Not directly related to that point, but it is sort of odd that there is no North/South Commons or East/West Desert of Ro, though East Ro would just be Timorous Deep. The lack of each did keep the two coasts from feeling samey at least. Stranger still that there's no South Freeport, or East/West Qeynos.

I vaguely remember sony saying something pre-kunark about how they couldn't roll out any new graphics other than tinting\palette swaps because it would be a violation of the EULA, and some users wouldn't be able to upgrade due to the limitations of their hardware yet they were paying subscribers. Then I think they got some lawyers involved and realized oh nah we totally can. But don't quote me on that.

The class armor quests are one of my most favorite things about classic, it was a huge injection of content, organically created in response to the feedback of the playerbase. And it made rubi rare and cool to have.

Just as an aside, they then went all in with EQ2 which not many existing PCs at launch could run versus WoW which would run on the most burnt out old laptop [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh I fondly remember playing EQ2 at launch on absolute lowest settings and still averaging about 20fps tops. I would turn the settings up to full to take screenshots, which would sometimes make it crash lol. Shit engine but I actually liked vanilla eq2.

Is it just that I don't understand the Australian moonspeak accent? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
