Really the Velious Epic changes are what should go in now if anything. What with the whole us being in Kunark for 33 months. Whereas live had Kunark for 8 and the epics patched to be easier after 12.

It's a game. Games are supposed to be fun. This was just poor game design, but it's how it was. It could have been epic without causing bedsores, but this was one of the first games of it's kind and it was a perpetual work in progress. Plus, the longer they kept you playing, the more they got in subscription fees.

I would argue that it is not just simply poor game design. Everquest intended, successfully imo, to create a sense of value in items and encounters by making them difficult to obtain.

Velious would resolve a lot of issues with epics. In addition to new content freeing up spawns, many quests get adjusted to be not so bottlenecky.

Disagree with OP.

Engaging games are actually about what you *can't* do, not what you can.

Agreed.

A very well informed individual posting.

Best post of the year, a late contender but a winner no less.

Not sure how a post 13 years ago is post of the year.

Anywhos, to OP - "Welcome to EverQuest".

Also, always feel free to think outside the box. EQ is a social game first and foremost, and there are always different ways for people to solve issues. Try talking to the people, see if you can start a list with ways to contact one another when their turn is due? Even take it out of game if needed. Try to start a rotation. The server had Ragefire on rotation for a very long time. Guilds that were "next in line" would often even help the current guild if it was that horrible 4am spawn or some garbage. You have an uphill battle, but if it's worth it to you, there are ways to make it work.

The thing that pissed me off the most was how some epics were so easy and some were insanely hard. Thanks Verant!

Basically this.

A lot of the fixes to Kunark content that were finally addressed after Velious I wouldn't mind going in now. So far as that they don't add content. IE Full Planar revamps shouldn't happen. Bug fixes like iksars having a decent armor set and some epic bottlenecks getting removed would be sweet.

It's classic, 20 months past classic infact.

He uses information from then to make a point today, and it stands well.

When you can't say it better yourself, quote the original source.

Even better, it speaks to the intentions of the game from the words of the creators. If you want to spin the content/mechanics of this game into something that serves your interests better, you are welcome to try after he posted that.

Post of the year, this year, is served as a reminder.
