That's a damn lie. DSL came out shortly after.. cable modem came out 6 months after. Plus dsl and cable were only available in certain areas at that time

1997 just for DOCSIS 1.0, there were other proprietary cable modem standards even earlier than that.

I had Cable also when EQ came out. Stepfather(who brought EQ home in August of 99) worked for a cell company that got cable for all their employees that worked from home for faster connection.

I lived in Vegas when EQ was released. We had cable modem through Cox.

BTW, I stole your camp when you went LD.

I had a cable modem in late 1997- early 1998. I know it was no later than June of 1998 because I had it while a senior in high school and that's when I was done.

And yes cable was only available in certain areas - so what?

(Shit's Classic U Mad?)

how is that not the motto we all live by

how do you even play this game without wiki open? You are an adventurer traveling through foreign lands. You would naturally hire guides through locations that you don't know and scribe your own maps. Internet is not a thing in most classic lore worlds. If you wanted anything close to wiki you'd have to go to a library in game and study and scribe it yourself. If you are not an int user class you shouldn't even be able to use a map of any complexity. Every warrior should need an int class to guide them or a ranger who knows the terrain if this were a classic adventure set game like DnD come to life in 3-D MMO.

Get immersed or choose to play wow?

SO GOSH DAMN CLASSIC

[jarshale]

Pointing out other nonclassic thing will not make the devs change their minds. Sorry.

[bktroost]

Just fall deep into the rabbit hole of immersion and stop having the same #classicbutyouwon'tusedialuptoEQ or #classicbutyoudon'tuseoldUItoEQ argument because it's trite.

Tbh, most of you "that's not classic" nerds would quit if this was REALLY classic windows 98, 56k modem, no laser mouse, no flat screen monitor.. etc. Why bash my main post when the official wiki has maps with key points of interests on it.. norrath map was the same just a time saver for me.. sorry I have a family to feed and bills to pay... I don't have time to find a zone in an mmo that takes forever to level in at the same time..
