• • Looking for a little "R and R" ?

  • I disagree raiding isnt what killed EQ it was the people that wanted the high end gear w/o working for it.  What killed EQ was expansions that had no business being released. EQ was great up to planes. After planes it took a downturn. This is just my opinion.  I find that games at the top end do loose alot. Vanguard was good up to 45 even with its rough start.

    Some of my best memories and game play was getting flags in PoP. Agian im only speaking of MY experience. I know and understand that it wasnt for everyone.

• • Looking for a little "R and R" ?

  • Greetings all,

    First let me say im not a poster as you can tell, but ive been reading these boards for years.

    A few years ago some friends and I got talking about starting a guild on Prexus called Retro Raiders. Reading through the posts i see many are all talking about the "good old days" of EQ. The Guild would be just that. All the old zones. Players would only be limited to only having gear and crap from old game. I myself said up to Planes after that game got water downed IMO. A few stated up to Velious and nothing after. 

    My questions then is would any be interested? I left the game a few years ago and have been disappointed many many times with the crap thats out in the name of MMO's lately. I been thinking about coming back, but want to try something different. I played a SK to 65. Yep, ive been gone a long time.

    Anyway, flame, post away on what you all think. I know the game isnt the same and has changed a bunch over the years. Zones have been redone ( Neriak, Freeport  ) etc. How does Kael armor sound on a 50 cleric with epic 1? Just an idea.

• • What would it take to make another EQ?

  • Hey all,

    Nice thread going thought id add my 2 cents.

    I dont think there will ever be another EQ or anything like it. Kinda like your first time we all know with who, when and where. Everytime after never the same. There are good games out there, but you'll never get that same feeling agian. EQ IMO started the online game industry. The community back then was great. I played SOLID for 6 years. The large raids and the fustration of getting flags added IMO to the charm and difficulty of the game. As the player base grew so did the all the crying on how hard the game is/was. Then came the dumb down, enter WOW and all the clones. You can make a game easy, fast leveling, cookie cutter gear equals tons of accounts $$$$.

    Finally, maybe 38 studios has something good brewing that will be close to EQ, and not like the mindless dribble thats out there. As stated i played everyday for 6 years. With the games out there I havent made it a full year before cancelation.

    Take care
