Default An Old Blog about EQ

Found this by accident - Wuphon's Reach - a blog about various gaming activity, including EQ back in a day. Th author of the blog has stopped playing EQ long time ago, but reading it brings so many memories and nostalgic feeling about being a true newbie.

Some of you may find this interesting. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

Thumbs up

When I read your post, the idea of reading a blog from 2001 didn't sound to interesting but I gave it a shot anyway. I have to confess that I am definitely enjoying reading about a true noob's adventure in EQ.

This 2003 post is kinda funny

There's not much left to the game other then race to level 65 and get the uberest of the uber gear so you can brag about it.

everquest casters realm - Massive EQ changes coming

October 8, 2002
MASSIVE EVERQUEST CHANGES COMING

A massive change to EverQuest is coming soon in order to correct faults that 'have been allowed to grow out of control'.
Here's the summary:

Manaburn is being changed to only allow one manaburn to be cast on an NPC per minute (pending tuning). Wizards with Manaburn will have their AA refunded if they wish to purchase different skills.

Complete Heal is being reduced to a 7500 hitpoint heal.
Mind blown @ CH was nerfed to 7500.

Totally brings back memories thanks for sharing the link. It's a much better read with the morning coffee than the news this morning.
