The behavior players are exhibiting is precisely why the game evolved and why newer MMOs instituted instances. Folks cry that Everquest was this rare, raw MMO that is the best example...but only when it caters to their desires.

The issue is that it's an old, solved game. If it was new with unknown zem, unknown mechanics, people didn't know about exp penalties and such... it would be a lot different. The concepts themselves are not issues, the issue is everyone knows everything.

Heh... this kinda just gave me an interesting idea. Not sure if people are aware of "randomizers" that people use for SNES game ROMs (the Link to the Past + Super Metroid combination randomizer is something to fucking behold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E31Ago0uRwU)

What if each time an EQ server launched the EXP penalties and bonuses and ZEMs and even the loot were randomized (loot would still need to be tiered by difficulty/level, so CoF isn't dropping from Fippy, etc) so it had to all be figured out again. Could take it a step further and somehow rearrange which zones are connected to which, though that might be too weird.

Could be fun, at least once?

So what you're saying is, People like what they like? Huh.

They announced in game that bringing Green server down for an update is neccessary to boot teal. They decided to bring it down at a later time.

Teal up but locked. Would have preferred it was called turquoise or aqua-marine but you can't have everything.

I’d say consider WoW, but now that we essentially in effect have layering and instancing you don’t need to
