The Best

- Not freemium or free-to-play

- There are no mercs

- There are no Kronos

- There are no Luclin models.

- P99 is stuck in a moment of time forever

- It's not easy if you do it legit.

- No sci-fi aspect, ever.

- No Beastlords, ever.

- Humans are blind, dumb, weak and have no racials to speak of

- With some classes the monumental stuggle has no endgame reward other than kudos from other players.

- You can't just turn up and kill a raid mob

The Terrible

- It's free

- It runs on a 12 year old laptop

Conclusion:

Live is one extreme and P99 is the other and it's somewhere in between where I want to be but Verant has got (or should have) absolute authority on the subject being the original developer so I'm out of luck until they do it because I prefer official OR something comes along that's better than EQ, P99 and WoW, which I can't imagine, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or won't exist. Something which doesn't have so many fuckups and nerfs and isn't just about making money and you're not punished for being heroic and rewarded for perpetual self harming.

EveQuest 3?

The #1 thing I agree with you the strongest is the PnP policy. The toxicity and exploiting how it is written has made it too much LawyerQuest vs using common sense and instead of relieving pressure from the GMs it puts them in an awkward place to follow this nonsense

- There are bazaar characters in EC spamming and ripping people off that's why they take a while to answer when you send them a tell; real players answer right away and have reasonable prices.

If you're selling items at market value, it's likely going to take a while to find a buyer. So you send out your auction message, go do laundry, browse Reddit, etc., then come back in a few minutes. Staring at your screen the entire time you're in the tunnel is a good way to go crazy, and make 20 minutes feel like two hours. That's why it often takes time to respond, and has nothing to do with being a "real player" or not.

Just use the wtb/sell forum. Log out of your main and into your mule. Hook up. Back to main. Gg

Hmmm I don’t do any of this. I personally hate selling in the EC tunnel, so I purposefully don’t sell at whatever arbitrary number the price gougers have decided to set. For example, don’t ever pay 3k for clarity II. It’s not scarce, like at all. It used to be like 500 appropriately priced for its rarity until spell price gougers decided to all make it 3k for literally no reason at all other than greed, and the only reason it stays that way is people cave and pay

The prices of stuff are completely made up on the spot. They just all match each other’s made up price not based on scarcity to form a little oligopoly on that item or spell to try to force you to pay it. After all, if they’re the only one no life camping that item, what other choice do you have?

Anyway, I don’t sell big ticket items so I purposefully discount mine half or less than the wiki price. I also consider it rude to put up an auction and then go afk so I sit there waiting for /tells, sometimes I’ll even hold off using the bathroom to be available for people. But again I’m not a price gouging power seller so I don’t expect others to be like me

And you call yourself 'eqsales' and charge 5 x more than usual and stand in the same spot for 24 hours?
