EQ is about min maxing and loot. RP gets in the way.

Wretched rapscallion! By Tunare's will, take yourself and your unclean ideology away from this sacred place!

The inspiration for my surname came from Juntsie. Too bad I've never seen him in-game. See this thread: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=160987

I roleplay an elf with mental problems in game, on the forums, and IRL.

i never understood... what is the appeal/connection between rp and trivial loot code?

It makes vet players somewhat reliant on newbie players in certain situations/needs, resulting in interaction etc. RP isn't just what you say but also what you do, and interaction is a key to the formula. Currently, most capped characters wouldn't notice any difference if 80% of the server population on blue were banned tomorrow, apart from the altoholics of course. That's simply a result of immersion game-play style, while even at casual-RP style levels (my general pref over hard-core RP) one would notice the difference if 80% vanished.

cool i can respect that thx for info.... one of the things i always liked about being a classic newb was when a high level would show up lookin for stuff i could help with...

only other semblance of this idea that had occurred to me was creating a new-to-server chr on SZ and getting helped into a death loop

Yeah, makes a big difference, interaction. Take for instance the regular servers after a time, where vets needed nothing from newbies, but if you were a vet that wandered into a newbie starting area and you had tracking, the newbies would constantly beg you for help to find mob drops for their magic newbie quest armor. Then you wind up having nothing to do with low/mid level armor drops, became simply vendor trash.

You find a true newbie on even just blue now the way it is, and drop a set of splitpaw on them, their speechless. But then the interaction is even better when both vet and newbie have needs that the other can fulfill. Classic mmo's, ...what ever happened to them? [You must be logged in to view images.

I run into RPers all the time in game!

If you want a fun troll RPer, try chatting up Flergh [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
