Masochists Anonymous of Norrath (MAN for short)

On April 27, 2011, in Monologue, by Cerias Shadows

Welcome! My name is Cerias Shadows and I am a Masochist! Come join MAN (Masochists Anonymous of Norrath) Thats right I said Norrath not Azeroth.

  • Do you like completing quests with no exclamation points or question marks or detailed route maps that do everything but move your character for you?
  • Do you enjoy a sense of danger that comes with real danger?
  • How about mobs that are capable of beating you down if you get too cocky?
  • A world that really feels… big?
  • Feeling… Lost?
  • Retro 1999 Graphics?

If so, I want you to join my group MAN. Thats right Come play Everquest on the Progression Server Vulak ‘Aerr. (Fippy Darkpaw was too crowded for my tastes) Come marvel at a game world that captivated… no… captured hundreds of thousands… literally… they were so addicted they couldn’t leave.

Feel for the first time what it truly means to get loot. Not phat lewts… thats stuff that drops off mobs in wow and you replace by dinner time with something from a battleground. I am talking about loot… stuff that you level with long periods of time… and when it comes time to replace it… you bank it due to some displaced emotional attachment you feel for an electronic item.

Experience what non instanced content is… Yep kids back in the day… when you killed the Dragon… he was gone… for like a whole week. Or if you were really unlucky and it was special dragons they and their loot were gone forever.

Come get a sense of the depravity and despair inside your own soul as you slowly lose your mind during a 36 hour camp for a single piece of crummy parchment that happens to contain a piece of a map… that lets you finish a quest… for an item that serves no purpose other than its cool!

But fear not… some of the roughest edges of this game have been tamed. The population has voted out Corpse Runs. Do not fear losing all of your gear permanently because your guild wiped to some dragon who is now gleefully camping your corpses.

And do not fret the levels that required so much experience to get out of them they were referred to as Hell Levels have been ironed out.

If you ever enjoyed EQ classic come play with me on the progression server Vulak ‘Aerr and take a trip down memory lane. Were still on classic content so we have 5 expansions before they ruin the game again!
