Worried about high-end play(ers)

[Ruinous]

Your first step towards enjoying the server more is to stop entering R&F or coming to the forums period. My first impression from the server was pretty poor when I took the time to read all the negative posts that are made here on a daily basis.

Then I closed Firefox, got in the game, and found that I actually enjoyed myself despite the constant bickering that is being done here. Sure, there's constant arguments about raiding at level 50. Guess what? You have 49 levels to enjoy before you even get to that point. And if it doesn't work out to your liking, then re-roll, tradeskill, quest, help noobs, wait til kunark, or just quit.

It seems like you are reading into this a bit too much imho, just play and enjoy yourself.

But seriously. As more people level and more guilds form or gain people - more spawns will be camped.

*rolls an old wooden cup, spilling bones on the dusty floor*

But the BONES speak to me... I see in the near future a new wondrous land may be discovered. Perhaps then, many of the spawns will be quickly vacated.

I doubt you'll have issues finding groups. Even for those who are hell bent on raiding, they need to level still.

Dear beepbeep, that was awesome. I want to make babies with you. The end.

Back in classic, Paladin named Loevon gave me the best piece of advice I had had in eq, and that was "don't go to the forums".

SCB, just enjoy the game and ignore the bs. I too figured after 12 years the population would have grown up, but it seems WoW has transferred.... or the same kiddy bs. That being said, sometimes just because they are ranting or flaming doesn't mean it isn't something worth being looked at, or they don't have a legitimate beef. Not everyone is a dick, and most of the ones whom you seem to refer to won't be involved in your gameplay anyway.

I know I sure hope when I get myself to 50 and into the raid scene any wankers will have moved on, at least to a different zone.

I love the how play nice became play nice. errr forget that just be wankers and act like you are playing wow as a 12 yr old.

Outside of raiding, at 50 you have maybe 2 things you can do. Farm things or create an alt. There is maybe 2 camps that would be challenging for you at that level, and I use the term challenging very loosely.

You can camp efreeti ... and ... erm ... fire giants maybe, if they're not already killed.

My worry is that as I level, my enjoyment will lessen considerably. Essentially all I see on the forums is that high-end content is permanently camped, raid bosses are fought over constantly (something that rarely, if ever, happened on my EQ server back in the day- we had a serverwide raid calendar), people refuse to group with hybrids or people with racial xp penalties, etc.

Well the raid content has always been contested up to a point in EQ. Folks do Vox/Naggy, expension comes out.... the top dog move to the new raid content and it "SHOULD, Somewhat anyway" clear the lower level content to lesser guilds. Anyone who raided before knows that. Will it changes here? Probably not by a whole lot. It probably DID happen on your server too back in the days, at least it happened on mine. VT, Dragons, Giants, fire Potime etc etc... it is often contested and frankly this is what made the game partly fun.

If you've played and raided before, this is something you should know.

If you don't want to be competitive you probably won't be able to raid in old style EQ. Still a few raids once in a while and a lot of interesting single group content makes EQ more than worth the time investment.

Are people really complaining about negativity in a flames forum?
