Training shit to zone-in isn't how most people experienced classic EQ raid content

[Dolalin]

But you're basically forced to do it in order to compete.

Sucks man.

Praying for you

Help me, Sir-kenobi, you're our only hope...

Let's burn 15 soul fires and 10 idols on the dragon we are single pulling to the zone line
Brings back memories of why i wanted so dearly to re experience this childhood memory.

I didn't get to take part in the ToV server open raid crawl due to work. How did it go? Saw some videos looked fun

Will prolly never happen again because I heard even with 100+ ppl it took like all day. And ppl like their pixels fast

I wonder how many ppl would still raid on p99 if zone pulls where outlawed or the dragons where rooted

Just means there would be coth mages at every spawn. Or close to it.

Well there already is depending on how well equipped the guild is...

Dagarn ledge (above dagarn safe spot) - is close to feshlak, dagarn, kriezen, and aary, probably the closest to vyemm as well (bit vyemm can be pulled their wall in West)

Vulak - coth mages are on the pillars behind his spawn + coth mages in the pom cubby

Koi pond - as long as koi is not up can coth under the water line and be safe

Doubles - coth mages are in the safe corners

Tripples - in the swimming pool in the middle of the room

Venom and eashen - can just run into north

There is prolly other spots you could hide a mage but I don't know the pathers in North super well so not aware of others

These threads (this is far from the first) have made me so amazingly happy that i was too casual back in the day to experience any raid content then. You people who claim that p99 is "worse" than the reality of classic EQ... did any of you experience actual classic? or are you all whining about fantasies you created back in middle-school when you read raid guild public forums?

[Nexii]

It would still be more fun to COTH up than have every single fight done at zone in. A good middle ground IMO. Root the dragons!

Varied from server to server, but The Rathe was absolute heaven compared to this abomination.

root the dragons campaign 2019

[imsorryGMs]

Root the dragons, release the Shadows of Luclin!

At least wizards would be wanted again...

Live had expansions coming out regularly, preventing traffic jams (to a certain extent).
P99 does not have traffic jams, it has a stop sign, and the lvl60s + lvl60 alts are piling up.

Raiding scene will not, and cannot, ever be like Live because this is a nostalgia box. For many this place is about getting that full set of BiS they never could on Live and/or gearing up alts. For others it is enough getting the odd awesome lit as f*** drop and causally raid and others prefer to play like ALS or whatnot. Find out which nostalgia plan is right for you!

Nostalgia is a deceptive little bastard and the time to experience EQ1 "like it was during classic" is gone, forever. Give up on it and enjoy the result of the effort put forth by those who made and continue to maintain P99.

rooting the mobs leads to absurd shit like summon tanking

[Sonderbeast]

Classic raiders were noobs.

[Doil_Boil]

are u projecting that your IQ was too low to raid in middle school onto others?

Implying that a high IQ rather than a lack of social intelligence was the most common middle school eq raider trait?

[Wonkie]

Classic raiders were noobs.

[Schaduwridder]

tov dragons were perma rooted to discourage training in tov

[Thomacles]

You are kidding, right? Pulling like that to ZL has been a standard technique since Beta. Obviously, you are a youngster or a troll. Or, perhaps a young troll?
