I had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago:
We were playing WoW classic on a freeshard.
Back in the days when WoW was released i only played a few days caus i found it boring.
Like i was pulled through the game by a threat from quest to quest...
So we started on a freeshard i found, i wanted to give it a try to play with him together.
He played years WoW on live and was always so excited about the game (we played lots of UO together and still do on a freeshard)
When we played he was also curious about EQ and what i liked so much on it.
I told him i liked the challenge not to do die to avoid corpse runs for example and the loss of EXP.
I played a tank and he told me how to combo (felt like) dozens of buttons to take aggro correct. I read in forums.
When i told him, there is almost only 1 button as a tank to taunt in EQ he asked how tanks keep their aggro, that game could'nt not work i told him it does work.
He could not believe me.
I told him people act more careful not to get aggro, caus getting aggro kills you so fast (i always played wizzi, i know that one)
I wanted to say: i understand how hard it is to tell people how EQ works.
And it is so hard to show them caus they see the grafix and can't stand it.
(Not that everybody needs the newest grafic, but EQ can be somewhat hard.)
It is an experience you must make.
Like the community feeling.
People working and actually TALKING to each other.
Those very tight dungeons, so hard to move in.
You make one step and aggro half the zone and have a whipe.
Thats what i love
I had a break of 1 year now from P99.
When i read about green and the thought of lowbes swarming nek-forest around newbe-log... i was so excited to start over again
