Luclin was classic, PoP was not.

Some of the most fun I had in EQ was in bazaar arena and dueling in EC. Nobody ever duels in EC here tho. Was a constant thing to have a bunch of people dueling near shady on Emarr.

I think we also have to remember that most players in classic were age 10-25, where most players on p99 are 25-40. Maybe we don't find the same things fun, even within the same game, that we play for nostalgia. We can recreate a game from 1999, but we can't go back to 1999 folks.

I am a bit older and what you say is true. Nothing will bring back the same feeling, but hey! We try haha [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EQ has been like this force of mental calm for me.

I have been going on and off to Live every few years, but I always get bored due to the way Live is now.

I tried one TLP and it was fun, but progression is what kills it for me, and a lot of others, as you see pop decline the more xpacs that are unlocked.

If they leave the server as it is for 10 more years I will be happy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was pretty spot on for me -- except that I played live on Tunare and we were one of the weird Gfey instead of EC servers. So that was different here =)

The major difference is that I was 12 when I played EQ originally. Playing it as an adult was fun because I could play with a bit more intelligence.

Tell me about it! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I played when I was young, and even today , despite being in a WILDLY different setting and real life environment (Much Older, Exiled and living in a foreign country) EQ still gives me this amazing sense of calm I enjoy so much.

I would not be lying when I tell you that I some days log to be semi afk with the constant background environment noise of the game.

Currently semi afk in the Karanas listening to the rain and night sounds as I write this and do other things around the house.

I too can play differently now, chat here and there, meet new people, met a nice friendly druid last night from the US, talked about this and that, then moved to Qeynos to buff newbies at the gate with sow, just relax.

EQ is many things to many people, and the end spectrum being top heavy and hardcore raid focused is the least of my worries, heck If I make it to 60 with my self made studded leather armor pieces and the occasional nice treasure on a slot here or there I would be happy still.

And with your previous posts, yeah instancing .... Dont know man, instancing I am divided on that topic.

But your post was good, love reading other peoples experiences hehe.

Many many hugs to you man, from the Isthmus with Love [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
