I found this rather amusing. One of WoW's "selling points" from before it even launched was that death didn't cause XP loss, so there is no way your friend could possibly remember anything about losing XP on WoW (unless maybe they played in very early beta or something). Which means that your friend is probably actually remembering Everquest or another MMOG of that era, and it's seeping in to their memories of WoW.
And I love the idea of EQ corrupting WoW memories without the person even realizing it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
P.S. Just to double check my memory I googled WoW death XP loss and this was one of the first results:
That's right, they're complaining not about losing XP from death, but about not getting XP from a mob they failed to kill before they died. "WoW problems." |
Yep I was gonna respond to this same post. I played WoW from launch for about 8 months or so and quit before the first expansion dropped. There was NEVER exp loss. People called the game "EQ on training wheels."
I left EQ for WoW back in 2004 along with a lot of EQ players, simply because it was "not EQ." I was burned out and wanted to try something new. It was fun and a LOT more casual so I enjoyed that part. There was literally nothing harder about WoW except for some of the raid content as other people have mentioned.
