so you guys are looking for EQ Minus....

[drew0987654]

I wouldn't have understood it but recently they started giving away free lvl 85 chars with all of the aa's... even if you start from lvl 1, you can automatically get all of the aa's that you meet the requirements for once you lvl up enough. it's optional, yeah, but everyone does it so I can't really group up with anyone [You must be logged in to view images.

other problems I had but could live with include mercs, lack of a death penalty, and gear that caps all of your stats insanely early in the game. oh and leveling so fast that you only need to get through 10 zones b4 being lvl 100.... given all of this nonsense though, I STILL wanted to play with SoE instead of you guys, until the free chars/aa's [You must be logged in to view images.

I was wondering what it would take for you guys to go over to SoE. if they released a new server without the free chars/aa's, no mercs, no crazy gear, and reinstituted a real death penalty, would that be enough? or are most of you on here just b/c you can't live with levels beyond 60 or expansion X? I imagine there was just a final straw for most ppl here, whether it was the mercs, gear, or free aa's... maybe even the Plane of Knowledge was the last straw for some of you, I'm really curious though. so, what made you say, "screw this, I'm going back to vanilla"?
