Please see revised post; I got a little carried away while editing (it's the Literature major in me ...).

But the really key thing is, I'm asking you to identify what classic EQ is, and whether you want it. If you won't do that, it makes it hard to talk: I can't have a rational conversation with someone who thinks clicking AFK boxes (or guilds locking down camps) is what happened in 1999.

You're going to great lengths to avoid answering the question (even after I did what you asked and presented it "straight"). I think that's making my argument stronger honestly.

The argument that players are not classic is not so any or further unclassic things can be added. Its acknowledgement that both the old players who know everything and can bend the game or will take things to the higher extreme because what it takes is known and people naturally one-up that.

And that new players often come in with WoW as their only reference point.

The list, iirc, was put in because people wanted the legacy items and knew the big guilds would sit on them to control them which is classic EQ but not in the same sense of the original game because no one knew they would be worth anything later.

Blue also had a small amount of players when the manastone still dropped so there was less on the server and demanded a high price. Then in turn led everyone to want one for green, they were worried they couldn't get one so an unclassic list was put in for unclassic reasons for unclassic players doing something unclassic because they are not classic (see above)

Edit: I came in fighting due to reading some of the posts. Angry that I was, I figured this was well known by now to some of you posters who, while you might not post everyday, have been here for sometime and would already know that. Confusion further increased.

I still go to work mon-fri and have wanted a DE mask on a druid since 99. I don't think it is going to happen =(

tough break.

there were people for years upon years that wanted Warder loot, as Mead would say.. "You're welcome"

As a counter flame some top guild members would say "Sorry you didn't get warder loot"

Did Loramin ever campaign for the Sleeper? (honest I don't know)

This is the game, this is the hook that keeps us here unlike other pleasure factories. And at least in my case it was seeing parts of the game I never did in classic, just because I played didn't mean anything. Note: That last sentence is really just a response to an argument I had years ago on one of the social media sites when I was going back and forth with a guy talking about MMORPGs, he was all about the pleasure cruise. I guess that makes me a digital sadist/masochist..oh well, that seems more adult than a console controller twerp going on about his xbox achievements and match-making rank.

Is it impossible for you to make friends? After all, that is what this game is about.

Once you have done that, they can take shifts and you can get to your goal. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Just when you thought the sense of entitlement and level of whining could not get any worse among this population, it goes to a whole new level.

You're not wrong, but this response in this particular thread seems to miss the larger point.

Would you rather have to "make friends" ... that you can trust to give your account information to, and then coordinate clicking a square that pops up on the screen, non-stop, for a week straight ... or would you rather just play a damn game, and wait your turn for a chance at the item while playing?

Or not get that item.

Dude, Loramin. Just straight up tell the large group of players down there to stop doing that, and to make way for OP and yourself. I mean, afterall you are doing all this FQ so surely you deserve a stone for it.

Just suggest Instances or splitting the server into like 3-4, because even with TEAL put back in there will be complaints of a group there.. only its not a week long but 3 days.
