well let me catch you up... most places are reachable by port or plane of knoledge port stone or Lost dungeons of norath magus. so bats are obsolete especialy means they still keep breaking down. with the addition of lost dungeons of norath instanced zones became available which means that when your group enters the dungeon only your group has access to thet dungeon when another group wants to play that dungeon another seprate zone just for them is created so that camping isnt a problem. there are still areas that camping is a problem but not as much anymore because there are so many places to camp now there really isnt a reason to be upset anymore. almost no one plays the stones game anymore it is boreing and a little dumb lol there are also in game mapping your suppose to draw your own map as you go but most just download them lol and install them so no excuse getting lost anymore lol. my main gripe is people tend to be rude and unhelping but i recently moved to the roleplaying prefered server and that is a thing of the passed everyone there is so polite and helpfull...well unless they take ther rpg'ing too seriously then being an ogre i get alot of people screaming and running away or people like dwarves holding a grudge agganst me cuz i ate there uncle once lol. all of those problems i hear have been fixed in EQ2 in EQ2 you can own your own boat and most zones are instanced you can even own your own home or guild hall. if you once liked everquest i suggest you goto www.everquest.station.com and check it out it just entereed the application part of the beta testing stage. but this is poser forum so who is going to make my eq character morphs HUH HUH HUH lol
