Classic Feel vs Classic Mechanics

[Messianic]

One is basically objective inasmuch as we have good knowledge of the facts.

The other is a subjective crapfest of bad arguments and anecdotes.

Sorry, I prefer the former even if it doesn't "feel" like 2000.

Classic EQ required you to spend a minimum of 19 hours at a time to get anything done. I'm 28 with a full time job, a toddler, and going to school. I'm too casual of a player to be grouping more than 10 minutes a month. And my situation is probably pretty normal here. There's plenty of people who just don't have the time to be diving into the game for hours at a time.

Might as well use the same logic to implement health potions and mercenaries.

P99 is one of the easiest MMO's in existence. Hate when people talk about other MMO's as ezmode when you can literally afk your way to 60 and full end game raid loot in EQ.

Pretty confident that the average p99 player couldn't make it through an LFR

"Winning" and a maturing demographic is the same reason WoW moved to insta-queue dungeons that take less than 10 minutes to complete and have a nearly 0% fail rate. There's a reason we're all playing this instead of that. That's great that he is trying to balance out his life, but I'm just saying that every other MMO mirrors that style of play. This server and EvE are the last bastions of dependent, difficult MMORPGs.

Maybe some classes, but that being said quad kiting and charm soloing are still more difficult and risky than spamming "2" and doing solo fetch quests to level 60 in 1/4th the time it takes.

EQ isn't the hardest game of all time but it is definitely less forgiving and more difficult to solo in than other MMOs. We've all been playing for ~15 years, I'd like to see how easily a completely new player gets to lvl 60.

no doggie you are totally wrong. I'm playing it because I like shitty D&D art and nostalgia.

This is the same reason I laughed at the hardcore white knights yelling "Not Classic" when something changes that seems to disturb many of the players, yet when someone mentioned that boxing was classic, but not many people did it, same with item recharging and not many people did it, so it should be in the same boat, they defended that till the day they die.
