2 Fungi wins in a row, now what?

[kgallowaypa]

So a little backstory...

My main a 58 [Humble] enchanter has been dirt poor until last night. I don't have my Goblin ring yet and have been scraping cash left and right to get money for spells, peridot stacks, chardok pulls etc. The most money I have ever amassed at one time was around 6k which was used to proxy me past 54 to 55.

Last night I was in King and after 3 or so hours, king popped finally and I won the first tunic with a 90 roll. Corpsed the tunic and waited for another pop hopefully before I went to bed.

Second pop was king again and won AGAIN with a 40 roll. both groups with 5 ppl including myself.

So I transferred the fungi to my little mini twink warrior and have the other on my main, but I am wondering what I should do with the 2 fungi's to establish my character financially.

I was thinking of selling 1 fungi for chardok proxy pulls to get to 60 (currently at 47% through 58) and can sell proxies to recoup the 45 ish k over time..
I was also thinking of 90k gearing my 23 warrior as well..
There's also the thought of PLing my druid so he can port everywhere and PL others for a cost..

What would be your guys' opinion on what to do with the 2 fungi's in order to set up some PP independence?

[Maschenny]

Why dont you just do all of that

[Trungep99]

grats!
im surprised your group would allow you to roll a seocnd time after winning the first one.
Do with them whatever you would have more fun doing. if leveling an alt is more fun then do that. If selling both for a large sum of cash is more fun for you then do that. 90k is more than enough to get 60 with chardok and get you some additional stuff. You may want to first purchase your 59 & 60 spells before doing the chardok pulls. or just plan ahead in general.

you can also just sell one, keep the cash and level legit to 60 so you can spend the money on gear. the levels will come with time, the cash to buy upgrades might not be as quick.

[kgallowaypa]

Don't do chardok, that's so cringey.

The point is to get to 60 ASAP before revamp to sell the proxies, if I knew the revamp was not happening soon I would just grind to 60 and keep the 2 fungi's

[Izzni]

Back in the day we formed groups that had a tank, healer, crowd control, and we killed things one at a time. Is it really the case that a large number of people just pay pp to level?

[feanan]

leveling is hard

[Daldaen]

A 58 enchanter can be in the group rather than paying for proxies.

Don't be upset swish <3 If you must know, the shaman in our group had his corpse as well and he still rolled.

Certainly some good fortune, just remember why you play EverQuest - and what you do with your characters after they hit 60 :p

Even now im humble as ever, but yeah luck roll. But as mentioned to others time and time again, my most fun experience on p99 and eq is leveling my chanter from 1-56, everything after that is a /facemelt.

[Swish]

The struggle of doing 59 is part of the satisfaction of getting to 60, isnt it?

Why sell yourself out to some asshat lawyers in Chardok?

[kgallowaypa]

only because ill get the money back at 60 on my main, other than that, no point - I agree.

Just listed both for sale in EC, 48k firm each lmk

[FatMice]

I pulled and tanked for this group. I also used my clicked to insure we were able to kill the second king since the cleric was low mana. I used 3 wort pots. Yes, I was pissed he won the second, especially when he over agro'd on the pull, died and didn't do much on the kill. It is what it is.

This post is the epitome of Everquest range. 5 hours of pulling PHs, to getting to King back to back who drop fungis, and then have the same guy win two.

True moral of the story is don't pug with people, unless you want to deal with true greed. I'd recommend if you do pug on camps like this write out complete loot rules and replacement procedures.

This and randoming for a Vulak kill is what Project 1999 is all about.

[FatMice]

Vaedir I would say keep one to level and alt but you seem to have that covered. Not sure what the levels are.

Ive had my fair share of RNG bad luck streaks myself, I did mention though, not sure when group fell apart around 1am ish but it was me, the cleric and another rogue if we did get king on a trio and fungi dropped again I would pass. I won't be visiting King for a while though because 90k plat is more than I will ever need, hell I was stunned by getting 1 fungi. But last night the RNG gods answered my broke ass prayers.

He is an enchanter. Unless I am wrong, since I have never really done or learned Chardok, can't he make a shit ton of money being an Enchanter down there? So how can an enchanter be so moneyless in the first place?

