Default New (old school) opinion

Hi all, I am new to the server been checking things out for about a month. I heard about this server through an old friend I played eq with. I played original from kunark to oow, I was on Vazaelle and very hardcore.
First let me give my perspective, no mmorpg I have ever played, and I have basically played them all has given me the memories (good and bad) that eq gave me. And not one day has gone by that I didnt wish that I could get my old school eq fix on. This server presented that opportunity and I took it.

So where to start... hmm forgive me as some of these thoughts may not be perfectly accurate but they are my perception and hopefully as a new player coming to the server someone here will value that.

Global OOC: glad that is gone, it promoted holding camps forever, it does make it a bit harder to find groups... for people who dont know how to use /who and /lfg on.... hard stuff

Camping rules: This is gonna sting... but they are assenine. heres why:
1) no matter how hard you try to control something, you cant, you just change the means by which people manipulate your perspective of control. In original eq we had a saying..."THERE ARE NO CAMPS IN EQ" I know its an asshole, elitist dickhead thing to say and even worse to actually steam role some poor wizard who finally got his hands on a smr camp.. but them are the breaks. Its a game built on contested mobs. The very CONTEST they create gave me the greatest and worst, but still most vivid memories of my gaming life. All this server did was allow people to hold camps forever with no threat of being rolled... the threat made the drama guys, drama is what you remember, yes drama sux..QQ but lets be honest, those are where your memories are concentrated and you know it... Lets use a guild camping perspective. My friend is in DA, he doesnt play the game atm, he sits... in perma.. waiting.... for a Voxx spawn. Due to these lame rules....sitting 15 people or some such nonsense gives you rights to a mob...LOL.. you gotta be joking.. thats not classic eq.. thats classic carebear. The great thing about eq is the greats rise to the top, those greats get what they want when they want it, and everyone else aspires to BE them. What do you think is gonig to happen when epics come out in kunark.. you think people are going to tolerate 15 afk losers sitting on a epic spawn...for god sakes phinny will be soloable...noone will ever get epics unless they pay umptyfrat million pp for the multiquests. Bottom line stop trying to control the coolness right out of the game. The drama is in the contest, let there be drama. Sure keep people from being mega-douches like abacabb (sorry bro had to smack you down, but hey you like the attention) but dont suck the life out of the contest. Camp checks are courteous, the server will police itself in this regard.. again.. you cannot control everything, people will just change their methods...ie sacrificing themselves to hold more than one lore item.. and eternal camp a .. oh i dont know...fbss....anyway... im beating the dead horse... so ill just say let there be drama!!!

In all honesty i was gonna bring up some other points but that one feels like it might need to stew a while so I will leave on this final note. Sony recently announced they are rolling a brand new server. I'll be going there most likely, this group hug "kumbaya" stuff isnt what made the greatest mmo ever great... its what ruined the rest of them.

oh yea, ill be leveling my sk until sony relaunches or kotor comes out (even though im sure it will be wowsuckpt2) look forward to grouping with you all 8)

seriously.. lets find an argument that is intelligent.. the you are childish thing is played out.. i mean...your posting on a forum about a game.. i could ask you the same thing. But if it makes you feel better I am retired from the US Navy Nuclear power program, and have absolutely nothing better to do with my time, other than beat my wife, spank my kids, get drunk and powerwash my trailer.

1. Ellipses are 3 dots.
2. It's perfectly acceptable to end a sentence with a period. Also note that the following sentence will then end in a capitalized letter.
3. Bye

Your troll-fu is weak.

No one cares about how hardcore you were, how you used to play, or how you think this server should be run, and where will you be spending your precious MMO time.

You impress no one with your tales of camp-stealing valor, or how many people you trained or what. We don't care exactly how you were don't ask-don't telled out of the service, and we don't care about the reasons that make you type like a retard.

All right... cut Shipwreck here some slack. His brain has been slowly cooked by gamma radiation for years.

All too true but the real problem is I am too old and grouchy to yell CC in shout when I see a named mob and none around or to be held atbay while a guild full of Gimp zergs a mob simply because they had 15 afkrs sitting in zone ...the fact that this fear of contest is so strongly defended makes me want to puke....you guys play on classic eq server and run it like wowkins its frankly sad

"I think devs got already enough on their plates without on top having to micro-manage whos dual boxing"

Well dealing with camp disputes on the server and in the forums are taking considerable time as well and perhaps more intervention for a while might deflate some of the egos that think because they are there they deserve the camp.
