Why do people prefer Live over classic?

Seriously... if you don't like them turn them off? Wow how hard is that.

Ikr.

Dudes on this server still like to cling to their high school football silver-medal trophies.
If only they went to State... life'd be different.

Sorry this is just a hilarious thread.

Here’s a hypothetical: IF you still play live in 2020 and are looking at luclin character models, THEN you’re a fucking moron and really aren’t playing live.

Nobody looks at that shit, there’s way cooler ways to look now.

Do you mind sharing these? I tried to look around online but didn't come up with much. Thanks!

Because life progressed. The things that make p99 impossible for most people were (almost immediately) resolved by early expansions. Live is just a better game with more interesting mechanics than exploiting pathing and 2-Dimensional player involvement.

Too much to go into here, but here’s one thing that will always shit on “Classic”: there’s no perks or rewards for doing hard shit on p99, except having an epic weapon that has been bottlenecked and MQd by people who have to deal with their own bottleneck and pay for an MQ themselves. Live even went so far as having Evolving Gear, which you unlock through things like “Visiting every zone in Norrath” or “doing all the quests and missions in certain list of expansions,” or “killing every named mob in a list of expansions.”

In short, if you play the game, you are rewarded with better shit than 3am batphones and man children crying about FTE. And, it’s just patently more fun.

guess EQ live is locked out for poor people

Live has far more content. It doesn't take long to experience every zone on P99 at which point you either quit or just farm the same stuff over and over in search of a long lost feeling.

Live is a very flawed and bloated game though, but at least it lets your explore more of Norrath.

Pay to win is definitely not real? My SK is a nearly BiS savage and I don’t even pay my subscription because I make enough plat to cover his account for a whole year? Idk what y’all are smoking.

With how much you nerds spend on this game in time and lost RL revenue, you’re paying way more to play.
