Thank you, cheaters

[Alawen Everywhere]

I'd like to thank all the cheaters in Inglourious Basterds, Transcendence and Dark Ascension, as well as all the random non-tracking classes who have run into my camps all over the game within seconds of named mobs spawning.

Because of you, I've realized that Project 1999, while a clever and noteworthy programming endeavor, has the shadiest player population I've ever seen, despite having played on Sullon Zek and VZ/TZ.

Because of you, I've realized the pointlessness of legitimately farming items, platinum and raid loot, when it can all be duplicated or deleted in seconds.

Because of you, I've realized what a completely moronic waste of time it is to spend my free time tracking raid spawns by pressing the track button when my competition gets an audible notice while they two box their alts.

Because of you, I'm going to grad school and I'll have no temptation of spending my time playing on Project 1999 to interfere with my studies.

Thanks for the fun, but more thanks for helping me put all of this in perspective.

Aren't you like 50 years old?

At least something positive is coming from the DA cheating spree.

unless you're doing a hard science, get ready to have even more free time than you have right now.

You just now realized those things? I hate to kill someones' dream of advancement, but perhaps you are a bit slow for grad school. Education can be a great thing, but education on top of a deficient intellect is just a waste of your time and society's resources.

Also, good luck with the no temptation thing. Cuz given the choice between studying and gaming everyone knows there isn't any temptation involved.

Options:

1. Make SEQ legit, so everyone can cheat!!!

2. Move IB/DA to a 2nd server so they can poop on spawns etc as much as they want!!!

3. Install a 3rd party program that checks for SEQ and whatever else there is. Make people sign some kind of EULA, allowing P99 staff to do so!!! (oh noes, they will see you pron!)

All of the above can be taken more or less seriously.

Honestly princess, if farming items is only pointless to you because you can't compete with people who cheat, why isn't it pointless for other reasons (such as, the items not being real, farming being a massive strain on your time (or your "studies" lolz), etc.)?

If you truly are leaving I have a few things to say:

-you're creepy
-your cooking is shit
-I fucked your wife (that's when she told me your cooking is shit)

You suck at the game Alawen if you have to quit because you can't compete with so-called "cheaters". You're basically butthurt because every time you go to seafuries you can't get four at a time so you can show your fat wife how awesome you are at quadding. You know some people are just nerds like you and memorize spawn timers and other shit like that? And if you really think someone's cheating, why don't you contribute to the project and report them, you douche?

I hope this turns into another hundred-page "I like tralina" thread.

[jeffd]

your cooking is shit

now now, let's not let this get out of control

[girth]

-you're creepy


I don't know Tralina very well. I don't use mumble and I'm not in those video chats, so I only chat with her once in a while and see her posts on the forums. My favorite post from her was when she posted a picture of herself wickedly hungover and talked about $8 vodka and someone went off about women who think they deserve to have guys buy them $10 drinks all night and she corrected him that the BOTTLE was $8.

I think she's a pretty nice girl. She always seems to be pretty nice to everyone, even people who are quite mean to her. She's always been nice to me in our limited interaction and she didn't seem to be gossipy or manipulative or anything else negative.

Many of you seem to think that knowing Tralina or knowing something about her gives you the right to treat her as your metaphorical punching bag. You seem to like to attack her appearance, probably because you know that American women are typically very insecure about appearance. I think that reflects much worse on you than it does on Tralina. I don't recall her ever responding that any of you don't make enough money, or have an impressive resume or drive an expensive car, the things that American men are typically insecure about.

In the place and time where I grew up, we were taught to treat women with respect. Maybe that's changed now or maybe some of you just have really awful manners. I'm sure some of you are already getting ready to talk about how I'm just another desperate and lonely gamer geek trying to get into Tralina's undergarments. Well, I am kind of a lonely gamer geek sometimes, but I live far away from her and I'm probably twice her age, so the chances of us ever meeting are somewhere between minuscule and none at all. I just don't think the way many of you talk about her is appropriate at all and someone should call you out for it and it might as well be me.

Tralina, I hope the things some of these guys say about you don't affect the way you think about yourself. I don't agree with them at all. I think you're a pretty nice girl.

It's smart to start a thread and be a general as possible with no details. It's even smarter to not have any proof with screen shots or video. It's also smart that you start accusing people of "cheating" I think the smartest thing you did was wine like a little bitch and not petition a GM and handle this like an adult. Too bad you aren't smart enough to graduate collage.

Things I've learned from this thread:

If I don't post on R&F for months, purist will still respond within minutes when I do.

Lazortag is still butthurt that I trolled him in that ridiculous name nerfing thread.

Girth is still butthurt that I said the people in IB aren't very nice to people outside the guild, and he refutes this by... not being very nice to people outside the guild.

When I quit EQ, there are lots of people willing to help me out by taking my stuff. (To be fair, that probably identifies them as non-cheaters. Deciding whether beggars are preferable to cheaters is a judgment left to the reader.)

People seem to think I am somehow affected by their vacuous opinions of my wife whom they've never seen or met and my cooking which they've never tasted.

But the BEST thing I've learned is that the most common tags on Project 1999 are "attention whore" and "virgin." I think that's pretty hilarious.

[Humerox]

Seeing old names go is always a bad thing. Like the individual or not, the ones that were here at the beginning helped shape the server.

Alawen, just do what I'm doing man. Play toons nobody knows you on, enjoy the game for what it is, gtfo of the end-game drama and wait for Kunark to open shit back up.

Peace, bro. You'll be back...we always come back.

This made me laugh.

