The dream of Classic EQ - and why it doesn't work.

[Charmy]

first time i had sex with a girl

just becuase its a female doesn't make it a girl.

i guess its just my opinion, but i dont think you can make a game better than the original eq, just by making your own npcs, quests, renaming zones and changing zone connection

Why yes that would be your opinion, no need to guess. And once again no you can't make the game better by changing the original eq, becuase that would infact be a new eq, not the original. Like i said earlier i still have a longing for the newbie days when you actually had to sit your ass and med for 10 mins waiting for 20m becuase your regen was so low, you actually had some challange to stay alive, now, hell there isn't a thing in the game that can't be beat, aside from maybe the jester in PoM, has anyone killed him?... well most have long since given up becuase SpyEQ reveals he has no loot tables anyway... and i don't think he has any story like the sleeper did..... hmm off topic again, but really its just the fact that after someone has seen that at level 10 it is infact possible to make a 50 point hit with the right gear, who wants to have to sit and wait and watch those 2 and 3 point hits going by whent they know they probably won't see alot of the high end zones (PoH and PoSky and such in original eq... i think. *i was post kunark*) without the aid of the server op. or a GM.

So to solve this people don't create the old eq, they instead mold their own stories, ideas and quests around the old stuff, as well as adding lots of new stuff, so instead of waiting all that time to get up to lvl 50 and all of a sudden not be able to go anywhere high end without a raid, you can instead take the alternate route that the server ops have made for you and you can have tons of fun soloing or just going with 2-3 people. <shrug>

If you didn't understand what i was getting at, lets just put it like this. "No matter how hard you try, it won't work, its not worth it, old stuff has long since turned old, its the new and improved storys, quests that are in demand, thats why SoE releases expansions, although they all suck now, but still its to keep the place alive."
