yeah i guess if you were 20 levels higher than the average player and in the top 5% of the server it wouldnt be an issue

I'm neither of those things. Nice try.

Most players don't have the time or inclination to travel across the land in the hopes that they will.. maybe.. find xp. They may not know the game inside and out like some of the people suggesting this. They don't want to deal with a long CR if something goes wrong. In a big game like EQ it's pretty reasonable to stay near the beaten path. Out of the way stuff has always been out of the way, it has a time cost associated with it, and people playing this game want to make the most of their time.

Also, using Kerra Isle as an example of an underutilized zone is absurd. People actively avoid that place, there could be 3000 people on the server and you'll be alone way over there. For XP groups Perma isn't much different, for reasons I'm sure you understand. Yes those camps are open but you'd have to be half insane to try to xp there. Even back on live people shuddered at the thought of XPing in Perma. They'd laugh in your face if you suggested Kerra Isle.

I understand these things. But these folks are still shooting themselves in the feet then begging to be given a pair of crutches. I can't not ridicule that, especially in a game we play specifically because it can be tedious and unforgiving.

This is the antithesis of what EQ is supposed to be. EQ is about exploring about accepting the danger. If you want to stay on your safe beaten path then accept that it’s going to be quite crowded. Don’t complain about it and lobby for a server split because the usual XP path is full and you have to wait a little bit to get into a group.

Right.

I won't tell people who want to sit in line for level 4 mobs they can't do that. But when they insist on doing so and then cry about it, am I gonna call them names? You betcha.

Regardless, green's splitting soon, both servers will be fun, hardcores will minmax the situation, some people will continue to complain or find new things to whine about, etc. Same shit, different number of servers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey Techmos, hows the wife and kid? I loved your chanter videos and you were the only reason I started playing a chanter, I dont play EQ more than a couple of weeks a year but I really fell in love with the class because you taught me how to play, I would have never of had the time or dedication to do it without your tutorial vids, thanks man!

Yeah it's honestly just pretty disappointing. Between Blue, Green, and Teal we'll most likely now have 3 servers where the leveling path is exactly the same and people only XP in a select few zones. Personally, I wasn't excited for Green because of legacy items or server firsts or any stuff like that; I was excited because the large number of people would mean that so many zones and camps that are never utilized are now going to have people at them...it's going to feel like the world did back during the actual classic era. Jokes on me I suppose though, because apparently people will get really mad if they can't immediately start XPing in CB, Unrest, etc. whenever they log on and refuse to go anywhere else.
