Do you feel the game is easier now that the community knows more?

I equip'd a fire beetle eye in my off hand for a light source on my human warrior. All the way to the 50's....

True story

My first character was a DE SK, and I remember putting all starting points into INT and gearing for all INT. I may have had a stein of Moggok in my offhand well into my 40's.

Funny thing is, nobody ever corrected me lol

edit - Could you imagine if that happened now? Your group would flame you and kick you in a matter of seconds

Imo it isn't that the game is easier, it's that we are better at it. Kinda two sides of the same coin I guess.

its the same game but we all know more. know about more items, know how the mechanics REALLY work, not just hearsay and rumors of how they might work.

For example and to add to the funny dumb stories of when we were noobs, i once made a wood elf war and put everything into AGI and even used AGI gear like serp bracers to try and be a "evasive" war...hehe, it was still great times

ha i remember people doing that, surprised we haven't seen more of this popping up with things like ACR (proven apparently...)

Certainly. We just realized the truth that the game was never really that difficult.

Incorrect. The game is (mostly) what you make of it. If you take the path of least resistance all the time, then Everquest might seem like an easy game. But just because you XPed 1-60 killing light blues in outdoor zones with a full group or whatever doesn't mean that there aren't some serious challenges out there.

Nope. It never mattered what path you took. The hardest thing was just finding the right position, but once you did that, kick back and nothing.

Pretty much every death ever came down to stupid errors, not a lack of skill.

You know what was difficult. Velks Lab with that slippery effing floor in Velious. Shit was the worst during PvP

[Rhambuk]

I hated that damn floor. Honestly ( Im looking for hate this morning apparently ) I was never a fan of velious, granted I didn't get to raid velious during the era but the exp zones the faction grinding did not appeal to me in the least. Just an aesthetics thing

What was difficult is when the phone would ring and I'd go LD in the middle of a kite.
