Where did EQ Live go wrong?

[falkun]

To be fair, the frogloks and iksar and drakkin and whatever else are still pretty "humanoid". They are bipedal creatures with 2 legs, 2 arms, and a head. I wish fantasy games would get outside of the "torso+head+2arms+2legs" theme, but then we usually start thinking "alien" territory.

Nice little rude comment there especially since I was already 30 when EQ launched. To each there own but IMO to be so closed minded about a "fantasy" world that only humaniods should be playable is kind of silly .

Yeah, right.

EQ would have been so much better if they had made a playable race out of a giant beetle. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sorry, but froglike creatures and creatures with tails don't qualify as humanoids to me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Compared to that very recognizable alien, frogloks are humanoid.

Yeah Froglok poorly implemented I think as a race.. shoulda had their city as a branch off of guk. I didn't like Grobb being taken back either.

Where did you find this picture of me?

I liked Luclin even though the over feel of the expansion didn't match EQ. I enjoyed the AA's and I don't think they went overboard with them until PoP. I think Luclin still had many of the elements of classic EQ. VT was a lot like VP and ToV, there was plenty to explore and see around the continent, and there was plenty of content for lower levels to enjoy.

PoP is where the game turned into an endless AA grindfest and high level raid fest. If you couldn't raid you grinded (ground?) AAs. If you could raid, you still grinded AAs but you also dedicated yourself to raiding. If you were low level, you spent 99% of your time in the classic zones. The PoK books really took away from the depth and immersion of the world as well. The nexus portals weren't anywhere near as bad since you still had to travel to them and then wait on them to port you.

Beginning with and forever after PoP it was obvious that Sony only cared about pumping out the next big raid encounter and gear set for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I loved raiding in EQ, but I didn't want to spend my entire time getting AAs and going to raids. I was a major alt player and once PoP hit I found I had to abandon my alts or be left behind on raids.

For me it was the class I played, Being a magician brought absolutely no enjoyment. Mod rod, Mod rod, Mod rod. Really got old. If I would of played a melee I probably would never of left

Luclin was pretty crappy,with the new graphics and such..Though PoP had some really legit raids.
