The low level player you buff on your way to a dungeon may in fact have a high level main who recognizes your kindness and helps you in the future. what this article says to me is what project 1999 needs to become better is a new server every now and then and maybe even closing servers that have too many lvl 60’s that cant do anything else but even without closing old servers new ones would attract people who are willing to start over and compete for the top spots. However, EQ really takes things to the extreme and who gets penalized the most are not the high level players who have no problems getting mana buffs, it’s the lower level players who suffer the most. Sadly, the graphically inferior, convenience laden, anti-social, single-player friendly EverQuest of today run by Daybreak Games bears little resemblance to classic EQ circa 1999-2001.

Regarding the problem of finding honest and trustworthy guides, I don’t blame the CSRs, I blame management. The high level of social interaction in P1999’s Norrath is a classic example of the genius of the human trait of reciprocity. To remedy this SOE/Verant created something called a zone experience modifier (ZEM). That *was* classic EQ too. Players help other players on P1999 and often newbies players are given assistance by experienced players such as items, money, buffs, assistance and advice. I haven’t played much in awhile but I definitely started looking back at the server when the entire issue in CSR arose. There were a LOT of factors leading to my quitting staff. This kind of practice is dishonest and it’s a violation of trust.

Even SOE/Verant realized they screwed up with this and within a few months of the release of EQ they created an entire quest zone called the Temple of Solusek Ro for the purpose of giving every class (except druids and a few others) a way to quest for weapons and armor free from the arduous task of camping and farming named mobs.
