Maybe I'm just too picky and wanted to see PoP again as it was when it was originally released. Someone said they made 80+ AAs in a session the other day.

Well everyone I knew must have sucked because AAs took WAY longer than that to grind out.

Its EQ Lite, I don't really see the nostalgia with so much that's different to the original release.

We just know too much stuff about the game that it's easy to get AA's. Imagine that they added luclin to p99 without nerfing AEs . You know for a fact people would be AEing some zone getting 80+ AA's selling spots like it's chardok all over again. That's just how some people play the game to have fun.

Don't mind Swish he's just braindead. I wish I could ignore the quotes when people quote his posts. I can't speak for all live servers cause I know a lot of them were very different. But I can tell you I never ever ever saw people pulling entire zones to 1 spot with chanters doing AE stun rotations and AoEing everything on live EQ. People are just plain better and know WAY more about the game now than they did back then. There weren't any obstacles in the way of people doing chardok or the deep AE groups on live. The idea simply just didn't cross peoples minds or if it did they just couldn't execute it properly. Also it seems to me that people were much less interested in min/maxing back in those days. Maybe a few people figured it out and were doing it in classic but it absolutely wasn't common knowledge like it is today.

Fennin Ro must have been ahead of the curve in that regard. I'd regularly get invited to AE xp groups on my enchanter during luclin and pop era. Outside KC on the flat area, scarlet desert and fungus Grove were all really popular spots.

Nostalgia is overrated. The new game is BETTER than it was when I played back in the day, in my opinion. The server is very successful. If you like to play EQ, and you were willing to give it a chance for two weeks, I'd bet the house that you would like it.

This message is hidden because Swish is on your ignore list.

I can also poopsock kunark dragons for 5 years, 16 hour windows, on a toxic top-heavy server that allowed platinum account sales for years. Of course there's been no GM corruption on this server, right?

Exp potions are OK with me.

Getting 80 in one weekend is how AE methods work.

On the Al'Kabor server I got a wizard around 150 AAs in probably only 15 hours of play time. This wasn't using any exploits like pit warring or even Shakerpaging. Just good old PBAE nukes on large trains in PoFire.

It's even easier at level 60 in the Deep right now because stuns work. Though one big difference on Phinigel is the access to Destructive Fury AAs that changes the damage on critical nukes from 200% to 300% increase. It sort of balances out casters against melee after all the melee changes that have occurred over the years on live but it certainly makes AE groups on Phinny much easier.

only 15 hours of play time.

So AoE for 80 AAs during double EXP is not OK, but paying to AFK EXP in Chardok on p99 is legit, got it!

Or just don't min/max AAs and enjoy the game at your own pace. I'm at like 240 AAs but the last 40 have just been from raid XP. Raiding on a schedule is great.
