.

Shit. Yeah. Then there's that.

All the people who use to play classic EQ got old.
It's ruining modern gaming just as much as all the youth with no respect.

Apparently having kids and responsabiltes = everyone has to suffer shitty games.
And apparently youth with their mobile instant satisfaction mentality = everyone has to suffer shitty games.

Welcome to the future, this is why no one can have nice things. This is also why micro-transaction became a thing.

I greatly question the longevity of the server - Having said that I will probably box a Druid and Beastlord during Lucilin just to give it a test drive

i feel like this is the best answer anyone can expect to see about agnarr. gives you the full advantage of enjoying summer outdoors. join where p99 leaves off and beat your cakes a little to luclin and pop raids. don't really need to worry about getting a guise when you can instance your own ocean of tears and just do seafuries and get one from the kings court casino. and as far as longevity obviously none of the niche sandboxes will survive if pantheon can live up to even half of the expectation. best way to summarize it is a mushroom trip once you realize it's just a ride then you gotta quit fighting it and enjoy it.

Lol you cant instance your own OoT. It requires certain x number of people then a time limit to open a 2nd instace of a zone....that is if oot CAN be picked.

I think some of y'all are just scared to pay a monthly fee bcoz you'd not have to eat for one day a month to pay it.

P99 has so much no classic shit on it too. I think Agnarr is going to be a raging sucess for Daybreak and will eat atleast 30-40% of p99's pop.

Who doesnt want want an instance version of PoP? And find a guild that raids according to your schedule so you can have a life while seeing content you didnt get to see back in the day.

Instanced raiding means guilds can raid at 7-10pm 4 days a week and enjoy eq while playing with their kids. Not this lame FTE foot races at 3am with batphones and eyebags.

Sorry neckbeard and no lifers, this server takes away from what you value: 18 hour eq sessions to FTE Gozzrem and have a bunch of other no lifers pat you on the back for snagging it.

This is exactly the point, I think, of Agnarr. At the end of the day, it's how you want to play that matters. Would I love to go back in time (knowing nostalgia itself is severely colored reality) and play the difficult, amazing game EQ classic was, for entire weekends? Sure. But it's not an option with two young children, and I fear it would get old very quickly. With faster xp but "mostly" classic mechanics, etc., this seems like a very appealing way of experiencing the fun and thrill of the classic experience, modified for the realities of life. It is, after all, just a game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lol classic mechanics. You are either seriously deluded or have no idea what classic was like. There is literally nothing 'classic experience' about Agnarr. Nothing.

Well, there are salty neckbeards who make it their lifes mission to ruin the experience for everyone else.

It's interesting how much people can hate on what others may want to try or enjoy that said people do not like or do not want to try.

I know many people that are intrigued with Agnarr, but say the same thing; "I would try it but don't want to pay for a sub."

I don't ask why, I honestly don't know their financial situation but can respect that over how some people spout off about all the evil things Agnarr will bring to the game which is ridiculous.

If you don't like it, don't play it then.

But don't try to justify to all the ones who will or want to try it why you hate it so much when in actuality there's probably more than the simple "it's not classic" reason behind why you are not going to try Agnarr.

It's cool if someone simply doesn't want to pay a sub for Agnarr, but it's not cool hating those who will.

Never seen so many immature men whining about why others shouldn't play a game until now.
