![]() maybe remove or restrict KEI...that really trivialized a lot. That's right, I went there.

![]() "heralded the end of EQ"
I always love when people say this shit. The 15th Anniversary Events just started live last week. What you mean is the end of EQ that YOU liked. Despite the party line around here, clicky travel doesn't end a game that, to that point, had been expanded 4 times. And has been expanded, what 16 more times since? Game was awesome at release. Thru Velious. Thru PoP. GoD kind of sucked. But OoW and DoN were awesome. Never been a fan of mercs but played live last fall and games still fun. Just different.

![]() PoP was the best expansion of any MMO I have ever played.

I came back to EQ because of the "classic" era nature of P1999. There's a couple things EQ does that go beyond many modern MMOs that I've tried and that's the forced player interaction. you have to interact with people to play this game. You have to ask a wizard/druid for a port. You have to speak to people in auction channel instead of there being an auction house. Etc. I definitely think the PoP books helped ruin the game, because it was one more thing they took away from having to make relationships and make people interact with each other. MMOs are about interacting with other people. Otherwise you're just playing a single player game. This is just one of the things classic EQ does so well. I would be quite sad if the PoP got added into P1999. As far as the exp penalty goes. I rolled an SK. I'm not that far yet (only 15). At first the penalty was driving me insane, but by now I'm used to it. I don't feel that strongly either way about it being removed in Velious. I would feel a little bad for everyone else who's leveled a hybrid to 60 already if it was removed and hey, if other people could get to 60 pre-removal, then so can I. I'm not going to complain if it's removed though. | |||

Have your opinion. But the game didn't "end" or "die" or any of the melodramatic shit that gets bandied about here about post-velious. You just didn't like it. And that's fine. I was there and, personally, loved it all thru about PoR, personally. People site clicky books as " the end" of the game. Really, what happened was we traded mundane shit like boat travel that had its novelty wear off years earlier, and having to buy ports, for exp mobs that didn't just summon, but also flurried and rampaged. For every thing that got easier, something else got more challenging. During PoP era having a slower wasn't a plus, it became required, for example.
