Game started in March, Solro opened in August, Hate opened in October. That's how it was. I just assume they opened up Hate before Solro so the high-tiered guilds would get off their backs about opening more content. No wonder the 'event' was so craptacular. Way to ruin the experience, bitches.

I don't think you can blame the "craptacular" event on the raiding guilds. I think the GMs had to have a learning experience and they just got it. I like that they'll do multi-zone events now, because the lower levels can participate without being a nuisance.

I agree that this sets a bad precedent for catering to the raiding guilds. However, my faith in the GMs hasn't been destroyed and I believe they will cater to everyone in the future.

I for one would like solro to coexist with manastone/rubicite drops etc.

Guess what? No one ever said they were following the timeline exactly. How about not making assumptions? They said they'd make changes in the order it happened in live. They never said it would take just as long. And going out of order here benefits casual players. What do you want more, manastones or solro armor? The devs are doing you a favor leaving solro out for as long as possible.

And once again, because opening hate does nothing to worsen the experience for anyone, but opening Kunark does/may, you can't compare the two. Opening hate does NOT set precedence for opening Kunark early, because they are completely different.

Be honest, you just want the top people to be held back until you catch up. You don't care about precedent or the "integrity of the server" or any bs like that. You want to feel special, and the only way you can achieve that is holding other people back until you catch up.

WHOA. WHAT?!! LOL!! Wait just a minute. Didn't you just imply assumptions were bad? And here you are not 3 sentences later assuming that people want manastones/rubi armoz over Sol Ro quest armors? Hypocrite.

Whew man glad you can read my mind. It's really hard for me to put into writing how I feel, but man you just did me a big favor... I was so busy raging over how much better/farther ahead you are than me that I couldn't even think clearly.

So, what exactly are you saying here?

I'm an enchanter, I don't want a Manastone or a Rubi BP and to be honest my points have absolutely nothing to do with those items.

I'll try to simplify this as best as I can. If they open every zone 2 months early then we will be seeing Kunark by June-July instead of October.

I recall you saying that you did not want to see Kunark open early but you seem to be contradicting yourself.

wat

I never said that. I'd love to see sky open in a week and Kunark in a month. But see, those are purely selfish desires so I don't go around pushing that on everyone.

And from a purely item quality standpoint, everyone should want manastones & rubi over solro stuff. There's not a single item in the game that could even compare to the benefit of a manastone. So leaving them in game longer by delaying solro is good for everyone who doesn't yet have one. If you don't care about having a manastone, you don't care about being good.

But I'm with zithax also. I'd like to see solro in the game and manastones/rubi permanently in as well. Their removal I think will cause prospective new players to reconsider knowing that they'd be at a permanent disadvantage to the rest of the population unless they can get their hands on one.

Well not exactly but you did say this a few pages ago.

Um...opening kunark harms everyone who wants to enjoy vanilla eq, because it negates a lot of important zones and items.
I'm not sure what your getting at with this. Do you want what will benefit you or something that will benefit the life and growth of the entire server/community?
Because the server has always been advertised as being Vanilla EQ, that's what people come here for: NATURAL PROGRESSION
