I know they have updated it once, but it is just far behind new games technology wise - hard to get new players into a game that doesn't have all the sparkling graphics and animations of today's releases. WoW can olny dream of still having an active player base 14 years after launch. I have tried to play all the sparkly games but for some reason none of them last as long as EQ did for me. I guess once the sparkle fades there just isn't anything else.

I'm guessing most of the 177 people still felt more accomplishment from that than any of us will ever feel in SWTOR.

That is not going to change, and reminiscing in General about a game that has no business being discussed in said General forums wont do anybody any good. Go post in the EQ forums about how hardcore things used to be, and leave us plebeians alone to enjoy our crapfest of a game. Quit being so rude and putting you paradigm on a pedestal On top of the fact you have no understanding of what is even being discussed since you only play D1 D2 and went to WoW .... Lol You just wouldn't get it

It makes you remember stuff as more fun and far more socially connected than it really was. It's the brain's coping mechanism for crippling loneliness in the present.

Getting rid of CC classes and moving the CC abilities into all the classes was one of the best things that ever happened to MMORPGs. Most fun ever in Everquest: 4-5 rogues, 1 shaman (linkdead after 5 minutes, but he had enough time to buff us a bit) - Crypt of Dalnir (At least I think it was that dungeon) I have never cleared any dungeon as fast as in that run. No healing, no tanking, no cc - just 100% pure close combat fighting with permanent pulling and steadily moving through the area.
Q: So, is there anything at all in the game that mitigates falling damage? A: elevators

Well actually yes I remember Because the Holy Trinity was warrior, cleric, enchanter, which then morphed into tank, healer, cc Why people today call the holy trinity tank dps healer is so lol Dps never goes into a holy trinity because the great majority of the people that play games today are dps. You could/can always get dps But then again I remember the proper definition of Endgame and grind too which most people nowadays have no clue what they are either lol

Lol You just wouldn't get it Typical MMO-Nazi response. Tying to make me feel bad for games I did and did not play. I wasn't there to play Everquest so I cannot POSSIBLY imagine how much fun you and your Internet friends had together taking five hours to kill one dragon! My point remains valid. If that is what you want, then go play Everquest. This game is not, and never will be, Everquest or any incarnation of it.

Lol You just wouldn't get it I was there. Everquest was a crap game where you sat around in Lower Guk for hours in a single room taking turns camping one spawn and then sitting for 12 minutes doing nothing inbetween because instancing hadn't been invented yet. It was a total crap game. We played it because we didn't know any better. Almost everyone jumped ship when something better came along, and there's a reason for that.

Running a mile in record time, scoring the highest on a challenging exam, watching your child learn to walk, etc etc. Getting 180 randoms you found on an online game together to slay a pre-programmed dragon should never be on that list. Personal opinion.
