I couldn't even get on Combine but got on Sleeper. 450 people in Gfay and people were saying all the starting zones were the same. Good luck getting a mob, lol. What fun =))

I went through a few different locations- I found the Trolls and Ogres had it easiest (in terms of getting mobs to kill), but still over populated. I wonder if $OE is listening and will do a few more servers like this. -W.

I logged onto Sleeper yesterday and saw 30 Wood ELves all alike and sitting in front of the Druid trainer. The lag was unbearable. I want to know has the new UI killed this game like EQ2's. I run WoW perfectly yet this 10 year old game runs like EQ2, go figure.

The only thing I found that helped somewhat was turning off Advanced Lighting, nothing else seemed to make any noticable difference. Not lower textures or disabling AA or anything.

I don't think the other servers see 300 people in Nektulos in a month! I ran around for 15 minutes before I killed anything because everything was getting killed the second it popped. Lag was bad, but expected. It was generally a fun experience. I'm looking forward to this! ----- When they make The Elder Scrolls into a MMORPG, what bit of a life I currently have will completely evaporate.

Similar to the lag the Bazaar used to get when Luclin came out? Something that helped get around in there was put view distance to basically zero, go to first person, then look at the ground. Pretty lame way to get around the lag but it worked.

I 2 boxed on 1 system with all graphic effects maxed. I did not lag too badly, though more than I expected. My video card is nothing special: Nvidia 6800 (256 meg). -W.

The only problem I've had is the game crashes on me if I do anything other than med. They've said I might have a video card in my PC. But I run all other games fine and I'm not upgrading this computer to play a 7 year old game.

Brought back some fun memories but It was lacking something. I don't remeber the graphics looking so horrible. I think I liked the old interface better. The new interface looks out of place with the graphics now. Was fun, Thanks SOE for the free month. Don't think I'd continue though. The graphics is just too much for me to get over again.

You can replace the new UI with a remake of the old one. But yeah, I'd personally like to be playing. But I don't see myself paying for a new video card when I can play any other game just fine with this one. And I can't see myself paying for something that crashes every 5 minutes. If I can run WoW, EQ2, SoR, DAoC, COH/COV on this pc, then EQ should run good to.

Every other game is fine except this one.And like the last pster before, the game is fine but not the same feeling as it was. It's just a ton of old timers who know the game inside and out, no noobs, just veteran players trying to level as fast as possible. You can never go back, time to move on.

I play without crashing with a Radeon 9250, so I doubt that the people posting here would actually need to upgrade their video cards to play. You MIGHT want to update your drivers though.

I am finding the progression servers a race to max. No one is interested in redoing the content, just getting to end game first to prove how leet they are. A total disappointment in my eyes. -W.

Have to agree, FoH is already closing in on level 30 on Combine (that was last night BTW) so shouldn't be too long before the first expansion is online. I will give it about 6 weeks max before this server catches up with the production servers. Sleeper is a bit better but still loads of KSing, people selling bone chips for 1pp / stack etc... There is no way that people will play like the "old" days when either they are newer players or only interested in being to the endgame first. If you want to get away from the graphics lag then get out of the newbie zones as fast as possible. Karana, EC, etc are basically lag free, Freeport, Qeynos, etc are a nightmare.

I don't think you thought that one through. If you check the EQ Live site you can get a hint of what it will take to unlock the next expansion. Seems 3 boss encounters to unlock Fear/Hate. That's going to take time, camping gear, and lots of other stuff. I'd be surprised if they got a raid force capable of doing Naggy in just 6 weeks. Even if they allow raids, getting 72 people geared to take down Naggy will take some time. I think it's fun, and if someone wants to race to do it, then that's there choice. If they don't have anything else to do but play EverQuest, great for them. But I'll enjoy my life, and I have a few more weeks to decide if I want to come back to EQ, but I'm tempted, that's for sure.

It only gets laggy for me if there are tons of people, and only after I turned shadows on. I have a /hidecorpse all macro though to hide corpses, which are a big source of lag too.
