Koadic's Endless Intellect

[Feanoir]

Also there are impressive zones, then there are zones that are just big for fucks sake..... I really don't enjoy spending 25 minutes running along a wall to get inside katta casteleum or however you spell it....all that shit coulda been smaller....i liked the building details and layouts..they just could have made the cities and buildings much more reasonable

I didn't mind the Vah Shir, the Luclin models, or the Bazaar really...what i hated was that instead of people gathering all over Norrath, ie Gfay, EC, Rivervale, HHK, everyone went to nexus when they weren't grouping. Essentially everyone was either running to a nexus portal, in the nexus, or grouping (usually in Luclin zones because they dropped good items and had good exp) it condensed everyone into a few zones and really killed the immersion aspect of the game. It made most of Norrath a ghostown. The town next to nexus had anything a player needed....ports out to each continent. guild trainers, tradeskill supplies....there was no more use for all the towns, and it killed the social vibe. Not only that but it really irked me that every race/class was represented there...i mean what the heck kind of town has every race coming together to be friends when a 15 minute port away they're still at eachother's throat....its just messy nonsense to me

You just described this server, but instead of the nexus its east commons.

i never understood the hate for cats on the moon but the acceptance of dogs in the earth ( kobolds ), or lizards in the ruins oh wait but not THOSE lizards in the ruins.. these other cooler lizards in these other ruins no one has discovered yet.

Kerrans are original EQ content. I don't have any issue with playable cat-people, lizard-people, dragon-people or so on.

That said, Luclin was like someone grafting Barsoom onto Middle Earth. The concepts in that expansion really didn't work for me.

soulbinders were a good addition, especially during off peak hours. hell on red it can take days to get a bind for a melee.

I never understood the hate for PoK books outside of PvP servers.

Seriously, if Rogean enabled binding in Timorous Deep for a day, half the fucking server would bind at Firepots, and the other half would bitch and moan that they couldn't play that day to get bound.

People want other players to run from Field of Bone to East Commonlands, but they don't want to do it themselves (maybe past the first time).

Because it's a multiplayer game and some things should take multiple players, like fast travel.

Where PoK is REALLY a travesty is that you don't have to go there the first time by foot. As soon as you get into PoK, the world is 2 minutes away. What used to feel like islands and continents are now just really big rooms in a mansion.

KEI didn't make Enchanters unwanted in exp groups. From classic to... fuck, I don't even know - enchanters have been a part of the best exp/loot groups. You simply can't go wrong playing a war/cler/enc in EQ groups. Even if you took away KEI, Luclin for Enchanters brought a shitload of new AOE zones and Dire Charm for new/old playgrounds.

I don't necessarily disagree that the game should require multiple players for fast travel. In fact, I respect players that are immersed in their travels. I'm one of those people who runs pretty much everywhere that doesn't require waiting for a boat. Granted, I usually just auto-run in the direction I need to go and tab out to do something else.

What I do know is that if Nilberg enabled PoK on this server, 99% of the playerbase would be bound there. The same is true of Timorous Deep Firepots. Most of the people who complain about convenient travel would be the people using it - it's the hypocrisy that bothers me when these same people hate on Spires/PoK. People are opposed to other players getting convenient travel, but will gladly take it themselves should the opportunity present itself.

Just because people argue against fast travel doesn't mean they are hypocrites for using it. If a recovering alcoholic goes to a party and is given some free beer, he is going to be compelled to drink it. That doesn't make him a hypocrite for wanting to go to a party that doesn't have any beer.

Hypocritical would be if a player bound at the firepots argued against opening it for other people to bind there, or someone arguing for a one-day-only period where everyone is allowed to bind there, but no one in the future will be able to.

Confirmed fully immersed.
