I never made it to a sleeper raid.  However it points out the real reason I don\'t play anymore.

EQ is all about killing mobs, lots of mobs, and bigger mobs.  They have tried with the tradeskills, the new player houseing, and some forms of PvP, but they all take a second seat to the PvE mob killing.

The next generation games look to be more strategic in nature.  They are focusing on Controlling resources, forming Nations, building cities, and reallistic economies I hope PS is one of these games.

back to the good stuff...

EQ sux cause
A warrior in full plate can swim as fast as a mage in his underwear.  When is the last time you saw someone float on top of the water in a full set of armor???

Resurected from the dead because I like this post.

EQ sux because your NPC wizzard trainer can put his fist through your chest for 200 points of damage but when you punch you hit for 5 points and can not hit a the side of a wooly mamoth with your fist!

Uuuuhhh...what???  First of all, all guild masters (not GM\'s, different) in EQ can ram their fist through you for 200 points of damage, not just the wizard one.  Second, it\'s called a hand to hand skill.  Yes, with 0 hand to hand skill you will hit for 5 and not be able to hit a wooly mammoth.  However, if you are, say, a monk with your hand to hand maxed at 65 (or is it 70 now..) you can at least give that gm a run for his money.

Oh, and the only reason I don\'t like EQ is because of the autoattack combat and, for the most part, dumb ai.  Other than that it is awesome.
