I've gotten a dwarf priest to 31 and I've been having fun due to the amount of friends I have playing but I just wish they'd play EQ w me instead of me play wow with them.

Hah I actually feel the same damned way! Here's to hoping I can convince some of them to at least TRY Green99 when it launches.

The funniest thing, to me, is that they ALL seem to know/remember the "EverCrack" meme from two decades back. I've been trying to explain to them that honestly leveling 1-60 in classic WOW likely takes just as long as leveling from 1-50 in Classic EQ.

Now leveling 51-60 in Kunark is a whole 'nother level of grind, but I've neglected to mention this to them. Hopefully by then they'll invested enough in the game to slog it out w/ me haha!

I've been playing P99 since the end of 2014. I love P99. Classic WoW is just a more modern game. Even in its "classic" state, it feels so many light years ahead of even modern EQ that it's not comparable aside from the fact they are both MMORPGs. EQ is a bicycle and WoW is a motorcycle.

Had to crawl before you could walk. Had to EQ before you could WoW.

wow is 100 times easier then eq

in eq when you die you gotta go get your gear and spawn naked, you also lose exp

wow is for 2 year olds who want to jump at the bank

What you're trying to say is EQ has a lot more risk vs reward. And WoW has aspects that are highly convenient. Which I'm 100% with you there. But as far as it being harder, EQ boss fights and pvp don't even come close to WoW. You can't get through WoW at the top level mashing the 1 key and being in 1st person view not even knowing what part of the zone you're in.

dunno i was playing vanilla gaming and raided up to including KT and every healer used /qh ( thats quick heal )

every tank has a tank macro

mages push 1 button etc

if you think the "Strat" Makes it hard you are stupid.

Everquest boss fights can last a very long period of time and require alot of focus, you definitley never raided tacvi

Yea, I'm the stupid one. We must be playing different WoWs then. Anyways, this argument has already been hashed out to death. I'm not about to relive it.

One of the biggest factors in what makes EQ so exciting(and frustrating) is the potential loss of time to gain those pixels. It has nothing to do with "skill." But the good news is most of you chaps got nothing but time.

Hope this helps.

Without discussing EQ at all, talking about Warcraft's difficulty in respect to the present warcraft-classic product amuses me. Warcraft-classic is based on a dumbed-down, easymode 1.12 patch era. The high level dungeons in particular are but shells of their original selves with many fewer monsters and easier mechanics and many characters are significantly stronger than launch-era due to the revised talents. It's a huge disappointment. Few players remember how difficult Warcraft could be at launch, either due to the passage of years or because most players weren't there right away.

If they didn't roll out that patch and rag wasn't easy mode you tards would find something else to complain about. It's just the way you are.
