GLOBAL ooc/auction. Poll time.

[stiv]

I guess I should draw my camp before I make general statements about the nature of this server and the discourse up to this point. I am here, obviously, because I like the classic content and am in full agreement with the devs that EQ was a great game up until Velious. I like EQ because it is difficult and very punishing for mistakes. I like the fact that when i am doing a quest I don't see a damn icon over an npc's head telling me this is who I need to talk to or kill...

That being said, I am neither a staunch classicist, or w/e we want to call members of the community that want the true vanilla experience. I am pretty delighted that i do not have to stair at my spell book for 90% of my time logged, and similar perks that the client inevitably bring to p99. It would seem that my views differ from those of the dev team so in the end my argument does not hold much weight for the the overall effect of the server. My only stance is this: I like you people! I feel an affinity with everyone that joins this server for harboring the same feelings about classic EQ as I do. I feel that global chat allows me to be immersed in this community. Ultimately, what I seek from this server is not an attempt to re-create something Sony made 10 years ago, but to experience something that the devs made 9 months ago and share it with everyone who has come to this place.
