yes. we could. but wiz had to name this thread 'why eqclassic does not work' when he should of named it 'why i think people want to play WR more than eq classic'

Yay I caught this thread before it was locked!!

Anyway, he named this thread that because that was what he believe(d). And I tend to, too.

Holy crap now I wish I wouldn't have read your awesome post Wiz. I feel like shit LMAO
I miss pre-kunark OMG and I'll never get it back. ARRRRGGGGHHH!
Okay now that the entire reason I came here to create a server has been ripped out of my cheast anyone have any ideas how to use my talent in IT to another purpose than continuing to work on my server?

please explain what exactly wiz's wonderfully insightfull post showed you that made you decide to give up

I realized how pointless it would be to make my own server. Doing so will inevitably just increase the chance the majority of the populous would leave anyhow due to boredom or something relatively close. There is no way to recreate the awe that was once there in EQClassic. Sad really, not like his post made me think like this it only reinforced the fact that obviously making such a place would be pointless. And once you catered to the populous at which point again you'd lose them to eventual boredom, you still would have changed the EQClassic server.
So pointless to make such a beast fits. Didn't mean to say hey you made me think this way Wiz. I just received a huge reality kick in the nerds after reading the post and thinking about it. LOL

why is there no way to recreat eq classic lol, what exactly makes eq classic impossible to recreate? nothing. nothing besides not being able to use the actual old client with old ui, but old ui is not why eq99 is great.

much more likley people would quit because of the hardcore game mechanics and trouble finding groups, the whole server would have to really cooperate to get anywhere on a eq classic server with eqemu server population

I am not saying that there is no way to recreate eq classic as you stated. I said there is no way to recreate the awe or enjoyment that once was EQ99. You cannot tell me that if it was duplicated to the "T" that everyone would be just as awestuck by the grandness that it once was. We've already experienced it you cannot re-experience it the same exact way you did the first time. That'd be like saying I could fuck my first GF over again and it'd be the same even if I could recreate the way she was down to the "T" it wouldn't be the same because I already know what I'm expecting. Maybe putting it this way makes a bit more sense, it does to me anyhow.

I'll give you that one even though it could have been argued under or something relatively close. =))

and i dont want to. do you think the reason eq99 soars over modern day mmorpgs and eqlive is because it was new to us at the time? me either.

Thread locked.

This is going nowhere and is just breeding grounds for flaming.

My last comment to this will be an amused little chuckle at bbum, with his "crushing" points that oddly enough, noone else seems to see.

Guess everyone else is just a dumbass. :lol:
