Normally I would take the Ayn Rand/crygirls can suck it approach with you Jilena.

Today only .000065% of the gaming population even gives a shit. So, it does tend to defeat the purpose when only 20 people get to enjoy the content that was SPECIFICALLY GENERATED for people to re-enjoy. Therefore, compromise, in this case, is necessary.
See to me a HUGE part of the whole EQ experience is the interractions within the community, the fighting over hunting grounds, the awesome drama it inspires. I mean really to get a classic experience altered to where friendliness between guilds fighting over content is enforced you may as well just play on live and enjoy the instanced content. EQ is the only game where direct competition over content was this intense. Everything else EQ offers some other game offers a similar or better experience. And here we all are 10 years later still looking to relive that. *Shrug*
