Default Why do people prefer Live over classic?

This is mind-boggling

easier levels/farming, instanced raids and zones. not to mention it goes to luclin and PoP. some people just prefer a different EQ, p99 can be very hard on some folks especially if they can't play too often

That.
Although Live is kind of a let-down in terms of difficulty and challenge most of the times due to steamrolling content on every expansion.
I personally swapped, to be able to check all the expansions i missed.

One of my favorite things about p99 is I don't have to look at those stupid Luclin character models.

Because life progressed. The things that make p99 impossible for most people were (almost immediately) resolved by early expansions. Live is just a better game with more interesting mechanics than exploiting pathing and 2-Dimensional player involvement.

Too much to go into here, but here’s one thing that will always shit on “Classic”: there’s no perks or rewards for doing hard shit on p99, except having an epic weapon that has been bottlenecked and MQd by people who have to deal with their own bottleneck and pay for an MQ themselves. Live even went so far as having Evolving Gear, which you unlock through things like “Visiting every zone in Norrath” or “doing all the quests and missions in certain list of expansions,” or “killing every named mob in a list of expansions.”

In short, if you play the game, you are rewarded with better shit than 3am batphones and man children crying about FTE. And, it’s just patently more fun.

Live has far more content. It doesn't take long to experience every zone on P99 at which point you either quit or just farm the same stuff over and over in search of a long lost feeling.

Live is a very flawed and bloated game though, but at least it lets your explore more of Norrath.
