Do not allow gnoll fangs to drop if killed by a level 18 and above

[Pinolian]

I played EQ 2 weeks into live. had over 300 days played, over 100 on 2 other twinks. Dont give me any WoW shit. I don't need EASY. I am here playing because I don't want EASY. Easy is boring. I had a corpse poof once, ran from BB to Freeport with no Sow, dieing once to a gnoll reaver in EK and again to a gnoll in HP. I looted my Jboots from Drelzna. I knew necros who quit their characters becauser of the dot bug. Take WoW and shove it up your ...

I just want an opportunity to enjoy the dungeon at level 7, dude. every time I have been here (I have been on this server for little over a month) its always the same shit. BB is where I took my sorry half elf ranger through the grind. I would like to do it again and enjoy it without level 19+ jerks raping the zone for the EASY Button.

I would like to make it clear, I could give a flying F.. about gnoll fangs. Its the fact there is not shit to kill because of the level 19+'s clearing the zone who do care about gnoll fangs that I am here voicing an opinion. I never knew of the quest on live when I was in BB. I was too busy killin shit to worry about the quest in everquest.

You're getting pretty bent out of shape here pal. I think you're forgetting how many people used this dungeon back in the day.

35-40 level 6-14's = 15-20 level 6-19.

It was a scrape back then and it's a scrape now.

Too many people want dragon kill rights?

Nerf drops so nobody wants dragon kill rights..

eazy squeezy.

Pino you seem to not be grasping the reality of the situation. What you are bitching against IS classic EQ. Either you don't want classic EQ, or you forgot what classic EQ is, regardless of your claims to fame there.

I fight every day for a camp spot in zones with 30+ people in them. Don't bitch to us about a little competition, either embrace it or go find some instances elsewhere.

If you find Blackburrow so offensive you better /q and run away right now before you hit MM or KC.

Honestly, this is not live. Things are different here. Very similar game but different community. You're going to be very disappointed if you try to hold on too tight your original EQ experience and expect to replicate it exactly here. People here know a lot more than people did back in the day. They know how to streamline leveling and certain camps. Lots of people are on their 5th, 6th, or 7th character here and don't want to do the slo-mo grind from 1-20 again. It's just fact.

While that sounds like it sucks, it doesn't always. An example would be HHK goblins. Back on live the goblins could be broken up into multiple camps on some servers, but here goblins generally are done as one camp. In that case it's a benefit because otherwise you would have a crazy amount of downtime in that camp. I hope that there are other parts of the game that help to rekindle that old feeling for you other than just BB. Dungeons are generally very busy here, although I see zones like najena and soldunga mostly empty sometimes.

Add to that the fact that there's only 1 server and almost no expansions so the number of zones to choose from is so much smaller than live.

It's just very crowded. Any zone with a good ZEM will probably be a frustrating place to play.

I just move to another zone. The exp you get from having a lot more mobs to choose from makes up for any loss in exp modifiers, considering there's more downtime when you're sharing the zone with lots of other people.

I have a handful of people I played when when I was level 5 on my friendslist, and although we all play a similar amount... I am a lot higher than them, even though I have race and class penalties, and I don't play in heavily populated zones. I suspect many of them sit around LFG a lot. Not certain, though.

If you're on your 7th character, why don't you know a level 60 druid at that point who would follow you around with SLN DS Regen and help you solo a dungeon in the middle of nowhere and get through levels 20-30 in three hours? If these players are such veterans, they should realize what they're doing there is a horribly inefficient waste of time.

20-30 in three hours? I wanna meet that PLer. And he said levels 1-20. And he didn't say HE was on his 7th character. Just a lot of people are. And solo a dungeon in the middle of nowhere... Dungeons are, by definition and their ZEM, not the middle of nowhere. Kinda an oxymoron. And LASTLY. If I'm mooching from a friend, and it is going to make me level 3x faster than just leveling alone... I'm going to go with the leveling alone method cause I have more respect for other people's time than that.

These forums are a terrible advertisement for the server. One of the worst forum communities in the history of gaming. It's just greedy people, epeen kids and those turds from red who spam every thread to try to get people into their garbage server.

I think our forums have a lot of less than helpful folks on them but a lot in the Server Chat is due to people misposting that threads become like this one. The OP wanted to RANT not to get constructive advice. People offered constructive advice and when that was thrown in their faces, folks realized the real nature of the thread, and that is what it became.

Try not doing it in Unrest, competing with 20 players for spawns..

1-20 is even less of an issue with a 60 druid PLing.

Dude I pulled Lower Guk. I pulled Sol B. I pulled KC. I pulled Sebilis. I pulled it all in 1999

I know all about competition for spawns. I know all about building enough aggro in your pull so some smart ass cant steal it as your running it back to your group. Which can be a bitch because you have that fine line between building aggro and doing too much damage and getting summoned. I know the game and how its played.

Its the fact that people are killing greens, making the dungeon a ghost town when, if fangs were implemented properly, it would not be an issue.
