So what's there to do in Velious anyway?

ITT, much like every EQ Nostalgia thread on rerolled, is people equating timesinks with difficulty. Timesinks aren't difficult. Did you love VT because it had all dem trash mobs you had to spend hours and hours clearing, sure was "difficult" amirite? No, it was fucking awful. I'd much rather spend hours banging my head against the wall on a difficult raid mob as I try to figure out the encounter than do so against trivial trash mobs just to get to the raid mob. I guess it's a matter of preference. I like to play games to actually get to play. Travel was always trivial to me in classic, but I was a caster who could bind, apart from the sporadic trip to town to sell all my l33t gearz, I was always in a dungeon or what not, it's not like I was taking 3 hour strolls through the karanas erryday

You also have to keep in mind that a lot of old EQ players literally grew up in this game. Their social life was everquest, their fun after school was everquest, their best friends were in everquest and for some...their sex life was in everquest.

It's like going back to your little home town and seeing all the changes that have taken place, nobody likes it. But you just have to accept that the changes were made for a reason, are simply unavoidable, and the majority of times it was with the intent of benefiting people...and actually did benefit people.

I played EQ from classic through GoD on and off. Nothing ever "ruined" the game for me, I just got bored of it and went to do something else.
