How many expansions is this server going?

i do see where you are coming from, but its not THAT bad and it dosent destroy any quality of the game. IMO.

I disagree with this. If you couldn't find a port in old world, you had no other choice but to run. This made you go through zones that i bet some players nowadays have never even been in.

Basically what live tried doing was making everyone's individual traits of their class, available to other people without having to find the class you needed. Need a tank or healer? get a merc. don't ask that lfg guy to join you since he might want j00r lootz. Need to get to a zone? don't find a druid, use the guild portal. Regen, haste, sow... buy potions.

It'd be quite interesting to see what luclin would be like if they did leave out things like the bazaar and PoP without PoK [You must be logged in to view images.

What's wrong with hoofing it?

There are lots of servers out there (in fact, ALL other servers as far as I know), that go beyond Velious. They all have PoK stones.

WHY would someone who wants to go beyond Velious and have insta-travel even be here, on the one server that will not do that?? No offense, but it just doesn't make any sense.

Most of the people are here BECAUSE we don't want to go beyond Velious. We don't want insta-travel. This is a very popular idea, so it is a very popular server.

Why would a small handful of people come here and start lobbying for something that the Devs have stated WILL NOT HAPPEN??

as i have said in all my posts i do understand why people feel this way, just not why people are so passionate about it.

the way i see it, is its just forcing people to do mundane and pointless tasks that just waste time. it might be cause i try to be super efficient but when i hoof it (been doing a hell of a lot of this lately) all im doing is sitting there thinking going 'man i could be getting exp right now' and either looking at a wall / path / map... there is nothing to it. its not making the game any better. just making it more painful.

im level 25 at the mo, i think i have had a total of 2 ports.... and i have been all over the show... i can NEVER find anyone to port me and its just damn painful.. its not enhancing my gameplay at all... it only acts a detriment.

and i get affected a lot worse by all of the above cause i play during the low population hour where the server is pretty much dead.

/shrug but as you say it would be hell interesting having those expansions without those functions.

ps. i really dont care, ill play regardless. just putting across my opinion.

ps revamp multi box rules imo. 2/3 accts per player.

Are you trolling? i honestly can't tell. Asking for fast travel pok stones, multi-boxing... these are things that we can mostly agree are a detriment to the community.

Making things easier like getting from place to place is the sort of thing that caused EQ to become the washed down mess it is.

This server is classic, it's the most popular server on eq emu, and that speaks for itself about what the masses want [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the issue with these requests is that people like the idea of a server with 500-600 players on it but aren't all that interested in Classic! Mutually contradictory, of course. If the requested changes were put in place I imagine this would be a <200 player server like all the others.

I have had this exact thought as well when reading these threads.

Ahh, thank you! That's the only logical answer I've seen as to why anybody who wants that crap would play here.

Well...
