i played EQ for 3 years, and I finally quit half year ago before PoP.
the reason i quit is because i got hacked and i couldnt find any GM, i tried for almost a month, i emailed more than 300 emails and everytime a different GM request informations, i email back with my infos and some other GM picked it up and say they need more. i got really furastrated and quit the game, thats where i started to hate SOE.
I have been waiting for GMs 3 day straight in game and none shows up, camp for items more than 5 days, lucky i m not cleric because my friend camped for ragefire for almost 3 straight weeks. before kunark the game was pure fun, where everyone group and other, after kunark it was still fun, where they added epic we thought was finishing the game and work hard on it, but thats where the "camp" started, but it was still fun where we kill mobs and stuff, but after velious level seems everything that matters, people have to keep farming items to make themselves "perfect" instead of enjoying, but for n00bs its still fun since they never realized how much time you have to spend just to keep your gear up to date, and the armor you use to be the best now is no where near a twink item, SSoY was the best item before kunark and nowdays a level 1 bard is wielding it, very common, lot of level 1 bards have better twink items.
where is the fun at? i tried to quit for long time, where i end up playing more, i wasnt guilded for pretty long time due to the bad reputation on training people, i really didn't mind since i have better items than most people on my server, i was a monk, and other people just wish they had my items. there are bugs that VI never fix that can make up to 67k plat an hour, i dont know that bug but i surely made over 17.5k an hour, that was my record and keep my plat coming fast. n00bs farming items day by day, night by night and not realizing VI really dont care if you exploit bugs, n00bs always have fun in any game, i play WC3 now and i hate n00bs on my team that has 23 wins and 500 losses, well, they have fun.
and oneday i decide to take a break, few days later i found out i got hacked finally made me quit, it was a bad thing i lost all my items, but i really thank that guy who hacked me becuase he really saved my life, i tried to go into other games but none are out, and finally SWG was about to beta phase it charges me 11.98 for beta CD, i was like WTF, i paid 3 bucks for warcraft 3 beta CD and paid none for E&B by downloading.
then i look upon SWG's forum, they are really slowly mind washing people to get into the game, the way they do it is really trying to get people to like the game, of course it is highly developed game and you can say probaly have some new battle system but seriously, they reveal the content little by little, giving whats not suppose to give just add curiousity to players that will end up paying maybe 20 bucks per month.
they say they are giving a Single Char per server service now, by the time they say fine we are giving multi char per server, the players will actually thank for them for what players are suppose to get, money is all they want, and they want to spend as little as possible....
I am looking forward for World of Warcraft, i played starcraft for 4 years and still getting same customer service when i started, 7 million SC being sold, and WC3's storyline really amaze me. oh well, good luck for those still playing EQ