The 6k Ive earned started around lvl 54 when I started soloing HS entrance. Since that, Ive never had more than 1k plat on me ever.

But IMO I don't think this class requires so much plat at endgame. Realistically its the 59 and 60 spells which are costly is the only really "Gear" I need aside from PoM questables

Peak hours a 59 chanter is lucky to get into a chardok pull as 60 chanters are always on the list waiting.

#rekt

No I genuinely made this post with no idea what to do this morning then took advice and went with it

[Manticmuse]

I understand why people would hate on him for rolling twice.

YET

This same situation happened to me once. I won two rolls within three spawns. After the first tunic dropped, a couple people who lost the roll had "things to do" and left. In comes a new monk.

Tunic drops again and I win the roll. It is not the exact same group, and I am not geared to the teeth. After winning the roll, I decide to concede to the second highest to share the love. The new monk comes in second. Not only do I not remember him saying thank you, but later I noticed him doing king camp for months, rolling and corpsing like a fiend. After I started to notice this a week after our tunic group I sent him a tell along the lines of "hey, i like grouping with ya, it was fun, but if i could do it over i wouldn't give ya the fungi though seeing as how you do this so much. no hard feelings though"

He did not even remember being given a fungi.

You never know who you are grouping with at those high value camps. For all I know he paid rent at fungi king. In an ideal world, everyone would pass the second time if they won the first. But this is p99, full of pixel rot having, rmt deeling rerolls of banned account holders that can't stay away. If you are pugging with randos, just roll it ffa every time imo. You will get no hate from me for your decision.

I'm barely going to touch on the chardok thing, because the obvious answer to that is no, stay the fuck away, and play the damn game.

[xexbis0]

Don't care how bad your luck is, if it's happened to you in the past, or whatever, unless there was swapping of the group members, you rolling against the same groupies for the second fungi was a dick as hell move.

[kgallowaypa]

Both sold for 48k, And wtf rolling for 2nd was a dick move? How should you address the shaman that corpse his and rolled BEFORE me??

Btw Me, cleric and shaman were holding down the camp hours before the new monk came because our old monk wasn't getting levi.

it was FFA all, no guildies attached on either char.

[xexbis0]

The shaman didn't win a fungi in the group, you did...Apples and Oranges

[kgallowaypa]

He has to speak for himself..but why would you roll...with a corpse in camp...if your going to pass...? not apples and oranges bro

Is it a selfish move? Sure.

Is that how p99 rolls? Pretty much.

How dense are you? You want him to come shaman for free for your king group all night? You can't fix stupid/greedy.

Lol well GL to you sir if you want to spin it that way.

LOL. I had a fungi on while pulling this shit. You thinking I was going to pass? If anything I was surprised the Shaman was corpseing a fungi while having nothing on his BP slot.

Writing that shit... wow... I should have just left the group.

I get that sinking feeling too, reading a bunch of these threads. I'm no saint, but I think my conscience would have bothered me rolling on the second. And if someone had passed on their second letting me win my first... they'd be my hero for life. I understand not everybody has the same motivations.

It's more of a good example of why pug groups suck for doing things like King camp.

And if someone had passed on their second letting me win my first... they'd be my hero for life. I understand not everybody has the same motivations.

I can see it from both sides. Lets face it, if you're not leaving after winning the first fungi (and corpsing it) then everyone is obviously okay with you having a shot at another one if it drops... and what's the odds of winning 2 in a row with a 5 man group?

But yeah, I've never had pixel lust...never owned a fungi (did lose on a 91 roll one time), a manastone, a guise, or any highly sought after items. Maybe one day I'll get down to the king camp and finally get one.

Good luck with your plat OP, I'd take the advice of not spending plat for levels ^^

[bktroost]

Writing that shit... wow... I should have just left the group.

if it was clearly communicated before hand then it doesn't matter what the rules to your group are. Heck, it could be "every 3rd fungi gets deleted as a sacrificial offering to Bristlebane in praise and worship of his fungal blessings."

Who cares as long as that group was all on the same page.

Words for words sake going on here.

[FatMice]

Nemce may I direct you to my first post where I say "it is what it is." And yes, there were no agreements or discussions. Frankly it is to cumbersome to even think to discuss all scenarios for a pug, just /random.

But my words are just words and a waste of time to write for your sake. Why don't you instead keep writing words to fuck up the raid scene?

[kgallowaypa]

Shit jus got real

[clacbec]

how to get mad @ pixelsQuest Meh

[Llodd]

Just wondering hypothetically like, would the people from this group keep corpsing if 6 fungis dropped, even if it meant one person from the group walked away with nothing ?

Is there a line in the sand here that some of you greedy people do draw? Or is it greed greed all the way?

Anyway pretty much this:

This entire post was to promote his sales. Brilliant.

OP knew fully that he'd get the responses he did.

[hitmanloki]

The big problem with shit like this is if you do win a fungi, and youre not 'allowed' to win the next one, what's stopping you from just making up a reason to leave the group after you win one? Sure, ideally, you want other people to get one cause you just got lucky and won one for yourself (but lets be real, this isnt what happens usually). This happens a lot in Seb groups though - e.g you win a big ticket item and another one drops, and obviously you want it because its more money/use but its a dick move to roll on it.

Although seeing how the guy who won both fungis is responding here, Id say hes just an asshole and it never even crossed his mind to break off some of the profit of the second fungi to the other group members. It is what it is, pixels are hot, boys.

[korilla]

i was grouped with someone yesterday who was boasting that they won two fungis in a row...not surprised to see a thread by that same person. i think you care more about telling people that you won two fungi's in a row rather than whatever advice you're pretending to seek. lol.

[cdawgz28]

If I won a fungi and a second dropped and all the grp was the same I'd pass... If half left and some new peeps came in id say it may be fair game. But if he corpsed it that's ur guys fault for allowing that... If dude said duel me so I can corpse this thing I'd probably tell him to fuck off and/or not Rez his ass if we were still a complete group.

[kgallowaypa]

At this point I love that you all loathe me, bring me more food

[-Catherin-]

it's important to set the rules in groups like these. If people were okay with this there really isnt an issue at all. if they were not yeah this is kind of lame, but it's the reason why these things should be set in stone before one drops. or at least before the first one is awarded.

There is the real issue of people leaving after getting theirs though. What we used to do is hold off on rolling for all loot involved until someone has to leave. Then you do it all at once. This eliminates people just getting one and leaving since they were about to leave anyways. But I havnt done this camp in a very long time and whenever the chance comes up people don't like these rules so i don't go. Guess thats why I havnt gone in a long time lol.

So go ahead and petition me up, you will be just aggravating a decent guy who found himself in an unusual circumstance.

And yeah, I DIDNT leave last night after I won the first fungi because THAT is an asshole thing to do to let the group figure it out without an enchanter at 1 in the AM on a weekday. You guys are so butthurt about how it worked out but after sending many tells to those involved, I HIGHLY doubt you would have done the same. Say your a "nice" guy sure. Let's see what happens next. Any "asshat" is not getting any special favors from me who lawyered me up in this thread. and believe me, that's duly noted on my end.

Too many alts... I really need to work on getting my SK or cleric to 60, and then working on getting my bard to 50+, then work on a few others :/

I blame not being able to get a group in certain places and having to play alts as the reason for making more alts :p

[maskedmelon]

Expecting someone to hang around a group after winning an item and being told they can no longer roll is as selfish as rolling on the item.

The RNG affords everyone the same opportunity. You can level a character to 60 without ever winning anything or win every damn item of value that drops. Given sufficient time however, RNG will also guarantee similar outcomes. Denying someone the ability to roll on an item dilutes equanimity of RNG, with discrimination based on short term outcomes.

NBG in pugs is a perversion of logic relying on false premises occluded by an argument that appeals to emotion to hijack rational thought. It favors immediate benefit over deferred benefit with no regard for time investment. Alpha on the other hand favors time investment with no regard for benefit. RNG favors nothing.


Congratulations on the tunics. You are an awful person.

[Swish]

Guild groups at King have a different dynamic... that's the way to go if you can swing it.

^ This. When people share an interest beyond the group such as friendship or guild/group collective advancement, things can change quite a bit ^^

[Rogue305]

If you already have the Lore item on your character you should take care of it prior to showing up to group where said item drops or go somewhere else to farm items.

