THIS REALLY SUCKS!!! i dont like complaining a lot and i dont like hearing others complain, but i have been over seas in iraq for quite a while, and now that i am back, all of my stuff is gone, and with all of the prices going back up, how is a naked ogre supposed to get back to his rich lil life with no equipment? SOE needs to quit putting such an influence on the bazaar and more on questing, it is after all everQUEST

I used to play EQ....I hated every minute..only got a warrior ( worst class in EQ ) to 50.

I heard all these stories about how they were great once you hit 60+...but that never came...I died one too many times to a freaking -easy- con, and i just quit one day.

The thing about EQ is that it has gone WAY to far in every respect.

90% of the people on servers are like ultra bipolar patients at a psych ward. They will pretend to be nice, but the minute you do something they don't like -BAM- you've been blacklisted for life and from ever joining so and so's magical guild.

don't get me wrong, I'm no newbie...I don't shout around zones about the hypocritical attitudes of these same 90% of the server...I keep quiet, i learn about things, i play the game.

But having spent a casual 6 months leveling that warrior, with no twinking, at all... I found EQ to be nothing more than a pathetic existence..

The Planes were supposed to be the last expansion...HAH !

The economy ? The economy has broken since the 2nd year of the game's release.

As for class balance...theres no winning arguement...all I ever wanted was for my WARRIOR to be able to the job of a traditional WARRIOR. Hack a guy with a sword and kill him. Atleast a freaking EASY CON ! seriously...

Anyways, I've played UO, DAoC, Planetside, Galaxies, and currently FFXI since EQ, and I must say...EQ is by far, a deeper game, with many more facets to it........but I have gladly given up the corruption for the -clean- FFXI world....

....What I'm really trying to say....

The only thing that can possibly "fix" Everquest is Everquest II...but i fear that the plague of it will be the horde of corruption awaiting it's release... ( not trying to sound all LOTR here, its just the truth )

yes please. what is the tribute system?

Letter to SOE

Well here I sit on another interesting EQ evening.
1. It has take me 5 min to even get on
2. On less time than it took to login and I ‘m trying again
3. Now I start over
4. Wooot I’m in again no I out again tried to zone!!!!!
5. Finally in again great now I get in some game time, damn out again stupid me tried to zone again
6. Well here I am again I have logged in 4 times to cross 3 zone ( each login several min) sitting in POK
7. Now I’m out again what an exciting evening I am having could have been watching paint dry.

Now ask yourself. Is this your idea of a way to spend an evening? Be real honest now. I am not you average junkie player (I don’t think). I have had to schedule my time carefully to have this bit of an evening to relax and do something I really enjoy. I go to the server status section of your web sight tells me all servers are up, I try to login and everything is locked. Can you see anything wrong here? If you were to have some indication on your web sight that there were problems than I could have spent my time with a good book or movie rather than being played like an idiot in front of computer screen, trying to get into a game that is screwed “again”.

It would be oh so nice if you would show just a smidgen of appreciation for the value of you customers times. After all not all of us are the bug-eye junkie type with no life other than EQ (maybe this is how you see your customers).

As I see it Sony has become so driven by expansions that you are failing to fix what is wrong with the old before moving on. You are now head long into new expansion, and you have 3 or 4 old ones that are not working. You have competitors out there now putting out maybe not a superior product but one that at least it work when if goes live. How long is it now since you actually had a patch that worked? You go live with problems that you know were on test yet neglecting to fix them. Than down the road when you decide to fix an on going problem you end up causing hours of play time going to waste, can you not see time is of value? It does not matter what product or service you sell in the end it is always the one that respects the customer and functions with the least trouble for the customer that will win out in the end.

Sony gets paid their monthly fee if I play 1 hour that month or 101 hours. Now I would feel much better, and less upset and stressed with Sony if I could actually play for my time. Not be dying due to lag and LDing, not spending a large portion of my scheduled game time logging in and getting booted. I guess my concern is (as I love EQ) how long do you actually expect to be able to maintain you present level of clients, when the quality of your product continues to fall. My fear is when you wake up to smell the coffee my game will be no more. When it starts to lose money someone is going to pull the plug than I will be forced to move on. My decision is now do I stick with a sinking ship investing my time, or do I abandon ship and go invest my time with something I can see that may have a longer future.

As a customer purchasing quality leisure time, I feel I should have some value to Sony Online Entertainment INC. To me my time is valuable; I could be finding a better bang for my buck.

I hope you do not take this as a threat. I and a group of other players are considering starting a movement on line among existing players to boycott the purchase of any further new expansions until the issues with the old ones are dealt with. We are talking major fixes not just a few crumbs to make look like thing are getting worked on when your major effort is really expansion oriented.

I would like as some feed back on this idea here. As consumers of a product this seems to be our only option to force Sony Online Entertainment INC. to pay attention. Our only real power is in our purchase power. Come on people if we don’t buy them they won’t make them thus will have some time to fix the old problems before they move on. Do we really have the will power to stick to our gun or are we going to continue to feed Sony Online Entertainment INC. our cash and continue to only *****?

Well I do hope I have not totally wasted my evening as I am still unable to get on EQ so must go this evening was non event as far a EQ goes.

Please free to use this to post on other sites as i would like to see this become a movement

You got vex thal key from casino if thats the case that is great considering how long it would take to do the quest not to mention you need to be in a nice guild or know alot of friends. Btw how did this end up costing you?

My friend was in Frontier Mountains when the server crashed on him. When he got back on he was in the middle of the zone somewhere and fell to his death for 20k damage. Of course he couldn't get ahold of a GM and lost level 55 over this. We also can't find his corpse. I can't make a corpse tracker since all 8 of my slots are taken.

We both are starting to look at other MMORPG games. I am really sick of paying $13 a month to be SOE's Beta Tester. There is no excuse for all this crap. If they would quit worrying about new targeting systems, updating spells effects (again), nerfing Warrior disc's, and making expansions every 3 months they could fix the problems they have now. This is now the 3rd time between me and my friend someone has died and been unable to recover there exp over game bugs (the other 2 times involved broken boats).

Ever notice how anytime something messes up on there end it always HURTS a player. Whens the last time you heard of somebody getting exp when the servers crashed? They make sure it screws you over if nothing else.

Sorry I sound so negative all the time, but ever since that October patch it has been one big mess.

Yep, i got a scepter of shadows in the casino.
No long, crappy, boring camps for me.
Now.. If only i had 30 or so friends with the same key..

Well in the grand tradition of every post-expansion announcement patch since PoP, the servers are hosed so badly that they had to bring them all down for a third time... How does it feel alpha testing the Gates of Discord code? I know it makes me feel like I've been scammed out of a monthly fee....

Sorry, just venting. I spent the morning helping people do 1017-related CRs and now I'm locked out of my weekly experience group. :-(

All I have to say is that I need to have a job at that casino. Think about it, the dealers worked for 1 day! Now they get to take a Christmas vacation!! WOW! With odds like this, I could really enjoy that job!

Maybe I am just not understanding the Plat situation. How is the influx of plat from the cheaters any different than if someone has stashed away 500,000 plat from buying low & trading high and taken it out of the trade system for 6-7 months and then drop it back in by twinking an alternate ? Are you trying to say that per server there is ONLY, let's say for example, 300 million platinum pieces. Once 300 million platinum have been found mobs stop dropping plat ?
Someone plese explain this.


Thanks

Well that stinks...I was hoping the casino would get rid of some of that hacker money that was floating around
