I'm Disapointed

[Meiva]

I'm disapointed in the people running this server, and they don't owe me anything!

No holiday event? 25% exp boost sure, but really? NOTHING else. I don't play this game for EXP. I am going to sound like an incredibly entitled moron, but this feels like the thread for it. Allow me to vent please.

Don't allow a populated server to stagnate. Where is your hospitality? Why aren't you posting at least ONCE per week on the main page? WHY aren't you keeping us engaged? There are only a few of you from what I understand. Working for free. If you've lost your passion to maintain and entice, then pass-the-buck. Give the server to another. A complicated thing, and I understand that.

If you are checked out, then move on and allow another to take the reigns. No-one would blame you. What the hell? We are all asshole elfsim addicts. Just pass the torch. You all feel invisible!

Wah wah... You don't get paid. You all have an OBLIGATION to thousands of players. You all signed up for this. If you feel you're in too deep it's because you have succeeded. Succeeded in providing us some much nostalgia and joy. We aren't going anywhere.

Please keep us engaged. Please post something on the official page. Even if just once a week. You do not OWE us a single thing, though I do feel you have an obligation. Pass the torch, or step up a bit.

I love you all. I truly do. /rant off

[Meiva]

Ugh... I'm not done ranting...

The people who have made this server what it is. A FUC**** MASTERPIECE absolutely DO have an obligation to the populace. I do NOT wish I had influence over so many people. The passion many of us have for their incredible work is unsurpassed in my opinion. If the server was shut down tomorrow I know that I would cry, and lie to you all that I didn't. Truly a masterpiece of skill, ingenuity and patience. Give us a weekly newsletter, or something. Anything. I believe I speak for all when I say we appreciate you all so very much.

Filed under staff bashing. Awaiting permaban. Also I hope you brought your helmet because I'm thinking you might need it.

Joking obviously. Seriously though, there are plenty of player run events to participate in if you're actively keeping an eye out for them. Them keeping the server on is all I really expect. Also (and I know this is minor) but Llandris showed up in the tunnel for some shenanigans and Sirken gnomed everyone in WC. They have a presence, so to call them invisible feels a bit harsh.

I know it looks like I'm just white knighting for the staff but that's how I feel, I guess.

Hi Tuluven,

It's Nougat. I RAN THE 4th of July event. It took me hours to get the mats for the fireworks after realizing the admins weren't going to do anything. I agree that player run events help keep this server alive.

Where are the server admins though? Server admins maybe aren't paid anything, but be present please! Let us know what's going on! "We love you all. Please remember we do not tolerate two-boxing." And then next week "fill in the blank." SOMETHING. There is absolutely an obligation.

[LulzSect©]

/cringe

[Meiva]

I posted here to rant and expecting trolls. I think that's what this forum is for.

Server admins- If you don't want to be present then find someone who would like to be present. We all understand children are born, family pass away and you get sick. Months without some kind of post though? There are plenty admins to engage us.

I will continue to argue you have an obligation. All of you replying to this post are elfsim nerds whether you want to admit it or not ;)

[LulzSect©]

You’re one of those elfs that turns run off to walk into town, aren’t ya?

[Meiva]

Ugh I reread my post. /cringe

I think there is a message there though.

[DinoTriz]

There was some dude passing out fireworks at the tunnel last night.

Nice dude. He gave me plenty of them to light off.

I think his name was Nougat or something. A gnome or female halfling?

Nice guy. You should be more like him

[sereal]

Don't feel bad, they didn't do anything for Canada day either.

[Whirled]

Don't speak for everyone. You may be an asshole but I'm not.

[fstyle3454]

I am going to sound like an incredibly entitled moron

[rollin5k]

Op is a trump hater too I bet

[Meiva]

I hate you all, and yes that was me handing on fireworks with nothing better to do. Just as you had nothing better to do DinoTriz. <3

[DinoTriz]

I hate you all, and yes that was me handing on fireworks with nothing better to do. Just as you had nothing better to do DinoTriz. <3

That was you?

What are you complaining about then?

You took initiative and created an event.

Your fireworks were the only ones I got to see last night and that touched me.

Your efforts made me smile inside.

So don't complain, because you entertained this heart of mine.

[LulzSect©]

u guys gonna cyber in tunnel now?

I used to feel the same way. Then I learned p99 playerbase will be absolutely toxic towards any GM run event and the backlash makes it not worth it for staff. It's up to you.

