I can't believe SOE is making its interns do market research on the P99 forums

modern EQ is still a good game...but its lost the original EQ flavor.

there is no community on the servers. you can easily solo with mercs (or box...free accounts now) almost to max level. you can raid with your guild without ever even knowing who the other raid guilds are most of the time (instanced content).

the game is so big now (15 years of content) that it is just feels unwieldy.

For me to go back to EQ: they would have to remove mercs, remove instancing, and somehow (progression server, locked static server) limit the content to somewhere between luclin and oow.

Whalers on the moon.
In all seriousness, I don't remember, at the time, that the Vah Shir were literally on the moon but it was a race I liked to play. If the moon was not an issue would people here still have problems with the Vah Shir race? I see so much hatred at that race here but they have been around since the beginning with Kera island in a sense.

so basically what we need is an impromptu city, and to replace vah shir graphics with kerrin

If that were to happen could I play a monk/shaman hybrid?

I feel like the removal of isntances isnt entirely necessary. Sure with raid content, there should still be competition, but imho the LDoN expansion sort of breathed new life into the game which was slowly losing its replay value (I say that as I play p99 >_>)

I don't even think it is an intern. He sounds a lot like a guy from SOE that posted a similar thread over on rerolled. They must see the 1000+ people on at a time and salivate at all those micro transactions that they think they are missing out on.

People play here cause they have no interest in that shit show known as EQ Live anymore.

Snakes cool too, but NPCs really don't count.

Feh. Armed women with four boobies would have been better. An Akhevan PC race might be cool.

Always thought kerrans looked horrible (as all of the original graphics), like cats shoved in a clothes dryer for several hours. Or like they were heroin addicts or something. That's it! Bill the Cat!
