I was one of those oldskoolers thinking i was da shit when a GM offered me a pair of Ro boots for my pally if i did a little quest for him. Oh, and when I got my first Wurmslayer.
*Sniff* I'll never forget that.
But thats why I started the NeverQuest Project. I am making Classic EQ in the Neverwinter Nights Engine. When it is done I know the playerbase will be through the roof. It plays a lot different from EQ yet still gives you the old timey feel of EQ.
Not to be plugging my project or anything.. It has been in development for over a year and has over a year to go. But this is a way I choose to Keep EQ Classic alive in my heart. And the way I want my children to experience it.
We can keep the feeling alive but we have to move on from believing that the thrill will come from old rehashed content.
Great point in this thread. It kinda made me sad because I was trying not to admit to myself the reality of never being excited about Ro Boots and a Wurm Slayer again :(
