10 things you miss.Follow

I quit EQ sometime back around 2004 or so. Came back twice for a month at a time but realized getting a group (tribunal server) was more difficult than breaking into fear solo.
But i still watch the boards to see how the game has progressed and to see whats going on. The game has changed alot since I started playing, too much for me to come back (I have 1 AA point). But I miss the old days so I started thinking about what I missed the most and decided to post them. It would be nice if you guys would do the same so i can see how it compares. There were alot of zones I never got to or didn't spend much time in.

1. Qeynos and BlackBurrow. I was a druid from high in the trees but i ran my happy *** without SOW to Qeynos and binded myself there because I just loved that area. Remember when people camped those two sitting at the campfire at the entrance to surefall glade.
2. The Oasis. Stupid madmen and Cazel always added when i was fighting crocs.
Camping at Orc Highway was fun though.
3. Lake of Ill Omen is probably what i miss the most. It wasn't extremely pretty and it was a pain in the *** runnin thorough the spiders from firiona Vie but i spent alot of time leveling there.
4. Usually after LoIO you'd move to frontier mountains and then to the overthere. I like the giant fort at frontier mountains. Didn't care much for the overthere.
5. I miss having like 5 hps and barely making it to the zone.
6. I miss zones like south karana and high hold keep and LoIo being so camped you had to wait like 30 min to get in a group. It's sad to know nobody EVER goes there anymore.
7. I miss the E commons tunnels being packed. (selling everything on me at first torch!)
8. I miss walking by and buffing people just to help them out.
9. I miss the feeling i got from this game for the first few years.
10. I miss the fact that people got together to play and have fun. Nobody asked you how many AA points you had or what gear you had. They just wanted a group and to kill some mobs and level and have some fun. So many people blame SOE for the negative aspects of EQ, EQ2 etc.. I agree to some point. But i also blame the self-absorbed, self-righteous, "what's in it for me" attitude of some players.

I realize i will probably get flamed for 10. I don't care. I left my feelings in my other pants. And I didn't mean to end on a somewhat negative note, it just kinda came out. But please post what you miss about the old game if anything.

The wide-eyed MMORPG honeymoon is over. Just take solace that you were there for it.

If its a crowd you want, just pop in to the Guild Lobby on a Sunday afternoon :P

i miss everything being new. not knowing what is around the next corner and dying and start flaming now but some of the most fun i ever had was on corpse runs hehe having to get to where you all died naked to recover your items
