By that definition, Agnarr is very pay to win. XP potions, that tinkerer's bag on steroids, buying Kronos with real money and using it as a currency so that you never need to farm your own droppable gear or platinum, etc. The fact that multiboxing is a big advantage even if all you do with it is have a druid to port and PL your new alts or something, but that you have to shell out money for extra computers to do so?

That's pretty pure pay to win.
I do agree with this, after witnessing Agnarr first hand.

That being said, the server gameplay is so easy and laid back even without such luxuries leveling is a piece of cake.

If someone doesn't want any of the pay to win amenities, they can easily participate, group, level up, etc., and the hindrance is minimal.

Agnarr doesn't offer a classic EQ experience, in fact it offers an EQ game that's much further advanced with many nice QOL details I have to admit that are quite nice and make playing fun.

Some of the benefits of the server or differences though, I am not so fond of.

It's just a change of pace, but really it feels like a totally different game if you compare Agnarr EQ to p99 EQ.
