I don't play this nearly as serious as I did back in EQ Live in 1999. Already knowing what to do and where to go makes it so I can dink off a little more while playing, but I still take my role in whatever class im playing at the time serious. I still find people who kill bosses an accomplishment. I still find server-firsts great. etc etc.

But I play no where near as serious as I used to in live back in 99'. Mainly because back then it was new, now it's a replay.

Found out about this great and glorious server...and my hubby and I left WoW to play here permanently. It's classic EQ (hopefully eventually to be Kunark and Velious)...no PoP, no Luclin. Just regular old graphics, pain in the ass corpse run EQ. And we love it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Considering that we are talking about games after all, I don't think I'd call what I do on any of them "serious".

But I am spending more time on this server than in any other computer games (or all of them combined, really- I usually only play one thing at a time).

The 10 year old game statement is being taken too literally. Ya the game is 10 years old and that does not matter much. It is more like the content has been beaten, posted on, strats refined, etc. It's not all that much of an accomplishment to take out content that everyone knows about. The only thing is you got there first. You didn't wipe 100s of times figuring out a strategy. Only to finally do it and have the contet nerfed 2 weeks later.

Take sky for example. Everyone knows the path through sky. The secrets
have been posted all over the net it even has numerous dedicated sites to it's story, strategies, etc. Getting from isle 1 to 8 isn't as magical as it once was. Getting to sister isle alone was quite the mystery. Wiping over and over and over again on bee island because you didn't know WTF was happening (first time mobs split). Now it is regurgitated content. Anyone who wants to know how to get through sky just has to type "plane of sky" into their favorite search engine. You can apply this logic to EQ as a whole. That is why the "why so serious over an 10 year old game" statement will never die.

P99 is great to play but when anyone gloats about it... It's about as much of an accomplishment now as figuring out the clues in atari's Swordquest tomorrow.

Sigh, and another off into rants and flames.

If I didn't love EQ (specifically, classic EQ) I wouldn't play computer games at all. So I guess it's my "favorite" by default.

I only play ~2 hours per week though, by choice.
