Seriously, who gives a flying F about legacy items? Or for that matter maxing out that fast on Green, woohoo lets grief noobs while level 50 while we wait for Kunark to release in six or nine or twelve months

You input is extremely valuable. Thanks you whore.

There's a good chance you wouldn't have gotten it even with a June date. I guess it just goes to show you not to place your hopes on unsure things.

Hello Yaboby, I can understand your frustration about the change of dates and hopes of people for legacy items. Couple friends of mine got hit by the same thing. One was lvl 30 with his paladin, getting close.
What level is your warrior? It is probably not too late to roll a dark elf warrior. If that was your dream you should really do it. (unless your dream was about having a mask on a warrior.)
I'm a big fan of the more rare race/class combos. If played well this offsets most racial disadvantages you may have. Exception maybe if you plan to be the raid main tank. But who really has the time to commit to that?
And let's face it, the real deal is always being a dark elf. With the mask you're an ogre whenever you're dead, whenever you zone and every 20 minutes if you don't renew in time.
I'm not sure what your goal is. But if it's being a dark elf warrior I say go for it. It's about enjoying your time in the game.
You have friends and family playing with you? That's really great! So many people just play on their own.
Best of luck to you, Yacoby!

Go Dark Elf...

or Iksar...

You can also roll another class that doesn't need legacy items in the same way, like Enchanter or other casters.

Good luck!

Wait for Kunark and roll an Iksar something. You won't have to regret not having a Guise as Iksars can't have a Guise (other than through a GM event).

You won't have to regret not having Jboots as you will be able to quest the very same Jboots.

You won't have to regret not having a Rubi BP as it will become mule fashion and you will be able to purchase one easily.

You won't have to regret not having a Manastone as you will be able to purchase one, if you really want to.

Alternatively, roll a DE something now.

Looks like one of the rewards was 4 guises:

This is a net positive because now your warrior looks much cooler than he would have with the guise.

edit: Unless you were a gnome or something.

While reading all your replies and getting some insight into the server and their reasons for inaccurate date estimations, rather I agree with it or not, I realize they have a purpose and I am sure do not solely exist to crush the hopes and dreams of the niche group of people who still have a love affair with this 21 year old game.

Its pretty human when I feel stressed to reach out to strangers since I was raised on the internet. I know anytime you post anything publicly you are going to have some small percentage of memeing going on, but usually someone has something insightful and possibly impactful to say.

At this point, after discussion with friends and family, I have decided I still love the game and the possibility of me not ever having a mask on my warrior is one I will have to deal with. I cannot let a cosmetic item control whether or not I get to enjoy the game Brad McQuaid intended us to, even though that is easier said than done in my personal case.

My only hope going forward is that the powers that be possibly consider doing seasonal GM events where at least a handful of people can at least get excited about the possibility of being in the right place at the right time and getting blessed with an EQ treasure. I kind of equate it to that Dumb and Dumber scene when Lloyd was told his chances were one in a million, but instead of getting discouraged he said "So you're saying there's a chance?" Lol, you would be surprised how much the way you perceive things mentally can effect your ability to cope with certain circumstances.

If it has been a long time since there has been a GM event, maybe there are reasons. After all, this is a free to play server so for there to be more GM interaction, they have to have at least some sort of motivation to want to reward us without breaking the server rules.

In my opinion, there has to possibly be some way for the players to make it more appealing or worth the time of the admins to want to log in and interact with the player base and give away prizes.

I have to remind myself that I cannot 100% blame the incorrect wiki date estimations for me not having a mask. I didn't hear about Green because I didn't visit the forums or google Everquest for a very long time and I ended up getting super unlucky because of that.

Thanks for the kind messages guys. It helps more than you know.

Yes, totally and allow me.

Your priorities are out of whack. Your bucket list is a dream warrior with a guise and now you're depressed where you feel like a total failure and you're posting in a public forum known for venomous snakes like me who run amok until some genteel soul with a very homoerotic avatar calls them a whore? And you feel it's worth it to read pages of triggering garbage in the hopes of finding some insightful advice? I mean yeah congratulations you made it in this case but c'mon.

I would suggest to you that maybe as someone that is susceptible to depression you're not fit to make very specific yet trivial goals. For important life events, yeah I mean you have to. But for things that aren't life and death, I think your goals should be more broad, like "I'm going to trio with my friends and we'll level together and have some fun." Because that's an easy win. But when you fail to get that one specific thing you fixate on, that can be bad for you and it doesn't even mean anything for real. It's just some trivial shit but if you make it your quest and you fail you might find yourself not strong enough to deal. Take Scarface for example. Now here is a guy with a simple plan. "You get the money, you get the power, then when you get the power then you get the woman." He's not hung up on a specific dollar amount, he's not like and she's gotta be a hot Asian chick with big breasts and a guise. No, he's keeping it simple. Why? Because he's got a complicated life and he doesn't need distractions on the road to success. Remember Scarface failed because he stopped following his simple formula for success and made things real complicated with the Colombians. You can learn a lot from Scarface, when I explain it.

Now having changed your life and set you straight (You're welcome!) I would point out to you that we have a specific section for narcissistic depressives who cry in pixels ("The Rants") and are then given encouragement by the wise ("The Flames").
