Also to point out... how many of you have loved Sneaksy's stories, a Deparment of Fun event, EverQuest mystery vids, or Filbus vs. Llandris for the battle of Rivervale??

I certainly have, it inspires me in some respects to see what this game SHOULD be about, and I would argue what the true original intention of EverQuest was about (community fun, roleplay, etc). Even guilds like <Auld Lang Syne> and <No Time To Rez> are creating fun spins on how to enjoy this wonderful game.

Entitled raiders demanding more, more, more for pixels they rarely use (my precioussss profile) is really odd to me.

This guy has been QQing about the raid scene forever now lol

Everquest is anything and everything - its basically an 'all of the above' game in terms of the ways you can play it and enjoy it.

To each his own, but constantly griping about midnight mallets and things that you would like to see apply to 'your version' of EQ is laughable.

The OP showed me that we have done a fine job re-creating the same drama that existed back in the day over spawns and even have in a round about way done many of the same 'solutions' that he suggested.

kudos to OP

Quite a stretch saying I'm trying to make it my version, it is like the PBAoE argument of 25 mobs not being classic exactly but mimicking the classic experience.

Zone line pulls on raid mobs and mallet dumping for agro is a stretch to say was widespread behaviour in classic, and even more of a stretch to say it wouldn't have been hit with a nerf bat if it was standard meta.

As a thought experiment, say a classic bug was found that you could hand in 1 copper to an npc and get some random tier 1 raid loot reward and enough exp to ding to 60. Do you leave it in because, "hey! It existed in classic! " Or do you stop and say, "was clearly not meant to function this way" and take it out? Ivandyr's Hoop a great example too.

Slippery slope much?

you're competing with Trump for "most logical fallacies using the least number of characters" here

Instances, forced rotations, or cuthroat competition. Take your pick, there are no other alternatives.

Not true. Remove / ban raid content is an option.
