I'd say something witty and insulting.. but your forum name speaks volumes regarding your appreciation for lore and RP.

Not sure what people expect from MMO lore.. some expect WoT style novels written while others would prefer a button on launch "Click here to login and kill shit". There is no in between.. but Vhalen did a fine job trying to find a compromise.

Flaming.. as far as your unproductive contribution to this thread...

The lore as it is in this game, is a paragraph of dead words that spam your screen one bubble at a time when you press H. You barely interact with it or leave a ripple.

Don't find yourself fixing things out of fear that you should have fixed out of love.

That'll drop the wage bill a tad for them then. They can do what most other companies do; leave the role open for a year then bring in some poor bastid that has a week to get up to speed on a lower salary

Agreed, once the first few people figure out a quest, and the quest is available on eq2i, they may aswell remove all the dribble and give you the item/xp/gold you've quested for.

Who says we asked Vennys RPers what they think? EQ2s lore is garbage.

I wasn't talking about lore when I posted that... What I was referring to was the way in which he posted that he was leaving. I suppose he wanted to leave in a way that seemed fitting for the job he did while there, but he could have also just said:

"Well, the time for me to move on has come. It's been a great X years working in the Everquest world, and blah blah..." He didn't have to go all nuts RP in his farewell post.

That's what made us dumber.

And I do love a good book. Just doesn't seem right when people are mixing it with real life "I'm leaving" statements. That's almost on par with LARPers I'd imagine.

I'm surprised to see a worthless piece of shit like you posting on EQ2Flames again. You disappeared after getting your shit shoved down your throat by so many people here, and then you went back to sucking Gnobrain's cock after SOE disavowed any connection with EQ2Flames.

But you're back, and still a fucked up SOE ass kisser. What did Smedley's rectum taste like this morning?

The lore is something most people never care for. To some, they act like the speed with which they can clear chat bubbles will register on their parser... ...and thats fine. We all pay to play, so others can't tell us what we should enjoy about the game.

With that said, if you don't like the lore, then why the fuck would you read this thread? Try this... Read it. Don't care. Move on.

Your EQ2 badass pose fails in so many ways that your mother is sitting at home right now punching herself in the cunt for the shame.
