Im pretty sure the people who cluster into the like, half dozen busiest zones, then complain they can't find anything to kill, are actually the ones (secretly, perhaps) addicted to drama.

You can claim you don't like it, but when it's in your power to avoid it and yet you still bunch up with swarms of others in cb, unrest, hhk, etc., and bitch for someone else (the staff) to solve problems partly of your own creation... I mean... how can you act like you aren't embracing the drama at that point?

ackshually it's people who just want to enjoy classic content in peace who love drama, not me. i am very smart.

i.e. Social interaction, cultivation of reputation, and competition. You know, EverQuest.

LOL @ EQ being any of those things

It was at one point. That's what made the game special. If we're not trying to recapture that, then what's the point? Just start your own private server for yourself and the 1-2 friends you might have and quit pretending you want to play an MMORPG.

Any time large numbers of people come together, there's going to be drama. Managing the drama is a social aspect of playing an open world MMO. Seriously, just set up your own private server if you're so scared of having to deal with other people in real-time. Then you can solo or farm you manastones all day long without having to worry about anyone else interrupting your private EQ wank session.


Also-
Eventually Kingdom is going to have to compete with Seal Team.

people who complain about low populations with nearly a thousand dudes on at peak clearly don't enjoy playing the game so much as relish the drama that results from people fighting over camps

Fighting over what camps? Besides a couple high ZEM zones everyone is crowding into and the legacy stuff nothing is camped lol

ALL of the current content is classic content. But if you want to avoid drama, you aren't spending much or all of your time in crushbone, unrest, mistmoore, highhold, etc. I'm pretty sure few people tried as much as I did to avoid drama while leveling, which probably explains why I went 1-50 in days 1-52 without running into literally any at all.

Meanwhile, folks are regularly bitching about crowding, killstealing, and whatever else sort of drama you can imagine. And it's usually in the 6-8 "main" zones with ZEMs, quest drops, etc.

If those people didn't want that shit, they would avoid that shit.