Once you win you should have 1.) passed and stayed for the exp or 2.) replaced yourself and passed while waiting for replacement. In my opinion the spirit of having lore items is to prevent one toon having two, while there is a work around to circumvent lore items (corpsing) it's just plain old greedy.

[AnonymousFQ_099]

From what I understand, NO ONE goes to Myconid Spore King group for exp.

So, I find it interesting that people expect someone to stay at a camp after winning the big ticket item at that camp in a PUG, and not /corpse and roll on the item again.

You heard it here first KING group members. You are better off leaving the group immediately after winning a Tunic, therefore making that group possibly breakup because not having needed classes to pull more Fungi's.

[Swayze]

Corpsing fungi's? This is not Nam, this is Everquest, there are rules. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

[virulentthemonstaire]

either way u look at it, all pug groups are greed driven. although, it looks a lot better to just leave the group(find replacement) after u win a lore item like fungi than to just stay there and expect to roll for another one.

i'm not saying you should stay and pass for the next item that drops, but at least leave the fucking group. pieces of shit on this server, srsly.

and enchanters can farm plat like no other, so the fact that u are "broke" as a 58 enchanter tells me u can't play ur class. no excuse. you can get hundreds of thousands of platinum solo farming as a ench or sham.

[Achromatic]

To OP,

Normally I would tell you to spend 50k on Chardok pulls because leveling past 57 is a mindless grind. But, since you're an enc, you should just grind it out. Go to the bear caves in Permafrost and you should be lvl 60 in 2 or 3 weeks if you're casually exping, 3 days if you're a poop socking elite.

If you don't have enough patience for that then by all means just Chardok it. Totally gonna be worth the 50k. Plat is more valuable than items in this game, but so is having a lvl 60 enchanter who can farm a large variety of items and is so desirable in group and raid settings.

EDIT: and that can do Chardok pulls at 2k a pop

[feanan]

Given that 60 is max level, and the server is never progressing, who cares how long it takes to grind to 60?

Same loot, zones, and other shit still be here in 5 years, not sure what everyones rush to 60 is. 60 is when you quit.

[snergle]

I feel like you are bad at money irl and in game. First and only character w/o clicks to make your class easier to play and you're buying proxies when you are a class that can get in for free. I am going to suggest you wait until luclin and use all your plat on trying to win golden tickets.

Go to the bear caves in Permafrost and you should be lvl 60 in 2 or 3 weeks if you're casually exping, 3 days if you're a poop socking elite.

If you don't have enough patience for that then by all means just Chardok it. Totally gonna be worth the 50k. Plat is more valuable than items in this game, but so is having a lvl 60 enchanter who can farm a large variety of items and is so desirable in group and raid settings.

EDIT: and that can do Chardok pulls at 2k a pop

Also don't forget this server is never going past Velious so you are wasting a huge amount of time if you are still playing here.

[Gumbo]

All this talk about winning 2 Fungi Tunics and I would love to just get into a Fungi Tunic group...

This forum also needs a popcorn emoticon as well.

[Subidoo]

Out of curiosity how difficult is it to get into a group for the fungi tunic? 52 shaman here.

You wanna be 57-58 really before doing King, persistence will get you in eventually.

[Subidoo]

Perfect, thanks Swish :)

[Achromatic]

Given that 60 is max level, and the server is never progressing, who cares how long it takes to grind to 60?

Same loot, zones, and other shit still be here in 5 years, not sure what everyones rush to 60 is. 60 is when you quit.
Some ppl dont want to be here in 5 years :p

[gkmarino]

Right when I was considering playing again, and I see this thread. I guess the real game is level 55 and below, at least that's where I've had most of my fun!

[Kongal]

now what? win more!

[MammothMafia]

if your a 58 chanter thinking you need to pay for chardok AE pulls to get to lvl 60 you have already lost the game. you can clear most of sebilis solo acquiring lvl 60 and hording even more plat in the process. also..... you dont have to pay for chardok pulls as a lvl 58 enchanter because you will be the one doing the work.... thats free exp.. confirmed, just bragging about winning fungis

[kgallowaypa]

I was hoping for someone else to post to revive this up from Tuesday ... and this evenin my wish came true:

I decided I am a shit asshole so now I think I have finally found my home, the p99 forums under 200 posts.

