I don't even know what expansion they are on now. I think last I logged in was before SoL release a few months ago.

IDK about all that, it's really hard to compare this to P99

On P99 Green during classic to get through level 45 you got a case of beer and spent 30 hours at Kobold Royals waiting 20 minutes at a time for more mobs to spawn. On TLP at level 45 you sit at BNB, pull all of Kobold Royals, clear all of BNB, and start pulling Imps and Fire Giants. All at once. This is the actual standard. I find myself constantly OOM and hoping no one notices that I let Resist Magic run off the tank and that he might get stunned by a Sonic bat and wipe. I just don't have the mana to re-buff, but if we stop to med we may lose a mob to a competing group.

Is this easier? IMHO no. Not even close. Me and my tanks regularly die. I don't think I've ever died at Kobold Royals son P99.

Now you could make the argument that you can just buy Krono, and that is true, but again, there are two types of players in this world. People who buy Krono, and those of us who do not need to. I did the math on it this morning and realized I'm making about as much money playing EverQuest as I make crypto mining.

I remember playing in 2000 on my Gateway. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't recognize anything here besides that. It's all social media and weirdness at this point.

There's so many things about real EverQuest that will never be replicated, likely in any other game, unless they find a way to prioritize socializing as much as grinding.

I remember playing EverQuest for years and my goal was never "let me log in and grind as much exp as humanly possible for the next 8 hours." I logged on and went in adventures, found other players to hang out with, no one knew anything, so you would see groups set up in the weirdest places, and Qeynos felt like a real social hub.

That just shows you weren't playing during the Abacab/Raren era of P99.
