What Expansion Did You Quit Live?

[stormlord]

I retired several times so this poll isn't fair. I quit in 1999 to go to UO and didn't come back until 2001. I didn't quit because something was wrong with EQ, I quit because I wanted to see what else was out there. I came back when I had the means and was interested in doing so. I quit in 2002 and came back in 2005. Quit and came back in 2007. Quit off and on until 2010 when I quit and haven't returned. Last I was there, I was frustrated because I thought they should make SOD easier rather than push us levelers into OMMs and BOOMs.

EQ has a syndrome. It makes trashy new content that's a slimy shadow of what it's replacing. I think if they had made the new content AND readjusted old(er) content then that would have been the best thing to do of all things I can imagine. But they keep ignoring the progression players. If they had made SOD easier substantially while also supplying the OMMs and BOOMs then I think the entry into UF would have been smoother. And if they had made UF a bit more like SOD was then UF would have been more successful too. As it was, UF was tuned hard at first instead of easy at first and this made worse its other overlooked problems.

That and camping, even all these years later, is still not fun. It never will be either.

I do think EQ2 is a superior game to EQ1 right now.
