Only way I back fund games is if I get a cut, and then I would invest heavily and take a gamble. This whole donate now to possibly play a game in the future which still may or may not suck is for the birds and the ultimate in Developer/Business entitlement in which the consumer sees nothing on their investment in this particular matter. If the game doesn't get made? So be it. If they want to make it bad enough, they will come up with a way to make it happen. Low financial risk doesn't make good games. As in any business, knowing you may fail and fail hard (With your own money) is what will put the fire under one's ass to get it done, done correctly, and come out with a fun product/game.

You're outright fucking lying now. Shut the fuck up.
Ha ha someone still had an fbss in Velious!

Hes being an ass about it, but I "think" hes simply saying that everything, at face value, can be replaced in the next expansion. So this would include not only OS, but VS, the hole, Veeshans Peak, etc. Most if not all items could be replaced by something in Kunark. Ill concede that, because if we're not taking any conditions into account.. then ya, items in VP easily trump shit in classic. But in all of my playtime, including p99, Ive never seen some of those items drop. So to be fair, Q qwertyqweqwertwqert , you should also concede that rarity of items does play a big factor in whether or not you'll ever get that upgrade. Two different arguments.

Meh. Rarity does matter but it is being overstated. And I'm not being an ass about anything, people just want to rage against me being right. Also I don't really care about replacing stuff in VP, that is fair enough. I just hated replacing Hate/Fear gear from Karnor, Chardok and Seb crap.

Dude, you really need to learn to troll if you are going to shit the thread with it. At least make it not so obvious here. You know none of what you just wrote is true....And we also know you aren't this stupid. So the trick here would be to interject a few things to be "Off" on, and make it just believable enough that people will actually get pissed and write back.
What is not true exactly? You whiners keep saying it but nobody is proving it.

Not only is Q trolling but he's doing that multi-quote bullshit that was so annoying before he was banned at our previous site.
He got a solid 4-5 pages of responses so he won that round.
Multiquote is the best way. Get over it.

Yeah. The fundamental argument that you're trolling with it comparing these two things:

  1. EQ - Items exist and upgrades exist in expansions or even within expansion. Odds of getting BIS are extremely rare in all cases. But you can use items through an expansion. Previous content is absolutely not worthless.
  2. WoW - You will constantly churn gear through the gear treadmill. Rarity is not as important as rolling a higher item level piece. Today's WoW you can reasonably get an upgrade every single play session. Casual or not.
Stuff was rare in Hate/Fear though. Also I never mentioned WoW, why do people keep talking about WoW?

Everything can, and probably should. If no items from expansion N has an upgrade in N+1, then what's the point?
But if everything can be easily replaced, then why go through the hassle of raiding and spending hours trying to get upgrades for each slot? May as well just forget about it and get better shit in the next expansion from an Orc. The point is that you should try to balance this stuff out so new content doesn't just instantly kill older stuff dead.
You want me to come on you?
Are you that obese guy with the loud shirt?

EQ did an amazing job at slowly scaling itemization up till late raids in Velious. That was why for like what, 4 expansions into EQ, people still leveled in classic content and progressed largely with old world gear. It wasn't perfect, and they definitely could of toned back raid item power in velious and thereafter, but what they managed to achieve by accident with EQ has yet to be replicated in any mmos since. That being keeping older content relevant and keeping the process of gearing up meaningful.

I played EQ from one week after release in 1999 to PoP. Get a better angle shitlord.

It was better up to Velious but still not an amazing job.

EQ has yet to be replicated in any mmos since.
There's not much to compare it to because not many MMOs have had multiple expansions.

Let's do this your way Sir!

I explained my point and you said it made no sense. Make your mind up....

Some of it took a while, but some of it I was getting on day 1 of Kunark and a week later at least half my gear was replaced by far better stuff.
Outright bullshit again. Unless you hardcore poopsocked, knew where loot was, and had people just give it to you.
But it WAS instantly obsolete, my first day I got a bunch of stuff that was better than the gear I raided long and hard for. Raid gear... Replaced by trash drops on day one. That isn't right. The point you dumb fucks fail to understand is that new content should not destroy old content. It is something EQ did a terrible job with, that is why there are now 105 levels and 95 of them you have to do with AI controlled mercs because there are no players and empty zones. They mass produced expansions and you either bought it and got phat upgrades left and right, or you didn't and played in an empty obsolete world. All the old world was empty as soon as Kunark hit. There was zero horizontal progression, and there was zero care for previous content when they made new content. It made raiding and gear seem like a stupid waste of time, because it was only going to be worthless 6 months to a year later, and it made massive parts of the world empty and pointless too. Go to Oasis or Highpass or whatever pre-kunark and there were 30 people in each zone. Go there after Kunark and they never reached more than about 3 people. You idiots might not see the glaring problem with that, but for everyone who heard about EQ a year after release and started anything other than an Iksar, were starting in an empty game.

Outright fucking lie. You never played live. Obviously. A lot of the Kunark dungeons were extremely remote. If you were targetting them with your guild for specific items. Sure you'd get to them. Most players DID NOT PLAY THAT WAY. Oasis and HH/HH Keep were constantly packed in the lower levels. The Lake of Ill Omen route for leveling wasn't the only route and most didn't min/max that way either.

And it only got worse with each expansion too. The only thing that was ever done well, was the epic weapon quests which at least used parts of the old world, so even when 100% of people were in Kunark, there were occasionally raids and groups put together to go and do Fear and Hate to get epic items. But that is how it should have been anyway.

Tons of lower tier guilds cleared hate/fear for upgrades. Up through Velious as the uberguilds controlled the most up to date content.

Glad you know your place, sonny.

Nope, ur bullshit. I wandered in places like Karnor and got shit like Singing Steel Boots upgrading hard earned raid shit on day 1. Like I said..

No you never played. That sounds more like p99 although even that would be wrong. Most people were tired of classic by the time Kunark came along, so EVERYONE went to see the new expansion. Old world had tumbleweeds. You can't make up a fake history to suit your dumb non-arguments. Highkeep especially was empty. Oasis went from having 30+ people all the time to having about 3 but mostly 0. Lower Guk was peaking at something like 70+ people before Kunark and was completely empty after release. I know because I used to solo the AM in there at level 51 and the zone was empty. Only people I ever saw were occasional monks coming for the raster.

There weren't lots of lower tier guilds at all. There weren't even that many guilds on the whole server because it required more people than casuals had. There were a few high end guilds, and a few casuals, and that's it. And they were all snooping around Kunark because it was new and better.

Ok, spergy. It's not our fault that you're consistently wrong and then get mad when called out. As far as "thread they have no interest in", you're talking to a premier Kickstarter backer, son. Sit down and know your role.
