I really love how all the Classic crap is thrown around. Sony started a new game years ago called EQ. After a few months they figured out it had flaws people didin't like. Nobobdy is perfect so they had patches that fixed a lot of the flaws. And then they had expansions that added new content and fixed even more flaws, etc.

So a lot of people on here just want to have every flaw that was ever in the original release. Well fine for you. Well I don't want it like 4 expansions later was, but somethings were just stupid they did at the start. I won't get into them, but true Classic sucks at a lot of things.

I am very glad for this server and all the work the Drevs have done. But this is not 1999 anymore with a bunch of teens in their parents basement, with all the time in the world, to Poopsock anymore. Most people on here now have real lives so things have changed and so should some of the original flaws this game had and still has.

My 2 cents worth.

This is like walking into an Italian restaurant and complaining about the pasta dishes n tomato dishes. There are heaps of other emu servers for people with real lives.

Aye. As much as I agree that at least half of the "Vision" was wrong, I also agree that if purpose of THIS server to be "classic", its pretty pointless to criticize it for trying to be classic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can criticizes "the Vision", but I would not expect Devs to start altering the server to "fix it".
There are plenty of other servers out there, each of which tries to deliver its own vision.

It is also really not that hard to start your own server to show the world YOUR version of the Vision - a bare minimum of technical skills is required.
It only takes times and dedication. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Halfway between 3 and 4.

Quality of life changes are definately a good thing. Yes, we are all oldtimers here (as the gaming industry is concerned) and can deal with clunky interfaces. But it's 2012 now, and it's nice to not have to. Gameplay changes would be good as well, as long as they are minor and consistent with the original experience. XP penalties, minor aspects of class balance (like archery sucking), lack of high-end money sinks, things that would create an overall superior experience without altering the core of the game in any way.

And to those who respond, "go play on other emu servers lazy wtfxzors", classic even with it's flaws is better then what's available elsewhere. Classic with less flaws would be even better though.

people may not agree with individual decisions.


but i think its been said before


If you don't agree with the vision of the server you probably shouldn't be playing on it.


There are dozens of other eq emu's out there.

Just gotta accept then that not everything will be to your specific vision of how classic should be.


Only way to have your entire list implemented is to start your own emu heh

Fuck it. I have the answer. This is the only thing that will shut everyone up and let this thread die.

It's the only way.

Go back in time. Hang out with your nostalgia self. Fap to the same porn together.
