just saying.

Not true at all. EQ was a roleplaying game. People enjoyed simply playing a character in this fantasy world. It was fun to just run around and interact. We would duel each other all time, set up PvP brawls in the arenas, have marriages, drunken gatherings, raid cities, etc.

Before the game was "figured out" people were still adventuring all the time even if they hit max level. There were a lot of items to get and tons of intricacies to figure out. The stuff that is just a click away on the wiki now are things that we spent a long time doing back in the day.

Hence why p99 is nowhere close to classic. There is no quest left in Everquest. There is no roleplaying left. No real sense of adventure. People play p99 like it's WoW.

It's fine to just have a raiding/pvp game, but it needs to be updated because EQ wasn't made for that. Most raids are a joke. Dragons and Gods should never be farmed. They should always be a challenge. The only reason p99 even interests me now is for the PvP, so I'll do the tedious PvE to get the gear needed for PvP (and only because there simply aren't any better fantasy PvP games out there that are still alive). The entire process of it all could and should be changed, so that all playtime spent in the game is meaningful rather than "busy work".

I never once roleplayed, had a "drunken gathering", went to a wedding or /dueled someone. Ever.

And it's impossible to make raid content challenging but doable at the beginning and not get steamrolled after it's been farmed and the overall gear level has increased ten fold without making changes to the bosses.

I did a pub crawl back on live in 99 or 2000.

Before TS we had a guild meeting in N Freeport once. That was funny.

We always used IRC for meetings and hanging out when the servers were down. We had several developers who used to hang out in our IRC also. That was until someone hacked one of the devs and grabbed a very early design document for EQ2 and leaked it online.
