All I have to say is that these upcoming updates are way to late for my tastes. Here's somthing that almost pisses me off
After applying advanced mathemagics, the commonly known "hell-level" experience gain effect in levels 30, 35, 40, and 45 has been largely done away with. Further, the "post-hell-level" experience loss in levels 31, 36, 41, and 46 was driven from the face of Norrath as well
Yea thats sweet, if they'd have done it oh.... 2 fxcking years ago! This was a known bug, somewhere back in the day that one fat guy that everyone hates(what the hells his name?) claimed that this was a bug and they had no plans on fixing it since it added to the level curve. Then when players complained massivly, they claimed it wasn't a bug, but a "feature" or somthing like that, and they still left it in.
What I'm angry about is how Everquest "Your in our world now-Legendary kings of nerfdom" who never changed a god damn thing the way the players wanted it, finally saw they must be and will continue to lose buisness to other better games. I can only wonder why they just now after nearly 3 years are making changes that players were denied so many times.
And since this is my first post intended to shite all over everquest let me begin complaining about everything I hated, and why I'm very glad I cancelled my account long ago.
Mass ban frenzies. If you use an exploit, you get banned, straight to hell, sometimes forever. One time on Luclin the coding was fxcked up and bixies in kithcor were dropping very high level items like crazy, a system wide message came up saying if you were caught killing and looting ANY bixie in kithcor you would be suspended and possibly banned. Now since its thier god damn fault in the first place... whats wrong with that picture. I liked asherons calls point of view on that, if its the companys fault the games fucked up, and the players take advantage of it, why punish the players for the companys lazy coding. God I could go on about this subject, next...
Half an hour spawns\slow mana-hp regen....
I used to think everquest was fun, I dont know why though, sitting and staring at the screen for months at a time, to kill a mob once every half hour or so, sorta sucked now that I think about it. Maybe I'm just spoiled cause I have been playing DAOC (which I plan to quit since its just like an EQ PVP teams server, cept for the spawns are only 3 to 5 minutes, and your mana regens in about 2 minutes.)
Boring quests
I did a few quests, and it involved killing somthing, every, single, fxcking quest, involved killing. Now I'm not against killing at all, infact I encourage people to kill things/eachother, but it does get old since you kill to level up and get your items, at least quests could involve somthing different.
Boring... Content
Kill 1 mob wait half hour, chat, watch tv, kill 1 mob wait half hour, grab food, kill 1 mob wait half hour, finally got into group have been on waiting list since beta to get into. Group kills few mobs, disbands..... Anyone been there before? Yea of course you have, if the game your playing is Everquest.
Boring everquest
UO has more diversity than everquest when it comes to character development, which is sad. Actually EQ has no character development, and no pressing the A key and watching your 1h slash skill raise does not count. At least in uo when you got bored you could chop down a tree make a chair out of it and sit down.
Legends servers
Hi kids, want to play a version of everquest that we actually bother to show customer support to? Well its only oh... 40 dollars a month so better cut back on feeding the family. I would like to let everyone know, if you play on a Legends server you are either a hoplessly addicted bastard who should burn in hell for not using that $30 a month extra to support the starving children in Canada, or your really rich.
Bugs
You have fallen for 100000 points of damage
All games have bugs, it will always be there, console games usually have a lot less bugs so I have high hopes for FFXI. The thing about EQ is even though they have bugs, and everyone is aware of them, they do NOTHING to fix it. Or if they do somthing its oh lets say.... 3 YEARS LATER, by then your so used to EQ not giving a shit that when they do actually fix somthing everyone praises them and thinks hell has frozen over.
Now if you've gotten this far than I appriciate you letting me rant about a game I hate and haven't played for about 5 months. We all know the things I just listed, but I said along time ago that the day someone actually had the balls to emulate everquest, is the day I would take a nice brown mr hankey poo on them and vent out everything I hate.
Thank god for emulators, hopefully when they are completely stable and ready I can play my game that I spent 40 bucks for without giving some idiots $10 a month to ruin my game.
I'll I can say is about frickin time
