I can't speak for other servers but my memory of early days on The Rathe there were at least 3-4 guilds getting shit consistently

Lucky you. I remember walking through places like West Temple of Veeshan and Yelinak's lair in Skyshrine and seeing every named mob up because the guild that could kill the nameds hadn't gotten around to it yet. Those were certainly the days.

Speaks volumes to where EQ Live was headed when the interest level in progression servers tamper off when they get past planes of power. If fact, they have to keep releasing progression servers to keep the hype going as people re-live the early expansions over and over again.

Its much like the Thomas and friends franchise. The most successful episodes are reboots of old stories (Henry sitting in a tunnel so he wont get wet, Gordon's revenge on Thomas for being called 'lazy bones or even Jame's wooden brakes).

I think most people agree that PoP was the peak of EQ. There was a ton of stuff to do for everyone and the classes were well balanced. Anything past that is basically WoW anyway.

Not the devs who created this cesspool

Well listening to Sirken and Breaken and Detoxx on the stream is pretty painful. Sirken's completely clueless as to the mechanics and Breaken and Detoxx are advocating to keep the status quo of thousands of man hours weekly. Phinny's looking mighty sexy.

The only thing I said was that I don't agree with limiting FTErs...

I don't really have a dog in this fight anymore, but I'm so confused as to why you wouldn't agree to like a 7 person limit. It's plenty to make it to anywhere in TOV, and it's more than enough for Kael. You're just so caught up in this "I don't wanna limit people from having fun" bs argument that you're failing to see the benefits for everyone in limiting FTE per side. Nobody wants to show up somewhere and see 30 people from another guild, that's just retarded.

Yea cause 20 FTE racers per guild makes total sense

At this point it's not even Everquest.

Let's be honest, this server hasn't been EQ in a very long time. A lot of us just went along with it because it was different, and at some times could be very fun. I really enjoyed VP races. I really enjoyed Kael races at first, but they're just not the same. You had to deal with 2drake and random see invis shit in VP..Kael is just a "who got off the line first and doesn't fuck up" race outside of low level statue aggro, bow procs, and that other sort of nonsense.

The problem is the guys running this server are talking to the dozen guys that find this fun. Everyone thinks its retarded except a handful of people that worked really hard to beat the system as it currently exists.

Don't get me wrong. Racing can be fun. It's just nothing to make a career out of. It also seems to me, arbitrary. Why not do a god damn math test to decide who gets the mob? Or maybe we should all just wip it out and measure our combined penis sizes, and the most inches gets to fight the dragon.

The only thing that seems like real, playable eq to me, is rotation. The EQ that is left after all these years of abuse the server went through.
