All while Brad talked about the vision and took drugs.

The new game is equally nuts. Wizards with 13000 hit points. The entire game balanced on items alone. All the original treadmills replaced with clicking or grinding to get to the new treadmills.

The magic of the original EQ was not in the game world or the graphics. It was with the people that came to play it.

I lol'd. Good stuff.
