Some thoughts on XP, Drops, etc.

[Wizzel]

I respect all of your opinions and I realize that it can basically be the same game as the original game and I realize both of you believe that the work myself and another are doing are a waste of time. All I ask is that you hold your judgment and give it a try. This isn't trying to recreate the first memory and the original feeling, it is about trying to play a game I once loved to play. Why do I load up SimCity 2000 every once in a while. Why don't I play SimCity 4. Simply put, newer doesn't mean better. Why do we always play Halo 1 when friends get together. Simply put, Halo 2 is not as exciting. I feel that if you asked a lot of people if they would play Everquest as it was, 1-50, Antonica, Odus and Faydwer for free, most would say yes.

You definitely got that. I am very much looking forward to what you are doing. And the rest is moot until then.

You got me there... I tend to look superficially at the game from a content point of view, and the nerfs/changes to the engine did have a profound effect on the game itself. Damn you for putting a rumple in my rant!
