Have I really lost it? hmmm I guess so. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Actually I logged in to P99 a few...months ago. Something like that. Looked at my orb for a while, helped some dudes out. Ran around looking at my skittles.

You know, boring, nondescript and generic line stuff. Like I used to do in the guild.

People act like red never had good people play it...


Remind yourselves that they did but the game is set up shitty. That's the problem. It's not that people don't know about the server... or can't get to the server... the problem is the game and the rules are simply shit.

PvP teams would certainly draw more of a crowd...new server plus you can level with pals and at least fight together rather than each other. That Velious beta server would be put to the best use <3

For a little while it would until one side got ahead and chokes the life out of it.

moron ideas like xp loss on pvp death, 8 lvl range, non classic / not funny "is your body ready" garbage and "everyone send hateful tells to this guy" yellow text shit are ideas from the cancer that wanted to try to destroy that server

Seriously, how could TAKP be classic when Luclin shitty model is in there?.

Classic mean old school EQ from Verant which is up to the relase of Velious!.

Velious is an odd expansion. It sits right on the line of classic/non-classic. The biggest indicator of classic is poor class balance, shitty itemization and iconic zones. Classes started to improve, items got better and zones started moving to being worse with Velious. Iceclad, East Wastes, Great Divide, Skyshrine, Wakening Lands, and Cobalt Scar are probably the worst zones in "classic" and make up almost the majority of the Velious landmass. West Wastes is also pretty bad once you get over the "Wow! Dragons!" factor. Original EQ and RoK also had zones that were big and/or slightly useless but for the most part included something that gave them a bit of flavor. The worst zone pre-Velious was probably Emerald Jungle. One of the worst offensives in SoV and why for me I don't consider it part of class is that the bears walked on two legs.

Once you get to SoL the most unclassic thing is not the models but the fact that the game had moved into its final stages of refinement. Almost every class in SoL was good, the itemization made a lot more sense and the zones became all largely unforgettable shit.

But the red people all talk about how low effort and low competition the server is.

Which is it now? Let's set the record straight.

Made some toons on Agnarr. So far folks have been helpful and pleasant. I feel a lot of people create their own bad drama situations.
