Or vice versa, accumulating vast sums of plat from selling these items. Thanks to no AAs, there's not much else to do in the end game besides raiding, farming, making money, and gearing up alts. Everquest, believe it or not, does not have very much content and your options of entertainment consist of A) kill it, B) kill it with a bunch of people, or C) you cast your fishing line.

Doesn't this just mean "go on to another game"? I never understood why so many people hung around at the finish line trying to make this interesting for themselves, thinking of subgames they can play to pass the time.

There's a reason we're playing this game still. There hasn't been a better option in the past 15 years.

Thank you for sharing. Please tell us more about your likes and dislikes. We are all dying to hear about them.

You seem like the type of person who complains about bards kiting.

That's more than a little sad. I'm sorry dude.

I know, I'm playing too. But not being at cap, I don't have these problems. There's still plenty for me to see and do. Taking my time about it, obviously.

You're welcome, I guess? I wasn't meaning to judge, I've just found lots of games in the last 15 years that I have played and enjoyed, and I think many of them have been better than EQ; they've just come and gone. I'm sorry you haven't found any.

And not necessarily hit cap, quit, and move on, but at the point where you are like, "I have explored all the content over and over and am trying to find ways to make playing this game interesting," I don't know why you stay. In your case, apparently this is because you don't like any other games made in the past 15 years, and that is, to me, sad. So sorry if you feel judged. Your life is your life, do with it what you will.

You seem like the kind of guy who really hates all the whining that people do over stupid shit like this and thinks the only thing they should be allowed to complain about is 16 hours of fucking variance.

Love the derp crowd who think this epic mq stuff is classic. It wasn't even remotely as common as it is on this emu server before it was nerfed.

^ What the hell kind of alphabet is that?

11 variations of the same bad mini-game. You do it because it sucks, knowing that a tiny fraction of people have the drive to deal with that much suck. 228 tailor taking orders in Velious, lol.
