I would personally like to invite OP to set himself on fire and DIE IN IT for not polling correctly (Bush/Towers/911)

So sad the only way to experience POP is on alkabor or TLP gross

can't tell if this is bait or stupid. you know iksars are kunark right? 2012 and you still retarded on things here?

because eq tried to emulate wow lol, same with eq2, not to mention lack of advertising...

The point remains you never lessen interaction within an MMO if you truly want it to be special, i.e. Classic / P99

Theory Debunked on Live. Within a year everyone was bitching about the bazaar and it was known to have a detrimental impact on the game. Everyone missed the Gfay/EC way and that is the majority consensus.

Tunnel questing is a different flavor of EQ and part of what makes it special, and you can choose to have as little or as much put into that aspect as you like. There's plenty of people out there that will buy/sell your items for a small fee, don't act like you must do it personally and spend hours doing it.

There is nothing special about tunnel questing. EC is a blight on the face of Norrath. I played on 3 different servers during my time from late kunark through the beginning of prophecy of ro. No one missed EC, no one was mad the bazaar existed. Everyone was glad they didn't have to waste time in the tunnel and that they could sell their wares at off hours and use game time to actually play the game.

There is nothing good about EC. Nothing.

EQ was on its like literal 10th expansion pack when WoW came out you dumb shit

Just started up on p2002/WFH (now called Wayfarer's Haven), which will go to LDoN (lvl 65 level cap).

People are super nice (see: below)

Every sunday they have Coppermart, where the uber folk on server donate Kunark-thru-Luclin droppables and the GMs sell on a trader for 1cp each. People get in a line and actually wait their turn. Pretty rad.

- Also, the server-wide leveling guild just FINDS you and invites you, and the people are very welcoming.

Problem is I'm currently playing on 4 EQ servers... probably cutting it down to two again, but WFH will definitely be on that shortlist. Come join!

I think the other guy was suggesting he felt EQ went off the rails by trying to copy Warcraft after that game released instead of sticking to its roots? That's how I interpreted it, anyway. That being said I disagree with such an assessment either way; I feel Sony managed to kill its golden goose effectively enough that EQ was doomed as soon as a viable competitor opened up regardless of what EQ did afterwards. After 15+ years a lot of folks forget just how pissed off much of the community was with Sony's extreme greed, near-constant lies, and general incompetence. Heck I didn't even make it that far. I quit EQ for the last time well before Warcraft launched.

Also, double shitpost. I play on live and the bazaar is super freakin dope, especially now that there's offline trader mode. My online-time is 100% my playtime, and i don't have to spend any of it haggling. I make enough plat off the bazaar to fund 6 accounts, every month, without fail.
