just started playing this as paladin (which is what i played back in t he day) and it's scary how much you remember all the sounds and locations even after 18 years.

yeah i was gonna say the game didn't really get good until i was 20 and had double attack and a good number of spells (and a ghoulbane). i only ever got to level 30 back in the day but that run from 20-30 was pretty fun.

i feel dumb i've been vendoring my hq bear skins. sold 5 stacks of bone chips for 100pp though so i'm feeling richer than i ever did back in the day. probably gonna buy a better sword (maybe a blackened iron bastard sword if i can get one since it's what i ran before i got ghoulbane years back). was the funniest sword because it was 2hand but was about as long as a dagger. was thinking of also picking up a skull shaped barbute but based on the wiki they're still mad expensive (hundreds of plat when towards the end of my playing eq they were down to around 30-60).

good call. i ended my eq career with bronze armor, skull shaped barbute, ghoulbane, and a shield i can't remember (i remember nothing about shields in this game) camping lake of ill omen so i'm dumb when it comes to kunark items. edit: thanks to the goon that twinked my lil rear end up earlier.

christ i got so pumped hitting 9 and finally get spells i forgot meditate isn't until 12. do they have plans on releasing a clean server that did the updates in real time at some point? what;s tough about playing now is there aren't enough people to group at the lower levels even in what i presume are the popular spots. and i'm guessing the economy is way out of whack with the level of plat people got. also why was the rubicite set set to no longer drop? did that happen in real eq.

i was watching those old everquest mysteries videos and it made me think of the megalodon and kraken that were rumored to be in the game. i looked em up (i think megalodon was originally in lake rathetear but was removed due to pathing stuff but people said it was still around somewhere and the kraken was supposedly in oot and people even faked screenshots of "a kraken" back in the day) and it turns out they added both to a city called sarith city of tides in a later expansion. wild.

beastlord seemed interesting to me but berserker just seems bizarre. of course since i never played during the time they were in i have no idea how they worked in reality. it was interesting playing back before people knew which classes were actually lovely. you'd see a good amount of rangers because track seemed like a great skill but i dunno why verant never "fixed" them. and i never understood why the hybrid classes got an exp penalty - is that just a holdover from d&d? they're worse than the classes they take their 1/3 from so that never made sense to me. and it's hilarious they accidentally coded halflings to get the human exp bonus and then just left it like that.

i was reading raph koster's blog posts on swg's development recently and it was funny how eq saw its biggest drop in subs when they added vendors to the game (i think he was the one who figured it out).

Zaphod42 posted:That's amazing i still think hell levels are the weirdest quirk of the game. i didn't realize until fairly recently why it happened and it was dumb how they calculated exp for the level groups it started occuring on - it wouldn't have been that difficult to give it a smooth curve.

it's too bad every other mmo is so boring with their designs. i don't think anything comes close to eq in how interesting a lot of the classes work - especially bard and enchanter.

yeah stuff like exp and the penalties were hard coded into the game (and why a gently caress up caused halfings to get humans' xp bonus). i'm guessing all that is why it wasn't "fixed" for so long.

Vargs posted:It's not something you tend to care about much. In most circumstances mobs just aren't threatening enough for you to care about pulling as few as possible, and groups of them don't tend to be super densely packed with tons of long patrol routes. Mythic dungeons are on strict timers and are all about speed, so you want to grab as much as you can possibly handle at once rather than meticulously picking things off. The days of Defias Pillagers and super careful Undead Stratholme pulling are long gone. why;d they make the game worse?

i've seen a number of people talking about how people who are hounding for wow classic are gonna bounce off it insinuating it was too hard which is hilarious if you've played any previous mmo. i've been playing ffxvi (but i've grown pretty bored of it quick) and it's absolutely bizarre being able to pull mobs from camps without having to manage aggro. even mobs that are hostile will just sit there as you pull one of their buddies. you can run around mindlessly not having to worry about anything aggoring you. nothing like having to make a low level night time run through kithicor.

when i first got eq i accidentally rolled on a pvp server (i think it was either first in the list or coolest named god can't remember exactly) and didn't know what i had done so some other newbies in freeport ask me hey wanna hunt dark elves and i'm thinking oh must be some npcs you camp in eastern commonlands and we proceed to get absolutely smoked in the dead of night.

yeah kinda the bummer of say a private ac or eq or what have you server is you can never recreate people not knowing what the best spots are to level/where everything is. i think that's part of the reason people want an eq 1.5 (obviously pantheon will never come out and even if he did it's not the one).

yeah most of the problem is mmos lead you by the nose through some story nowadays. in eq you had to find quests with word prompts and poo poo. it tossed you into a world. i played ff14 for a little less than a week and it was obnoxious.
