It is still a great game. Classic MMOs are my favorite (UO, EQ, DAoC and the such). They were so different from each other and still managed to be awesome in their own way. Innovation was rampant in the late 90s, early 2000s. It is so interesting to see how the game evolved over the years and how MMOs such as WoW improved upon some of it, like raids, and failed in other areas, like the social aspect.
Awesome video! Funny, I had a bugs group where the Monk puller also fell in the water. He swam around fruitlessly for about 5 minutes before giving up, used Origin, then dropped the group 😕.
Oh no! He could have just picked over twice! Would take him the same 5 minutes he wasted trying to get out. But I confess I was a little desperate when I fell.. took me a while to think what I needed to do... as can be seen in the video. That was not staged lol. I just recorded the whole night (the raw video is over 3h long which amounts to 78 Gb). EQ is a game of perseverance. We don't want to rage quit over tiny things like that. That is to be expected haha
My old guild used to lock down the fungi camp on the PVP server. Every time the zerg logged in to farm the camp we'd bat phone the boys and kill them. They might have been the zerg but they did not have that camp.
@@TheoreticalGameDesigner PVP fixed the lamest parts of EQ. All the rule-lawyering and poop-socking gets thrown out the window, and fighting other players gives you something to do at max level that isn't the month's long grind to min-max gear. Plus most of the best PVP gear was a lot easier to acquire, with exception of the Amulet of Necropotence, which was just shared for big guild PVP fights.
Wild to see EQ still being played.

@@TheoreticalGameDesigner Yeah I miss the original Asheron's Call. Was SO good for its time.

The camp fights even on the traditional PvE servers were wild. I can only imagine how wild it was on Rallos Zek.

Such a good game, wish they just came out with something similar with better graphics.
Check out "Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen" and "Monsters & Memories". Both are trying to recreate that EQ feeling.
