I agree with Su. Also to add, I have a
druid. I can cast more than 3 spells on full mana. It also does not
take me 20 minutes to meditate to full. I don't know what race you chose
for your druid, but when it comes to druids, wisdom counts. The higher the
wisdom, the larger the mana pool you have, and the quicker you can
meditate. Wood elves and halflings have the highest wisdom for the druid
class. Half elves and humans do not. Now you can raise your wisdom
with some gear, but most likely it will never be as high as a wood elf or
halfling druid - assuming the creator dumped all their bonus points into
wisdom. Curiously enough, I think the game has gotten a lot easier to play
since I started playing over two years ago. The advent of the windows GUI
really helped a lot, especially making everything in XML so it's customizable by
users. Also, not having to look at your spell book when you med helped a
lot. I really like not losing my corpse or xp if I die before level
10. Face the reality, buffs and everything else will eventually be nerfed
as new expansion packs come out and more people start reaching higher
levels. KEI might have been nerfed, but eventually something better will
replace it. There are so many better objects in the game now than there
were before. As people get higher and higher level, they may have to
revamp zones to make them more challenging to those players. This is
probably easier than creating all new zones. No matter what they do there
will always be bugs, but they will fix those bugs and introduce new bugs.
This is why they say the world is constantly evolving and changing. These
changes are one thing that makes the game so unique because it makes the world
have a life of its own. I am sure if you send in your letter, Sony will be
kind enough to respond back to you with a prefabricated form letter explaining
that they appreciate your comments and concerns, but as they have already
explained the world is constantly changing, they apologize they cannot please
all of the people all of the time. And it will be signed with the most
sincerest heart-felt sympathies of the President of Sony Online Entertainment
him/her self, whomever that may be. Then you can take this letter of
professional courtesy and frame it and hang it on your wall to remind you of the
tooth and nail battle that you fought to make Sony recognize your side of the
story. And I am sure your eyes will glance up at it every time you log on
to Dark Ages of Camelot.
You're in our world now. If you don't like
it, don't get a rez for 7 days.

Subject: [EverQuest] Re: How do you
feel?
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if you spelled
things
correctly, it might help your case a little more. I'm not trying to
insult you, but if I were someone working for Sony and I saw the
spelling errors in this I would assume that you were either a child
or
that you didn't really care enough about the message to use
correct
spelling.
A few things to point out: the correct spelling is Verant.
However
Verant no longer has anything to do with Everquest. Quitting is
the
correct spelling. Meditating, Originally, Having, Minutes, Available,
Appreciate and so forth. Spellcheck can run a long ways.
I hope you
don't use "horse shit" as an expression in your letter.
That said, I can
understand why they "nerfed" C2 and C3. It made it
harder for lower level
enchanters to compete with higher level
enchanters in selling their buffs,
and it made fighting less
challenging for lower level characters than the
creators had
intended. Basically, players became so dependent on the buffs
that
they did not learn how to conserve mana and play the characters in a
manner the creators had intended.
It did not take the fun out of the
game. There are still many things
to enjoy. Some of the changes have made
the game more exciting. They
have also added new quests for lower level
characters and added some
features to make things easier for new
characters that are just
starting out.
Some examples: When I first
started out if you were low level and you
died you had a short period of
time to get your corpse back. If you
did not you lost it and all of your
gear. And you lost xp even at
level 6. Now you don't lose your corpse or
xp until level 10.
There is a feedback system you can use and you can email
customer
service. I think that quitting EverQuest over a few changes is a
bit
extreme. But I guess what it comes down to is your enjoyment of the
game. If you no longer enjoy it, then you do not have to
play.
luv,
-Su
