The time spent in various zones tracking does become tedious but it comes full circle when i'm able to actually go out there and help some random person for a few hours and make their day which in turn gives me a desire/want to actually play this game.
I respect that

But...

Do you ever ask yourself "What's the point?" "Why am I doing this?"

Sometimes I do but really once something pops and everyone is gathered together I have a pretty good time and it seems everyone shares the same fun. I guess I just want to help people relive and experience content that they didn't do/haven't done in a long time, new people pop up all the time so there is somewhat of a freshness in an otherwise pretty repetitive situation.

Wow, just wow... I mean how stupid can one human being possibly get?

Well there you have it, the ONLY thing you have left to do on project 1999 is repeadetly killing the same bosses over and over, crushing anyone's slim hope of reliving that experience again.

You could of course also play 18 hours a day and join IB.

I would however rather cook Dabamf's underpants and drink the skidmark juices.

Well, I do hand out buffs/items/plat to people when I do make it out of these zones so I guess that's one other thing I do. While it is true that it's pretty hypocritical of me to be tracking for a single guild and blocking others from getting to experience the content as well, I just wouldn't find it productive (not that playing EverQuest is) to be tracking for everyone.

PS: my offer for the powerleveling still stands, i'm pretty good at it.

If you don't enjoy repetition, MMOs are probably not a good game choice. Most games and sports are extremely repetitive. If everything in the game is new to you, you are... a newb. Is it genuinely difficult to understand the pleasure that comes from developing skills and strategies and then executing them well?

There is also, of course, loot. Advancing in this game requires developing your character and once a character has reached maximum level with all the accompanying spells and abilities the only advancement is through equipment. I can think of four items currently in the game that would advance my main character. They all drop from gods and dragons.

I frequently see the argument stated that all gear will be replaced in Kunark. This is a very complex game. Many people think they know a lot about this game when they really know a little bit about this game. People who think all planar gear will be replaced in Kunark are simply wrong. Only time will tell which players will stick around, but some of us are raiding for gear that we will use for many months to come. We're getting ready to tank Phara Dar and heal on the AoW fight. That requires some preparation and, yes, repetition.

I realize that everyone has his own perspective and that it might seem like IB spends all of our time trying to ruin your fun, but we really don't even know who you are. We're just playing EverQuest. There are only two dragons and two gods in this game currently and they spawn once a week. If IB disappeared today, there would still be far fewer gods and dragons than everyone wants to kill. If IB, Divinity, Dark Ascension, Remedy and Transcendence all disappeared today, disputes over these same targets would continue with different characters and guild names.

Actually for the most Part the folks in IB I deal with are great. They will help and like everyone else get annoyed at incompetence. Granted content is stagnant now and what choice do they have except cycle through the raid targets. The big question is when new content comes open do they higher guild move on and let the guild coming up work the old content. Personally I think IB would. Some guilds will not.

It's a legitimate question. It all depends on if their are people in the guild still requiring raid gear. Most guilds have not had dozens of chances at Inny or CT yet so obviously they will still be targeting these mobs when ever they get a chance.

And Vox/Naggy will be heavily watched during that short window of time before the level caps are put into place after Kunark is released.

What skills and strategies? It was all done 10 years ago when the only other option was Pacman: The mmorpg.

Everquest isn't a very complex game, you just need alot of players online. Heal tank, debuff, feed clerics and ZERG.

Yes it was fun playing Everquest again, congratulations you won project 1999. You got the first kills, you got the all the hot loot, but seriously dude man jesus cmon???

SLOW DOWN CHUBBIES, WE'RE NOT IN KUNARK YET
