Recreating broken, absurd, and mistaken mechanics? And yes they do need me to play here and they need you to play here.

Developers do not need anyone to play here.

Nilbog has said multiple times he doesn't care if anyone plays on his box, and he is the head developer.

The developers run this server to see if they can recreate a classic EverQuest box; they do not care at all if we play on it or not. We just get to reap the benefits of it actually being open to the public.

your not really this dumb r ya?

theres a reason theres a bug forum

theres a reason theres was a forced beta

theres a reason nilbog will start threads asking for community research

theres a reason he takes volunteers for his dev teams

you honest to god believe any of that would happen if no one played on this server?

Sorry, but he is full of shit or that quote is not in context. If he had an empty server he would have quit a long time ago.

Because that was some of the thrill in the game.

Going into Blackburrow completely blind as a barbarian was an intense adventurous feeling. Getting lost in the dark woods of Nektulos was frightening as a low level Human who ventured too far.

For many, that immersion is what hooked them on EQ. That thrill or fear brought on by the darkness. For the meta questers who have BIS everything and calculated the hate per swing on their weapons, they will probably just modify how their computer handles gamma -- it's a quick change -- and not have to deal with it.

They admit the implementation wasn't the best, but the goal they were trying to achieve (classic darkness), is something still worth pursuing.

Sit camp and stand cast, just parts of the game. Just like fizzles, gate fails and resists.

I don't think you went into BB completely blind. You went through the tunnel from Everfrost to BB pretty much blind as a Barb. And it depended on what time of the day EQ time wise was. And I think we all have different memories of how it was.

This particular mechanic was changed during kunark anyway. So seems pointless to change it but you're right it does not affect me at all because I can /stand /cast macro all my spells. Just a pointless change and not correct with our current time line.
