And I hear it is the same old graphics. I just can't get into that

I don't care about graphics, game play to me is more important.
But newer EQ1 has better graphics, these are the original graphics, that is the whole point of eq1-L

Literal textures from 1999 release

The reason it had those graphics was because the GPU's of the day.. was all they could handle. Dont get me wrong. I still love eq.. and am having fun playing EQL.. but this is Daybreak.. not Verant.. This is a cash grab plain and simple trying to get nostalgia to make a few bucks. If they really wanted to make something.. I think they would have updated the graphics. I dont know. to me it just seems they are doing the bare minmum to get something to market and make a few bucks.

Maybe, but I bet it was also quite a bit of work to get it to work.
A lot of people want classic versions of old games, it's kind of the theme.

I think this is because the modern games suck.. I know I said it.. Today's games cater to the causual gamer.. who has 20 mins a day to play and they seem geared around that fact. Get in, play for a few mins and log out. Games of yesterday.. they were hard core.. death runs? gone, camping.. gone.. Part of what made those games memorable.. was those difficulties..

yea, I agree. I think EQL so far has a good mix

I do not have time like I did as a kid to do deathruns and crap anymore.

So it's nice

Did you ever play eq when it has the "monster play" ?

where you would spawn as monster.. in some random zone

2005 that was, so yea I probably messed around wiht it, but that was 21 years ago lol.

We would get together, and level up the level 1 spider to 5 or so.. and camp newbiew.. Ahh. those were the days.... Yea I'm probably the reason they discontinued it. hehe
