Question on Phinigel 'classicness' and p99 response

[Erati]

first month of EQ people were selling accounts straight up on Ebay. It used to be fun to search "Everquest" and compare your items to what people were listing them for( like baseball cards )

In fact my friend sold his crappy bronze geared lvl 34 cleric with a screaming mace for over 100 dollars. This was a big deal for a 16 year old back then. It was beyond dumb though bc that cleric was one of the first to lvl 30 on the server and he was playing with the 'trailblazers' of the content. After selling the account, the dude never got another character past lvl 35 in his history.

the end.

(old EQ has said there were a multitude of undiscovered quests)

This is an old EQ Wives tale. Prathun debunked it on the forums multiple times. He said every quest/content has been discovered but there are several quests and items in the game that were designed by either an Intern or a Dev that has long since left the company and their work was never picked back up.

Unless you have a source on him saying that I would bet dollars to doughnuts there are 10s-100s of quests that are in some state of being unsolved. Either due to item rarity or ambiguous/missing text or both.

Phinny, if classic, is only going to be classic for a few months, right?

Then it is going to go the post-McQuaid mudflation route into the future expansions.

RMT was classic as hell. When I finally gave up EQ Live for good after PoP I sold my (top end raiding) account and plat for over $1000, which was a fat chunk of change to 17 year old me. I'm still baffled that anyone would pay that much money for a video game account.

That said, I think RMT is a bad influence on the game and community and I'm really glad that P99 takes such a hard stance on it. I really dislike how RMT has even been formalized and officially sanctioned in a lot of new games, but I can see why game devs would want their cut instead of leaving that money lying on the table if enough people are willing to pay for pixels.

But what I REALLY don't understand is stuff like TF2 hats and DotA items that have zero tangible benefit that people pay tons of money for. At least with EQ accounts and rare items you're buying a thing that can DO something.

I think I traded some bronze armour to someone at school on Tallon Zek for some Warhammer figures.
