That moment when you decided to quit EQ live

[relentlessimp]

When they announced Omens of War when Gates of Discord was still an overtuned piece of shit.

Shortly after the expansion with the berserkers, when I accidentally deleted my Helm of the Tracker on my ranger. Said eff it, I'm done. Probably around 2004-5ish? Sometime between now and then my account was hacked and all my characters were stripped. Oh well.

Quit around LDON and forget about the game for years. Then they announced EQN and made mention of eq being F2P on the normal eq servers. Gave it a shot after recovering my account. Had gauntlets of fiery might, cof and a bunch of other nice velious and kunark items. All of it was vendor trash compared to even the worse of gear. Friend found out I had gone back to live and told me about p99. Played back and forth until a nice bard gave me a free PL from 20-something to the low 40's. Never went back to live after that.

That's exactly what turned me off. The itemization is so fucking bonkers now that it was just super discouraging. I had solid PoP gear and it was all made to look like utter crap with Defiant of equal level. Like... really, really, utter crap.

I wish P99 would go to PoP but I know that won't happen.

For the most part I quit at SoL, which to me was a big drop in quality compared to the rest of the game. However I didn't finally cancel until much later they made the original models "unsupported" and you couldn't even select to use them anymore. It felt like they took my character away from me and I cancelled the same day.

What do you expect being gone from the game for all those years? lol

Example: Look at the difference between Kunark and Velious gear, and thats only one expansion diff

Friends went to FFXI as did I. Don't really remember hating EQ back in the day, played up to LoY.

I also quit and went to FFXI, best community I've ever played with in an mmorpg was on Ramuh.

EQ was pumping out expansions and changing the game quicker then I wanted them too, Planes of Power was amazing but it started to get too much too fast after that.
