Let's talk about natural progression here.

[FadedVision]

To call this server natural progression is ridiculous. Sure, there were twinks here and there, there were wars over mobs constantly(much cleaner on live), and I even remember being called at work for raids more than a couple of times by EQ friends 2 time zones away(I did not own a cell phone, most didn't). This is not the same everquest. It has the same mobs, same names, and some of the same items... but the real difference is that you all have been stuck in this expansion for about 3x longer than you should have been. There should be new fresh content for you guys to explore and conquer. New dragons, new loot, and a larger variety of bosses to disperse this poopsock parade. Spreading the competition throughout other areas of interest and freeing up what should be old and "boring" content to new players so that they can experience the same joys you got at that level.

Leveling as a low level, you hear the bitterness. "guilds have naggy and vox perma camped with twinks." They know that they will not be able to naturally progress as they should. That is not "natural progression" and a GM should ban you for doing that. If you have to restart fear/hate when gods spawn, then you should have to do the same for dragons, restart your raid in WC's everytime. You have locked out content from newer players for years(I'm guessing) because you are greedy. I am sorry, when I was 60 on live. If someone wanted me to level up to 52 to perma camp naggy or Vox I would have laughed in your face and went on farming TOV, farming sleepers, AOW, Tunare, etc. The fact that you do not have anything better to do and that GM's have not disbanded this monopoly speaks to the fact that the GM's are either A) part of one of these guilds and enjoy the benefits or B) the GM's have absolutely no control over this game or it's ability to recreate the natural progression of the original game. This game is not kept with the essence upon which it was made. The live staff worked to keep things like this from happening, that is why you would be teleported away if you were over 53, because in the actual game you WOULD NOT STOP LEVELING YOUR CHARACTER SIMPLY BECAUSE IT KEEPS YOU CAPABLE OF CAMPING DRAGONS. You should be wanting to keep leveling to enjoy new content. Not reliving old and tired content because you are simply put, greedy.

The greed on this server is disgusting. People pay for power leveling, pay for epics(which are actually fun to quest on their own, try it), and actually roll NbG on epic pieces just to MQ them. Try doing the rogue epic, it's filled with greedy explicitive who are sitting around farming MQ's for 25k. Try actually doing that epic(which starts at 50 btw, meaning you should not be able to own one unless you are 50). It's just a bunch of rude people fighting over MQ's, choking off people who are actually trying to finish the epic. They are rude, mean, and greedy beyond measure.

I know that some people are going to flame me on here and I don't care. /rude
