Last time I played was right after the Kingdom of Sky expansion which was what, 3 years ago? There have been quite a few since, apparently. Stop posting about EQ2. You and Tipa are making me miss the place. /twitch Hehehe I kept thinking I’d be in the same boat if I went back to EQ2.

I have one friend that watches raid clips on YouTube even, before ever setting foot in a dungeon to be sure to already know all the pull strategies, good places to stand, etc. and he gets quite angry that we'd prefer to discover these things as part of the adventure. I just don't understand that mentality (and I know it can be boiled down to a bartle thing) and only rarely will I actively go to look something up. And even then, it's generally to a database like thottbot, not forums. Am I missing out? I suppose to some achievers I am, but I don't feel like I am. Nor do I feel lost. I'm on an adventure.

Luckily gaming bloggers are a much better crowd. (And you can easily unsubscribe if there is a problem...) I agree about gaming forums! Luckily gaming bloggers are a much better crowd.

I've been through so many games where I've spent days pouring over the forums to figure out where to go, what to do, and most importantly, how to be good at what I want to do when I get to where I want to go. I'm over it, and when people start making MMO's that don't require this sort of thing, I predict a mass exodus from other MMO's.
