I can't see why anyone would prefer non-legit personally, though I admit that I don't know the ins and outs of EQ yet. Since I got EQ (because I discovered EQemu existed, nice work guys) I've been trying to find a legit server where I can work on a player and persevere to get better and better stuff. I don't see the point of improving your char if you can summon all the best gear as soon as you start. The last few chars I've made on Forever hacking, I've avoided summoning any gear. I just think it's more fun that way.

Also, saying that having legit servers would make it just like EQlive is complete rubbish. I play on a player-run UO server, Oblivion, and it has been worked upon by the staff to a point that it has things that the official UO servers don't, and it's an overall better gaming experience.

Well, one reason I like(d) non-legit servers, is becuase of the fact, with summoning items, you can pick up where you left off from EQ.

After playing EQlive for 4 years, EQemu is a nice soft pillow for us addicts to fall on, and when we first arrive, it's all about exploiting that which we couldn't exploit before, at least, it was for me.

But soon, I began to settle down, and looked for something more along the lines of legit EQlive.

There is nothing like being a god however, and after so many years of looking up to GMs, some people just like having all of that power at their finger tips, I know I did.

EQ is a boring game if you play it in a legit way. It's extremly slow paced, and takes hours of work to do the most basic of things. It demands you to seek out lots of people for ridiculous sized raids that turn out only two to five good items. It devours time.

As I've said, I had a 60 warrior in EQ; and was part of an uber guild. I'm not making this up either, so no dumbass comments. I quit a few weeks before PoP was released, but I had raided just about every hot spot in Luclin, Kunark, and Velious. I had very good gear, but it wasn't the best.

I quit EQ simply because it demanded to much time, and too many people to do things. I joined everhacking server because of the word hack. If you force users to play under a ridiculous regiment of rules, many will turn away from it. I ( and I'm sure many others) just don't have time to play in a ridiculous on line enviroment which takes anywhere from 12 - 24 people to kill large monsters; OR not be able to solo because our class has no way of healing.

I quote one of the GM's I spoke to on everhacking today when he said, "EQemu is just playing EQ without paying." I think that is a very bad mentality that will lead to some form of a law suit. If the intent of EQemu is to steal the hard work of Verants development team totally; then that is kind of wrong.

I could understand the desire to create servers that are intended to allow users to have fun by throwing the boring rules of EQ out of the window, and letting players kill monsters they dreamed of killing in game by themselves (Bye Cheal Potion) or with a friend or two.

im a guildless 61 sk on Vaz who is annoyed by the long hours and all that =p..

this just sounds like a great place to let off some steam! make an uber char kill some uber mobs hehe, glad i heard about it and i think its really cool that people took the time to do this.

...now if i can get it to work ~ :P

[Deris]

That's another good thing I enjoyed about EQemu before Cheal potions were disabled. The fact you didn't need a legion of medding clerics at your back to kill things, and have lots of fun. Guilds in EQ were probably the most terrible thing, and I can't tell you how many in-game friends I lost to get to where I was in the game socially speaking. EQ is 3/4 polotical play, and 1/4 video game and raid execution at high levels :/.

[Asmodeos Ss'Thari]

Im sick to hell with all the guild Drama bullcrap.. Mainly i play to have fun with rl friends mess around cause i chose not to have much of a RL lol.. but after clearing a zone for like 10 hours to get to one mob just to get 3 drops is just stupid =X

i need a break before my head explodes.. glad eq is on my moms credit card :p

[Deris]

Just quit the game, and sell your character. You'll feel muuuuuuch better in a few months. It's such a wonderful feeling. The fact you must depend on other people so much is what hurts EQlive. Games are meant to be fun and entertaining. Not boring, addictive, and drawn out like EQ can become :/.

[Asmodeos Ss'Thari]

i agree.. but i just cant bring myself to sell =X


i just wanna play on eqemu when im pissed at eq.. sounds so fun lol :P

You know what?

The question of legit or non-legit is a matter of preference. Who the fuck are you* to tell someone that their preference is wrong, boring or retarded? Last I checked, you were not the alpha and omega on opinions, and you're probably going to be sad when we** discover the center of the universe and publicize that it isn't you. Much like the question of Coke versus Pepsi, it is a matter of preference and it has been proven uncountable times that you will not change the other person's opinion.

I'm tired of you shitheads coming to the legit server(s) I play and go "OMF G y cant u #summonitem & #level???/ lOL GAy!!!!!11". It's not like I'm a fucking Jehova's Witness* coming to your door and forcing my religion and opinion up your ass, so give me the same respect in turn, thanks.

*Anyone guilty of this
**The human race, in case you were in doubt.
***I don't care if you're a Jehova's Witness and you don't do that. Tell someone that gives a shit.

/rant off

Raguel is banned, hes gone, you can all calm down now.

Take a breather.

Though, I must say, amen Toofles =P

[Deris]

Arrrgh, triple post. Damn IE.. My apologies again.

[Deris]

Ack, browser lag.. My apologies for the double post.. *mumbles*

[Deris]

I'm tired of you shitheads coming to the legit server(s) I play and go "OMF G y cant u #summonitem & #level???/ lOL GAy!!!!!11". It's not like I'm a *** Jehova's Witness* coming to your door and forcing my religion and opinion up your ass, so give me the same respect in turn, thanks.

and I'm just as tired as pro-legit people frollicking around, ready to waste up to 5 hours of there day looking for the shortage of clerics on everhack that will be sure to ensue.

Please, go take your (counter) whining about people stating there ideas about the legit servers elsewhere. No one gives a rats ass to be honest. I know I don't. You don't know how much of a hypocrit your message makes you.

As far as being a slow paced, boring, and repeitive game EQ is all of those. I urge you to play any other sort of video game, and use that to base your observation off. You'll see that the statement is absolutely true. Many people do not realize the terrible game play of EQ, because they are so mindlessly addicted to it. I know I was at one time.

Nice flame by the way, Champ .