After going through this thread, a close RNF contender, and every other "thread" on these forums, formally I can say fuck you all and your opinions, fungis sold long long ago, enough with the 48k tells.

Stay jealous and broke my fans. A special thank you to the 5k views to this thread! Each refresh that helped me market out with drama and intra-server bullshit to literally make 94k in 46 minutes <3

[kgallowaypa]

This entire post was to promote his sales. Brilliant.

A fantastic observation,

[quido]

He is an enchanter. Unless I am wrong, since I have never really done or learned Chardok, can't he make a shit ton of money being an Enchanter down there? So how can an enchanter be so moneyless in the first place?

A chanter isn't really viable in Chardok AE until higher levels if they want to reliably stun.

[kgallowaypa]

Thank you Quido for directing my ignorant and beautiful anti-fan base.

[quido]

yep

Honestly, knowing the people who started Anonymous, I kind of expected better of their members. But I guess I have been away a while.

[Feathers]

Ohhhh Proxy!

So a little backstory...
The most money I have ever amassed at one time was around 6k which was used to proxy me past 54 to 55.

You paid someone 6k to play your character from 54 to 55?



I was thinking of selling 1 fungi for chardok proxy pulls to get to 60...

Ok, so have someone play your character from 58 to 60? You made if from 55 to 58, two more levels can' t be that hard.

...and can sell proxies to recoup the 45 ish k over time..

What the the hell are you talking about?

Second pop was king again and won AGAIN with a 40 roll. both groups with 5 ppl including myself.

OMG! I hate you, and my pet hates you, by proxy of course.


What would be your guys' opinion on what to do with the 2 fungi's in order to set up some PP independence?

Oh I have a few ideas for you... }:>

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

sell both and then you can easily proxy to 60, and then you can raid and in 2 months be like, wtf, and stop playing.

[newagemystic]

lots of stuff in this thread that Red would have solved from the start.

[virulentthemonstaire]

OP thinks he is cool for making just less than 100k....make over 800k as a chanter solo, and then talk to me. faggot.

[IzHaN80]

Have fun with that, I'm not an ass but going forward I'm not posting on the forums again. So much BS that goes on here idk why I even waste my time asking question in general.

And being an ass? I cant even count how many random people I have power leveled, top tipped, buffed, etc for no reason at all just to help others out on this crappy game that saps people's spirit. So go ahead and petition me up, you will be just aggravating a decent guy who found himself in an unusual circumstance.

And yeah, I DIDNT leave last night after I won the first fungi because THAT is an asshole thing to do to let the group figure it out without an enchanter at 1 in the AM on a weekday. You guys are so butthurt about how it worked out but after sending many tells to those involved, I HIGHLY doubt you would have done the same. Say your a "nice" guy sure. Let's see what happens next. Any "asshat" is not getting any special favors from me who lawyered me up in this thread. and believe me, that's duly noted on my end. Don't ask me for C, help, proxies, or anything else if I see you in-game.

Catterine - 60 Druidess
Kattarina - 60 Shaman
Angellus - 60 Cleric
Pickahippy - 52 Druid

Figure it out

Ohh, now i understand why you were pissed off when i met you at Kelethin xDDDD. Well this dude, helped me out to XFER cash and some various items to my alt without knowing me at alt, seemed helpful to the newbies in the area, and seemed nice. I think that you guys are getting it wrong ;)

[Tenlaar]

lots of stuff in this thread that Red would have solved from the start.

Obviously, since there wouldn't have been enough players online for a full group anyway.

[Gumbo]

fungis sold long long ago, enough with the 48k tells.

All this free advertisement and you only sold the tunics for 48K?

Come on... Even I know you can sell a Tunic for at least 52-54K. :D

[skorge]

I pulled and tanked for this group. I also used my clicked to insure we were able to kill the second king since the cleric was low mana. I used 3 wort pots. Yes, I was pissed he won the second, especially when he over agro'd on the pull, died and didn't do much on the kill. It is what it is.

