Was poking around and read your channel on riot’s discord. Sorry you got guild kicked and lost all that dkp. Not really, I think it’s hilarious you’re still mad and pixel hungry.

P.S. I’m better than you.

Well, now that he is in Freedom, he did just get an Abashi from Vulak as riot stood by and watched Vulak die. Sounds like things haven't worked out too badly for him.

from what i heard, during his time in Riot, Kabull was infamous for harrassing (maybe terrorising?) other guild members for bidding against him for the loots he wanted (or he felt he was due). it was quite effective - over time his guildies did not bid against him just so they dont have to deal with the harrassment.

when he left, he also asked arcler to give him a severance package lol. i believe he asked for 3 items from KT, Vulak and one TOV dragon lol.... legit this is the first time i heard of such a thing...

Kabul went from a player who knew nothing and did nothing to a player who knew nothing but thought he knew everything and still did nothing very fast.

He degraded guildmates and made them feel uncomfortable at the best of the times. I always tried to tell him to stay humble and remember where he began but it was far too late at that point his head couldn't fit through the door.

This is gonna be a grats Freedom.

When you embrace intersectional feminism, postmodern identity politics, and socialist economics as the three-legged stool of your political philosophy you’re not going to attract a lot of people grounded in the kind of reality necessary to do objectively good work — and sooner or later it’s going to become obvious that none of your people can make your trains run on time.

At the end of it's lifespan, when this server gets powered off... each and every one of us is going to have to look at ourselves and ask: "Was that good time spent?"
There will be no reparations or severance package from Rogean and Nilbog.

Enjoy the time spent with people you meet and like, and ignore the people you don't.
There is no need to immerse yourself so hard that you are wishing death upon people.

Would a young child be able to successfully argue with another young child without resorting to name-calling? No, because the children are too young to communicate their hurt feelings to each other and reconcile as adults do.

Same with the people who, when faced with the truth, still cling onto outdated beliefs. With no facts to back them up, they have to resort to name-calling, insults and maybe even fistfights to get the upper hand.

In both cases, the attackers can’t verbalise their arguments because they are grasping at straws. They can’t accept the fact that they are wrong, because doing so would mean an attack on their identities. It’s human nature to do whatever it takes to protect oneself, so they resort to put-downs, insults and fighting in an attempt to preserve their “dignity”.

Not a whole lot of substance here.

Kabul feels he was ripped off. He spent 6-9 months peacefully and kindly talking to tani, Ity and arcler. They only ever finally replied once he joined freedom. Talk about rage inducing. Also he’s pretty inconsolable about it, riot was happy to use him to track, fte, swap toons, port, whatever for over 1,500dkp of time earned AFTER they decided to kick him. At least kicking me it was relatively instant; not drawn out to exploit free labour.

He bud 1123dkp for an abashi, which he had 1900dkp, and was given 750 joining freedom. So he never actually used any of his ‘dkp package’ amount.

The real fuckhead in this story is Detoxx bidding on an abashi above me for my main, for his 3rd abashi monk.

Can we get back to the real villain in this story?

I'm sure you've heard a lot of things from chronic liars.

You were one of three people ever removed from Riot for behavioral reasons. And in your case, you were given repeated warnings over a sustained period of time. I'd hardly call that a quick removal, as you put it. But perhaps you were too dense to see all those warnings for what they were?

And in Kabull's case, practically everything you said is a lie. I'm actually not sure if you even believe what you're saying. But it is easily disproven with various screenshots of PM's and conversations at the time of various incidents.

from what i heard, during his time in Riot, Kabull was infamous for harrassing (maybe terrorising?) other guild members for bidding against him for the loots he wanted (or he felt he was due). it was quite effective - over time his guildies did not bid against him just so they dont have to deal with the harrassment.

when he left, he also asked arcler to give him a severance package lol. i believe he asked for 3 items from KT, Vulak and one TOV dragon lol.... legit this is the first time i heard of such a thing...

Here’s the obvious take away here: Riot desperately kept Kabull around long enough until they couldn’t handle him anymore and that’s how it’s going to be for any guild he lands in if he pulls stunts like this. Freedom is no worse for giving him a chance than Riot was.

There is so much pretentiousness coming from a guild who had the longest uncompetitive reign at the top of the raiding scene and is now more concerned with scoring free Vulaks. Freedom might have a handful of players that rustle your jimmies but at least they are willing to compete and have some fun.

I remember being told to kill myself by a member of AM in /ooc who was instantly guildremoved. I got apologies from multiple officers.

But it's clear that was all a facade. Winning matters more than Freedom removing toxic assholes. Monrezz, DMX, and others were what made AM work. I haven't logged in for months, just check in on occasion because I still have a lot of friends that play. But the fact that Furoar and Detoxx are cool with their members telling people to kill themselves and wishing death on people says enough about what they care about.

I used to be super immersed in this game. I still am but it's different now. It's not about pixel immersion, its more like 'what is gonna happen today' and sometimes I'm surprised by something cool and amusing. Guys like OP and his budy are fun to interact with because sometimes this situation gets avoided and they become friends instead of hateful enemies over some pre-originated digital bits that have sorta existed since 1999 ish and just are.

