EQlive just sucks now. It's way out of hand. I now see there's a point in a MMORPG's life where one too many expansions have been introduced, and EQ hit that mark with Luclin I think. And from there it's only gotten worse.
It was great when just classic. Freeport had it's own 'community', as did Qeynos. It was great when Kunark was released, and then Velious (man Velious! How I love it, taking sides in a war and all).
But then Luclin? Cats on the moon? Easy xp zones? Ugly, ugly new models?
Then PoP? Portal books? Even more phat lewt to collect that let hunt new zones and collect even better phat lewt?
Then Ykesha (what the hell is that expansion?) LDoN (interesting ideas at least), and GoD? Tribute?
Ahhh! Stop the madness! EQ is out of control! It's no longer the game I loved. Dark and Light is where the future is for me, and of course Guild Wars.
EDIT: oh and honestly, the worst thing about EQlive now is the guild politics. Nothing worse than having to reserve zones and mobs, and have your game play limited by other guilds. You all know what I'm talking about, it sucks.
