It's a long trek to 60, and it can be quite enjoyable if you do it right. I've been playing for close to three years on p99 now, on and off, taking my time. The population concentrates itself in a few zones, leaving a lot for others to see. I know because I bring my static group to these areas and very few people are ever there, if anyone. No matter what anyone says there's still things to do here that few people ever do, and things to see that few people ever see, even 17 years later. The meat of this game during this era was always in the exploration of new areas, bringing your group to dark corners of Norrath, killing mobs that few people ever saw. I am of the opinion that end games for mmos are generally not awesome, which is why it makes me sad so many of them have the mindset of "get to the level cap and now the REAL game will begin" (which is usually dull). The end game was never awesome and is even less awesome on this server than Live. Plus, make sure to visit the p99 store for exp potions and other unique items!īecause much of EverQuest is the journey, not the destination.

I don't play here really so I guess my word is pretty much crap to all of you and I expect a pretty unfriendly response, but from the outside looking in - how the hell do people play this game?ĭevs are soon implementing high end content that takes 43 minutes to complete, start to finish, and is triggered by the player so no batphone. You're literally just rushing to min maxing a character so you can look at some slightly bigger numbers in your stats screen and you're killing the enjoyment of the game for a ton of people. What are you guys even competing so hard for? Those same monsters are going to spawn -forever- and future progression is pretty uncertain. So I'm on the same page: You want to text me at 3am on a work night to wake me up to log onto a game to push some buttons to kill an e-monster to have a 1/60 chance of getting some loot? That doesn't fit into my life and I'm surprised it fits into so many other people's lives.įor a casual like me I guess there's no hope of playing. Then I read about how every guild needed a bat phone to be competitive.

Is the high end community really THAT nitpicky over every single rule and how every single statement written by the staff is worded? I don't want to hang out with people who are going to try to twist everyone else's words so that they favor one individual. The argument in the guild summit meeting thread about move speed getting to Tormax was enough to turn me off to this game forever.

I played with the hope of raiding on here someday, but having been browsing the forums for the past few months I can honestly say no-fkn-way.
