I quit my EQ1 chars about 18m ago to spend some time on WOW, EQ2, Guild Wars.
I found each of these games very good at the time and often thought they were a great improvement on EQ1. Recently however, I have had a strange urge to return to EQ1 and I have been dreaming of two-boxing my Shammy and Warrior in POI, Veksar etc.
I have a few questions raleting to issues which contributed to my decision to leave EQ1:
Harsh death penalties
If I died two-boxing deep into Veksar I was usually unable to get a rez and either waited for my corpse to rot or paid a rogue an extortionate amount of money for a corpse-drag. (I know I could have asked guildies howeevr I always found myself reluctant to ask for their help). There is an arguement, I suppose, that the harsher the death-penalty the more exciting the game, however I considered the hours of downtime excessive.
Time consuming travel
The return-run from Veksar to the nearest town would take over an hour (two-boxing). Have their been further changes since POP to the travel system (so not including the POP books and LDON camps)?
LDONs
Plainly speaking, if I could have found a way to 2-box LDONs, I may not have left EQ1. Any thoughts on how to do this? Also has there been any significant content added for two boxers (levels 58 and 65).
Apologies for any similar previous posts and if these answers are on a sticky somewhere I'd appreciate a link, otherwise I'd be extremely grateful for any replies.
