Gargle the steaming rhea of the “Endgame Blue Raid Scene,” keep getting cucked by Lulz on green as you wait in line to play, or spend many years getting caught up on content you’ve missed out on.

You decide!

Weird. Up when I click it.

Anyway, nothing worse than sitting in EC Tunnel decked out in raid gear and only being able to touch group content.

There is something worse than that. Playing on live servers.

Would have been cute if you didn't underscore your own rhetorical implication.

At any rate, point being: there's tons of shit to do on Live, rather than raid Vulak in Vulak loot... at 3am on a Tuesday.

I will never publicly acknowledge this. Maybe when I'm screaming into my pillow tonight as a fall asleep, but not here, not now.

[Donkey Hotay]

Those Vulak guys are a bunch of sad sacks but at least they're guys playing with other guys rather than a group of their tea party dolls.

[Hrothgar]

"Those vulak guys" implies you're not one of them; i.e. you still have things to do on p99. Opinion invalidated!

[Donkey Hotay]

When I want to explore someone else's imagination alone, I read a book.
As a totally unrelated aside, can you visualize images or objects within your mind?

After dabbling on modern eq its clear that early eq is the only real eq.

Late eq has some good stuff, but its not all good and the worst part of it is being run by a seemingly inept company that's simply bleeding every cent out of the player while putting in the absolute minimum.

Still beats farming vulak for the better part of a decade though, so there is that.

Claws of Veeshan

Is this describing the P99 raid scene? Frozen in time? Has Menden swiped the lands of p99 velious with his icy claws?

Velious is overwhelmed with writhing ice. Frozen undead swarm everywhere. The few survivors throw aside old hatreds, for now at least, and band together to survive.

The heroes of Norrath arrive to help them, but they have not discovered the source of the deadly ice.

The remaining giants of Kael, now more able to move around their city, carve a tunnel out to the Cobalt Scar. It is time for the bravest heroes of Norrath to challenge the dragons of Velious and put an end to the deadly magic that has tormented the citizens of the continent.

Rise to the challenge! Face the ancient dragons of Velious and bring them to account for their actions!

Curious, do you do this while /listed or while sitting outside ToV earning DKP for SoWing people?

[Tunabros]

eq live is just older content but higher level

ruins of kunark - empires of kunark

scars of velious - claws of veeshan

hmmmmm?

To some extent, although there's a storyline behind it. The game is very, very quest-heavy now + tradeskills + small-group raids (missions), and stuff, so it encourages you to buy into the dev-side of things and not just EverGrind. Y'know... Not just sit in geonid caves from 46-60, but really know 'why' those geonids had to live in such unspeakable conditions ya know?! =P

Joking aside, yeah - the re-doing of a lot of the 'favorite' zones from the 90s is pretty cool tho. I like the new OT, etc. People flip out about new Freeport, and yeah, nobody fuggin goes there anyways, so it doesn't really matter. But the new combat zones are cool. Just saw new Dragon Necropolis and it's a big upgrade. Siren's is now inside the cobalt scar zone, not a separate zone, so that's also cool. Haven't done any of the new missions yet, but you can get in Beta now and check it out...

IKR, you can just box a few characters with mercs and solo raid bosses. Much better.

Dont reply.

[Hrothgar]

Lol zero of you people have any clue what’s on live, is really my point. Boxing raid bosses? Wtf? Live is hard af compared to all the lvl 50s rollin around in endgame gear on blue - subpar tanks can still get one rounded by group content on live at max level. Don’t think anyone’s taking those odds on blue, where you beat up on Sol B content in Velious gear...

Oh, yeah I should know better after reading a few threads and pity replies to dude.

So weird though! Hard not to reply just to state that.

About 2 years ago I gave live a shot again. Played about a month on my druid. Ran around soloing Planes of Power and Omens of War raid bosses for the nostalgia. Leveled from 65-95 and got bored and quit again since I didn't want to farm 5,000 AAs (on top of the 25,000 AA's that the game just gives you)that are needed to be a viable endgame character.

The players that are attracted to p99 are generally not interested in that kind of crap, which is why we play here and not on live. You're wasting your energy attempting to recruit on these boards.

27th expansion? The level cap is now 50 + (26x10) = 310?. That's pretty expansive...but not expensive!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot! We got a player base of non-contributing expectation-havers on p99, where we just spend our free time playing games on a few hard working guys’ hard earned dollar, and then expect them to do things like spend their billable hours babysitting us because we can’t sort out how to share 21 y/o content for our “second main” and “third alt in a different guild.”

If you’ve been playing p99 and haven’t contributed north of $1000 in the 10 years you’ve had your account, you should feel bad about yourself and how you use other people’s resources.
Friends and family? Who needs em!

Imagine adopting a corporation's third-hand financial interests as your own personal crusade.

It must be an odd feeling to go out of your way on a different game’s forums just to attempt to entice them to come over to your game via low-effort insults.

Good job though!

[Hrothgar]

Tfym, I’ve got a few EnDgAmE toons I still play on Blue that are on a DKP chow line from one of the “big three” waiting on a palladius, which will probably take me another few years to get, esp if nobody can zone in to ToV till Bernie is president, or whatever the hell “leadership” thinks they're waiting for.

Blue endgame isn’t fun. That’s my point. It’s a stagnant cesspool of cuckery, where the only reason people raid is because they’re too invested at this point to realize they already “Beat Velious.”

That’s why I know. It takes one to know one.

[Donkey Hotay]

Yeah but there's this connection from "Blue endgame sucks" to "Let's play Live with multiboxers" that we're not understanding here.

[Hrothgar]

Donkey, honey. Baby. People stopped listening to Nelly. Master P never made another good album, and JNCO jeans went out of fashion promptly into the new millennium.

Some things from the 90s are fun sometimes. Sometimes it’s fun to see how tastes evolve.

[Donkey Hotay]

I'm good with stonewashed, thanks tho.

[shuklak]

I think the theory is that on Live there is still some semblance of actually playing a video game.

The proportion of hardcore raiders that don't actually have much fun, relatively, would likely be shocking. I know for one I was at that point at a time, and you don't exactly quit the instant the fun drops off.

I miss blue server circa 2015. Great population and still lots of people in all level ranges.

Have y’all seen the price of retail console games these days, or do you just play ReNT FrEe on privately hosted servers that you don’t even consider donating to?

$40 for an expansion that will take you 8 months of active raiding to “beat” is nothing.

Is $40 a lot of money to you in your adult life?

[magnetaress]

$139 for virtual pets and an orc costume that aughta just be part of the base game is a bit much.

“Ought to be part of the base game” in regards to an illusion clicky, on a forum for a free.99 elf sim where people waited in /line, shirking their real life obligations for LITERAL DAYS, just to look like another PLAYABLE race?!

If the GMs on p99 (were able to) monetize(d) content, they’d be rolling in dough. Don’t act like you asshats wouldn’t pay top dollar for all/all illusion clickies.

Sure hope all you contributors to the UN are doing your monthly donations btw - pay your babysitters, please.
