EQ isnt trivialized because you can buy a decent (bad) wep in ec for 100 plat.

EQ is trivialized because of the wiki and sites like ZAM

That kind of info just wasn't readily available when this game came out. Manual was mostly wrong and not much help, and websites about eq were mostly bad maps that you had to print out.

This game is completely figured out now, we have all the info, we know all the best strats, you aren't going to recreate that time of not knowing a freaking thing and loving the adventure of the game unless you erase your memory and never look stuff up online.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Somewhat true, however word of mouth from guildies/friends, online discussion forums, and of course Allakhazam were all used.

IMO the only thing thats changed is people have figured out perfect min/max numbers and how to do things at 110% efficiency.

LOL at EC fat cats thinking that reselling is the way to make money.

Start a raid guild, bank high end loots, merge guild, sell off legacy bank, profit.

That's ethically wrong. Reselling is the art of angels.

ALS has a sliding level req on certain items, I do declare.

God bless Rainik and Valeria and all who have guided that very special guild to its success

(my own assassination of the former evil mayor included)

ALS rules forbid this. That doesn't really have much to do with the word "twinking" but I mean.... just go read the rules man. Instead of posting lots of angry replies.

Also, yeah, in 2001 allakazam was already a popular website. Thing is though that when velious first dropped of course allakazam was very detailed on all of classic+kunark-vp. It wasn't quite as fully filled out as today. Furthermore everquest dominated a computer's resources, WINEQ was either not popular or didn't exist. Some people would have two computers not only so they could "box" but so they could read allakazam or chat programs. Back in 2001 we had an officer in our guild nicknamed hischaractersname-alizer because he had memorized most of allakazam (from the prior expansion). But yeah when velious first came out, and also when kunark first came out guilds would wipe a dozen times due to lack of information. A year after those expansions came out though, doing kunark in 2001 or velious in 2002 players had just as good of a wiki as we do today, basically.

Low end twinky items are cheap.

High end items are more expensive.

Luckily I don't care about any high end items (because they are over camped and too expensive), so I only get the benefit of free/cheap items for new characters I create.

I have the most fun from 1-40 anyway.