This post is the epitome of Everquest range. 5 hours of pulling PHs, to getting to King back to back who drop fungis, and then have the same guy win two.

True moral of the story is don't pug with people, unless you want to deal with true greed. I'd recommend if you do pug on camps like this write out complete loot rules and replacement procedures.

This and randoming for a Vulak kill is what Project 1999 is all about.

Why was he rolling again since he already won one? I haven't played P99 in 2-3 years. Is it already at the point where people don't care enough to let you roll twice in a row on a fungi?

[Subidoo]

Was going to say, he should of passed on the second drop, thats just rude to roll again. But why didn't the group say something?

[Teppler]

Can't believe this is even a discussion.

You roll on everything that is valuable enough to you, no matter what you won before.

Playing games about who deserves what does nothing but make things messy.

Don't like doing a lot of work pulling? Sign up for the group you want with the class you want then.

[Teppler]

I see king groups look for shaman all the time. Sometimes king isn't even camped. Just be over 57 or you're gonna have a real hard time with resists.

Not how it used to be bruh and def not how it was on a real classic server. Lots of greed floating around out there it seems like. Back then, you rolled once you got yours and then you didn't roll on it until you came back with a completely different group the next day. This way the other 5 people in your group got a higher chance to win one.

It must suck if this is the way it is now on P99. Can't wait until they wipe it clean. It WILL happen. Every server dies. We need a fresh start. P99 needs to follow the right timeline on it's next go.

100% this. I can't stand NBG mindsets or the idea that simply because you won something you are banned from rolling on something again. In the real world, sure this is the kindhearted way to go about things. In a video game MMO though, the only 100% fair method is to allow every person who contributed to the kill the chance at the loot. You can't force your "good samaritan" ways upon other people simply because its the "right" thing to do in your eyes. Allowing everyone who contributes a EQUAL shot at the loots is the only logical, unemotional, and 100% fair way of handling the situation. If you're with a guild or among friends then NBG can work out. In a PUG or whatever though it doesn't make sense at all.

This is easily the most controversial topic though I've encountered while playing EQ. Everyone has their opinion about it and they're usually pretty passionate about it (myself included).

I call bullshit on this subjective and biased assertion, bruh. It wasn't that way all of the time, and I rarely experienced what you described during classic on live (started pre-Kunark). It may have been that way sometimes with guildies and friends, but your feel-good sense of nostalgia blinds you to the possibility that your sole remembered experience might not represent reality. The problem is there is a heavy dose of victim mentality around here laced with a cut of bitter-bitch syndrome.

He was part of a cash camp PUG and everyone was there for the same reason. It really makes absolutely no difference if he would have left and another player came in and won. None. The others still lost. We all roll the same virtual dice with the same odds. Just because the dude hit a lucky streak the losers try to demonize him? Okay... Thinking that the other people playing an online video game - having different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences - should be bound to your sense of moral action and ideology is purely naive and arrogant.

This whole situation is why Nilbog has made clear that this server is meant to replicate Everquest's classic mechanics. Classic experiences are wildly subjective. And if you think the server being restarted is going to change any of this, you'll be very disappointed. It will probably only exacerbate the situation when you have 1000+ (perhaps vastly more) people vying for classic camps/items.

P99 is MORE than just mechanics, whether Nilbog says it or not. Here is the bit right off the homepage, man:

"Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Velious expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience."

A real classic experience is more just than just "mechanics." Everquest's main experience relies in it's community. To get the classic experience requires a mix of mechanics and community.

I need to make a thread and take a poll at how many people would pass on a second fungi tunic like that. I would pass in a heart beat if I had just won one. If the majority votes they would keep it, then P99 is no longer a TRUE classic server.

I don't see anything that you quoted that indicates anything about the community and their expected behavior or of this being a "TRUE" classic server. In fact, the devs have long said not everything will be the same; sometimes by design. I actually see specifically sited points on mechanics and technical game aspects like the 'look and feel of the old interface' in your quote. You're still stuck on your perceived classic experience as being the de facto experience everyone else should be having or desire to have. This server is undoubtedly the closest thing to classic out there and rings true to a lot of what the classic experience was to a lot of people. Your idealized experience based on your sense of morality is not what this server is or is even expected to be by, what I think, is the majority that still play here. Many of us (again, 1000+) are still content with what this server has to offer. Not because it ever offered a "TRUE" classic server, but because, like the message you quoted said, this is 'the best and most popular classic Everquest experience.'

