It was a real casual guild as well. Filled with like young adults and 35 year olds. I was the youngest in the guild and this one mom helped me get to 60 and taught me how to play the game.

Eventually got into raids with them and became raid leader around Wotlk. They were really casual but super fun to play with.

but WoW was always a casual snoozefest. Ragnaros was first killed in April 2005, only 5 months after the game's launch (Nov 2004)

meanwhile in EQ, it took an average of playing 8 hours a day for a full year just to reach max level, then even more time to get gear to be raid ready. Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox weren't killed for almost 2 years after the game came out, because of how long it took to get 60-90 people raid ready.

Take your baby mode 40-man nonsense where all of the content in the game was conquered not even half a year after release out of here. WoW required very very little effort and skill on the part of the player compared to the Big Three (Ultima Online, EverQuest, Asheron's Call)

MMOs were targeted towards NEETs back then. (or kids who didn't go outside or had no friends)
That's why 8 hours of grinding a day every day was "acceptable". Gamers nowadays are too smart to accept that anymore. Now we just follow quest lines, rush through the small amount of content the developers let us have, and log off for the night.

I don't know why MMO players seem to conflate skill with effort all the time. It must be the blinders you're all wearing from playing a genre that requires very little actual mechanical or cognitive skill.

Having fast reflexes is a skill, being able to improvise or multitask under pressure is a skill. Grinding for a year is not skill, that's just -effort-

Can you paid shillers please stop this.
WoW died years ago its not the same.

Clueless new devs.
Sellouts.
No direction.
No community.
Dumbing down everything.
Butchered lore.
Meaningless talent and spec.
Meaningless areas outside of cities.
Stay in cities 24/7.
Loot ninja with people you wont meet again.
Flying everywhere.
Basically a singleplayer game.
Basically kungfu panda zootopia and pokemon fights.
2,000,000,000,000 hitpoints with 500,000,000,000 dps

Really, 'releasing' nostalgia server means discarding everything and start from outdated patches? Really?

As a last ditch effort, releasing a bland movie thats long due and using live actors?

Just let it die.

It's basically an arbitrary time gate, it's an arbitrary and quantitative (rather than qualitative) way to increase difficulty.

You're not going to convince me that any of those ancient MMOs required actual skill when they were basically slow paced, glorified text games.

I'm so fucking glad I never played EQ, considered how butthurt are you EFaggots and how much the game sucks. And I'm glad WoW forced most of his ideals/mechanics on other MMOs, otherwise I would never touched anything shitty as EQs clones, faggot. Only retards would like grinding like that, that's not even on korean level, it's much more and it reaches new levels of autism not yet seen on this planet. Good thing EQ2 died too then.

Whatever floats your boat man, but they don't require any skill in the modern context. You might have to grind, or there might have been complicated in-game systems to learn, but that's just 'effort' and 'research' when it comes down to it.

They just aren't marketable 'skills' in this day and age where it's all about mechanics.

See: how even normies appreciate a game like starcraft because mechanical skill is 'cool', while no one will give a fuck if you're the best in civ or EVE, you just look like a dork.

If you hadn't grinded your spellcasting (mana regenned slow as fuck if you didn't have clarity/breeze buffs that jews charged you for if you lacked an enchanter (class) or cleric/etc friend you would have to sit on your thumb recasting spells of the same subgroup of spells over and over again to gradually (extremely gradually to get to 200/200 cap or whatever it was at the time) you had a decent change to *fizzle* your fucking spell, losing the mana and having to recast the shit again.

Nothing really assisted with mana regen other than sitting and 'meditating' which at first meant you had to have your spellbook open like a fucking tard until they made it a passive ability, that also leveled + items.

So there was a chance to fuck up your casts for buffs in EQ. Not defending it, but that's how it was.

Everquest is still fun desu.
Take a look at it's map design, and compare it to World of Shitcraft. I hate the fucking trend to making every single map just another open field with slightly different landmarks.

EQ had fucking hidden tunnels, sewers you enter after falling into a well, massive cave networks with false walls, forests that felt enclosed like forests should.
I wish more MMOs had map design with some effort put in.

EQfags are the worst, but I would've loved to play EverQuest in it's heyday, or for something like it to be released nowadays.

The way it was designed ensures that you can't cheese anything. If you wanted to play the game, you had to git gud and find out what to do yourself.

Just started on kronos 2 - it's quite fun actually, as I just started when they changed the servers and it works smoothly.

Also population on it is around 2k I think which is idea for vanilla, it has healthy amount of players - so you won't have to wait forever on shit - and you will always have someone to party for quest elites.

I'm looking for a tbc realm tho - but can't find a pristine one.

This is correct. While technically not from any game it originated in EQ where the level up sound was a bell ringing sounding like a ding.

Wildstar had to learn a very important lesson: Casuals keep the lights on. Hardcore raiders might be the loudest and most active players but they're being outnumbered by casuals 100:1 so providing content solely for the 1% is only fine as long as you keep the other 99% in mind.
