the boxing fear isnt irrational at all

on the classic prog servers about 2 weeks after launch one guy would box 8 toons and clear hate by himself effectively blocking all planar loot from the server guilds

and that was paid subscriptions can only imagine what would happen here with current software no sub fee and the eq geniuses around

I locked down hate with just a druid on progression servers pre-kunark. Live hate and p99 hate are two entirely different things.

Nilbog and Rogean are NEVER ever going to allow boxing on here so get over it. If you can not find a group on here most of the time you need to give up playing EQ. Start a class that can solo. Problem solved if you can't find a group. You are allowed to have more than one toon on here. Jump over to Red at times and play there. You might not find a group but someone will try and kill your ass so you can try and kill their ass back. Sounds like you need to play on live or WoW. [You must be logged in to view images.

Why are you saying you need to play WoW like it's some kind of offensive or negative thing? World of Warcraft is an amazing game, arguably as good or better than EQ, p99 or live.

EQ is a hobby, WoW is a game. They're very distinct from each other imo - like EQ is computer gamings equivalent of Chess and WoW is Snakes and Ladders in comparison.

Only more difficult game I have played vs EQ would be EVE Online but even that went mainstream easy with being able to buy Isk and characters legally with a CC.

Get a ladder,find a snake pit, and have a good ol' time.
The trick is to make sure you put a little oil on the rungs first in order to up your immersion level a bit.

I'm not so sure about that, I wouldn't equate any MMO to Chess since lets be honest here all MMO's really are is whoever puts the most time in is better. The grind is much harder in EQ and takes more planning because of that. The raid instances and dungeons in WoW by comparison are harder and more complex.

Exactly.

Stop this fucking lie that even classic EQ had a shred of difficulty. It was a game that even non-gamers loved because of its ease.

It's clear most of you never played in high end guilds on live. It's easy in hindsight because you know the encounters, but just imagine not knowing the encounters and there being no info to use.
