I agree. Flags really kept people who didn't know what the fuck they were doing out of areas where knowing what the fuck your doing is #1 priority.Though it also does open the door for those who do know what the fuck they're doing, but are unable to get there through means of being in a guild. Like myself and many other good players of the game.

If its really crowded, people start camping:

I suspect the "crowded only" camps will become normal camps :\

Like geeron said, the flags kept people who didn't know what they where doing, or went out of their way to be a prick out of most of the zones.
It is allready pretty easy to get into POV as it is. And that place is train central. If you thought black burrow was bad for trains, wait till you see COD trains.
There was and is a system for people who can not raid to get into those planes through quests. They where kind of big and hard to do. But the rewards where worth it. I am really looking foward to the other changes though.
On the matter of opening the 2nd tier+ planes to the public, I think this is a very bad idea. While I'm sure SoE's intentions are noble, it just won't work if you have a massive flood of players rushing into a new zone. Besides, I'm sure the players would find it more worthwhile to actually earn their way into the planes, instead of getting a free ride like SoE is doing.

I'm sure Plane of Time is on their agenda though, but they have to think of the majority of the player base (I.E. Revamps of zones, class balancing, etc.) before thinking of some arrogant guild (I.E. tuning a zone only a few guilds have gotten into.)
He didn't ask for them to revamp the zone. Just to allow more than three groups to zone in at one time, especially since it takes 80ish people to get flagged.
And maybe you don't understand the situation. They made the Rathe absolutely impossible to kill for months, all while patching Time every patch months after the expansion came out and should have been done in the first place. Then they finally zone in and Time A is nothing but NPCs that can't be targetted at all, and Time B only allows 18 people to do the events after 80 people worked their asses off to get there. Time is not "on their agenda", because they just got done finishing the zone not even four days ago.(When the Rathe was patched to be killable and Time was patched for the last time, nevermind that PoP came out in.. October?)

I'm pretty sure he's the leader of one of the Super-uber Guilds in EQ. Because he leads such a Guild, he's one of the better known players in EQ.

I hope you're right. Actually, I'm sure you're right. If that guild goes away, there will be that many fewer people trying to do PoT, making the 18 character limit that much more reasonable.

About the flag changes, Jesus Christ you guys are making it sound like Valor / Storms / Tactics / HoH / CoD are bastions of skill and intellect. There is a fair share of skilless idiots in Fire on some servers where the zergling waves nixed rallos, don't group with them, get over it. I'd love for the zone population to stay down so I can solo easier too, but it's not like the sky is coming down.
Geeorn, get over yourself, 'busting your ass' doing a 15 minute ring that lvl 60 groups were able to do without any pop gear and AA doesn't make you special.
Don't fool yourself, Furor is not a drop of water in the sea, he is the guildleader of the most well known guild in everquest, he is probably the most well known player in Everquest, he owns the most popular Everquest site on the net that handles a terrabyte of data just about everquest and probably has 10000+ hits an average day.
I can understand that this doesn't mean anything to the casual player, but it is definitly not a mundane thing happening, and I can assure you that there are many more high end guilds on the verge of disbanding over this shit (mine is too). EQ is just about over (for the high end player at least it is)
And I'm just glad i don't xp anymore in tier 3 zones, Tactics was kind of retard free since the flag was kind of hard to get, it will now be full with dr00ds kiting ogres in the hall -- I don't want to sound like an elitist asshole about this : I know it will allow skilled players that didn't have a raid guild to enjoy new zones, and I don't mind this, at all, what i mind is that because there is no selection anymore at then entrance, players that were kept out because they suck will be allowed to go in.
Fal - there has been for a few months now a feature that allows unflagged people to raid with flagged people, as long as there are more than 85% flagged people in the raid. Which means you could still raid with your old guild even if you did not have access to the zones they raided in. [ 05-10-2003: Message edited by: Kildace ]

Yada yada yada... just like everyone was about to quit because of problems with Velious. Just like everyone was about to quit because of problems with Luclin. Just like everyone was about to quit because of problems with PoP. Furor's just lining himself up to take a nice mouthful of foot.
I can't think of one expansion where SOE had their shit together wrt. the uber zone of the expansion by the time people got to it (in fact, Irontaail spent an entire summer in a broken Plane of Mischief hoping they'd fix it). PoTime will be fixed just like all the others were -- and a couple disgruntled players might quit over it, but I seriously doubt mass defections will occur.

Kunark was fully working. Vellious was fully working, only the loot was a tad unbalanced in NToV and it was quickly fixed. Luclin and PoP were massive clusterfucks.
I know for a fact that people are quitting, when I join the serverwide chats most people say that they are only hanging on because of their guild right now, but that they don't see themselves playing in 2 months. I canceled my account 3 weeks ago, most of my guild officers are saying that they will quit EQ once we clear time once. This is the end of high end EQ, every uber player agrees on this. Furor might be throwing a tantrum but what he's saying is very true, and experienced daily by the top 5% population of every server.

This is so wrong it's not even funny. I know a lot of guilds, guilds with mostly casual players that play 3 nights a week that are flagged for everything but elemental planes. Of course not everyone is flagged for the ele planes, but not everyone had a VT key back in the days either. Yes there is backflagging to do, but guess what, you can still raid without backflagging if you use the raid feature, and the backflagging targets also drop interesting loot. Moreover, for people with friends in small guilds that didn't have the strength to kill gods, there was the option to quest your way through all the Tier 2 planes. With one balanced group you can get access to HoH, CoD, PoV, PoS, PoTactics, with two solid groups you could access BoT. It allowed the casual player to be able to group with his friends and weeded out the friendless idiot level 47 newbie / griefer.
But hey what do I know, I've only been spending all my online time in PoP since it came out. [ 05-10-2003: Message edited by: Kildace ]

I seem to remember watching over you in Paludal Caverns before that when you were like, in your 20's...
Now you're 62. Might be nice to be in such a PL-capable guild - heck, my guild couldn't carry out a raid on the kitchen sometimes. We sure as heck can't get flagged for tier 2 PoP zones ourselves.
I'm just glad because I was dreading going into PoJ begging for a trials group because you know what? That was the only was I was gonna get flagged for PoV -to get to level 60 and humiliate myself further than I do trying to get groups in Tier 1, for crissake.
So, am I a dumbfuck assfucker because I wasn't PL'ed from 24 to 62 in the time it took Mightion to get from 52 to 57? Nice epic, by the way.

In fact, I vote we see what they have right now.

Kunark and Vellious WERE fully working. Class balance was maybe skewed (rangers come to mind) but by the time it was accessed NToV was working, Vp was working, Trak was working, VS was working, the ST event was working. And the flaws there were are nowhere near what happened with PoP where an encounter was left broken for more than 3 months because the end zone was not finished.
