People that never played classic EQ

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

I started on Tallon Zek the day the game came out and quit during Luclin. Just as I quit WoW during Burning Crusade...I cant stand expansions that take place on a "moon" it totally kills the sandbox experience in my opinion.

TL;DR

Eliseus: I'm really sarcastic and very, very good at video games. For this reason, EQ is not hard. If you think EQ is hard, it is because you are not good at video games (like I was when I was 10). Did I mention I'm really good at video games. Everyone who plays P99; you sit on a throne of lies.

forensic: I am unreasonably upset by Eliseus' parade. I make some good points that EQ is a hard game, but by engaging in a clearly ridiculous argument actually downgrade my own standing.

me: I wish EQ Classic/P99 would give me my soul back, I was kind of using it. It has an incredible amount of depth for a video game, as has been pointed out many times.

I'm not actually upset, I just think vigorous forum trolling is part of the EQ classic experience. It makes me nostalgic when the MMO cool kids tell me I'm lame and that I have no "standing"

eq classic forums had 4 types of people:
1. Trolls who say wrong stuff that is provocative (that guy)
2. Trolls who are right who share brilliant insights in a hostile manner (me)
3. Cool kids who kibitz from the sidelines, judging the trolls and instigating further debate
4. Carebears who want everyone to cut the hostility, completely failing to understand why people go on forums in the first place (to be dicks)

The way I look it at, just starting out, your naked, with a shitty weapon usually starting in a zone with little monsters that can 3 hit kill you. There you are.. No game is as harsh as that these days.

Hi there, what brought me to EQ was a genuine interest since I was a kid. EQ always seemed like such a vast, fun world. I'm really glad p99 is a thing since I never got to experience it in its heyday. If anyone would wanna play with me (i'm a lowbie, started today basically) I'm a Monk by the name of Gutra!
