Let people raid

[Skarne]

I just wanna say this wasn’t a good idea. You should let people raid at this point and if it’s on the players for the love of all that is McQuaid come to some ground rules and work out the details later. Just be nice jeeze.

[indiscriminate_hater]

Cool post

[Argh]

People who aren't suspended can raid.

[Lostfaction]

The dumb move that killed blue. Couldn’t take 30 minutes to make a ruling on a petition that made any sense but can follow rnf posts all day.

People who aren't suspended can raid.

Amen to that! And ill still choose not to raid every.. single.. time!!

As a person currently suspended, dont let them raid until its worked out. There are clearly issues in the "top" guilds. Look at how new AG tried to cannibalize Nemce for coming back and saying "I'm taking my guild back because you guys ruined it's reputation." It's one of the ONLY threads I've seen locked in a LONG time. Every week there was some dumbass starting a new thread about how one of the guilds is on their death bed or decimated the other in the cycle.

Work out the details later is how we got to where we are now, and clearly people can't be nice. The other guilds are doing just fine on their own.

We can keep this suspension going well into next year if you want. The ball is in your court :)

i wonder who will be your officers then ;)

[Nexii]

Let bards be bards, and let raiders raid

[conoutoftrol]

Dragons are dying all is well in Norrath

[kaizersoze]

i wonder who will be your officers then ;)

In Riot? Probably the same ones. AG on the other hand, dont know! I am curious who Neo Azure Guard will have as well. And will the raid suspension apply to old Azure Guard and Neo Azure Guard? These are the questions.

[conoutoftrol]

My understanding is that if the guild name doesn't fit you must acquit

AG soon to be free

[tyrant49333]

Gotta wait for November 6th. If Arcler comes out of his mom's basement and sees his neckbeard shadow we all get unbanned, if not its six more weeks

[getsome]

Dust off an old alt.
Change your pc name.
Make sure eq installed on root directory.
Fire up vpn.
Go raid.

Dunno what you're talking about, tons of raiding going on right now. Just got my st key and life is good!

Can you elaborate on this? I used to play EQ on my work laptop quite often.

Keep the ban! Teach the nerds! Gear the Kittens!

Ban ban ban ban ban :D

Ouch, the infinitely spawning dragons aren’t getting killed by my toon wearing all their loots!!! What ever shall I do?!

So, as a riot member, are you admitting to prolonging the ban just to deny freedom and AG?

[Jauna]

You should let people raid

This is your own fucking fault for keeping all your fucking alts in the same fucking guild who the fuck does this holy fucking shit.

SPREAD OUT YOUR ALTS
MULTIPLE DISCORD ACCOUNTS
MULTIPLE GAME ACCOUNTS
DONT LET OTHERS FUCKING KNOW WHO YOU ARE. This last one is actually pretty hard because sometimes you want lifelong friendships and shit but in the end its not worth it in the event of guild drama breakups or someone in a competing guild recognizing you

Well if you read his reply to my comment, immediately going for the throat, it's kind of why we all got suspended to begin with my friend. You're not quite in the same boat, but perhaps the life raft floating away from that boat by obviously misconstruing what I said as Riot is just trying to deny AG / F loot when we're just as eager to raid as you, but all of us can't help but make snide remarks in RnF. As long as Ree / Neo AG and Riot want to all make jabs at each other, I'm 100% cools with all of us staying raid suspended.

Also multiple forum accounts.

Someone tell him. He doesn't know they can track all this lol. How do you think the RMTers get caught?

Ok.
If said character is in a banned guild and they leave to join another guild.. trouble.
sry you put all your eggs in one basket

You realise that the raid suspension pertains to the accounts of said players too, right? If you dodge the raid suspension, you just get banned lol. They have way more information than you think they do. Why do you think your computer tries to stop p99 from running with virus protection and you needed to have it make exemptions? There's more than just the anti boxing stuff in there.

where does it say that the actual player themselves are banned
The only thing I can confirm is if you(character) leave a guild to join/make another guild is a no-no

You've been an extreme partisan yourself this entire time. Maybe look in the mirror yourself.

[feniin]

People can't even agree to the definitions of words to help clarify rules. Unless we go full bore on rotations this shit is going to continue until GMs make the rules themselves. 6 more weeks of winter/raidban.

5+ years of adding rules, constant petitions and raid guild bans state otherwise. Ban hammer the 1-3% toxic, sick in the head players mercilessly for as long as it takes for them to leave, because years of history has shown they won't change.

