"Classic" has never and will never exist on a server where everyone knows the future. From the moment the first person said "manastones will go away so I will camp a ton of them and sell them for all the money in the world" classic was a myth. The devs have done a tremendous job giving us a game that's LIKE the game we were playing in 1999, but it's impossible for it to be exactly the same game so things that are impractical or detrimental or less useful for gameplay (bugs, exploitative mechanics, etc.) may as well be flushed down the toilet where they belong.


The real question is, is con-target one of those things?

The point of the server is to get as close to classic everquest as possible. Obviously things are going to be slightly different when there is 15 years of hindsight to work with. With that said, if the point is to emulate classic everquest as best they can, this is another small thing that brings it one step closer, imo.

I would say the point is more like "to re-live the glory days of a genre-defining game"

Now, personally i dont care if I see colors or not, but I do sometimes wonder if they are trying to see if they can duplicate conditions as they were in 99 or really are trying to re-create the fun that was had by so many. These 2 points of View are not one in the same.

my 2 cents worth....nothing more from me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have to remember this game, "EQ" was originally designed to attract 12 to 15 years old boys, who did not really know their ass from a hole in the ground compared to an adult. to play this game., that lived in their mom's basement.

Well most adults which most of us are now, that have played this game for years know that the original Devs made a LOT of stupid mistakes that got corrected in later expansions. So we, me as an adult sort of is not going to "play" Classic in this day and age because it pretty much sucked at the time and with what I know and you know going back there totally is just crazy. Piss on everything being "classic". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