[Mblake1981]

https://i.imgur.com/ei74Tbv.jpg?1

[Meiva]

P99 Player base is TOXIC?!?! Fuck off man. What an amazing community of strangers working together, and getting to know one another. You, sir, are not playing the game right. The vocal minority like yourself and myself do not represent the community.

I hate your reply, skarlorn, though I do respect your op opinion.

[Meiva]

Aunt Jemima or gtfo.

[DinoTriz]

Thank you for providing fireworks, though.

Seriously.

I enjoyed myself.

Who knows? You may even prevented one of the many suicide attempts I contemplate.

What I'm saying is... You saved my life.

Possibly.

[Meiva]

I will always have fireworks for you DinoTriz. /t Nougat anytime! Seriously.

[Mblake1981]

Aunt Jemima or gtfo.

it's all corn syrup anyway.

[Meiva]

There is an obligation. There truly is.

[DinoTriz]

There is an obligation. There truly is.

What can the staff do that the player base cannot?

Players plan events all the time.

ALS is raiding Qeynos Aqueducts soon, for example.

[Meiva]

I love the ALS raid post! I'm hoping to attend.

I also just realized I maybe broke a rule. I was not "shit talking" staff as Sirken has stickied. I'm simply passionate. Hopefully that passion is observed.

The staff can post more. I think the most reasonable example is guild MOTD. SAY SOMETHING! It takes less time to post something on the p99 website than it took me to write this post.

I'm asking for some hospitality. I've been around a while. I see glimmers of hospitality. Hospitality. Hospitality.

You're all going to hate that word, but most want it. Be present. Be aware. Have a response to anything. Ugh... I'm beating a dead horse.

[Mblake1981]

What can the staff do that the player base cannot?

I need a sense of pride and accomplishment. I blame the staff.

[LulzSect©]

Too late now

The ban is imminent

[Llandris]

I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but I spent the day with my family, eating burgers and lighting fireworks. I'm sure most of them did the same. Imo, the only obligation we owe to you or anyone else here is a stable server to play on that mimics Everquest how it was in 1999-2001. I think it's safe to say that nilbog and Rogean have fulfilled that goal and have kept it going for 9 years.

Could there be more GM events? Sure, I will not deny that. Could there be better communication between staff and the player base? Maybe. But as Rogean has said before, he will release information when there's something to actually report. There's not much atm. Chardok is done, waiting for patch. Small fixes are being done day by day (check bugs section). Green is still in the works. Unfortunately I cannot tell you anything about discord, as I have not asked about it in a while. Things are status quo. The devs work on things when they can. This is nilbogs project, he has the right to do things at his own pace.

[Meiva]

It's been a pleasure, ladies. I will continue to hate and love you all.

See you on the other side.

[Swish2]

I'm disapointed in the people running this server, and they don't owe me anything!

No holiday event? 25% exp boost sure, but really? NOTHING else. I don't play this game for EXP. I am going to sound like an incredibly entitled moron, but this feels like the thread for it. Allow me to vent please.

[Mblake1981]

Go fuck yourself OP

quests should have markers on my mini map.

[Meiva]

Thank you, Llandris. I think you maybe missed my point, and my career is hospitality. It is brutal and unforgiving. You will never appease everyone.

Llandris, you are the person I would expect to post something on the website front page. "Hello all! Enjoy your adventure!" It's such bullshit to have to post that, but its YOUR duty. We can't update the front page. It's the first thing new and existing players see.

This post was never about updates, and of course never about attacking the team that runs the server. I hope you all can see that.

[Meiva]

Go fuck yourself OP

I'm on the same page. I don't know why I care, but I do. I love the people I play with.

[Mblake1981]

trying to be hospitable to the small vocal fart smeller requests.

Implement parkour.

[Teppler]

Honestly sometimes I get the feel some of the staff hates Everquest and the player base. For those people that don’t like to be bothered, I wonder, why are they even in this at all?

[Meiva]

I can't argue anything in your post aside that they provide us content and support. The problem is that can't be enough. The community here has been here for quite some time, and we need some leadership that will guide us. Maybe even just be more present. It is now owed to us though, but if I had a community this large, I'd just peace-out. I would never want it in the first place.

The staff here has it. They have thousands of people in their hands. Some just want to be happy, some are already happy, the problem I've noticed over the years is their presence seems to be fading away...

