Part of the attraction to EQ for pixel smaugs is the exclusivity of items, if not EQ would be WoW. I think that might change for Velious, but who knows.. I don't think anybody wants to give key pixels to people who aren't fully invested or committed to a guild. I was in Nilly for 3 years and I never saw an item of non relevance rot (ie planar drops)

Actually the only one I do specifically remember is the Xygoz spear for Shaman's that poofed on Vayden, a week later he quit. Everybody runs guilds differently and in their own way, but you have to adjust to the timelime for these expansions and pick your battles.

I think the biggest difference between p99 and live, beyond pop/timeline, was that being in an end game guild was actually "elite." You had to app for an extended period of time, know your class, perform well, have a certain RA %, not be a complete douchebag, etc. There was usually a guild charter, votes on members, written rules. Being part of the guild felt like something. Here it's just, "hey u wanna join the end game guild? kool, welcum aboard croot"

Also have to remember that a lot of people had a lot more time to waste on a video game fifteen years ago. Everyone on this server is from the most elite guild of their respective servers though.

Really? I dunno I think most of us were in school back then and prolly played a lot less than we do now. I know this is a generalization.

i like to raid with cool and normal people.

While it felt like I played a ton, I really only got to play on weekends back in classic, and even then only for so many hours. Just getting level 50 took me months upon months. I couldn't just call off high school for the week for the next expac like some people here are planning to do with their jobs for Velious.

true in classic I was on dial up so I only got to play when my mom wasnt on the phone which at most was an hour or two a night. on weekends id maybe play 3-4 hours but back then i used to ride my bike with my bros and do cool and normal stuff. sadly there has been weekends i've spent 6-7 hours logged in at a time. pathetic for sure but I think HB's generalization is on the money.

btw it took me months and months just to hit 20 on one char which I then got banned soon afterwards.

Sometimes I would sneak into the computer room to play late at night when I was not supposed to. Waiting for that noisy ass modem to dial up, and wondering if it would wake up my parents or not was always a stressful situation. I tried covering computer in blankets and other sound dampening devices but it often still failed.
