Reiker's top 4 "lol Progression" moments: 4) Craftable range weapons in Kunark with Vulak Aerr-ish stat bonuses. 3) New style alchemy pots allowing me to solo just about anything including Lodizal during Velious. 2) Jailer event in Dreadlands: Spawn as many lower PoP tier bosses as you want for PoTime quality loot! 1) Killing revamped Innoruuk in Luclin for Req 65 Rec 70 loot. | |||

What they need to do is make EQ live into only the classic version, with most or all of the new crappy models thrown out. Then, they need to have it so it progresses so that maybe Kunark comes out a year down the road or so, and then eventually Velious, but it should stop there. Then, they need to fire all their crud-on-my-service and get some customer service, and GM's that are real people who care about the community and simply do their best just to make it tip-top. Last but not least, they should make it free, without the ability to purchase in-game advantages with out-of-game favors.
Oh wait... | ||

Even if you could fix all of hte bugs and make it 100% classic, you can't erase peoples memories. For example, it took me 13 days /played to get level 13 in 1999. It takes me just a day or two /played to get that now. Why? Because I know where to go and what to do. I know the zones I'm in by memory. I'm playing a ranger and intentionally killing myself and re-rolling because I level so fast. It's because of what I know. Sure, I learn new things sometimes. I like that, but most of what I see is what I've seen before. There're people in their 20's and 30's that I saw not too long ago at level 7. People level up fairly quickly on this server. I should know because none of my alts are greater than 15. People know exactly where to camp items. They know exactly where to go to get experience. This accelerates everything. The economy is filled with examples of this. You can't stop it. There can never be a 100% classic experience unless it's a new game.

Xantarr-- "Then, they need to fire all their crud-on-my-service and get some customer service"
X customer service was always working... they just could not make decisions without GM oversight. Had this prob a few times myself. I will never, ever go back to SONY EQ. SONY EQ is not the same game as what was started in 99. The ONLY thing SONY EQ is concerned about is getting your credit card numbers. Why do u think the pricing is so high on everything>? Every single thing requires boatloads of plat. And farming plat? gone.... I could go on and on about how SONY EQ has ruined the game... but so could we all.

Oh, and about the new server: if it's not time-locked progression, then what's the point? Classic (including up to Velious) will be over within 3 months. I probably wouldn't even be 50 by then.

Anyway, higher prices do not mean higher profits. It's incorrect to assume that a company charges higher prices because they're greedy. Nearly all corporations seek to maximize profits in some respect or another - sometimes by lowering prices. It's just that Sony EQ failed to capitalize on these potential profits, not because of greed, but because they were apparently unaware of what it was their customers really wanted. That's just my 2 cents :] | ||||

they will never have classic eq like we have it here on emu cause they would need a separate patcher and this will NEVER happen.

SOE lost alot of intergrity over the years, mainly by going back on things they said they would never do. The fact that you can uber-ize your character with real money is just...well, it killed the game in my eyes. Velious is when I started playing, quitting after GoD and the random letter names of mobs (like someone threw a bunch of scrabble letters onto a table and the first 5 they picked up became the next mob's name). Met my husband on the first attempt they made at a progression server. It would be interesting to see what their idea for this "new" server will be...and how much interest they can really re-gain after all this time.
