Here's the real problem

[kaizersoze]

Maybe instead of going to the same zones people have always gone to, they need to go to zones like Splitpaw. And actually adventure. There are plenty of zones out there if you move to them.

Where's that guy with the signature along the lines of "Anyone with less playtime than me is a casual who can't be bothered to work for in game-gains, anyone with more playtime than me is a hardcore loser neckbeard"?

It really is just a matter of enjoying what you can find available until the population starts to decline a bit in the months preceding Kunark. I do agree with OP regarding it being quite crowded right now.

But this is basically the same thing experienced 20 years ago more or less: Available time vs. available content. Yeah the hardcore players will always have more plat and more gear. Does the time required to acquire all of the pixels generally healthy? Well, no.

Call it pay to play, but you pay with your health and sanity. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I’d say as far as forum threads go, this has had some of the most remarkably civil and rational responses as they come.

Everquest wasn’t really ever designed with the absolute casual player in mind. I’ve played ESO, WoW, and a handful of others, and none of them have required the time commitment that EQ does. This is a game you just can’t log in and expect things to start happening for you immediately; there’s no group-finder, no quest hubs, and generally long distances to travel to even get to content. And as low as all that is on the quality-of-life meter, that’s also its charm. This world lives and breathes regardless if your online or not, so it’s unrealistic to expect people to change their behavior just because you want something. The main problem you’re faced with here is timing. There just isn’t enough for those high level characters to do in classic, so sadly areas that are meant for lower levels will get infringed upon.

I get it. I hate going to Crushbone and having a lvl 50 camping the entire throne room for belts and pads when I could be in there with 5 other people getting experience. It sucks. But unless the devs speed up the expac release schedule (unlikely), it isn’t likely to change, and in fact will probably just get worse in the 6 months we have left to go. There aren’t enough admins to try and enforce any type of camp time limit, nor would they since it’s not classic. I don’t know if you played EQ back in 1999 era, but this is much like it was then. Only difference I see is that more people now know about all the great cash camps and ZEM’s, so have crowded those areas to the limit. As has been said, I think just try and enjoy the journey. If you find you’re not, the TLP’s might be more your style (I played on Mangler for quite a while and enjoyed it).

All I hear about you is you moaning, Silverfalcon.

[Kaedain]

all of these posts and threads about the servers are hilarious, everything needs to be perfectly balanced for people to be happy.. not going to happen.

theres to many people on the server one day, not enough people the next, everyone needs to have max out lvl and items one day, everyone has the same items and nothing to achieve the next day, come on people

play the game however you like and deal with it

If that was the case then people would just train the campers....but somehow that's agains the rules. So don't go with the play the game how you like bit because it's not like old EQ at all. There's the play nice rules in place to prevent it from being like old EQ. Which is what the whole issue is. There are double standards being applied here. You're saying that the people who camp all day should be allowed to do whatever they want and the people who can't...just deal with it. Personally I'd just put togther a massive train and remove the camper that has been there 8-12 hours in the same camp. Enchanters always made the best trainers...AoE stun and mezz then walk up to the camper and wait for the train. But that is agains the rules....
