The 10 year old game statement is being taken too literally. Ya the game is 10 years old and that does not matter much. It is more like the content has been beaten, posted on, strats refined, etc. It's not all that much of an accomplishment to take out content that everyone knows about. The only thing is you got there first. You didn't wipe 100s of times figuring out a strategy. Only to finally do it and have the contet nerfed 2 weeks later.

Take sky for example. Everyone knows the path through sky. The secrets
have been posted all over the net it even has numerous dedicated sites to it's story, strategies, etc. Getting from isle 1 to 8 isn't as magical as it once was. Getting to sister isle alone was quite the mystery. Wiping over and over and over again on bee island because you didn't know WTF was happening (first time mobs split). Now it is regurgitated content. Anyone who wants to know how to get through sky just has to type "plane of sky" into their favorite search engine. You can apply this logic to EQ as a whole. That is why the "why so serious over an 10 year old game" statement will never die.

P99 is great to play but when anyone gloats about it... It's about as much of an accomplishment now as figuring out the clues in atari's Swordquest tomorrow.
