I'd really like to like it, but as has been said, it's in no way a classic experience. The new UI is awful IMO as well, though I know you can mod it. But you can't get the old Velious UI feel, or even very close to it. It requires setting everything up all over again, for an experience that is profoundly different to the one you are trying to recapture.

It's good they have done it, but p1999 is by far the better "return" experience. I'd be more likely to return to my 85 Bard on live than restart on the progression server with all the fundamental changes to the game that they can't wind back.

Fippy is the only reason I'm here... and I ain't touching that non-classic server with a 10 foot pole! I was stunned at how NON-classic it was. You can just aggro mobs and run from them... and they won't hit you. Spawn with items after death... what a joke!!

Do they have the mercenary henchmen on that server? I quit the live servers a long time ago so I was gone long before they put in henchmen but in my mind that would completely ruin the EQ experience. When I read that they did that, to me it sounded like they had finally given up entirely and EQ had truly jumped the shark.

I don't think mercs are on the server, however I think on a server where boxing is allowed mercs are no different as both go around the mechanic or general philosophy of a single player controlling a single character in a mmorpg.

When I was playing on live EQ I actually enjoyed the merc as I have never boxed, as it let me level up classes I normally would never attempt to level up solo (such as a rogue).

The problem with live EQ currently is that 1 - 80 is a complete ghost town so someone coming back to the game after a hiatus is completely out of luck as far as leveling a non-necro/mage goes.

Man, do people still play on the live servers? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Their idea of classic is nothing like real classic, so I'm kind of surprised they are seeing success with them.

Devamped classic zones, bogus drops, bogus mobs, in-game maps, compass, nerfed death penalties, ability to run away from mobs, overpowered spells, shared bank slots, etc. etc. etc. Sounds about as fun as watching the paint dry.

It isn't intended to be classic. It is intended to be progression.

This server will blow until about PoP era when it will become decentish.

What's the fucking point of "progression" when you're vastly more overpowered for the current content of where you are supposed to be in progression?
