I've come to fully understand and embrace the different types of players that make up this community.

P99 - Population:

~65% now-grown-up kiddies that never got to do anything big or bad back when the game was good. All grown up, spiteful, and have something to prove, thus they shit in socks to stare at the PC for a feeling of accomplishment for things that haven't mattered since roughly 2001.

~20% EverQuest burn outs. They know everything about the game and make sure you know it. They don't really obtain any sense of accomplishment from it any more yet they've pissed 12 years of their life away on it thus far, so why try learning something new?

~15% New players, casuals, etc.

Red99 - Population:

~75% now-grown-up kiddies of the red variety. These are the people that constantly got shit on whilst playing on real servers, with real players that held real PVP mentalities. Vengeance is the name of their game and it comes mainly in two flavors: Hacking and Griefing.

~20% Red EQ burn outs. They came, they saw, they conquered. Now, they spend their days daydreaming of reliving that past glory on a server that had a population better than what amounts to 100 grown men shitting and pissing in the same living space til it overflows and drowns everyone. Naively they continue on despite the previous mentioned player type.

~5% New players, casuals, etc. that don't generally last past the first week they started playing because of the first type of player, unless they learn to adapt and thus are assimilated into them.




Lets face it. One of the best aspects of PVP on live was the informal balance between PKs, anti-PKs, and neutrals. The game worked because of that system. I never understood it before when I actually played on Live, but I do now. There needs to be that check-and-balance of sorts to protect players from being shit on, having to join a vindictive guild of a bunch of other people that got shit on, just to roam around and try to shit on other people. Clearly evident when someone gets corpse camped endlessly and the entire community here jests merely because they are not on the receiving end at the time.

Not a fan of him bro, just picked an avatar. I'm glad you're swinging on my nuts though.

your mostly idiots that categorize mmos because you accept the fact that people cant think for themselves and can be labeled by a set of pre concieved actions and decisions to handle situations.

Eh, most players I've talked to outside the game use MQ or have admitted to using it in some way or another, it seems like; if not blatantly to escape dying or to /follow (melees in particular), at least to use a tracking feature.

We definitely have a group of EQ fanatics, and it won't ever be the same again where you'll find newbies and people not looking for the edge over people.

Most people will take whatever edge they can get, regardless of the consequences (which isn't just an EQ issue =p). An edge, for instance (which wasn't hacking), that I remember people taking advantage of was the constant imbalance of classes and those flavors of the month. Mages were ridiculous. Warriors in the beginning were retarded and in some ways still are, I imagine.

And whether you can prove it or not, a lot of fucking people were hacking on VZ/TZ.
