This game was and never got out of beta in 1999

Seems to me that this game was never finished and the team were too busy chasing bugs than actually finishing the game. Why do shields not block attacks like Diablo 2? Why are bows so shitty and never get better till luclin? There were also not enough meaningful quests when the game launched and were only added way later when Sol Ro hit and that was mainly armor.

I'd love to see an EQ remaster in Unreal 5 with QoL changes. E like it should have been

FR. How long did it take to realise that taunt wasn't working on yellows, bash stun didn't generate bonus aggro, etc. A whole bunch of spells that did basically nada. Like real basic fundamental gameplay issues and the devs just thought the players were bad for not using unimplemented gameplay features. LOL.

^with all due respect to Brad and the gang, cos it still the bestest game ever, despite (or possibly due to) those issues.

My favorite is that alchemy didn't work on release because you couldn't train crafting skills above 20, but since you get alchemy at 25 and the first skill point trained gives you skill equal to your level trying to train it would fail. The devs dismissed complaints because they'd test it by creating a high-level character with skills already maxxed and it would work for them.