There is an obligation.

[ZiggyTheMuss]

I don’t think they owe us anything, I am happy that P99 is here at all. The players are and always have been the leaders of the community, on live and on here. Like others have said previously, the times when there have been GM events, people still find a way to complain. They have 2 earthquakes a month now, people still whining. It is the vocal minority yes, but it’s still got to be disheartening like when Braknar put a lot of effort into creating those Halloween quests only for people to shit all over them.

Yes, I have to agree with those who also said the GMs probably hate the players for the most part. The ones they come in contact with the most and have to deal with through petitions are the mentally ill/anti social beards and I’m sure that would leave them jaded after a while. Perfectly understandable.

Again, im just happy they haven’t pulled the plug yet.

[Mblake1981]

For those people that don’t like to be bothered, I wonder, why are they even in this at all?

[ZiggyTheMuss]

I think the main point here is that the idea of hospitality in the sense that you are using it is a concept intended for paying customers. Just be happy that P99 exists at all! It could be worse, a lot worse. Thank you Llandris, Nilbog, Rogean!

Judging from your post and follow up replies I'm guessing you are just trying to get banned on purpose in some kind of blaze of glory.

It's sad to see the tone of posts like this, if I had to guess it may even plant seeds in nilbog's mind to unplug the server. Sometimes I wish he would for like a 10 day stretch to throw some weight around and let everyone know to shape up. To show people that it is just a game and not to bite the hand that feeds. And people like you get an IP ban and all accounts deleted.

Staff doesn't owe us shit, buckaroo. They don't even need to release Chardok 2.0 if they don't want to. Or Green Server, or Discord, or EXP bonus or any GM event.

I echo Llandris' comments about spending time with family and friends on holidays, I would love it if they actually didn't implement any events / EXP bonus during these times. Or maybe randomize it such as Earthquakes (variable for start date, end date, and exp bonus all subject to RNG).

It is a shame to see people shit on GM events, it's like they aren't satisfied unless they get a guise or BiS item. On live I came across a GM event in freeport about some nervous paladin walking around town and recruited a player for protection. The player recruited more people to guard this guy, we heard Dark Elves speaking in their own tongue but couldn't see them (GM invis probably), and eventually they attacked and we slaughtered them and saved the day.

The loot on the 2 Dark Elves? A pair of Fine Steel Daggers each. But lemme tell you, I was immersed as hell. Got my roleplay on, heart pumping... just loved it. I'm guessing staff doesn't dare try that shit here else they'll get a big fat RnF about it.

I thought Braknar's Halloween event was a thing of beauty, I even created a thread about how awesome it was to have that rush of the unknown recreated for a brief time (I didn't even get any loot out of the event, I didn't care). But I don't blame him for not doing another one after people griping about not getting some loot from a boss fight that crashed the zone.

Hell, I remember nilbog made a thread nicely stating how this guy from Pantheon would be coming over in the next week or so in EC tunnel to answer questions and promote Pantheon. The thread was deleted in like a day or less, people posting stupid shit about "lol Brad does drugs" or "vaporware gets released?" or whatever. I mean seriously, imagine the pride nilbog must have had to be contacted from the game creators of a game BRAD MCQUAID is making, the same Brad responsible for the project he has painstakingly recreated over 9 years to have his player base make embarrassing comments like that? No one should expect a damn thing from staff after having players behave that way.

Threads like this shouldn't exist or have a lifespan as long as it does, you may be chuckling at how you are saying these offensive comments and getting a rise out of everyone but damn man, have some dignity and respect.

The only OBLIGATION here is for you to donate $10/month to the project for each month you've played here for free.

[Mead]

random exp bonus(don't announce it) could recreate the voodoo social experience of the old days

[Tethler]

It was cool of you to pass out the fireworks. It was fun to see them for a bit!

That said, IMO staff doesn't owe us anything. They put in the work to provide a functioning server in their own free time. This is not their day job. They do not get paid. If this was a subscription service I'd be more willing to agree with your position, but it is not. Hell, I'm even surprised they have GMs ingame to resolve disputes and answer petitions.

Enjoy your free game and appreciate that we have it at all :)

[Troxx]

Maybe the server admins were spending time with friends and family IRL? Maybe you should have been too instead of playing p99?

Just a thought.

Keep up the good work staff. Exp bonus no exp bonus, event or no event... P99 is great
