So go on, leave P99 for a better raid scene...you just need to move servers every 6 months and grind again to guarantee your own personal raid bosses and a population that isn't on the decline.

It's a small price to pay, right? :o

You're a moron

I, and everyone else that played in era, have millions of plat on live and don't have to spend a cent on this shit.

They designed krono so that if you used to play a lot you will never have to pay to come back, or did you miss the whole point of it?


The many, many alterations and revamps that will be present kind of ruin it for me, but I'll be trying it out because my pals want to. (and we'll all play for free)

1. Grats to you on mudflation wealth, if you have millions and everyone else has millions - is that really worth mentioning?

2. Kronos aren't classic.

3. Alterations, revamps, and cash shops... it's all going on. I'm sure it'll feel just like the old 1999-2003 era just how we remember it.

I take it nobody is playing these TLPs for nostalgia's sake :o

No one is bragging, and krono is a steady price. Checked the bazaar on my old server when my pals said they wanted to play this. It's about 20k each and doesn't seem to fluctuate.

2. Kronos aren't classic
Notjint about agnarr is classic... have you played a daybreak server before? None of them are

[Doctor Jeff]

3.I'm sure it'll feel just like the old 1999-2003 era just how we remember ito

Literally no one expects this.

[wrighter00]

Did you miss the era where MMO producers realized that RMT was a very real and classic thing, and eventually offered things like Krono's and the station store themselves? It seems like a lot of P99ers forget that other people may have active live acounts and P99 accounts. I can assure you Vox and Naggy will be the same fights starting on any classic release server, but with newer graphics on some.

[wrighter00]

To answer my own question a bit. If you only ever had a classic Everquest (release-Velious) account, didn't continue through to more recent EQ live expansions, or try other games like WoW then you would have missed that era.

People of P99 may fit that profile

I had departed just after Gates of Discord, I'm glad that I did. Came back for a stint in 2008 when SOE launched a fresh blue server (players voted, its what they wanted) but they shitcanned it when they came up with a better idea (Mayong 51/50 server). By then I'm still not sure they had a Station Cash button on the UI.

The only thing SOE/Daybreak ever wanted, and to be expected, is short term revenue flow. So expect more and more servers to come and go...if you enjoy leveling a character or 3 and having it become less enjoyable because your player base moved on to the next thing then that's fine. I think those people are idiots though, you're better off on P99.

How many Phinny players are coming back? Probably more than want to admit it - see you at the start lines :)

It doesn't, why do you think people coming back from Phinny will be trying red server? That would be an enlightened decision <3

What a pecular attitude. Do you see your characters as an investment or something?

You can't take them with you, Swish. The time will come when you have to say goodbye.

To be honest I can't figure out the basis of your argument even if we assume that it IS an investment somehow. You don't LOSE your p99 characters by trying out other servers. You realize that BDA could pick up their p99 characters tomorrow and have lost nothing?

Fact is, Phinny may have an easy ride of things, but that still beats the zilch payout p99 has in its endgame. Even your CSG buddies have figured that out now, joining so many others. People are following the advice I give - they get to 60 here, they experience the raiding "game" for a little while to see the putrid wreck, and then they quit for somewhere else. They still had fun while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

How many Phinny players are coming back? Probably more than want to admit it - see you at the start lines :)

Have any at all, at least back to poopsocking? There's a few still valiantly trying to play more than one, but nothing more than that.

Even with A/A both suspended and raid mobs finally available, I saw 20+ AG on takp tonight. Once you get a taste of what the endgame CAN be like, you don't come back to raiding on p99.

[nostalgiaquest]

I take it nobody is playing these TLPs for nostalgia's sake :o

I will absolutely play the new TLP server for nostalgia's sake.

Swish, I like you man, but what a naïve point of view. I get the you will stand by p99 forever, and that's cool, but what is nostalgic about this server? The years spent in kunark, or future years spent in velious? The item flooding and inflation that has item prices nowhere near what they used to be in live? Or the fact that as a normal human I cannot partake in the raid scene here due to the fact that I have real life commitments that preclude me from being tethered to my computer?

