Pretentious much?
no not really, i know that for a fact, lot of players come from pvp servers and really want to pvp (they said it)

As for the eq133tpr0 thing, just read some post around or read /ooc , you'll see how pathetic they look when they say everyone else are noobs. (geez they looks like cs 13year old players)

What would be a real hypothesis you might consider pretentious is that i think some of them somehow failed at being good at something IRL and saw a second chance when p1999 opened because they were probably bragging around during these last 5-9 years about how hard eq was and how good they were at it.


But that would be pretentious so nevermind.

This I can get down with. I totally agree, nostalgia is why I'm here. The level of thought and care that went into a game of this level is worth experiencing again. The fact that the low pop makes it far easier to be in the top tier is comforting to someone like me, a softcore carebear compared to the glorious and intrepid warriors of the past.

I just don't understand how this is coming from the same person that spoke fondly of nostalgia. If you ever played everquest, you know that knowing the strategies is only half the battle. You have to actually marshall the proper resources to make those strategies realities and thusly attain glory despite your poo-pooing. If you're feelin' froggy, then by all means leap! Terrified, alone, in the plane of hate - if not properly prepared, you will very soon be left with the most classic aspect of this game, emulated perfectly here:

LOADING.. PLEASE WAIT.

This gets my vote for most ridiculous run-on sentence ever. I think some of you somehow failed at being good at something IRL called skool.

How many tongues can you speak as well i speak english ?
That's right, it's not my natal tongue. I suggest YOU go back to skool or at least take a bit more time to think about you're saying before stating such things.

QFT

If you feel that you cannot acheive glory in this game just because it is old, then you are not playing it right.

Anytime you are deep in a dungeon with a small group (or solo, or even in a raid)...and you are balanced on the razor's edge as the battle ebbs and flows...and it begins to look bleak.

And then, through perserverance or a desperate change of strategy or sheer luck, the tide begins to slowly turn. You then begin to hope that just maybe...just maybe...you (and your close-knit team that is now operating like a machine) might just pull it off.

And you do.

That's where the glory is. It doesn't matter if the game is 10 or 100 years old. Glory is glory. Even in a dumb old computer game.

Malr, I don't know who you are, but I like you. I love classic EQ and the experiences I've had here so far have been great.
This game requires a lot of time and in-game resources if you want to be competitive, and I really really like healthy competition. The rush you get when you are racing someone to a spawn is awesome. However, just like when you play sports, sometimes people get emotional. It is just part of competing. I am staying out of the drama, but everyone can expect a lot of end game healthy competition from Div.

Was fighting some mana draining boss in ntov on live. My guild sucked, so it was post luclin, and all the clerics got their mana drained near the end of the fight. The guild had given up. But then I whipped out my soulfire... I LoHed the tank, then used all 5 charges of CH. I then used Act of Valor on the tank (for those who don't know, that's a pally AA that kills you and gives your target your HP). The wurm then died while I was LOADING... PLEASE WAITing


Now that's glory~


What? on topic? right. God damn the baddies!

I have to admit that ^this^ is a truly badass story and I don't mean it in the "cool story bro" sort of way. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's the kind of shit I always loved about EQ. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
