TALLON ZEK - Shout Out

I never played EQ I played Anarchy online and Aion but I am curious as how yu hardcore MMO vets are coping in this game?
I personaly can't and quit..

Didn't fancy have a sleep problem and he got corpse camped after falling asleep, and they took him down like 30 levels?

For those that don't know you lost exp dying, one of the primary reasons death hurt so bad, because it took hours to make that experience back up, and you could lose levels, so they corpse camped the narcoleptic for hours taking him down from level 50 to 30 or something crazy like that.

Agree I massively miss this type of thing. EQ Pvp worked because it wasn't based on two factions, all quests and bosses were world based so if you didn't get them you had to wait for respawn (certainly in the case of bosses).


EQ has been improved on mechanics wise but I'm not sure it's gameplay has been matched.

Vallon Zek here, 6-7 years of it, cant remember.

Ramza i had a short visit in The Twelve Prophets whas a darky =)

I quit playing EQ shortly after RoK was released.

I was a first day RZ player. Rolled my Human Monk in Freeport about 30 minutes after the server went live. I don't know what happened after I left, but I can tell you there was no agreements between guilds to have the planes no pvp zones.

I was a non guilded member of a coalition of players that did farm the planes for no-drop gear named Caterva. We had a running fight against other guilds that would try to interrupt us in the planes.

Some of the more colorful people I remember from EQ.

I played Xaline from Human Retribution (and later Scorched Norath) on Tallon Zek. We were almost exclusively PvP as HR, though as SN we did do some dragon kills etc. I mostly remember us being hated before Pandamonium showed up since we killed any non-humans and people complained we went "against the light team". When PDM showed up, then people had bigger things to complain about than us

Agreed. EQ was a battle for resources. If you wanted to hunt in a certain dungeon, you went in, killed whoever was there, and took their spawn away by force. If you wanted certain bosses like the dragons, you had to mobilize before your competition did. Since everything was world PvP, there was none of the instances you have now, which basically just guarantee that everyone has access to the same content. This is great for PvE servers, but for PvP it really causes a game where the PvP is meaningless.

Warzones are fun. Objective bases mini-games are great in that I can just que up, and in minutes I'm teamed with like-minded people who want to play the same games. But there's no REAL value to them. 15 minutes later we can just do the same mini-game again. If we won, great. If we lost, oh well, better luck next time. There's no actual consequences. I think of all my favorite PvP stories, and 95% of them were from my time playing EQ. The other 5% are WoW, WH and SWTOR combined.

Ah the memories and to think people who raided and pvped in these lesser games of today have the audacity to call themselves hardcore

Played on TZ and Zek: Beefusmaximus. Was in various guilds on TZ (blood runners, lex, incursion) but mainly Ascending Dawn on Zek. Now I'm just Beef on Vulkars Highway~

BTW, a new EQ (called Next) is in the works. More like EQ1 than 2/wow