I played live on Prexus, and up until about late velious/luclin the raid scene was very organized and shared. We had scheduled days for scheduled raids. Top tier guilds actually worked together to enjoy this game. That to me is classic. that to me is nostalgic. And it doesn't exist on p99.

The nostalgia I'm after is being able to experience the content that I enjoyed 15 years ago. Back then all my friends and I played EQ, so it was fun to be hardcore because I was 14 years old and didn't have much else to do except school and EQ with my friends. Now I've got a big boy job with commitments. Is it so wrong that I'd like to be able to see end game mobs again without having to devote my life to do it?

I like you swish. You make me laugh and generally are a good contributor to these forums. But you do yourself a disservice with these posts.

[Speedi]

@nostalgia

Every server was different. My server (Erollisi Marr) didn't have any type of rotation. Magister killed every thing during US times, and another guild named Divine Grace killed stuff during Euro times. The one thing I see different here is the previous mentioned guilds didn't kill everything the way guilds do here. They focused on current content. The *only* time they went back to old works bosses was when they got a new person in the guild that recently made full member and needed "x" piece for their epic. Here, the 2 top guilds will cut your throat over a Trakanon, or even worse a fear golem!

[Ravager]

Swish is just mad because he can't get a credit card. It's okay swish, they have prepaid options now.

[Phenyo]

As annoying as swish is, he's right.

Wow TLP Lockjaw opening!
Wow TLP Ragefire opening!
Wow TLP Phinnigel opening this time they've got it right for sure!

None of this shit is meant to last forever but the whole point of progressive characters is negated when you're forced to reroll every year because the server population hits rock bottom.

Only the most cucked idiots will roll on the new TLP

i play phinny to experience the expansions i missed tho

I don't think the whole point is negated when the new one comes out, I think that is the point. None of this shit is supposed to last forever. If you're really looking for a nostalgia fix, then you shouldn't be playing forever. Level your characters, complete the content, enjoy yourself along the way and then move on.

I only found out about p99 about 8 months ago. I made a character, and i had a blast reliving the glory days of 1-60. But then what are you supposed to do at 60 if you cant raid? Being a casual 60 on p99 is pretty boring. Especially if you don't play peak times. So i stopped playing. Still troll the forums to see if anything has changed that would bring me back to p99, but it looks like the status quo is here to stay, for better or worse.

Really shouldn't you be encouraging folks to switch servers? The raid scene is already crowded enough, losing a chunk of folks would trim the fat. Especially us filthy casuals begging for welfare pixels.

I chuckled heartily at this comment. Also, OP is a triggered autist cuck

[Segemund]

Spent $15 bucks, ain't spent a penny since. 20 krono to blow on goodies or subscriptions. Doubt EQLive will exist in 20 months. Was fun to experience the content on Phinny. Poopsocking ain't gonna work for me when I work 50+ hours a week and have a girlfriend.

[Doctor Jeff]

Doubt EQLive will exist in 20 months.

People have been saying that for like 10 years +

[Segemund]

A valid point, but Agnarr is set to "lock" at PoP era. Leads me to believe that it may be the last TLP. I've eaten crow before.

[maskedmelon]

i dunno how well DBG is managing its cash shop, but cash shops and micro transactions can be pretty neat because they allow everyone to play for free if they want. additionally, well done cash shops allow everyone access to cash shop items by making them tradeable. at that point it is just part of the game and nobody has an "unfair" advantage. sure, if someone wants to drop $50 on some CS stuff and sell it in game to deck their character out, they get an advantage, but then so do people who have friends already playing or people who buy collector's editions or people who are unemployed and have countless hours to invest.

[Yasi]

When I played EQ on live back in 1999-2004, I was 12-17 years old. Bunch of time, but no money. I enjoyed Luclin and PoP the most, I have most of my EQ memories there. I think Luclin/Pop is for me what most people mean when they say "classic" as they basically mean "awesome". "Classic" is a shitty word tbh (exception: you intend to describe an era in ancient times).

