eq live upcoming progression, or this? This....

I wanted to add my story.

I left UO because of the player killing to become involved in the EQ beta back in the day, and played for many years. I enjoyed the game greatly and frequently found myself defending the game against detractors. I left shortly after Luclin and drifted through many games and betas: EQ2, Wow, AC2, SWG, Vanguard, Aion, etc. A few times I went back to EQ, but every time was increasingly sadder because of how badly the game had fallen from those early days.

I had pretty much given up on finding a game that matched the level of challenge that early EQ provided, and every time I went back to EQ it had warped things a little more, so much so that now it is hardly recognizable. When I downloaded EQ Titanium, worked through all the technical issues, and finally logged into Erudin to see and feel the same world I had played over a decade ago, I was amazed and nearly overcome by how great it felt to be back. Here was the world I remembered, all the danger, corpse runs, and excitement.

I am so grateful that these unpaid, tireless, volunteers have brought back this experience. You guys are amazing. I don't know why you devs do it, but please continue to do so because the world still needs a game like this, and every new game seems to be trying to be a better Wow clone (and notice how they all keep failing). Thanks, and keep up the good work, you have my appreciation.

EQ progression was a massive failure in comparison to this.

Hotzones, non-era specific drops off of decaying skeletons (and others), spells you shouldn't have, quests you shouldn't have, etc.

It was a fucking joke.

And *drumroll* here it is boyz!

Name the new server, coming in March.

Best thing I've read in any thread in quite a while. Well said! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EQLive progression is all about moving through the game fast. This server is better cause its more like EQ99 where people were spread out at all levels. Staying here for sure.

There's a more fundamental issue for me. I can play EQ live if I want to experience what the game has become, yet I choose to come here because I've played both and prefer early EQ. So why would I play on a server whose ultimate destiny is to become a shadow of the game I remember.
