Been a little over a week since uninstall and this thread is still going without me even replying once! Nice....but some things to still address -

Menden says they cannot read private tells/messages, fine if that is the case, I still think the bigger point is the .dll file itself is basically a trojan to your entire PC and they can log any message/keystroke in not only what you type in the EQ client itself but in the background of any other apps, websites, etc.

The bigger picture here though is that as far as GREEN goes, the server is mostly unplayable. I mean you have play nice rules in place which is fine but waste of time IMO,( in live 1st year EQ sony/verant just let players figure most stuff out outside of anything major/game-breaking/exploitative.)

What there aren't any rules for is how high levels monopolize/hold any camps/areas worth doing for themselves for insane periods at at time. Many of them get IP exemptions just to hold camps/AFK on 1 account but then check in on another in case anyone comes by and they hold multiple spawns. They tend to then pass on the camp to guildie that comes along at the right time.

This server simply fosters access/content ONLY to players who have the most amount of time to be online + have multiple accounts (ip exemptions) + account sharing (across ips) + guild mates to bottleneck 70% of content worth doing for either PP or direct magic items camps as low as level 20 items that are all also camped by level 50s passing the camp between each other/guildies/accounts.

This is not how EQ was in live/p1999 and not a good environment to play in overall unless you meet the previously mentioned requirements which I would hope the devs/server admins would realize in 2020 when most people can only play 1-3 hours a day the entire server is camped/catered to the time to play all day/sock/5am-alarm crowd which is literally the same major mistake Sony/Verant did with EQ and said they regretted and how games like WoW took over.

Good luck fellas.

Sorry that you always need to be the winner. Real life must be amazing though.

You talking out your ass and you know it. In live 1999-2001 and even Blue I remember being able to go to Upperguk and get AC camp without much issue, also in LGuk all the named mobs had groups camping them with players rotating in and out, here its just 1 level 50 holding the spawn for days on end.

If you see wanting to do orcs/dervs at level 12 (or fit any any level appropriate camp) and you can't because they are all being farmed by level 40+ for belts/sashes as not being able to have a "win" then you might be retarded. This is daily occurrence on green, I don't think I EVER saw a high level in my life doing these camps on live or Blue.

You're the kind of guy that made the lock down so unbearable. And you are here doing it as well. Any whiff of competition or scarcity of resources drives you into an autistic frenzy. Truly you are the snowflake that you hate so much.

Welcome to ForumQuest, Mr. 2020. What is that 2 months and you are splitting at the sides? try leveling up to 60 only to find the top end guilds stare at walls 16 hours or log on for 10 minutes then camp.

The players are 2020 in a 1999 game.

I was successful as reason allows in my campaign, will you be? I doubt it.

The most fun part of EQ is the 1-50 classic or the 1-60 journey with expansions, not the top end raid scene that only 2% of players in Live even participated in, but you can't even really enjoy that part here. Why does this "play nice policy" allow things like 1 single level 50 to hold down mobs/camps meant for 6 person groups? How stupid is that? If the rules had any sense or logic to them the GMs/Guides would have probably 50% less interactions with anyone.

You are onto something there.
