Things That Should Not Be

Im not okay with frogloks or catmen!

Player opinions should not be in project 1999.

Everquest was far, far better as a game before the development team started listening to what players wanted.

Game developers are successfull at their profession for a reason. I firmly believe not only Everquest, but video games in general, were better before developers got all touchy-feely with their users and started giving a shit what we asked for.

We're lazy idiots who screm bloody murder on the forums about "nerf this," or "baww that class has something I want because I want a super character," or "oh god it's too hard bawww." If you want to see what user input does to a game, log into eqlive, level from 1-85 in a month using your mercenary, then go camp goup-drop gear that's nearly as good as raid-drop gear.

We'd be in a much better place had the early EQ devs told us to shut the fuck up and play the game.

The purpose of this thread is not to demonstrate what the players want. It is here simply to reflect on EQ with 20/20 hindsight and determine what factors, in your opinion, derailed the classic EQ experience. The purpose of this thread is to determine what players do not want; Information that could be much for valuable than knowing what they do want, when developing future mmorpgs

I was actually kind of excited when dyes first came out...then I saw a troll wearing pink, yellow, lime green, and blue mixed armor and instantly disdained the implementation of it.

I really enjoyed the Velious armor textures, and was saddened when the Luclin models ruined those [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I LOVED the Luclin character graphics! I had a new hairstyle every day!

The bazaar should have "never been seen"!