Passing on the second fungi is fine if you feel so inclined to do so, and I'm sure it would make you feel noble, but to think that an entire community is falling apart or should be condemned for not doing so only shows your ignorance and inflated sense of self. Putting /thread at the end of your poorly made point doesn't help either. :rolleyes:

Lol what? You wrote a whole bunch and I was looking for you to make your point but you never did. Where in that quote does it indicate anything you're talking about? I also love how you ended it by proudly/arrogantly proclaiming that if majority would take the second fungi that it proves p99 isn't a 'true' classic server. Haha what? How does (continuing) to roll for an item have anything to do with true classic? Like, I don't even see the relation between the two. Are you trying to say people don't roll for items in true classic? I really honestly don't understand your line of thinking, I'm not being sarcastic. You should check your logic dude.

[skorge]

It was LEGAL to do this actually at one point before they modified their rules, believe it or not. I sold an account 100% legit on eBay back in the day for $1700 US. This was in 1999/2000 era.

Lots of Donald Trumps up in here I see. I never said the community was falling apart or should be condemned. I just said it's not a "classic" like community anymore like it was in 2009-2012 ish. This is my opinion.

Kunark really saturated the market with high end items, creating a non classic economy, leading to a non classic community IMO. I won't really go into but simply put: NOTHING was done to make up for the fact Kunark ran here for over 3-4 years before Velious.

I applaud the staff of P99 for doing such an amazing job with the server! It really is the closest anyone can get to the real eq experience and back in 2009-2012 it was even closer! Now that the devs have worked most of the bugs out I strongly feel that a new server would be huge.

Was it within the rules to RMT an acount on live? I remember people being banned for it.

[Kaedain]

i remember people selling/buying accounts in the "classic" sense, but to call it legal seems like a stretch, all of that stuff was in such a grey area since it had never been done really in gaming up until that point. personally the plat/account selling stuff dilutes the game/community quite a bit

[-TK-]

I never said the community was falling apart or should be condemned.

The wording of your post after giving an example of how fair and just things were in your memory during classic on live sure insinuated it; as if things are so bad now that there is no hope for the community/server.

Thinking a server restart is the panacea for the current server issues (as can be deduced by your previous posts) and that it would make some large portion of the community all of a sudden more altruistic in PUG's is a pipe-dream. A restart now, with more seasoned players than when we started on this server with low or sub 100's population, will not be the moral utopia some seem to envision. History will repeat itself. People that don't have jobs now, will still be here and be able to camp legacy items and cash camps nearly 24/7 like they do now. What's worse is that they will be more concentrated with less content. RMT opportunity for the sellers will be ripe in a fresh community, and the server will be very crowded. You will still be playing with the exact same people that you are playing with now on P99, and maybe even a few more. Why would you think the community would act or evolve (devolve, perhaps, in your opinion) into anything different on a fresh server? It may even exacerbate the 'greed' situation because people will actually know when the next expansion is expected and be more motivated to gear up before it drops. I'm not saying there wouldn't be lots of fun to be had and that a new server isn't something to look forward to, but it's better to be realistic about your expectations. I think, like many that are so eager for the fresh server, you'll be right back here complaining within the first month because it isn't what you thought it should be. With that said, the devs have said they would like to create custom content on P99, and being that dev/GM server involvement here may be at an all time low, I don't see P99 dying or a fresh server happening anytime soon (Discord anyone?).

As for the Donald Trump comment, that's lost on me if it was intended to insult me. I didn't propose to bar anyone from playing on P99, I haven't insulted any women in my posts, I haven't made any unsupported and outlandish claims, and I still have all of my real hair. I am working on achieving a billion dollar net worth, but that may still be some years away.

Is this kind of greed the norm? Just came back after 14 years and this feels disheartening. I don't have friends or a guild to play with. I always remembered a community that would help others. This is a turn off.
