Would EQ be more fun if they made it hard again?

nah, live tried that and look how that turned out and where we ended up.

Actually it's the opposite for me. I'm playing on The Hero's Journey server and it's the most fun I've had on EQ in a good while.

I love live TLP servers! They are so easy and fun.

It's not just the game itself there are peripheral problems that I don't think can possibly be solved. Discord alone totally cheeses so many aspects of the game. Not voice chat per se, discord specifically.

That being said I fully agree with everything in the op. Also raid leaders here seem to get way angrier when somebody messes up. Every guild has some asshole that just frightens newer members because oh my god how could you mess up this thing you've never done before gawwwwd.

The fact that it doesn’t cost anything to make multiple accounts also impacts the game. How many guilds have a raid team of just shared accounts that are more geared than the players driving them?

First, they need to revert all non-classic changes they ever made to the server. Second, they need the classic UI. Ban all custom UIs. Disable all voice chat programs. So much QoL now, people have forgotten what classic was really like. And wtf, do necros even summon corpses anymore? Don't think i've ever seen someone seeking the services of a necro.

Maybe just have to wait till nerualink is a thing and when you sit down to play a game your brain gets adjusted to think it's 1999 and to think youre a kid again.

No one here was a kid in 1999

tons were, especially those that are interested in the emu scene because EQ was our first experience with adult rpgs in general and had such an insane impact on us.

i was 13, i had only been playing MTG for like a year maybe and had been playing DnD 2e for like 4 months maybe with a age gap of like 15 years to the next youngest player in the group at the magic shop before hearing about everquest because someone was in the beta that played DnD

i was quite literally that "i'm 12 years old and what is this" meme to everybody that came to that store because i was a only child lol

I did well in school so I got to buy a new game and then i failed all my classes.
