Topic: What would you pay 40 dollars for?
Khyron
Hello, my mushy friend...
posted 02-06-2002 03:54:20 PM
Just as I was sitting here thinking, I thought to myself... Since obviously I wouldn't like to pay 40 bucks a month for legends (20, I would pay gladly ), what would it take for the rest of you to move to legends? What would it take for the 40 bucks a month to be worth it?

And please, stay away from the 'fix my class' or 'fix this mob' or whatever threads. I'm looking for serious, honest stuff.

And yes, I'm seriously thinking of moving to legends, but I haven't decided yet for certain.

I already pay $60 a month to VI.... I don't see them getting much more from me unless we're talking about being move to an "assmunch-free" server....

I still don't think I'd pay $40 per account though.... maybe for 2 or 3... but not all 6

EQ lost its appeal for me long ago. And I doubt I'd pay $40 a month for any online game.

$40 is chump-change to me, but I prefer real experiences to virtual ones.

Really... I dont know... Im actually pretty happy with the game im playing now. I do like some of the things they are adding, but I (personally) dont find them worth 40$. And there isnt much they could add that would. Again, just IMO. Im sure there are people who would like to see /such and such/ added, and pay for it, nothing wrong with that.

1. get rid of the online profile/guildhall, thats allready free here

2. have a changing events ( towns get razed, slowly settle ment builds up, finally gets up to its former glory, and have theis things based on what people do)

3. figure out a way to get poeple to go to thoes great baonded zones that im always hanging in and nnever able to find a group in

4. more pie

I would want it to be like REAL. I would move if, an orc invasion on Freeport was successful, and Freeport became an Orc city, dead human bodies would be everywhere, and orcs would populate it, and it'd be up to allies and such to take it back. And also, any class could be any race.

THAT would be cool

I'd pay fourty bucks for a Norrath with almost no mobs that see invis, that always forget you when you stand up from a feign death (unless you're still in visual distance), stats that have a noticible effect on your performance.

What they've got going now doesn't sound too bad.

In fact, I might even give it a shot. If you check out the FAQ section at everquest.com, it says you can start and terminate your Legends account at any time.

They transfer your characters to the legends server for free when you activate, and transfer them back to your original server when you're done, and you get to keep all the exp, faction, and even items you got there.

Kinda like paying thirty bucks to play on a cool server for a month.

Iksar Pally would be cool, I for one would make a Half-Elf SK. I've ALWAYS thought a Half-Elf SK would be kickass, they look evil in black plate

The server would be FULL of Ogre/Troll/Gnome monks though >_<

It would take a majority of my guild, and my friends, moving to make me even consider going to another server, Legends or not.

Previously-broken spells to be fixed.

Root spell line put on the same resist/stick/break table as Snare spell line.

Stats that mean something.

DoT/DD damage upgraded to be on the same godly level as melee.

A lot of the suggestions sound like stuff that is in Shadowbane. In that, your guild could take over the world, though it is highly doubtful. The game does look quite |337 though.

You mean Horizons is actually going to be released...? It looks like a good game, but it really is in a very iffy situation right now...it was doing good...untill they fired the entire staff and basically said: "Hmm...why don't we redesign the whole game."

Hopefully.

I hope their new design doesn't spoil the RP aspect of it too much. I was looking forward to RP'ing a Demon, ripping the kiddies to shreds with my bare hands.

SB looks more and more interesting the more I think about it, and Horizons does less. Honest to god, what the hell are those people doing over there? BTW, I still remember Drysart saying that HZ would never be released. He also he said he'd do something if it was. Hmm.

Oh lordy! Can you Imagine EQ like that? A group of DE only guilds taking over Norrath?! Oh...it would be waaaay to cool, can you imagine it, a group of Goodies ambushing a DE dignitary at night in the forest and holding him ransom...oooh *drools some more*

I will buy this game! When's it coming out?