Today I'm working a lot, resulting in a bunch of money, but no time. TLP live servers allow me to exchange money for time. Take my money Daybreak!

[burkemi5]

The only thing that will remotely make me consider coming back to p99 would be the discord server. That sounds like it would be fun.

[Kagey]

The most classic thing about everquest... is Paying 15$ a month for everquest.

New tlp server going to be the best spot to farm Krono also. I've been on phinny for 3 months now and only paid for my first month, and now have 3+months lined up free. Also get awarded free 500DB each month to get cool things in market place.

[Hastley]

Just curious but why does swish care so much what strangers do with their free time on the internet?*

*disclaimer have not played p99 or live eq in many years . Seems like severe mental illness to be this concerned with strangers gaming habits .

Ps I have no problem with swish just find it strange he (or anyone else) is this invested in strangers gaming choices

[Swish]

Sorry Phinny players. You're on a sinking ship with too many holes in it...you can jump to Agnarr now or sink with your AAs and irrelevant pixels.

Love all the hate for me making this thread, sorry you're mad about being on a has been server. Please continue to post which instanced raid bosses you're killing or which pixels you dropped as your world shrinks down to nothing. Hell, this could be great for BDA... that private server you always wanted, the dream could be realized by proxy :o :D

Stay salty pals, watch the masses jump ship to Agnarr... you're all probably doing it quietly in an "Actually we can probably play both" style already ;)

[Yasi]

I think OP has some issues with the end of games. All games end some day. Singleplayer RPGs have an end, MMO Servers and games end at some point. You enjoy them till you do. I wonder if Swish plays board games with his friends.

"Hey Swish, up for some Monopoly?"

"Hell no! Please continue to post which properties you are buying or what houses or hotels you dropped as your world shrinks down to nothing when the game will end at some point! Salty salty pals, watch the masses jump to Memory or Old Maid. You're all probably doing it quietly in an "Actually, we can probably paly both games" style already!"

That's a terrible analogy, but the emotion you used is legit in the sense that you're mad about my last post.

[Yasi]

I've spent the last 17 years online. I barely have any emotions left at all.

[Bruno]

He is without question mentally ill. RNF likes to throw that term around a lot but Swish is a legitimate case. I don't think anyone could say otherwise with a straight face.

Baler is his only fanboi and I think even he has backed off on trying to defend Swish. Swish just goes full retard 24-7. It's hard to defend that.

[Swish]

You seem to go "full retard" whenever I post, fwiw :o

The good ole Swish defense. Anyone that provides any evidence refuting his usually retarded posts are met with "lol u mad." Soon enough we'll all get accused of stalking him. Just give it up Swish. No one gives a shit what you think about either TLP Phinny server. Believe it or not, they're actually having fun. Perhaps you are having fun playing your 10th alt on a server with no future. Perhaps you will still have fun playing them here in 10 years if/ when p99 is still up. Believe it or not, most people don't want to or care to be able to log into p99 in 10 years and farm the same old shitty content again and again.

[maskedmelon]

tbh, I never really viewed mmos as things to be beat. for me, they are places to be. i think that where swish coming from.

it really a silly argument that p99 is no good because developers on not going to generate new content. a huge part of the experience are the other players. the people you meet and how you interact with them and they with you. people never complained about having to choose between the same x levels on they favorite shooter, or the lack of new units in they favorite rts, or the lack of new abilities to employ in they favorite hack-n-slash, or the lack of new characters for they favorite fighter. why it matter for mmo?

i will say though, if not just an rnf thing for the lulz, swish, your bda hatemongering is kinda overboard. i been a big fan of you from the beginning and was super thankful you introduced me to red server with all you advertisements, but the bda thing is going on years. i mean it funny to troll and stuff and even I poke fun in the bra thread, but you seem genuinely angry with them. they gone. let it go ^^

[Spyder73]

I think its cute you think Swish actually plays P99 more than 5 minutes a month
