Sick of the lack of clear and enforced rules in the p99 raid scene?

[Juevento]

I hear a new progression server opens tomorrow on live! 90 days between expansions and no single PC boxing allowed.

I might have to give it a shot since this place is going down the tubes.

[dafier]

I wonder which EQ client I can use. I own both Titanium and Underfoot.

Any clue?

[Colgate]

thank god pvp solves it

Instanced raiding. That's kind of tempting.

[Juevento]

Yeah everything I read about it seems intriguing. Not sure how the in game store or Krono work, so that might yet be a bummer.

FYI Colgate, I grew up on VZ. Only server I ever played on live. If p99 could recreate that experience, I would be onboard in a heartbeat.

Just download the free client from DBG / everquest.com and buy a Daybreak All Access membership, if I understand it correctly.

we should all abandon this rotten timesink and band together into a coalition for social justice. Imagine what we could accomplish if we harnessed the weekly man hours dedicated to getting pixel dragons.

here are some topics we can work on
improving education
a woman's right to kill fetuses
combating video game addiction and developing healthy ways to game

I'll only support #2 if we use taxpayer money to fund the killing of babies, oh I mean fetuses

That's worth serious consideration. but we all know that most of our tax $'s go towards the military.

Here's my compromise: we allocate military resources to creating "special ops" strike forces who are located in major urban centers of the USA with the MO of performing highly tactical fetus assassinations that minimize risk and damage to the neighboring civilian population.

It's actually a combination of instances + real world spawns, so best of both worlds really.

Guild that thrives on rules getting frustrated enough to RNF about it in server chat. Got it.

I hope the guild charter catches up with you (or anyone) for once :o ...and I'd like to thank the developers and staff of this project with a firm handshake - I wouldn't play anywhere else.

And they should mail out a frameable certificate of achievement to the people that actually think having exclusive pixels in a video game amounts to something in life.

Ring the bell, lets get this into RnF where it belonged in the first place.

Got to love the mentality of BDA players, they shit on the rotation back in Kunark to effectively enjoy a guaranteed 1 in 3 takedown of every Class R dragon plus whatever they could get in the R(ffa) bracket.

Now when things aren't going so well we get the extensive whining and complaining about the raid scene from them.

"We're a casual guild but we shit on the true casual guilds...while complaining about the top guilds"

Quite the identity crisis I'd say. I'm embarrassed but not surprised that we're seeing these double standards :o

Perhaps the staff can set you up another favorable rotation? Wouldn't want to lose 100s of players nightly etc.

Now please batphone for responses, I'd like my post drowned out by a chrous of BDA members trying to impress for loot council pixels :o

Swish has nailed it so perfectly I'd better pull a 2/10 reply out of the bag and hope he won't argue with a passive "nothing" response.

That's an interesting strategy, lets see how it plays out...

Dude you spent years in TMO on blue and now you just abandoned TMO on red to join Empire and acquire 100% uncontested pixels.

Some people are just front runners. Lots of TMO abandoned ship when Rampage started cleaning up. Pixels before people.

Although can't really expect someone to play in a dead guild, especially on red.

I could really go for a server patch to reset all Kunark and Velious timers to a single day.

Would be lovely for people to not have a chance to go for everything simultaneously and need to pick and choose their targets.

Also sim Repops. 2-3 times a week.

Boom, less raid conflicts occur.

Server reset to stack all available raid targets, cut variance by 50%, 1-2 earthquakes a month. That would ease a lot of congestion IMO.

Its the end of the line, as the RNF threads complaining about recruitment cold calls and <1000 pop at prime time speak to. Just give the people all the raid mobs, there's nothing further anyways.

[Coridan]

Installing the steam client won't screw with my p99 installation right?

The true casuals (read: "not BDA") who haven't burnt out in a matter of months will claim the server, and perhaps it'll be a better place to play.

Rename/move your P99 directory to the root C: folder and I wouldn't imagine any problems.

If it's in Program Files/EverQuest or something... perhaps there could be a conflict.

Steam normally installs games to the steam folder, I was just wondering if this does as well.

The rules are complicated because nobody can live by the only one we'd need if people would follow it and that's "Don't be a jerk."

So, has anybody used this server as the basis of their Human-Computer Interaction PhD dissertation? In all seriousness this place would be an absolute goldmine of information. Give online game addicts a 16 year old game stuck on one expansion for five years and see how the community changes while the game doesn't. Anybody? Bueller?

/tinfoil nilbog and rogean operate this as a front for a CIA psy-op experiment into social engineering of online communities.

[nicemace]

the world bosses spawn pretty much daily while the instanced ones are 6.5 day lockout. if RF and LJ was anything to go by, there will still be a huge competitive scene for those daily loots.

I've got a KR account. What didn't you like about it? I'm not at max level or anything but I really enjoy the combat. Granted, it's not like the leveling experience is difficult, which worries me slightly, but the environment/engine really had me.

But yea, what are your negatives? Any positives? Since you're a PvPer, I think lots of NA is hoping for changes in this area compared to KR/JP/RU. On the official forums though, due to the outcry, I'd say that the PvP system will get changed back to old KR beta style (which was akin to Lineage 2). This doesn't "promote" PvP, but it doesn't make it a gigantic glaring negative, which always pisses me off about PvP games.

PvE whiners always ruining games for the rest of us.

For launch, Plane of Sky is an exception to the above instancing rule. Each island will have a lockout. Kill any NPC on that island and everyone in your raid will receive a 6.5 day account-wide lockout for that island.

this sounds pretty lame and crappy to me - how can you instance Sky by Island

Can I Purchase the 40-Slot “Steadfast Satchel” on the New Progression Server?

Yes! This bag is a one-time claim available on any server, including progression servers. You can learn more about this here.

Don't play it then. Live in your P99 world of non-progression. Don't need to knock on anyone else who might find it refreshing.

Cash shops suck just like the red server sucks and needing to be a batphoner to see raids on blue sucks.

Swish you seem personally offended that other people might want to see if the grass is greener on the other side. There isn't a server that is perfect for everyone, nor even a server that is perfect for any individual. Find what best suits you and ignore the fact that others have a different preference.

[Varren]

I have an idea. Every time a raid mob pops, 3 of them spawn instead of 1. Fun fun

Excuse me for putting across my thoughts and ideas on a "forum".

I don't blame Daybreak for wanting to make money, but its hard to hear them say "classic Everquest" or "nostalgia" and refuse to rip out all the modern era programming from the new TLP servers.

Also try red rather than using other people's opinons <3

If people found ways to break rules on Phinny I wouldnt be surprised at all.

Post up any forum drama from the boards there, would love a trip to the hospital to have my sides stitched back up :)
