oh nm, I guess the griffin is in (based on a forum search). Though I thought it was griffon. Either way, by the time I started here the server was already saturated with lvl 50s and their twinks. Guess the griffin doesn't last long. Vastly different when I started out on live.

Well depends when you started on Live and what server.

The Griff was up a LOT for me in Classic - but then EC wasn't a trading zone on Vallon Zek - it was a PvP zone, lol.

It wasn't uncommon to see 20+ people hanging out at the Nek zone, just waiting on 'lighties' to wander by.

Everybody keeps saying that training is classic. On Solusek Ro server no one trained hardly ever UNLESS they had a legitimate train and were trying to make it to the zone before they died. Obviously if you're sitting at the entrance to Lguk or any zone like that you are retarded and deserve to die. Sitting in the EC tunnel and getting trained is retarded. Why even have a social/trade zone if you cannot use it without worrying about getting killed for NO reason. I personally have not been killed there but that doesn't mean that I think it is ok. Moral of the story is... Get your excuses that trains are classic out of here because you, me, and every other person on this forum knows it's not true (at least not in the context that people use trains here). Sure trains are classic for dungeons or any other zone that mobs are higher level OR if a newb is in EC hunting and trains some spiders or whatever other mobs but an intentional attack and train of an NPC is garbage. If training the EC tunnel was classic for you then I'm sure as hell glad I didn't play on your server. Also before people start whining about saying stuff about a carebear server, that is not what I want. I do however believe that getting trained in the zone you sell in is unnecessary and people that do it have some form of mental retardation and are on the same level as a normal person winning the special olympics and being proud of it.

Based entirely on your own experience, our experience and opinion is wrong. Ok. I never saw those intentional trains. Never.

Oh come on let's not bring the special olympics into this :P


On a side note, in live, I once saw someone train virtually every Mob in South Ro to the Innothule Zone line. That was friggin hilarious.

Well I don't mean that everyones opinion is wrong but I just find it very hard to believe that this actually happened (often) when I played EQ for 5 years and never saw it happen like hardly ever. I have seen my share of intentional trains but usually no one was killed (on purpose). It was normally like you said, someone would gather up an entire zone just for fun and train to a zoneline (which was pretty hilarious to watch people try to do this). Normally that didn't cause a ton of death though to random bystanders [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. And it was also rarely done because of someone that had a sandy va....

I really like being able to sell stuff in EC. I noticed the auctions were very slow tonight and nobody was buying my pelts... is it because of this? Did the trade area move already?

Sticking to classic is great but ecomm tunnel trading was a huge part of my classic experience, much more than this one problematic NPC. I don't see why she can't just be removed altogether. Sure it's not completely ideal, but it tops the current situation and would seem to be a simple fix.

Why allow a couple bad apples affect the server economy for everyone?