I still vote for one mega GM controlled raiding guild. Only this guild can snag raid targets. /rolls only
Casual guilds get one week a month to play, 3 quakes a week for them to go nuts
Then back to regular mega guild raiding

This would remove the need for variance

[adruidarkly]

This whole thing is fuckin funny, look at these fools squirm.

this is why you can't have nice things

[Kief]

Starts off bashing the staff almost immediately. Man - the level of sadness is just too thick around here. Can cut that shit with a chainsaw.

I'd suggest making your own server if you're going to bitch at them for reading the forums instead of answering petitions. Lmao.

[kjs86z]

Been enjoying the vacation couldn't care less how long it lasts.

We're gonna be suspended for a few more weeks at least for sure. Talks sound like they are going backwards not forwards.

More Vulak for the Kittehs! YAY :D

[Oddbaal]

It gonna be ok

[Hrothgar]

Everyone’s 5th string “why not, I’ve never played a XYZ” alt in kittens is lookin pretty these days, eh?

Why not play TAKP where you don't have to compete and share pixels in order, as Brad intended?

[conoutoftrol]

because i can't fuggin zoom out with my mousewheel

[Nuggie]

I'm a bit late to the thread, busy day.

About the topic of info they have, seems like I recall ages ago during the DDOS days that one of the staff worked for the Dept of Homeland security and called the MF'er at work. The shit stopped quick(also Rogean spent coin on DDOS protection, there was a pic he posted about how little bandwidth the DDOS attacks were taking of the total. It was laughable, but anyways.)

The P99 crew are some Sharp folks. You're in their world. Go ahead and try to break the rules. But remember that the data never goes away.

[Hyjalx]

So what was the purpose of rooting the dragons? Now we gotta ban the 2 entities with 100+ people for weeks/months at a time, so others can even have a chance to see content. Cause lets be real, that has a part in this. If that was the point, this could have been done earlier to make guilds hash it out.

At least before, there was a chance in hell. Hard work. Learning pulls. Learning mechanics. Nobody has a chance now with them rooted. Zero.

Now it's just giant zerg vs giant zerg.

If I was one of the top 2 entities right now, I'd be brokering a deal not to ever petition each other again. Cause honestly, yall are on the same team right now.

Maybe the raid scene will get better when the zerg turns into 400+ neckbeards working together instead of 200+. How bout that?

This is a good point. I think the GMs were thinking, root the dragons, beef up the flurrys, makes a big guild take longer to kill to a dragon thus decrease the friction between competing guilds deconflicting them my time and space. What has happened though, is all the guilds have now formed into zergs and have the same problem as they did before.

So now instead of one or two guilds getting banned you have half the server pop on a ban. Honestly, I think the GMs need to come up with a system that works for them for petitions. Asking players to do it wont work in the same way you have referees in sports (I know, i'm comparing p99 to professional athletes, forget the BMI comparisons here for a sec).

There needs to be a neutral 3rd party to adjudicate disputes. Players can not be ass holes and that's valid, but at the end of the day someone else has to throw the penalty flag.

[Hyjalx]

The raid scene was totally dismantled, along with every raiding guild that didn't have 100+. Now we are in a position where competition doesn't exist, and blanket bans are the only way for others to play. Back in the day, nobody would care if a guild was banned. People would join a good, unbanned guild as the banned guild fell apart. But 10% of the server population wasn't in 2 raiding entities..

At least some of ya guys get to see some sunlight, there is one positive.

[Hotel]

no one wants to hear rational arguments for why rooted tov was the dumbest decision to ever happen on p99

they just want to experience the zone on their shadow knights

[hobart]

So what died the last three weeks? And how long was it alive?

toxic question, should extend the ban

[Hrothgar]

What we're bumping into is the intersection of:
1) The only fun way for a lot of people to enjoy the server at this point is to engage the endless "roll of the dice" to get pixels and, more importantly, deny those pixels to others (see: the amount of people who /q the server and/or stop playing as much after a BiS loot)
And, 2) Classic EQ just isn't rewarding once you bump into 1) being your in-game experience.

nice you figured it out

It's fun when you're tanking raid mobs and do things like take your pants off, tho. That was a high point in my p99 life.

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall for that one. Script kiddies and wannabe hackers are the worst of the E-tough guys. They all turn to cowards when caught.
