Im Zartron.

And I happily group with hybrids (including rangers).

Ooo feels better to get it out in the open [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Meh, end game geared Rangers are fantastic and it does make them worth it. You can solo pretty much anything out doors, track is fantastic, and tell me Zilo wont out dps the majority of this server.

I approve of any post that has the word 'truculent' in it and used correctly. Well-played, sir. Well-played.

I think you are missing the point Lagaidh. Why would you come back to a game you already played before? To do it better. I think almost everyone who is playing on 1999 wants to 'improve' their EQ experience in some way. I never got to raid anything on Live and I got to here. Basically casual players want to become casual raiders, casual raiders want to become hardcore raiders, and hardcore raiders don't want to repeat something they did before.

Also +1 for truculent. Next, threaten to defenestrate him!

THANK you... this is one of the things I wondered in the post where I originally wondered out loud...

And boy does that progression you talked about perfectly describe my tenure on live =)

I'm glad folks "appreciate" the use of the word truculent. I spent 50k on an education at William & Mary, a school where I had to write a term paper in even math classes (WTF!)... and I learned the word truculent from an old sports interview between Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell.

I'm paraphrasing:
*Ali said something funny and instigating to Howard*
Cosell: Well now you're just being truculent.
Ali: Whatever that is, if it's good, I'm that!

One could say that having played Live that we no longer wish to be gregarious, but rather are adapting to play egregiously.

lol this thread is getting pungent!

But as for me, coming back I just wanted to do it again, hang around with folks and do the ranger thing. I've raided and done all that before, I've been casual before. I just like hanging out in EQ I guess. My time online is pretty limited though, so maybe I'd feel differently if it weren't.
