you can't call it classic if you have a graphic card

EQ was the first game to require a 3d graphics card I think.

Cry harder maybe theyll change it back to cater to the 1% of players that do nothing but screw over everyone else and RMT loot when they're 6th alt doesn't need it.


I love seeing how upset these folks get after ruining the raid scene for 4 years when it finally becomes tolerable they cry and blame casuals for it.

Of course this just goes back to the same reasons that caused the changes to occur in the first place: This server has not been able to stay on schedule with content releases, thus the amount of plat and number of geared toons has grown out of control.

The only real way to fix it, is not by rationing out loot in an attempt to make the enormous casual population happy, but by fixing the timeline. Wipe it, start from scratch, and release according to the same schedule as the original. People won't have 6th alts to be gearing, nor will they have as much plat as a small country. No alt armies camped at every boss. That's a much more classic approach than loot rationing IMO.

I think you're lost. Here, let me help:

I would be very interested in seeing how a new PVE server would fair. I honestly think that a decent number of players would opt to start fresh, knowing the timeline would be correct, and so many of the problems the server has seen would for the most part be non-issues.

I mean, it surely would do better than the current red server, where they typically have what like 5% of the active population of blue? I wonder why they even bother to use the resources to continue supporting red any longer, clearly the preference is geared towards PVE. I just checked and right now there's 746 players on blue and only 51 players on red.

I don't think there's any real way to fix a game like EQ. People hate it for the same reasons they love it. And there are always going to be people with fucked up priorities who play 18 hours/day or stay "on call" to throw numbers at digital dragons. I don't think there are any raid rules that will make people any happier. They will probably just cause new problems.

Lol, interesting troll? OP is totally right :P

Innocent is mad and very threatened in this thread its pretty hilarious /popcorn.

Short answer is that people cried alot about wanting raids and loot since the expansion timeline is much longer here than live (which leads to alot more 50+ players), so they changed the rules in unclassic ways and started GM enforcing things like raids. Sorry it happened but it's that way now because people couldn't play nice (or beat TMO).
