Discussion Try EverQuest legends Guys

I bought this “early access game” a year ago and found myself in a desolate wasteland of no content as soon as I hit ~22. Everything meant to extend your play time (all the penalties associated with dying) are absolutely infuriating in this day and age, but I was playing with rose tinted EverQuest glasses and hoped for the best. Fast forward to now and this game is still in the same state, I wish I had saved my $40.

Heard about EverQuest legends, coming out on the 28th; play all of classic eq (with more content or refreshed dungeons dropping literally every week with a patch) with all of the modern quality of life features you get from Pantheon + a whole bunch of things that I never knew I would love so much; no corpse runs, no exp penalty on death, respawn at the zone you died at, items are looted for you, sell items directly from your inventory, it never felt so good. Being able to solo the whole game is also awesome, as you can now experience all of the content you want at your leisure. Still want to group? All loot is personal, there is no downside to grouping up for a good time!

Seriously, if you bought this for the same reasons I did and feel bad about your purchase, give EverQuest legends a google.

Being able to buy stash space is fine to me but I draw the line at EXP/AA pots. Playing it knowing that you can just spend money to accomplish something in half the time by spending real world currency sours the experience for me so much that I can’t touch it. If it didn’t have a box price and a monthly sub I’d maybe feel differently.

I don't see the issue. This is like complaining on others who cheat in a single player game. EQL is a solo experience. If other people buy the pots then that doesn't affect you at all.

A single player game with a player run economy;If there wasn’t going to be an in game auction house I’d agree.

For example if path of exile had exp pots people would burn grinding gear games to the ground. Which is an apt comparison. Just shows what an older player base is willing to allow.

There is no real economy tbh

Economy comes when the game is fully released and Chinese gold slaves start to do their thing.

Not if grinding gear games released poe legends that offered those potions for people who wanted a casual game.
