Yes, and here in lies the reason why all of us will never be "happy" with today's presentation. We all call ourselves old school and classic, but we all really want different things when get down to it.

CRs, but not too long...no easy travel, but reasonable travel times...risk v. Reward balance, but not time sinks...none of us ar really asking for the same thing.

I can say this...right now I am on a line waiting to get into the unveil in Vegas..,and it is exciting. The waiting is almost over, and the suspense building for YEARS is about to flood loose. It is a good day to love gaming. No matter how much you like or don't like what we see today.

Then you need classes that have a purpose. EQ1 was tough in the beginning when nobody had rez, sow, ports, summon corpse etc. Once people hit 50, if I was a in a guild, say I died in LGuk. For some reason I am bound in Erudin.

/gu can someone port me from Erudin to Lguk?
xxx tells you: Sure
/gu thanks!

So technically, you can make death the same as classic EQ, so long as the classes are there and have meaning.

I do not mind camping etc. 8 hour spawn times though are stupid for mobs. 15-20 min spawn times for mobs makes more sense. Gives you time to talk to friends, share stories etc. That was half the fun of playing.
