P99 a game about “Fairness”

[magic32and1]

Can’t imagine myself playing p99 anymore when this is how a gm takes it upon himself to take away the “fairness” that this game holds so dearly. And to keep someone on staff for it is going to cause even more scrutiny and mistrust from those that play on a daily basis. How many chances is a future gm/staff going to get to be retained and how much more severe can their actions be handled when this game is all about putting time in to get desired levels and objects. You mean to tell me that if I’m good friends with a gm that I can get an unfair advantage and that gm gets a slap on the wrist?

To me sending a clear message that gms are held to the highest standard possible in this free to play game run by volunteers is of the utmost importantce. You said it yourself he was a gm of 7 years......does that excuse the fact the games morals were put into question or that his longevity makes up for this reprehensible action?

Fairness in p99 is all the player base community can ever hope to get and in this instance it was not met and going forward this sends a message to gms that if you violate your terms of agreement as a gm you will be punished but not banned. This sets a horrific precedent for future cases that may arise. Longevity should not be an excuse for retaining a staff member. In real life situations it doesn’t matter if someone has been there 1 month or 25 years they are still held to a higher standard when in a power postion. For example Joe Paterno of Penn State.....tell me his longevity mattered in the end?

Point being when you violate something that is cherished and much needed in a game such as this you shouldn’t be allowed to be involved in it ever again. Players are held to that standard so why aren’t staff.


If this post gets me banned then so be it. Maybe opinions shouldn’t be shared on a forum and our voices shouldn’t be heard. My hope is this post isn’t seen as bashing staff since that is such a sensitive topic. But in this sense the players have been “bashed” by a staff and yet he isn’t permabanned?

Which of your mains got banned for shady raid shenanigans?

[magic32and1]

I don’t raid and never will.

Sounds like you are being purposefully vague about what you're really mad about. I agree with the above poster- what did you do? You know what, forget that. What are you accused of doing that you got punished for?

[Jimjam]

This particular plot has failed, don't waste time continuing it. It's embarrassing.

At least have the humility to concoct a new plot.

Maybe try framing the object of your distaste as having committed RMT? Is that what you got banned for? Is that why you are so mad a widely available spawn timer got shared in a moment of lapsed judgement?

Tldr waa waa enjoy your other game

The guy dedicated 7 yrs to an EQ emu and wanted to use his powers to get some titty pics. Is that such a crime?

Discrimination. I don't feel like I had equal opportunity to send pics of MY tits (or nutsack, or balloon knot, whatever CSRs/devs wanna see nowadays) to get special favors. Gotta open that shit up to everyone, man.

We live in an era where we are striving to achieve gender equality, for crying out loud! This singular event just set the #MeToo movement back a decade or two at least, by my estimation.

Game being unfair is classic

Therefore this server is perfect

Unequal opportunity based on available time to invest has been a core principle of EQ since 1998.

I feel you can send picks of your equipment to officials, provided you spend at least 80 hours / week online.

Have to agree with poster. Don't have any chars above 30 but reading about everything that happened does leave a bad taste in the mouth and as much as I want to continue playing, I don't feel right about it. I can understand his concern... some people don't want to invest their time and energy in a game where shady things happen...

As for all those people who are calling out the poster... do you not realize that perhaps you are part of the problem? I read through the responses from everyone and no one really added anything beneficial to the conversation... just attempted to put down the poster and make jokes at his expense.

[tsuchang]

Yup, you do the crime, you do the time. If you get caught, otherwise you are a Clinton.

EQ was never about fairness. It was about being better than everyone else. And having fun with your elf friends.
