Split the goddamn server already.

Bonus points if you put TMO/TR on their own private server, since there's 0 joy in EQ in having something if you can't lord it over others.

thats a great idea, they'd quit within weeks

i was with you till i read this. the only effort EQ takes is an enormous and borderline-psychotic amount of time. thats it. that is the secret of raiding in a non-instanced mmorpg. the people who debate this fact are always the ones who probably are addicted to everquest (not trolling) to validate and defend their position.

I agree only if you're talking about being bleed_edge_end_game_raider_08. This requires the effort of button mashing and drinking Bawls all night. Yeah, I went there. You've outlined what it takes to poop in your sock and call yourself by that namesake. There are other levels of raiding.

If you're in a relatively small guild and you want to put together a chardok royals raid, are you telling me it takes no effort to communicate with other small guilds to find interested parties, make groups, designate healing assignments, split loot, coordinate movement and execute a non-zerg strategy? Voice chat makes it a bit easier (and harder) but I still feel comfortable calling that effort.

The only part of classic that people like this bring with them is the whining that it's not fair they can't kill Nagafen, they can't see Trakanon, they have to live vicariously through screenshots to see VP.

And the 5% of each live server that derived joy from strictly endgame encounters and scratching to get to the top makes up 9/10ths of the population here. Casual people went on to lead lives and didn't come scampering back to relive glory days via EQ.

As for your original statement, the fact that you're shocked that people migrating to the server are stunned that not only is everything killed moments after spawning, people take pride in the sockfests, the alt-armies, and the 24/7 vent hangouts and twitter-watches that people are falling overthemselves to partake in to relive their 'classic' experience.

Feel free to call them delusional if you want, just make sure to lay down the board and hit the steam press, because it's high time for some ironing.

Enough typing Bubbles. I was told you're playing a Ranger. Why are you so delusional?!

You're responding, with logic and reasoning, to someone devoid of it.

I agree with your sentiment that raiding isn't as easy as people like him (noobs) think it is.

And that ranger just lapped your wizard in our race to bring team worthless to planar level!

unless you are leading the raid or part of it its easy as shit. come on time > dont get lost > bring your food and components > hit the same 2-4 buttons and move when someone tells you too.

am i missing something?

see, for some people who have a very limited intelligence these things are difficult and the sense of 'accomplishment' they get for sitting 12 hours pressing buttons gives them is enormous.

Considering how much of the devs focus is on epics, we can't be that far out from those quests which have a ton of small-medium triggered raids to do with your guildmates.

Oh, you're absolutely right. We are so looking forward to walking around with our 90%-completed epics until every TR/TMO main and alt completes theirs so their poopsock crews stop spamming Target Nearest NPC and Range Attack keys with 72 hours left in window on the boss mob that drops the final piece.

At least rogues will be okay.
