Hi from China.
 

Hey, people. New to the site, and plan on joining y'all as soon as I get an internet connection in my apartment that does not drop every 2 minutes.

Are any members here non-USA residents? Hows the connection? I live in Dalian China...

I'm in Europe and its fine thus far.

<--- eNgLaNd

Greatest!

I'm hoping I can set up my own DSL line here. Right now I SHARE my connection with ALL the tenants of my gorram building. I have to re-connect several times a minut at worst, and once every 5 minutes at best.

I play Bard btw. I played EQ from launch on through the first 7 years, then was off and on for another 3 years. I tried the most recent progression thing on Live servers and it was a hoot until it caught up with regular servers within a year. =(

How is the fallout from Japan?

Yeah, this is why I never went to the progression servers.

I didn't want 'progression' I wanted classic without a timer until the PoP bombshell hit and killed the world setting. At least imo.

I don't know why they're so averse to just having a Kunark or Velious expansion capped server.

I missed all that...I hope. I just moved here a month ago from down south in Hangzhou. Only fallout I've experienced came from eating spoiled mussels at the International Beer Festival that's in town this week. =)

You have no idea (or you might) how many times I've complained like an old man in Live by saying that PoP ruined the game. At least going to Luclin required a wait at a spire, or asking another player for a Port. PoP just said "Eff the travel economy and player interaction!"

I think they will not make a REAL effort at going classic because they would have to admit that the game went shite at a certain point.

Oh, I have complained in the exact manner as you. I was heavily involved with the game back in the day. PoP killed the game.

And yeah, they will never admit it. Its not until they have killed a game dead like SWG they admit it.

They just never learn though.

Damn your boy can swim, grats.
