This server is screwed. Everything that is worth anything is being hogged by old timers. New people have to spend weeks and months farming. Thought about starting as a shaman? I hope you don't plan on having any of the important 55+ spells. Either that or I hope you have a friend with 250,000pp.

There is not enough new blood on the server and it's readily apparent. Time for a wipe.

Just play DBG version of this server when it comes out...

I don't think there is going to be a Re99

It was always hard for new players to get the pp to buy the best things. Its classic:)

PS. Want to buy shaman epic and spells for 20k total. Send tells or PM me here.

The spell that lets you farm anything you want solo should just be free.

And you think it's going to be easier if they wipe the server?

WoW servers are still up last I checked if you wanted easy pixels and instant gritification

It's easier now than ever to make plats as a noob, and items actually are cheaper than ever except for some very specific high end items.

I run into so many new players on this server, you don't know what you are talking about quite frankly.

Your post is nothing but a salt mine. Sorry OP.

Next time put it in it's proper spot, it's a RANT. Should be in RnF.

Heh, browsing archived EQ discussion forums shows plenty of cases of level 40-plus, even 50-plus characters using weapons and armor that are virtually beneath a newbie's dignity here on P1999.

torpor etc arent really all that rare. Play the game and loot your spells. Why are you assuming buying your spells from other players is the only path?

I was on Bristlebane server in original era. A member of <Ring of Valor> had a Cloak of Flames for sale in EC for 60-80k, I cant recall exactly but it was wayy up there. This was before Kunark release. This is the same time period when our guild druid, Xavier, had 1,000pp in his bank account and we all considered him EQ rich. Coin was never easy to come by and only a handful of people had the means to purchase things like a Cloak of Flames.

In the Kunark period our main Shaman, Cloudd, never had the spell til sometime later possibly during Luclin.

TLDR: I can't get what I want everyone else should have to start from 0 also.

This is pretty accurate. All those "new" players are alts or people undercover or banned scrubs starting over. Most are twinked and dont group if they can help it and some new ones dont stick around long. Not to mention the silly amount of lvl 60's parked everywhere making raiding a joke. If the server was released with accurate timeline I guarantee the raid scene would be different. Why? Because most wouldnt have multiple 60's for coths, rezz, ect... other factors as well.

A complete wipe of p99 servers would be the best thing for everyone. The p99 old timers might disagree but it would help thm put into perspective their life choices of being the biggest nerd here.

i think teh best thing would be to kill everyone. i mean everyone. except for me and like 10,000 10/10 females. Then I will repopulate the planet one womb at a time, i will also maintain enough computers and internet and EQ that when my children are of age i can get THEM hooked on everquest and we'll really have some fresh blood, then

PST if interested

Been there done that. Well, gave everything away one of the times but still counts. Iv talked with some people who cant even fathom doing something like that. These are the ones that would fight tooth and nail to keep what they built here even though its just lights flickering on a screen.

I think it's coded to automatically place the server offline if Filbus is removed from the system. :p

Can a resident troll please take the time to catalog all the 100+ previous threads like this so we can link it each time one of these is posted to mock them??

Thanks,

What confuses me is OP has a join date of November '09. If after 8 years and 3 months you haven't gotten the pixels you want on a time-locked server, you either:

1) Haven't been logging in much in the last near decade, in which case you don't deserve said pixels or;

2) Have been sitting in the EC tunnel in the last near decade, in which case you don't deserve said pixels

If you think the platinum grind in this game is ridiculous, don't ever play a Korean MMO.

Sorry, the RnF guys are too busy writing fictional stories to take on such an endeavor! (see RnF thread for reference here https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=286084)

I could see Mead or Swish doing this for you though. PM one of them and ask kindly, it might happen.

You and others confuse competition with addiction. You can see it all over the forums the words competition, get good ect.. are just slogans used so those with problems don't have to come to reality about the social and mental issues they are facing on p99.

Bro, get good at life and then you can speak up.
