Classic / Kunark state of the union

Exactly.

I love the "I don't want to start over so nobody should be able to start over" argument.

For some people it is enjoying the journey to 60. To others it is enjoying being level 60. To each his own. This is another reason why Everquest is great.

I'm sorry, but the other day I was doing something on my cleric. Struggling, and failing multiple times. I logged in my 60 wizard and kicked the SNOT out of what I was trying to kill. To me, THAT was fun!

If you can find where that's been said by anyone that counts, then that's great for you.

Opening a new server will indirectly kill the old server, you know that.... we all know that. There isn't the population to split among 2 PvE servers, so either find another 1500-2000 players to play P99 or stop asking for a new server.

Why do you even want a new server? Want to be richer than others compared to now? Want to own 10 manastones/fungis...well so will everyone else. Think there won't be a TMO on the new one? Think it'll run better than this one?

I don't get it. Nothing will change, except there won't be as many twinks around for a few months.

The server is saturated beyond repair. That said, people like this guy getting their panties in a wad trying to protect their pixels is about as classic as it gets.

I have a feeling that they don't dare announce plans for a new server specificly to not make playing here feel pointless.

Reminds me of the feeling I have had about playing on red99 since the recent announcement...

Ranger track was horribly broken due to a false inference from a patchnote, it is absurdly :notclassic: atm.

Kunark Mountain Giants should be stunnable by spell (they were the only ones), but at least the HGs, SGs, & Kunark Forest Giants aren't anymore (have not tested whether HGs/SGs can be stunned by bash from behind, should be possible but guessing they were given absolute immunity here.)

I disagree Nirgon. Both AC and Resists are almost certainly broken, I mean normal spells too not just the 255 cap. Basically I feel like while Nilbog has done a fantastic job reproducing the zones/mobs/quests/factions/etc, the actual game mechanics are quite a ways off. This set of priorities baffles me, but it's not my server.

Also I would quit instantly if I couldn't have a separate chatbox. That would destroy 90% of my social interactions.

If they saw you, they merely give you a warning. Its just not classic without seeing more people bug a mob back and forth =/

Not gonna lie I've died to some of this not working as I remembered it working. CoM was a goldmine of free XP on my main back in live. I was bummed as can be that I couldn't use the invis trick to easily charm the epic NPC in CoM, too. Sure there are other ways up, but I was sad the wall climb didn't work.

People always want to bitch about this server not being hardcore enough, but what I really miss are the exploits. EQ to me was always players vs developers to see who could win, and such "exploits" were part and parcel of the game and a huge draw for me to a classic server.

At least you can still play aggro games with sitting/standing to keep mobs from ever hitting you.


The "We want classic" mindset here is so horribly fucked. People want what they remember as being classic - shitty UIs and lag and all the garbage that came with it- and none of the positives or fun stuff because people will exploit it all to hell. Can't have it both ways. Revert all the raid nerfs, pathing, etc or forget the spellbook memming and other nonsense.

I have been on here since almost the launch. This is a TOTALLY different game since then. You ought to be pissed off as hell you did not get to take advantage of it now.

I love how lots of old timers say well its not Classic. Shit this sever was easy as hell to get to level 50 at the start. They have nerfed the HELL out of this game good or bad.

You are being screwed and you don't even know it. There is a reason there is a LOT of level 60 alts on here.

Another great point. Remember that classic UI comes with :

- No ability to filter anything, so all spell starts, stops, interrupts, melee hits, misses, deaths, exp messages, TELLS, group messages, guild chat, etc ALL gets spammed together.


I'm not sure who will actually enjoy that again.

All in all Sadre is a happy little mutherfucker. Cheers all!
