I'm level 13 right now and not sure how I feel about it. I'm weirdly addicted to green, but it doesn't really feel like "everquest" to me in the way that I knew it. It feels bad to play but I'm addicted to the grind. I previously had more fun on prevelious blue - I can't really put my finger on it but I'll list some reasons why I think this is.

I started in luclin on live so I never got to experience the purple sky, the weirdly pixelated spell gems, and all of those weird graphical things. To me everquest was having to group, do corpse runs, having to wait for the boat, and having to explore with no map. So when they took out the sky that I was used to for 10-15 years I didn't like it but I tolerated it. Same with many other changes like the spell gems, the colored box around mobs, being able to move to make yourself stand, etc. Every change made I tolerated even if I didn't really like it.

On green, my first impression was that I hated the ui. I hated that dynamic lighting was forced making my game stutter. I didn't really like that there was no kunark(I'm bored of pre kunark servers). I couldn't find any mobs to kill and it sucked. I realized I hated the fact that my race got less exp than others(I'm a troll) and that all shadowknights/rangers were basically screwed.

I played anyways obviously, but with fast respawns and just the way people are actually playing the game it feels like a weird private server(which it is). Blue before velious always felt more authentic to me somehow to how eq was supposed to be but this server just isn't it.

blue with target rings, duxaUI, and no night blindedness was a more authentic EQ experience than green

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
