Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
Hey Burz.
Those were fun times in VT. Mead using Rampage and breaking 10 mes'd mobs getting the chanters killed... fun times.
Have fun in EQ. Every time there's a free week I reactivate, patch, update UI and then log out again. It just isn't the same.

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
Yeah, no doubt, man. When I checked it out just about 6 months after eq2/wow releases it hardly felt like the same game anymore (logging in to cazic-thule, wat?). The same sense of community was gone and of course so were all the friends. It doesn't even seem like 10 years ago that I started playing the game - Christ, I was only 15. I still remember more shit about EQ - what spawns where, respawn times, drop tables, etc. than I can remember about what I did last week. So sad, so nostalgic. And nothing yet has even come close to touching that same feeling of community and the sense of ecomplishment (tm?) when you got that phat lewt or finally broke through that hell level.

I realize I was addicted to EQ - but it was still fun as hell.

Drugs are great till you walk off a cliff ...
Eq was too till your blind human ass couldn't see anything in NK and had to have the guide summon your corpse more then once, and summon you TO your corpse....cause you lagged and fell off the cliff =(

If the orcs looking different upsets you, don't go into Nektulos...the newbie log is long gone, and Freeport is totally different, as is Oasis, NRo/SRo...they ruined our gameUltraBurz wrote:Orcs look different now. I raged.

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
You should try out some of the EQemu servers. EQMac is definitely not the only one...Fallakin Kuvari wrote:The only everquest "as we remember it" left is EQMac.

EQMac isn't an emu server, though. Its an official Sony server (that hasn't been touched by Sony since 2005).

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
I know, I was saying that EQMac definitely isn't the only "Everquest as we remember it" because the EQemu servers I've played on remind me of the old days too.

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
Yeah I loaded up an eqemu server that is currently betaing EQ circa 1999. Just sucks there isn't 1k+ people on it like it used to be. Also went to another server and was killing what to me were 'raid bosses' with just 1 group. Made me sad a bit - exp crawling VT for instance.

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
The fact that 1 good group can solo some Fabled mobs meant for raids was pretty upsetting. By good group, I mean an SK, a cleric, a rogue, and a magician with me and someone else tagging along for free stuff. The idea for Fableds was cool, making people want to go back to old content so it isn't just sitting there taking up server space, but the way gear is now and the difficulty of them you either had to have better gear already or have friends, and then it became another one of those things where everyone had the loot even if they were terrible at playing their class. With all the Bazaar junk having hundreds of HP and decent gear being so easy to come by it's impossible to tell the difference between someone who actually earned it and a clueless dipshit that just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my ass.

Re: a NEW EQ1 server?
Went on a nostalgia world tour with 3 others (monk tank [me
], ench, beast, cleric) and took down Nagafen, Vox, Gorefuck, Severilous, Trakanon, Tormax, Statue, AoW, everything in ToV (DRAGONZ), Dain, Velketor, and Bristlebane in the span of about 3 hours
.
Ps - forgot how shit lame Vox's loot table was.
pps - velketor's as well.
ppps - forgot about Dain's banishment shit.
pppps - Why does Bristlebane need 1 million hp? Once you settle in it's cake if you survive the first minute or so.
Also I heard FoH killed Tunare.
