That's a horrible thing to say.

Meh, he chirped me in another thread recently. Means he's fair game

Interesting to see where this thread has gone.

As far as the comment towards Guido about me playing with him and thinking I had to give up my life to be like that. My point was, even if I did give up my life I still wouldnt be able to do so because of the sheer time the server has sat stagnant and allowed people who have been playing so long to reach such a level.

Now for 1. I don't feel the need to have 1 million plat and a pre-nerf fungi staff to enjoy the game, but having to beg for permission from other players to experience content that I rejoined EQ to experience is not something that I am interested in. If I wanted that I'd go play EVE.

Playing with Guido's alt was very fun and kept me playing so don't use my post as a platform to bash other people.

Ultimately, I think that this server exists at all is awesome.
EQ was and will be my favorite game of all time, even if I no longer play it, and I'm glad there are so many others still able to enjoy it in these times of easy-mode mmo's that always seem so promising and fun in the beginning and always leave you feeling so hollow after only a short time.

Come back when Velious is released. You're the right level to start grinding there and there will be a shit ton of new players and old players returning. There will be a shit ton of new gear around then as well. Even the most uber players today won't be that uber to velious standards.

You can reach the level you want then I'm sure.

Honestly, I didn't mean to insinuate anything. Was just wondering what you thought of someone feeling so discouraged by your wealth--the fruit of extensive effort and dedication--that they threw up their hands and said, "I yield. I am not willing or able to commit myself to this degree."

Reading about it gave me thoughtful pause, and for a moment I considered casting off my own fungi--but then I was all like, "Newbs can suck it. I'm rich, bitch".

I dunno man, wealth begets wealths. I was lucky and started early and at least was always comfortable. Anyone can farm fungis as well as I did if they really want to, well at least until the next patch!

What's coming next patch?

[Barkingturtle]

Fungis turn no-drop.

So is your problem more that the raid-scene is crap?

Because I think it pretty much always has been. Arriving earlier wouldn't have helped.

Guess I just inferred from your post that you were more-or-less discouraged by what you perceived to be the extraordinary wealth of the established elite and the impossibility ever reaching that echelon yourself, but if it's just content you crave then all you have to do is conform to one of a few guilds. Which again: would have been the case even if you joined p99 on Day One.

beg for permission to experience content......

did you ever play live there was always a top guild(s) monopolizing content until it all became instanced

not sure if OP is srs or dum

not sure if trolling or just ignorant.

As mentioned earlier, Tarew Marr had a, as it was put, "rainbows and butterflies" mentality. There was no monopolization to the extent that everyone insinuates was the norm on live.

I can tell you time goes fast as hell. Enjoy it day by day because you never know. It is starting to get scary for me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
