nothing wrong with luclin... not sure how you hate it..

- Player models
- Fugly mobs
- Boring lore
- No EQ feeling
- Retarded huge and boring zones (and if you played it back when it hit the live servers, some zones gave you 3-4 FPS at most with a reasonable computer).
- AAs that banalized all prior content
- Boring timesinks
- Boring ring events aimed solely at wasting people's time so VI had time to finish developing next expansion (read: get it to a point where it didn't immediately crash the servers upon bootup)


Other than that, a fine expansion.


There were a couple good things, I liked Ssra temple and a couple zones like the Deep (went exploring it as a guild the first day, great fun at the invisible bridge).

But overall it was terribad.

All good points Loramin. I prefer being able to box myself, but definitely see your point of view. Maybe one day when TAKP is completed someone will create an alternate mirror of the server that has a strict no boxing policy?

The classic AK experience was boxing

Classic EQ servers > classic AK server. Done.

Well, no, that's the function of the 3 box limit, to represent Live, where you could box but it had a cost.

Again, live was nothing like an emulated 3-box server. It simply wasn't, which is why anyone who played on live and visits an 3-box server is going to think:

"this isn't what live EQ was like", because it wasn't: back in the day live never had 50+% people boxing.

it's not trying to be classic. it's trying to be classic AK.

now scram kid

That's fine for your personal opinion, I suppose.

Oh, you're talking about a specific server. Again, I didn't mean to attack any particular server, I meant to bemoan the fact that no one except P99 wants to make a server that's actually like how EQ (not AK EQ) was.

He's not being immature, he's just arguing back. It's legit. I don't agree with him, but he's not doing anything out of hand I don't think.

Is it your opinion that 50+% of people boxed on live? Is it your opinion that a server where most people box feels the same as live EQ used to?

Obviously I have my own pretty clear opinion, but I'm curious about yours: fundamentally do you agree with the idea that "one server is like live EQ, the other server isn't"?
