Disappointed

[JRW928]

I'm the type of person who would bind, rez, and buff people for free and I'd do it any time I saw someone ask for those things. This was back on the Live servers before I ran across Project 1999. Now, I'm on here as a level 2 cleric. I don't have any significant amounts of money or gear to offer people as a tip. I spent almost 3 full hours in Greater Faydark asking for a bind this afternoon and NO ONE would help. There were several people in the zone with the capability to do such a spell, but none could be bothered to help. I just don't understand that. Why would a high level person even be in GFay if not to help the lower levels. Surely they have somewhere else to be if they're not interested in helping out. It's been a disappointing day on P1999.

Go back to WoW

[JRW928]

I've never played WoW and thanks for proving my point that players on P1999 aren't helpful.

[Gimp]

I guess you just got unlucky. I got tons of help when I first started and I paid it forward by constantly helping new players when I come into contact with them. First tip is to get to WFP and get a bind there. Always tons of people on EC and you can get buffs and sometimes free gear at all times of the day.

[Itching]

A lot of the people that hang out in GFAY are afk. The majority of the people on this server will go out of the way to help you, sometimes they might be busy, or helping a friend already.

[Sidelle]

Get a bind yet? If you still need one let me know.

[Skittlez]

Use /who and send actual tells sir. I for one only pay attention to ooc chat in dungeons and EC, not to mention all those AFK peeps.

[Glenzig]

Hard time buying that this is a newb. Newbs poet this stuff in Server Chat. They aren't yet aware of what exactly RNF is for.

[Bruno]

You probably got unlucky. Most of the community here are pretty solid. There are a few douches you will run into with clear issues that pain them to press a button, but for the most part there's a lot of help. Let me know if you still need a bind.

Don't judge the entire server by a few. The vast majority of people here are very helpful, sometimes you just need to send tells, like already mentioned. I also ignore OOC the majority of the time.

The forums here are also a cesspool, ignore them and you'll enjoy your time here :)

actually, it's the RNF nerds that don't understand what RNF is for. RNF is rants, flames, and NSFW, all in one subforum. This thread is a rant, not a flame nor is it a NSGW thread.

[Cistern]

Tells, tells, tells. This is the way to get things done in EQ. /who and /tell.

oh dont you fret over tiggles. hes the resident butthurt neckbeard. dude cries about everything.

[Troxx]

I'm not sure your complaint is valid. I have never had a problem getting a bind. Especially as a newbie - broke - I had no problems finding a courtesy port.

We're you polite?

Did you send tells or spam in ooc?

Here's how I did it.

/tell randomwizard Hey man I just started p99 yesterday and would love to see the old non revamped commonlands. Would you mind sparing a port to save a long run?

Randomwizard tells you: welcome to p99 man. Absolutely.

Randomwizard inspects your level 5 druid butt

Randomwizard tells you: oh man - cloth and a cracked staff - you are really new lol. Do you have money for spells?

Me: I've got about 2.5 play saved up

Randomwizard tells you: here take this for spells

Randomwizard gives you 25p

Randomwizard ports you to WC, gives you invis, and makes sure you get to zone line safely.


P99 players are some of the most mature I've seen on an mmo since early eq. I cannot remember the last time I was just given things out of niceness. Selling belts to a high level twink on my bard, after inspecting me she gave me a 1k treeweave in lieu of the 60p she was about to give me for the goods.

So yeah - I don't understand the problem you're having. It is literally the opposite from what I have experienced.

Only good post in this whole thread, grats

[Skywarp]

Fitting that the first negative response was Tiggles / Quickfingers. Never really plays in any capacity even in his own guild, which hates him. Just a self proclaimed forum troll lord.. Tiggles, why don't you go back to Pokeville cocksucker? We don't need your nerd rage at little Japanese kids and try to trick little boys and girls with promises of candy and soda into a basement in these forums.

Sorry to tell the newbie. A huge portion of these players are self absorbed dick bags worried about their plat count or how much they can insult other people on this server. Players in live are more courteous than P99 players and will always be.

That thread is the one good thing this community has going for it, you monster.

I'm not sure you're going to find the most helpful people here in Rants N Flames. I think this is more a game to them than it is a place to come and get advice.
