Players playing wrong game

[KungFusion]

I see that most posts about green/teal are complaints.
In reality, in game, i have not seen this negativy.
Dont like it? Please go play something else.
Enough good cooperative players around such that if you dont like P99 green, why do you still play?
How many of these postings should be in RnF? I would say 90%?

Isn't this a complaint about the servers you play on?

Don't like it OP go play something else.

[ZiggyTheMuss]

I just don’t get it. I never had any complaints about the staff or the way the server was ran while I was playing. It’s a free fucking server, it blows my mind how entitled people can be.

That right there is the problem. You can't have a criticism you can't offer feedback you can't have a different opinion or you get s*** like that on the forums from people who are frankly nothing but a troll. It's not a civilized discussion it's not a consideration of the point you might make in an argument against it it's always this outright dismissal with my way or the highway attitude. Frankly dude you are the problem here on the forums. Not me and not people like me who had concerns and disagreements.

we were trying to help. what are you doing?

You can have constructive opinions and feedback, but most of you whiners are trashing staff and ranting about how the server is dead.

You guys are very much the problem.

I'm only even hanging around watching because I understand that the community is an emergent system. Cramming a bunch of people into the same box doesn't build a community. A community can emerge from that or not depends on how stable the environment remains. My complaint has been from the beginning that blue had a really great and special community that no longer exists. I see people pushing and pushing for Server merges and this and that as if this Hotshot change or that Hotshot change will fix it but it won't. The only thing that will fix it is having a stable environment and time. I'm interested in seeing how it goes from here, could go either way depends on how much the players are interfere with or affected or change in the environment whatever term you want to use.

OP forums do not even closely resemble in game! Once you come to terms with this you can have fun on both!

Agreed. I have 100% loved my experience in Game... I've played p1999 (& OG EQ) since the beginning and Green is the most amazing experience thus far (compares to OG EQ). Only reading posts on this forum have created doubts in my mind. For example, I was working on Testament of Vanear for 7 hours last night and I literally "panicked" when I saw a member of the "Seal Team" enter the zone because I imagined them mercilessly taking my spawn.... only based on the rumors and reputation they've gained (in forum or Reddit).

Evaluating my behavior in hindsight, how ridiculous and immature of me to assume the worst just because of "word-of-mouth" he said, she said bullshit.

I say: live this experience how you like it and do it for you. Stop focusing on everyone else and trying to save your personal vision of what the (EQ) world should be. It is what it is. Obviously every "famous" camp is camped... there was no P1999 wiki in 1999. It was new for all. We had hand-drawn maps and Allakhazam.
Those days are over. Min/Max info is widespread so just don't be a "try-hard" and enjoy the content that maybe you've never experienced when "your camps" are camped. News flash: "YOU" don't have or own any "CAMPS" in EQ. You participate in them. If they're camped... move on and get creative, or roleplay, or powerlevel someone, or just chat. Min/Max is not classic EQ at all. That's the World of Warcraft mindset. Nothing wrong with Min/Max unless you think that's "classic" because it logically isn't. The internet was barely invented in classic EverQuest, bud. You had a 56k modem and a CRT monitor with a viewport that was a straight up box and third person view was unplayable.

So 99% of complaints about "the camps" being perma-camped is stupid. Because in 1999 there was no knowledge of "the best camps". If you want THAT level of classic you have to go back in time, friend.

Besides the toxic comments I'll get for my post, I appreciate the overwhelming amount of people that agree with me because I know 99% of you do. Not because I'm right but because it's common sense we all know and sometimes just forget to admit.

Happy hunting and good journeys to you all!

Thank you for the p1999 team that continue this project and only make it better year after year for FREE. You devs are the true heroes of Norrath.

Cheers!

Basing your conclusion of the player base on the forums, is like walking into a special needs classroom and basing your assessment of the entire school on that.

since you are on the defensive, seem mildly offended, curious yet confused and have given yourself over to victim playing..

You can offer all of those things, nothing is stopping it. The issue is you are bad at it. You are dismissed because you are terrible. No one has bothered to tell you that.
This is a forum, you are smart enough to understand this. This is not an academic forum, a business forum or a science forum. It is a forum about 20 year old elf role playing
and traditional forum culture of 'pwning' is still in tact. You are steamrolled because your skills are a beginner.. a level one hedge mage.

You are not lurking and are a noob at forum play. I have never even seen you RP on a forum about elf RP yet you criticize because you know something about community building.
I put you in the Horza Hotel awhile back but forgot why, you have refreshed my memory.

You dont NEED a manastone , a rubi bp or any other stupid item to have fun, it wont change anything i promise.

OP post. BUMP

This is typical everywhere. The forums for any game are always compromised of the vocal minority.

The people enjoying themselves are in game actually playing.

Server is fine now, was fine years ago too. You are just suffering from whiny bitch syndrome. Nilbog nor Rogean GAF about your tears, in fact you might even be bolstering their resolve to not make any changes because of the pathetic way people like you voice your “feedback.”

Facts! Only reason I swung by forums is because I'm having so much fun on Green that when I can't play because of RL responsibilities I wanna stay connected to the community. Problem is... This isn't that community. The people playing the game that you meet in the world of Norrath are.

You nailed it, Vizax!

[eurekaent]

Have I mentioned how much I love yall and how ironic and amazing that we're even having this discussion?

I mean EverQuest could've truly died after Luclin and the latter. But here we are. Playing our memories all over again of being little 13 year olds or whatever. That's all this is, friends.

Brad McQuaid, may you rest in peace, made this World for us. Not for gamers.

What a blessing.

Claws you for 70!

K go pay to keep the second server open then

[sycopata666]

150 players in EC making economy rolls, i buyed finaly one item i need, and i found 2 differents groups to make exp and ding 19, all is fine.

[bum3]

People fail to realize when eq was new no one knew hot spots or zones, no one knew any of these camps, people were spread out and wandering aimelessley, and 99% of players never saw a piece of endgame loot until thurg armor in velious

That's because there wasn't hotspots or high zems in classic EQ... they were added later and has been proven repeatedly in these forums.

MBlake, have I ever visited Horza hotel? Is it like paying for a port or being summoned by a high lvl metb to get there? :confused:

Being free doesn't mean that people can't offer criticism, feedback, or general complaints. Where I think people go a bit overboard is treating this as a paid service and then getting pissed when they don't get what they want.
