Why does anyone post on a twenty-plus year old elf sim forum?

Fair enough.

So to answer your question, no: it truly does not bother me that the staff is working hard to re-create classic EQ here. Why should I care that this place went from 98% classic mechanics to 97.5% ... when it feels more classic overall, and it was never 100% in the first place?

Does that mean I <3 every exploit fix? Of course not: as I said, the SG glitch nerf has felt wrong to me ever since Velious was released, and I suspect it will always feel wrong. If we're going to let people bind in TD, I personally feel there should be a period of time where you can glitch through SG on Green.

But would I rather have a server where the straff prioritizes classic mechanics over everything else? God no! That's how we got single bards monopolizing Overthere, and AoE groups monopolizing Chardok, two things that no one alive remembers on live servers in 1999-2001 ... because it never happened.

I want the game from '99-'01 ... don't you?

Is this double think?

is that you John Wayne, is this me?
