Let me tell you, it was no fun being in a low-to-mid-level guild in that game when I played.

I am way fucking happier playing Guild Wars, where I have great gear without having to devote my life to the game, and can get groups with no trouble at all when I want to play.

That's the thing about EQ, if you were new to the game and wanted to get in a high end raid guild, not only do you need max level, but you also need 6 months to a year or so of AA grinding just to have the basic necessities.

Yeah, I only played for a year. I enjoyed it in the beginning, the first 30-40 levels were fun, then it turned into a boring ass grind with an annoying lack of gear.

It could be totally different now, but I wouldn't buy it again, nor would I pay monthly for it.

Mmm that's what quad kiting was for. <3

The game lost its sparkle with Luclin for me.

Ruins of Kunark and Scars of Velious were great expansions imo. Karnor's Castle and Selibis were classic zones.

Still, quad kiting the 100 or so AA to be useful on a raid after grinding 75 levels? Fuck that.

I loved Luclin, liked PoP too, but by the time it came out I was already in the top guild on my server so PoP = tons of new raid content right when we were getting more rots than loots in SSRA and VT.

EQ had such a better community and vibe than WoW. You knew most of the people on your server after awhile, and it was just all around a way more social game. I still talk to dozens of my old EQ buddies, and I haven't played that game in probably 5+ years.

Oldschool late night Seb/KC/CoM runs just kicked ass.

I'll agree with that. I met quite a bit of cool people in EQ; I've met about a handful in WoW.

That game took some serious discipline. The death penalty was such a pain. My favorite thing about Luclin was KEI (I think that was Luclin anyway) . What an awesome buff. I loved having enchanter friends

What sucked about KEI, was getting used to having it at level 1, and leveling up casters super fast to like 30 or so in a few days, and then, having EQ finally enforce the level 46 requirement...root n nuke for casters owned at lower levels, non stop casting. Was shitty that tanks couldn't hold agro though, had to make sure everything was rooted.

"Train to ZONE!"

Some of the biggest messes I've ever seen involved that zone. Someone trained the entire place once for fun(VS wasn't up at the time, thankfully)


Do people still train one side so that everyone doesn't have to zone out?
