I'm glad I had the opportunity to play EQ when it was new and original and thrilling but I wouldn't go back.

The new content just isn't magical and the world felt exceptionally empty. Feel like the game needs a reboot / remake that perfects what was flawed on release in '99 rather than bloating the level cap and spreading the player base thin over an empty world.Calthaerhttps://www.calthaer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-20983902407490622772022-01-20T20:55:11.579+00:002022-01-20T20:55:11.579+00:00That Johnny Nash track was fine, but then I found ...That Johnny Nash track was fine, but then I found the punk cover of "I Shot the Sheriff" and laughed out loud at it. It isn't like it is bad, I am just not sure driving the tempo that hard is all it takes to make something punk.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-87676414643631844462022-01-20T19:27:22.752+00:002022-01-20T19:27:22.752+00:00I seem to recall there are some Achievements in bo...I seem to recall there are some Achievements in both EQs that have seriously good rewards attached. I have a vague idea I was working towards some of them at one time although I can't remember if I ever got there. The huge majority, though, just have points and if tose points can be traded in for anything I never found out what it was. I probably should look into that...<br /><br />I really don't need any new high(ish) level characters in EQ but if they retrospectively upgrade the previously issued 85 freebies to be 100s I will definitely apply them to some of my 85s. 100 may not be endgame but it's a lot more useful than 85. As for the free armor, weapons, bags, potions etc (let alone the spells) I find it best not to even open the boxes at least until I'm sure I'm going to play the character. Otherwise it's just more clutter.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-90988569943461514972022-01-20T19:20:29.833+00:002022-01-20T19:20:29.833+00:00I hadn't heard that version - in fact I hadn&#...I hadn't heard that version - in fact I hadn't even heard of the Holly Cole Trio - so I went to YouTube and listened to it. Some of it, anyway. The comment thread is hyperbolic but I don't share the enthusiasm. Can't really beat the Johnny Nash original but the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgQwFair_cg" rel="nofollow">Screeching Weasel</a> punk version works surprisingly well, I think.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-85867628459340337322022-01-20T18:24:53.538+00:002022-01-20T18:24:53.538+00:00EverQuest has achievements.

Somewhere in my drafts folder I have a post about achievements and how some games make them work and others seem to drop the ball. <br /><br />I do wonder how the heroic character thing will play. I had a character I leveled up from 1 to 50 back at the 20th anniversary, then absolutely wrecked it by applying a freebie heroic upgrade. There are just too many spells and abilities... he was a cleric... and my spell book went from being awkward but manageable because I had leveled into the spells to being completely disorienting. If we get another freebie I'll give it a try when it is level 100.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-37570912403301837362022-01-20T18:05:55.087+00:002022-01-20T18:05:55.087+00:00It is a fairly nice list.
