From the EQlive website.
May 26th, 2004
-------------------
Headlines!
-------------------
New Tutorial now live!
CS Assist allows use of Knowledge Base in-game
Tutorial
-------------------
- Does your significant other find EQ too hard to learn? Our new Tutorial is Live and ready to teach them to play. Creating a new character will give you the option to go through the new tutorial. You can choose to leave the tutorial at anytime and can return until your character reaches level 5. The tutorial will walk you through gameplay with easy to follow instructions in text and voice.
- Hybrids will now receive mana at level 1 as they now receive a spell in the tutorial.
CS Assist
-------------------
A new CS tool is available for use and should provide you with a better interface when petitioning. You can also access our self help option through the knowledge base. You can bring up the new window by pressing the 'P' key, typing /petition, or clicking the "Customer Service" button from the help window.
Cabalis Quests
-------------------
Iksar Warriors and Necromancers have some quests to finish!
Iksar Beastlords have a new quest.
UI Changes
-------------------
- There's a new button in the Options->Display tab to toggle between full screen and windowed mode.
- Presto Change-O! There's a new button on the bazaar window to hide all traders. Clicking a trader in the search window will make them appear (limited to the last trader you clicked)
- New text filters have been added for Pet Crits, Pet Rampage/Flurry, System Messages, Focus Effects, Exp Messages, and Who list.
- The Guild Management window should be better organized.
- There's a new /outputfile command to allow creation of text-file dumps of your Guild, Raid, Inventory and spell books.
Improved Collisions
-------------------
- There have been numerous collision system fixes and improvements.
- Collision system improvements have made elevators much safer.
- Getting out of water should be a little easier for short races. We wouldn't want all those Halflings to drown, now would we?
- Rogues should be able to more easily exit water while sneaking, although I think it would be hard to sneak with wet trousers.
Misc.
-------------------
- You now have the ability to "AutoBank" in the Bank Window.
- Casting a spell while sitting will stand you up.
- Camping while standing will sit you down automatically.
- NPC's will not begin regenerating immediately if fleeing or combat ends.
- Improved the Iqthinxa Karnkvi event in Qvic

That's not true. I blame the demise of EQ on the lack of original plane raids. Today all of the original planes are much eaiser thanks to 65, aa, better tradeable gear, etc..
It is my belief that those days taught me the most about how EQ "works". Yes LDoN has helped bring back some of those "skills", however I still feel today's players are pampered too much.

The death of EQ started when they made aego/kei 3 hours, and it was castable on anyone, then letting temperance be castable on anyone. The buff begging scum lowbies are what crippled the new players, people would be turned down for groups (at level 10-25 or so) for not having kei/aego/virtue/temperance.

Thats how I feel about it myself. Even though we griped and bitched at The Vision (TM), in retrospect the game was much better with it heh.

THis is something I mentioned in another post... hopefully Sigil will have the Vision alive and kicking in their game. Really it was a pain sometimes, but overall it did make for a more challenging and rewarding game.

tutorial mode? pfft.
The eq strat guide (dated as it may be) still can teach a player the basic fundamentals (to some extent). Those things are prolly collecting dust right now. They should like recall all of them for free game time and pack those with new boxed sets of EQ.
Oh and charge 10 dollars more!
