1st or 3rd Person View?

[Haul]

3rd person. George likes spicey chicken.

I always played 1st person, and I did when I first started here two months-something back. And when my RL friends wanted to me to log onto Ventrilo so we could voice chat, I told them to "f off that isn't 1999!".

Truth to be told, I now play 3rd person (being a bard) and I use Ventrilo [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Damn you evolution!

1st. 3rd just doesn't work right.

1st person makes Norrath feel like a bigger world.

You can turn off self-inspect btw [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1st person is severely crippling to anyone who has to be aware of the situation (ideally the whole group), and I get worried when I see a tank spinning around to see if anything is behind him/her. There aren't any advantages to 1st person over 3rd- except in tight corridors, but in that case, zooming in with a quick turn of the scroll-wheel solves the problem.

I view this the same way as I view clicking hotkeys vs keybinding them. Both will work, but you're undeniably better off at least using a few keybinds and saving that mouse hand for character movement (not so much an issue with EQ.)

I get too distracted by Kimmie's bod if I use third person, tbh.

I can't play in 3rd person. I especially don't know how anyone could quad using it. Whenever I run through trees, the view zooms in and out so much that I'd have no idea where I am.

I only quad in 3rd person. Try to avoid trees [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1st person all the way son

Depends on the class. 1st as a melee, 3rd as a caster.
