Well for me that $30 40 slot 100% bag kinda pisses me off. I'm not in the business of paying for advantages or playing with people who pay for advantages. I can maybe stomach pay-to-not-grind but outright buying advantageous items, nah. And that's purely on principle, not the value of $30 vs. my time

Always respected WoW for that being the one shark they never jumped.

Yea. I'm buying the bag don't get me wrong. But I'm not happy about the highly successful money grab they pulled off here. As long as they don't try to continue to do it too often I can live with it.

Sorry you lost.
Everyone around here is used to having a free service. Apparently mmorpg creation and maintenance became free in 2017.

Who the fuck cares how classic it is or if it has instance raids. Nobody will force you to play there.

P99ers taking shots at progression servers are starting to sound alot like Trump supporters.....

If you think what essentially amounts to a holding corporation purchasing a brand and then attempting wring as much profit out of it as possible is the same as a gaming company "running a business", you have a lot to learn about both gaming and business.

I mean I shouldn't have to explain to you the difference between EA and Taleworlds

I don't know how accessible good WR bags are in modern EQ, or even whether there's still encumbrance, so I can't gauge how impactful these items are. But like I said, it's the principle. You are paying RL money for an in-game advantage, which might be a huge quality of life thing, depending on how hard WR bags are to get. It may not make your character more powerful in combat but it's still a significant advancement.

i get what your sayin,

obviously a money grab and it works, like alot of people we all bought it. 15 bucks isnt a ton of money but if 800 people buy it.

The server is instanced, how does somebody supporting the server and gaining a weight reduction bag impact you in any way? They will be in a completely different instance than you. Raid mobs will die within hours of each expansion launching. Zlandicar will be 3-manned. Thats the nature of prog servers. It means nothing if somebody else pays for an advantage.

Anyone know if Agnarr will resolve the P99 thing of players skipping all over the fucking place? If I'm following someone is it easy to see where they're going rather than dipping in and out of view and fuckin teleporting? Or is that forever EQ spaghetti code?
