Introducing: P99 shopping channel

[Swish]

Okay, so what's really left to do on P99? Velious content for those still interested, but one of the cornerstones of P99 is the EC tunnel, trading, buy low/sell high... right?

So I've come up with an idea that should really pull in the punters...a Twitch channel dedicated to the tunnel. Not just an auction window that people can look at. Far more interactive


Featured items!
Lesser camped items
Low cost items for new players!
Buying/selling/haggling advice
A live show - interviewing well known EC mules!
(advice on what to camp, where to camp it, and other ad hoc things)


Something like this needs a name of course, and what better than.... QEC!

http://www.twitch.tv/p99_shopping

Hoping to have guest sellers on, people trying to sell rare items (manastones etc) and an abundance of other things including giveaways.

I think with the EC population regularly at 150ish at peak it would be a hit in the evenings EST/PST. A good way of bringing the community together.

Launching soon, just need to finish up some video graphics... including a QVC style item listing ^^

[Swish]

...and yes, this will include items from red as well as blue. Probably mostly blue though ^^

PM me if you think you'd be interested in a seller spot, or being interviewed, or if you have any questions.

give it a chance Pokesan - I take it you're not a tunnel fat cat?

If enough people are on board the channel could run for 5-6 hours nightly, or longer.

sounds like it could be a fun idea actually, if executed properly

[Pokesan]

pro-tip: if you want to see the Swish highlight reel - go to r/gifs and look for reposts

The idea is to give a voice/face to the trading community, mix in some fun stuff, maybe some trivia, some stories on rare items, buy low sell high stories/records... the sky is the limit really.

High end items as well as items for new players on a ticker at the base of the screen...

Suggestions welcome of course ^^

I like this idea. Ec tunnel questing is like a game within the game. Definitely doesn't get the credit or attention it deserves.

It IS the main game for some ^^ ;)

[Tupakk]

Thought you moved to red?

Also, not a bad idea.

[iruinedyourday]

[Spyder73]

If this had a poll option, I would vote Bush/Towers

[maskedmelon]

This is awesome. Will keep me company while the rest of the group is watching netflix or porn or whatever the reason P99 feels like a slug farm sometimes.

A+ idea.

I hate the tunnel, I hate the fat cats, I hate inflation and new players starting today having to climb a mountain/make a druid and port before they can get decent gear.

This was purely to mock the tunnelquest addiction some people have.

If someone wants to take the lead and make this a reality, go nuts ;)

(and yes, it was April 1st where I was when I made the thread) :p

[Pokesan]

[Kalex716]

Thinking about starting a druid if I can find the motivation to play EQ generally.

[iruinedyourday]

Shit's classic though. It's not supposed to be easy to get nice gear on Everquest, that shit takes time, grinding, and commitment. And it's that much more rewarding when you get it. In fact, it's far easier to get nice gear on P99 than it ever was on live because of all the shit floating around, and the vast majority of it is far cheaper than it was on live.

The fact that EQ meta even allows something like tunnelquest, an entire playstyle based off the game's economy, is marvelous, even if you don't personally enjoy participating in it.
