let me rephraise a few things wiz, since english isnt your first language you probly translate alot of the text wrong ( ive seen people like you on the net, they know engllish perfectly by the dictionary and kno every word in the universe and talk like a professer, but cant understand a damn sentence.)
Superiority through condenscating tone does not work. If anything, you're the one that is butchering your own language.

what i said was no planar armor for a few months lol, anyway, i didnt even get 50 till kunark came out, i never had the pleasure of reaching 50 and waiiting around for kunark. perhaps thats why i would like to play old world again, and you would not, because i didnt fully expierence it eheh.
Yeah, planar armor is what I meant too.

Quote:
its not hard when there ubar. any kind of stat gear should be considered leet. thats the point of the servr, if you like how eq is now where you dont even check if items are magic anymore than have fun.
+2 DEX is still like 0.1% proc rate. Try not to quote so incredibly selectively. Point not refuted.

Quote:
wr is your ideal image of eq? lol thats lame man, lame.
Personal attack. WR is my project that is aiming towards my ideal image of EQ. It is far from complete. I refer you back to argumentative school, because you fail on the quiz.

Quote:
i dont yearn for EQlive. EQlive is the pos made by the EQlive team after mcquaid went to sigil and trost/ smedley and the rest went to wrok on eq2

and i go on live all the time and do quests without allakazam, its fun, if people want to ruin there fun they can.
I'm pretty sure you know what I meant. You yearn for the original EQlive. You're just arguing a different point than what I said (people WILL use allakhazam) because you can't refute that one.

Quote:
the point is, obtaining those items on an original server would be an acomplishment, its ubah, while on a live server would be something you sell to a merchant as junk. not to mention lvl 20 on a live server is nothin but a day at paludal, and for the first 10 lvls you dont have to worry about any risk or challenge at all.
No, killing a giant snake is not much of an accomplishment at all. It might be a decently useful lowbie item, but knowing what I know now, I could easily get 20 in a day on a Classic server that perfectly emulated EQclassic.

you know the answer to all 3. i wont waste my time.
Yup, I do.

Quote:
ah god damn stfu u kno exactly what i mean lol
So? It still wasn't logical, it was an appeal to nostalgia. I could apply that to anything, for example:

"We still haven't had a REAL milennia shift for four years, so I suggest we set back all calendars to 1999 again."

Quote:
thats not the whole quote and is taken out of contex.. you were saying eq original would not be as fun if we played now. now read my quote
Yes, I did. And I backed up my point with a lot of logic that you have yet to refute. And the rest of the quote was ad hominems, so I think I did you a favor in taking it "out of context". You claimed a paragraph consisting of two ad hominems and a single statement of personal bias was logical reasoning? Wtf?

Quote:
get it now? i wasnt saying eqclassic is the best it can get, as in best game in the world.. geez...

btw, this is what REALLY went down

A) i luv brocolli, but ive already eatin it and allakazam.com had discovered every inch of it, so i dont want to eat it again
B) Oh come on, if I gave you broccoli you know you would eat it. its still the same broccoli u had before, and not everyone had eatin it all.
A) rahhhhr projecting kids ad hominem argue points not person make a point an back it up pete owns bob at soccro teh ubar rowr
That is quite possibly the worst analogy I have ever seen. Ever. You're comparing what you can "investigate" and "spoil" in a piece of food compared to what you can investigate in a game that was built around the very core of a vision that stated players should not have access to any extended amounts of information. Not to mention it's not the same brocolli at all. Not even remotely, because of all the client changes (but since your eyes will start glazing over when reading this sentence and jump to the next one that wouldn't shatter your faith, why do I bother?). And BTW, trying to dismiss the fact that you suck at arguing with a childish "I'm so cool this means nothing lol" doesn't work either.

p.s. im not trying to sound intelegent
Good. You're not.

Quote:
, or trying to be a leet forum dude, or get respect, or penis envy, or like a master argueer, or like i know what im talking about, im just trying to tell people why an eq classic server is still worthwhile. This would go alot smoother on irc i think =)
Yeah, unfortunately, the only points you have stated so far are:

"Because."

and

"Because you suck."

You've provided nothing but personal bias and personal attacks on my own project throughout the entirety of this post. Your hint that I'm doing this to try to be a cool forum dood is pretty pathetic too. Let me just explain this as simple as possible. When you're trying to convince a person of an opposite stance, you need to provide plenty of reasoning - see my original post, and the amount of people who said it changed their views. If I had written as you, it would have been something like this:

"EQclassic doesn't work beacuse WR ROCKS man and you know it you know you want to play WR hahaha you're a freak and you KNOW that EQclassic sucks you KNOW it."

How many people would be convinced, do you think?

You get an F- on your test. And I'm still amazed at the stupidity of that analogy.