[Villide]

Announcing your quitting P99/WoW/EQ is akin to announcing you are going to kill yourself. One, you're not really going to do it. Two, you just want the masses to beg you to stay.

In other words, Drama Fucking Queen.

If you're going to quit, quit.

[Alawen Everywhere]

One day last week I was sitting in EC selling lowbie shit for random plats.

Lazortag comes up on his 50 bard and /duels me. Bard vs druid. You all know how this should end, but it was Lazortag and it was me, so instead of that yellow text he wanted, he had to selos to zone at 7%.

He's never going to get over it now.

On another note: fuck you, cheaters.

[hueylewis187]

I am with you 100percent alawen.

I also farmed plat legit for the last 3 months. Never cheated ever. My wife quit this server 3 months ago. So I just had fun farming named and doing the EC selling thing. But after all the things you mentioned I gave up. Maybe 2 weeks ago. : ) I was even banned for doing nothing. I mean nothing.... , but I was unbanned 4 days later at least.

The hack programs and the duping is what gets me. I stay away from the raiding because of the monopolizing and drama.

I had fun trying to farm plat though. Even though I don't need anymore. Just lately every named is ganked sooo fast. Unless I sit at 1 camp and never afk. F that.

I have decided that I may just play during kunark / velious when I'm reallly bored. I think I'll have fun with the challenges in some of the dungeons. The player base has ruined the thrill of getting any loot. Which is what really draws me in. But i'll probably just play on one of the other servers. I will have more fun alone , than dealing with the lame , cheating, duping, training, stealing, rmt, assholes on this server. :) "not everyone is bad , I'm sure 5percent or so of the players are legit"

I'm rambling and not even starting to make any sense to myself. Peace in the middle east , maybe see yall during kunark. "well i'll be deep in a dungeon soloing where noone is near.... : )

If there was only a way to weed out all the cheaters. I know the devs do a lot to try and stop the shit , but tooo many bad apples.

[Cyrano]

Alawen has always been my pal.

"your vacuous opinions don't matter to me," alawen declared as he refreshed the thread and typed his 10th response

[Randy]

Its pretty sad if people use ShowEQ or other tools. Its a game, Play the game. I don't see how people get fulfillment out of cheating.

[Trimm]

Because they can. And will continue to unfortunately. Its the same reason why people use aimbots or wallhacks in FPS games or bots and wowglider in WoW. Because it gives them an edge and they don't care that it hurts the rest of the server.

If the speed limit is 55, and there's no cops around, do you still only go 55?

[azeth]

The cheaters I get most annoyed with are those that do in FPS games. Warrock.net for instance. Not to s my own d, but im hands down the best warrock player to ever download the game - that is right up until people started hacking.

Hacking in a skill based game.. I mean really? The entire point of the game is survival, and reliance on your own abilities.. no one remembers your gamer tag, and your equipment is purchased for real life $... what in the fuck are you hacking for? is griefing and trolling THAT much fun?

Lasted a whole month. Well done

/clap

[XDrake]

I really don't know you aside from making some small talk in Perma that was rather friendly.

I'll just say I remember Classic EQ... Especially close to Kunark launch... Having the same problems. Show EQ was being used by top guilds and up-and-coming guilds trying to be top guilds... Only, the confrontations were so much more terrible.

900 people play at peak times. Remember when it was 1600-2000+ in Classic? Remember when LGUK was unplayable some nights due to the guilds having train wars against eachother?

Pettiness was so much more common then too... I remember my first Fear raid. After the 5 hours of trying to break in and dying so many times we were finally in and pulling Boogeymen. One of our Necromancers didn't win on a roll for some cryosilk against a new guy and had a ragefit. He ended up running north and dragging a horde of silverbacks, spiders, and fetid fiends on us and murdering all 25ish of us. His punishment? Nothing. No guides were on and the next day they said there was nothing they could do to penalize him.

I loath cheating too... But, I play the game for what it is. And, when I can get one up on them by beating them to the Ishva Mal... Or taking down Maestro or Phinny before they can assemble... It oddly feels even more rewarding.

I love classic because no MMORPG can match the challenge that EQ once was. EQ will beat you to your knees and make the littlest inch rewarding.

Do what makes you happy... But, put it in retrospect that cheating was a shameful part of classic.

[Estolcles]

If Alawen is gone, why did I see him (and get a SoW and Screenshot) in the Karanas the other night? 0_o?

[Goobles]

He's selling his account in EC Tunnels (Forum)

Just fyi

[Liathan]

Hm, for some reason this thread makes my stomach hurt a bit. I know its emotionally heated etc, but is there really sucha big cheating issue ?

Is it only few individual or is the economy dominated by dupes ?

Id be glad to hear some objective statements ?!

[Gorgetrapper]

Pretty much, it's just a matter of time when the people are caught, and how much permanent damage is done.

[Anderdale]

He's selling his account in EC Tunnels (Forum)

Just fyi

he only wants 150k for 3 lvl 50 toons and the druid has a guise. it is a steal.

[Lazortag]

Alawen will lie about his account being sold and pretend he's someone else so that he doesn't have to deal with his poor reputation anymore. Then after about a week of playing he'll come back to the forums and make a thread revealing this, surprising no one. In this thread he will create some other excuse for why he's "quitting" again (real life commitments, not paying enough attention to his wife, going to cooking school, etc.).

I was wondering the same thing. Did the GMs really take away some of Alawen's stuff and return it to IB? I'd like to conclusively know whether or not this is the case.

[Scrooge]

I seriously doubt it.
