Bad argument.

Pong WAS great back in the day too, but no one is going to fire it back up and play it as much as they did back in the day... because it's not back in the day anymore.

So too, just because most of us played EQ back in the day without concerning ourselves with hybrid penalties and maximizing DPS and group xp bonuses and stuff... it isn't back in the day anymore. Obviously the OP is interested in/cares about/is concerned with what he's posting about, or he wouldn't post about it. Just because you don't share his interest doesn't mean you should be telling him what is fun and what to think.


Edit - actually your post is full of generalizations and untruths. The numbers mean what people want them to mean. What made the game great is somewhat irrelevant nowadays since few people are in the same situation to play now as they were before. Community was not the only thing that made eq special. The journey is only the most important thing for some people. Not inviting a 6th isn't "being an asshat" in and of itself. Etc.

the point i was trying to make is early eq (before all the boxing of 2-6 characters, before mercs etc) was all about grouping and social interaction.

Thats' what makes it different to so many other mmo's that have followed. That's why most people have fond memories of eq. That's why most people on here think eq as it is now on live has been ruined

I played eq for 5 years, then wow for 5 years. I have more memorable moments from eq than wow.

so forget the numbers. add in that 6th. This is s small community, you'll probably end up grouping with that person many more times.
