All right, I figured it's time I post in this thread.
Some things to know about me.
------------------------------------
- I loved EQ, especially the EQ in the early-to-mid 2000s.
- I love EQ because it is a game that promotes (and forces) social interaction.
- I love EQ because it is challenging, but rewarding.
- I love the challenge of EQ multiboxing, but dislike it when everyone runs their own group rather than interact with others.
- I have a job.
- I cannot play 40 hours a week. Maybe 10-15 at most.
For someone like me, this is the perfect server. The community is phenomenal. Helpful, knowledgeable, irreverent and lacking the tryhards who want to run over everyone else just to be #1.
Like I said above, I love to multibox. It's challenging to play multiple characters, each with a different role or responsibility, alongside other players in a group or a raid all trying to do the same thing.
What I hate about multiboxing is seeing people run around with 6-30 characters, MQ-assisted, never interacting with others and not contributing to the community. It's that social aspect that keeps me coming back to EQ. The 3-box limit is the perfect balance, allowing everyone to do things on their own but encouraging players to team up and collectively have a better experience.
It's not too easy and not too hard. It still takes me awhile to gain AA xp, but not an impossible amount of time. Quality of life features (guild lobby corpse summoning, tradeskill window, /melody) take care of the biggest issues and allow me to revel in the nostalgia.
If you can't tell, I'm stoked to be here.
This server isn't for everyone, but if you're anything like me and share a similar outlook on EQ and why it fucking rocks, you should give this server a try. It's the real deal.
