I think it might be a bit of a culture shock just in terms of the UI and so forth. They have modernized a lot but some of t still feels quite alien compared to current MMOs. Could take some getting used to. The gameplay I think would be less of an adjustment especially for anyone who played vanilla WoW, which was based firmly on EQ/DikuMUD as far as I understand it.

A lot of things that are now utterly commonplace seemed awe-inspiring when we first encountered them while adventuring through Norrath. That's the feeling a lot of people miss and no, that won't ever be replaced. Not, at least, until some new technological advance introduces us to something equally as unfamiliar and unexpected.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-16812671486650259682015-05-14T18:24:13.804+01:002015-05-14T18:24:13.804+01:00EQ1 was the most magical experience of my life gro...EQ1 was the most magical experience of my life growing up and it will never be replaced.<br />Taking gaming beyond a few people in a game to the world of massively multiplayer was indescribably awe inspiring.Sploitz85https://www.blogger.com/profile/14266356701961617782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-73850816242288977402015-05-13T17:55:24.522+01:002015-05-13T17:55:24.522+01:00The wife and I are looking forward to it. We'...The wife and I are looking forward to it. We've never actually played EQ1, should be amusing. Certainly I've been longing for the sort of decision making about what I can pull, positioning, mana conservation, etc. that we enjoyed back in classic WoW. And we've been having fun in EQ2.<br /><br />Now for the tough char-creation decisions. Looking forward to Wednesday. Not sure I want to try the beta first.jonreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384146710365926074noreply@blogger.com
