1/3 was me being extremely generous. Currently it's about 1/5.

But if Red fixed all it's non-classic elements, it would be way more happening:

No PvP Yellow Text.
No global OOC
Standard Group EXP Bonuses, not this bogus that red has
Item Loot
No Item Clicky Recharge

Every time I get on red I end up logging after 5 minutes because of how unclassic it is. It ruins my immersion to see yellow text followed by 20 people saying PRAS in non-classic global OOC.

But if there's no YT how will I know when someone dies to shower them with hatred/racism

PvP is a more civilized way to deal with camp disputes than we have here. Just it's EQ... not a great PvP game.

I cant wait for someone to find proof that duck casting was in classic.

its inevitable.

the freedom that makes EQ great is what allows folks to be jerks. its what allows folks to be genuinely "good" to each other as well. this is why i really like EQ. take the freedom away from the players to be good or bad to one another and you wind up with a cookie-cutter bland mmo (like the ones we've been playing for the last dozen years).

muscling someone out of a camp (or into respecting one) by being a jerk isn't against the rules. at least, in and of itself, it isn't against the rules. training, KSing, etc would be (go play on red) against them. its classic. if there weren't folks /ooc'ing about trains and KSs it wouldn't be real EQ.

I.E. Being a jerk is allowed in EQ...it can suck, but its a dimension of EQ that makes it more real---and ironically, enhances the quality of relationships you can form with your actual friends in game.

Fantastic post, Uteunayr. I've always felt that reputation being largely meaningless here was unfortunate, and I agree it does boil down to the isolated guild communities. When you're only concerned with the welfare of your group, "because we can" tends to guide action.
