They put instances in later (with a mix of open world mobs as well) because they realized the way it worked was stupid. Because their PAYING subscribers shouldn't need to jeopardize their livelihood calling in sick just to track mobs on an elf sim. That maybe a game / work / family balance was far more healthy than "race all the competition." You already need to grind the ever living fuck out of the game as it is.

Play another game. Might I suggest Morrowind? the last TES game where you have levitate.

I mean that is EQ. That is its identity.

It wasn't designed to fit into the busy schedule of all the things you describe. Thank god, even though it means I PERSONALLY do not get all the loot as I have things to be doing. The game isn't meant to cater to me, to love me tenderly and stroke my cock.

Those game considerations came later as my generation grew up and started wanting games to suit their new lifestyles. Personally I think those games blow shit.

"I pay for it, I should get all the loot and content"

its just so damn self serving.

You do realize that even in instances you could fail, right? Wipes still happened and encounters had to be ground out well through the game as I played it (and even through now I'm sure.) Instances didn't necessarily cater to every player, you still had to put in the work to meet the requirements for victory, but it didn't just cockblock you because 140 people joined one guild that took every single piece of content away from the rest of the playerbase.

I mean really, why do you think WoW killed EQ to begin with? lol

I'll use the same argument that Aftermath used against Kittens and others for so long -- Put in the work, make the effort, show up to compete. Aftermath has the numbers to compete, they're just used to getting their way so much that they don't know how to deal with competition anymore.

That is P99.

On live it was self regulating. Most couldn't and wouldn't put the time in for this game. It was laughable to think it. That includes me, working full time with little for it.

Ease and being satisfied. EQ is the blonde that teases and WOW was the brunette that pleases.

I am not going to argue it but you might want to be more specific. You will never see me running down the street screaming or shooting up some mall. I am stubborn about what I like and the reasons I like it, I am ill about that for sure.

Wow also sucked the life out of the mmo scene. Everything tried to compete and become the better wow. After so many years the genre died and it was only WoW as a solitary entity. The post wow mmos out there hold little if any interest for me. They never will.

It is pleasing to me that Blizzard rode the train so hard they took on partners and little if anything is left of the original teams that "created the magic". The genre is dead and so is the company, I wouldn't touch those other new games with your dick.
