Question Regarding Further Expansions

[TheDementio]

Hmm. I didn't realize AA's weren't in the game at Velious. That kind of sucks. AA's were an idea I always loved about EQ, though I never got a character high enough on live while I played. It was something I was really looking forward to playing around with this around.

I hate the EC tunnel though. Getting to it, especially at low levels or as a newbie, is a pain. Sitting for hours trying to hawk wares that aren't rare or in high demand, instead of playing my character? Hate it. But if I want some gear, or the plat to buy my spells, I need to do just that. It may be classic, but it's time consuming in a completely no fun way. I understand some people love it; more power to you.

Please note, before someone has a problem with my opinions, that they're my personal opinions. I'm not asking, expecting, or even hoping the developers will change anything to suit me. If I find lack of AA's and trips to the EC tunnel to be too frustrating or whatever, I'll leave. This isn't my incarnation of the game.

AAs and focus items for casters were just huge.

Getting improved damage or mana conservation or whatever was really fun to do as a caster class.

PoP ports - taking the facet of finding and buying ports from other players
Bazaar - Taking the facet of finding and buying fear from other players

Also, those arguing about the balancing of certain classes, like Ranger ..I dunno, I kinda like certain classes not being balanced. It makes it easy to be a crappy Ranger, and harder to be a GOOD ranger. I rather enjoy playing a class others scorn just to hear the "Hey, he's a good <insert crappy class here>, let's invite him".

And cat's are dumb. Never trust a man with a cat.

99% of the "men" that play here have cats, see cat thread.

I don't though, never liked the idea of an animal shitting in my house

There's a lot of really quality class changes that come with Luclin that I wish we got here - I wouldn't even think of playing a wizard without familiars and focus items

Mages getting the summon able focus items was super cool too.

But I would have argued even p1999 would have been better off with the absurd hybrid xp penalties removed long before velious so shrug

.

I hate this argument. Even if you're playing a balanced class people are still gonna say "Hey, he's a good <insert class here>, let's invite him". The problem with unbalanced classes is they are bad. Say you have two people lfg and both are good at their class but one class is crap and the other class is just all around better. You are gonna pick the better class everytime.

Yes and this is a huge hallmark of classic eq. You know, that game we are all here for.

I find that as the game progressed, to a point, it further defined the classes, rather than just made them balanced. Which I felt was a good thing.

For me the only reason I'm here is because other servers have boxing. If I could play on a PoP server without boxing and had the population of p99 I would. But I haven't found a server like this and so I'm here.
