Anyone tried EQLive with its 50 expansions?

I have said it on the Forums before. You can play the Test server. Get everything for free there. you DO NOT have to use the Stones, have a merc, pick up uber drop gear, etc, etc. If you play with no real good gear it is as slow there as it is here. And there is a ton more places to go and things to do. You can make it what you want compared to here. If you like going to KC, Seb, and HS 75 times a week, killing the same mobs over and over like on here, well enjoy. [You must be logged in to view images.

Well, considering they have changed the way XP works and so many of the original mechanics, there's really no way to go back. It's a different game now (and a bit of a mess IMO, but it's just my opinion).

Also... I was using the live S3Ds to get the updated textures. I tried to zone into the Commons and crashed. They have changed it totally on live (I didn't know that).

I didn't say it was perfect, but it sure as hell isn't here either. The XP is no faster if you start off with a Orc pick and a Cloth Robe. There is high Zem zones there just like here. I am not a big fan of the way they re did EC EFP etc but having tons more zones to go to is a plus for me. I play on all of the EQ servers. So I get to play the best of all of them. The Sleeper server is a lot like P1999 was when it first started and you get to 2 box. I like it, Firepots and all.

How is sleeper doing? I logged in last night and did a who all 1-30 during peak (est) hours and it came up with 15 people, and I was one of them. Assuming they are all 2 boxing thats 7 people between levels 1-30...didn't look like a good sign to me.

How many people were on P1999 when it started? You were here.

But I like Sleeper because Nobody is pissing about the Raid scene, MM, Unrest, etc. At least not this week yet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Within the first few months there were several hundred people online here during peak hours, and it just continued to grow from that point.

And yeah there's definitely nobody complaining about any of that stuff on sleeper, but I'm pretty sure that just comes down to lack of players to create the drama.

Surprised Toop hasn't just called it a day and given it up. I'd rather play on one of the green coloured custom servers on EQemu.
