That moment when you decided to quit EQ live

[HallyVee]

Never did quit, just one day I was no longer able to play on my friend's account.

Played Halo and some Playstation games, then got into WoW. Think I forgot about EQ, actually. Didn't realize I needed it until I realized how bad WoW sucked (which was in WotLK).

WoW catered to today's give it to me now crowd and had no challenge to it what-so-ever. That is why it was so hugely popular. I find it funny the number of people here that cry about things in P99 that were not classic or that were the reasons they left EQ but claim WoW was great when it provided the same convenience and lack of challenge from the very beginning that they are crying about.

Lump in the cartoony graphics and it was a silly game.

Started taking over my life plus when I saw Mercenaries being able to be hugged that told me it wasn't the same game I loved. Plus all the boxing. I played with a bunch of people yesterday at CE in mistmoore last night and had one of the best times not just because I didn't kill everyone like normal, but because everyone was talking, laughing and friendly. When one person is half the group and there isn't anyone to talk to it's no fun anymore. Just becomes dull and boring and makes you want to fall asleep.

For me it was just a few months before PoP. Did not buy SoL because I had no need: classic offered so much content that the game didn't need more mid-level content.

AAs offered something a ill' different to customise characters, although this was the beginning of old world mobs becoming trivial to Mana-burning Wizards. I didn't like loot trivialisation because a lot of SoL vendor trash made a lot of old world loot simply trash.

I also didn't like the desolation of EC (although I understand the appeal of the bazaar), and hated Spires for fast travel. A large swathe of random encounters disappeared with fast travel.

I did like the UI and global and private chat channels.

I disliked SoL because I joined April 2001, and had just over 6 months of classic. I also had to upgrade my Banshee Voodoo 2 video card! At least many years later, I have a second chance to do all of the things that I didn't do 2nd time around.

Do they still use luclin models on live?

For me it was mercs and everyone having to start in Serpent Spine city.

I took breaks on and off for years but my final straw was I came back and spent about a month getting my three accounts 6k aas and hitting level 90. I was going to start doing current content and then they made it so you could buy a level 85 heroic character with 8k aas from the sony store. I quit for good after that and started focusing on p99 and have now quit p99 till velious comes out. I have a 32 rogue waiting to level up in velious.
