Poll - Would you still play EQ if you didn't have Macroquest2? (1 Viewer)

[Redbot]

Imagine logging in without MQ2 - what would you miss the most? Would a game without any MQ2 users be better, or would it be too tedious to enjoy?

 

[dulak]

Wow...I'm the only one who said they'd still play? As to what I'd miss, I'd really only miss the HUD. Between my keyboard and my mouse, I can make my own macros to automate things like TS and other tedious things. I just choose not to.

 

[lostangelintx]

There is no way I could play 6 toons at once without some type of macro system. MQ2 just happened to be the most popular and readily available.

 

[Teichou]

I would still play but just not all the toons I play now...means SOE would lose money lol

 

[Noobhaxor]

Sorry, but EQ has absolutely no appeal to me without MQ2. Half the time making macros, finding new extremes I can put my chars to and PLing and remote controlling them are the only things I actually find fun anymore. EQ itself is an old boring game, with no imagination, nothing that I haven't seen or done, and the devs are simply rehashing old ideas.

harsh!

 

[wild_rose1]

Doubt it. I wouldnt like playing without being able to see spawns on map

Everything else, I can live with not having

 

[Maskoi]

While I enjoy playing EQ ever so often I love to write macros and automating toons. I doubt I would play without MQ2.

 

[Akatora]

I actually agree with this, I am normally playing 8~ toons and with out Kissassist or the map function I wouldnt be playing anymore, it is literally the only reason I am still playing

I also just recently moved to test, I got tired of farming cash to pay for gold, and I sure as hell wasnt paying for 8 expansions LOL

free gold, free expansions yeah, why not play on test :P

 

[Parkview]

It depends, but chances are I would not be playing 6 accounts and would just play the one, and then only for raid content.

 

[JackDaniels]

I would still play eq. But i would keep and play only two accounts. Also, although i would be playing eq, i would not be playing the same game. MQ/Kiss has opened up an entirely new game for me. As a super casual player, i have seen and accomplished more in EQ in the past year since i found this site then i did the 8 years prior in eq. I can do quests, camped named, do missions, do old raids. Things maybe more talented people can do with a completely raid geared max aa toon. But defintely things my gimp azz can not. MQ2/Kiss assist has changed my gaming life and i would miss it terribly.

This is my feeling as well. I'd be more "honest" and stick to my main, which would mean waiting until I could muster a group to do content that me+merc cannot do molo.

That's actually not a horrible idea, although the raiding would be numb from where I am at, I'm sure. =P

 

[Hanlons Razor]

I would probably go back to the single main deal with a class that can mass AA or swarm effectively and just use my boxes to buff or in a pinch... and quit before too long. MQ2 keeps me from actively playing for basement troll level hours while still achieving similar results, so it's pretty much a must for me.

 

[Abyss]

I would still play, I would just play 1 char, and thats only if I had friends who only plays 1. EQ is very hard to get groups.

 

[tms]

I would not play without mq2, OR only with one character, and ONLY if i had a good guild with people to group with (like back the days on vz, where guildgroups allways did happen).

Playing currently on R99 i have fun without mq2, but i do miss some things, mainly my hud, and a better interface ;P

 

[Abyss]

Yea at the current state of EQ unless you have a good guild group established there is pretty much no way you will be successful in playing 1 char.

 

[etherealmist]

On my server, since I haven't played since 2005, sometimes I feel lost. If there was no MQ2, I probably wouldn't play anymore, sadly.
