There's something unnatural about this emulated EC Tunnel

[Knowledge]

EC tunnel on green is pathetic. You get the guild handmedown items they want too much for, combined with 800 shit items from classic that get spammed all the time, that nobody wants. Good luck finding anything good in Green EC unless you overpay 25%+

I would prefer the chat window just have auctions and not pointless banal /ooc banter

Staff of shielding on green - 24,000pp

Staff of shielding on blue - 2k

Yep, saw this the other day

..while waiting around they would duel and chat in /ooc. I don't see any of that in this tunnel.

Smart phone texting
Social media
Discord/ Chat programs
Netflix

One of the reasons frequently cited for the decline of the genre is the contemperaneous rise of social media. It's become a truism to assert that turn-of-the-century MMORPGs were the social media of their day. For many hundreds of thousands - millions - of people, playing an online game provided their first and for a while their only experience of talking in real time to friends and strangers around the world.

On the PC I’m constantly distracting myself with FOMO around Twitter or Discord. I run with 2 monitors and always have social media up on monitor two and constantly scan it. Because of this I just don’t “sink in” to a game quite as much; my attention is always divided."

I don't recall the tunnel being full of lowbies selling high level stuff with names like 'megadeals' and 'eqmart'.

The other day a bot account was selling a spell and quoted me 2kpp.

Then a high level player zoned in and auctioned the same spell and he quoted me 300pp and I knocked him down to 200pp. He said I got a good deal because he paid 300pp for his but things devalue and I felt we both got a fair deal.

This bot guy who tried to rip me is spaming WTB mana stone epic MQ's, all sorts. He must be loaded from ripping off newbs.

You live and learn.

If people really want a classic experience they also have to play the game in a classic way which we all know wont happen

so you get your min max poopsockin clickiesquest where items that were classic but being used unclassicly are now unclassic. gg

if /ooc or /auc is distressing u u can disable either btw in Options:Show/hide like right nexto the badword filter practically so no reason to whine about that

i agree with utube and discord and other things making ec tunnel less attractive

and @ Real Sublte

I'm super greedy for attention and antics we need like 350 gnomes running randomly in circles at all times in the tunnel in fact u should get DT'd if your tunnel mule is not a gnome, thanks.

when i'm afk at blue tunnel it will be afk msg: PST green.Zurmabikiel for wtb

or whatever character flavor of the week it is!

also 24,000 for a stave or w/e is rediculous you would never sell it to your friend/guildy for that much, thats just straight up greed, why is greens economy so plat heavy?

[mattydef]

My friends and I are always dueling in the tunnel whenever we get a chance but nobody ever wants to outside of our little group, i've tried many times with random people. One of my favorite memories were all the epic fights between the warriors and monks back in the day.

Ah I didn’t realize you could turn /ooc off

I don’t mind /ooc normally in any other zone. I just wouldn’t want to have to sift through political_argument#1057 to find the auction I’m looking for

And I personally hate selling stuff too. So anytime I’m in EC selling my cheap stuff I always go below half the wiki price. If I don’t get multiple tells immediately I feel like I’ve done something wrong