I mean it's not like the pixels are unique. Or special. Their just a database entry and some shared graphics with like a global graphics file of other items.

I think several swords use the abashi icon and in game graphic?

But needless to say, I would have given someone my abashi, but not if they threatened me and called me names, then I would probably kick them from the guild and let them think about their life choices, maybe report them to the online safety PC police. These guys don't need perma bans tho, they need some incentive to keep trying.

I think what happens in a lot of cases is these guys just can't get it right, so they fight and scream and get upset only instead of being good sports. There needs to be a way we can rehabilitate these people so they learn to be obedient and lawful about pixel acquisition and to wait their turn like gentleman. If they get banned or quit, they just reroll and come back and yell at us again with a different name.

IDK. Some people can't be rehabilitated tho. And some people will always demand they get at least 10 abashi's while other people have none. It's not for me to decide who gets abashis, because I'm not willing to personally put in the effort to see one drop off a mob I helped kill.

For the same reason Monrezz/Detoxx instantly guild removed the guy in AM that told me to kill myself in OOC? It’s unacceptable behavior from anyone. Some things don’t deserve second chances. Telling folks to kill themselves and that they hope their family in the hospital dies is orders of magnitude worse than the things I’ve observed on this server. And reality is that reputation is *supposed* to matter here.

Of course, I’d say logging in another guild’s bot to train them is also unacceptable behavior, but that’s for another thread.

You sincerely expect anyone to believe that given the choice between 1) kill zlexak, and give riot an equal chance to contest you on vulak, or 2) leave zlexak in place until riot was disadvantaged compared to you (or disqualified entirely), that AG/F would choose the former?

You sincerely expect anyone to believe that given the choice between 1) kill zlexak, and give riot an equal chance to contest you on vulak, or 2) leave zlexak in place until riot was disadvantaged compared to you (or disqualified entirely), that AG/F would choose the former?

lol sure thing.

100%

I would never even entertain the idea because that isn’t fun. I can see leaving it up until prime time EST if it pops really late so that everyone is at an advantage, but not some 9AM ridiculousness. It’s a lose lose proposition unless all you care about is pure pixels. Killing Vulak without proper competition is unrewarding and if you somehow lose after having a huge advantage you just deflate your guild’s morale. We saw how they played out with Riot.

So I'm torn with this post.

On one hand; I completely agree with you in that it isn't fun sitting around with a blocker up...

On the other hand I have historical evidence: On numerous occasions when the final blocker spawned (Lady N, Jorll, Trips) FRAG and Riot were at a stand-still for literal hours trying to identify the best way to handle the Vulak Blocker. There is one unique case in that FRAG was killing Lady N for approximately 1+ hours consistently, holding Lady N at around 5-10% while they worked out a plan for Vulak.

So your argument is sound; it isn't fun. But the "We would never do this", historically, is entirely inaccurate.

4-6 hour contested vulak raids with blockers is brutal.

Playing smart throughout the cycle should bring an advantage, so don't screw up and get to a point where you have to concede mobs.

All guilds have messed up at some point or another and lost an advantage.
It sucks, but forces us all (Regardless of you guild tag) to try and play better.

We would never leave a blocker to an hour of the day where riot would have an issue mustering numbers. What you’re describing is leaving up a blocker so that we could have a chance at competing and was only something that was an issue before the Vulak blocker rule was added. It was rather silly that killing the last blocker effectively put you at a major disadvantage for Vulak.

I would not want to be part of a guild that waits until 9AM to kill the best target in the game just so that competition was reduced or eliminated. To each his own, but I would rather lose contested Vulaks than win free ones. Obviously if another guild needs to concede a Vulak you take it and move on.

The example you give kind of illustrates his point though. Instead of sitting by allowing the blocker to act as a blocker, we came up with a strategy that allowed us to kill both while Riot sat around waiting for us to kill Nev. Yes, it took us awhile to coordinate everything, but at least we were doing something that wasn't sitting around hoping the other guild would gift us a free Vulak.

Also interesting to note that in typical Riot fashion, they attempted to lawyer quest over it. Why compete when you can write 20 page google docs petitions?

There really is no hour of the day that Riot cant muster numbers. That's not a flex, if anything, it reinforces the main purpose of this thread...

What you’re describing is leaving up a blocker so that we could have a chance at competing and was only something that was an issue before the Vulak blocker rule was added.

I'm not sure I'm following this piece; "Leaving a blocker was only an issue before the blocker" doesn't make sense to me. I think I get what you're saying based on the below sentence though...

It was rather silly that killing the last blocker effectively put you at a major disadvantage for Vulak.

So yeah, this one I don't fully grasp, as it wasn't Riot that stalled Lady N for the FTE Lottery on Vulak, it was FRAG. At this particular Raid, FRAG had about +30 more people combined in comparison to Riot, but still held the Lady N engage for over an hour.

Regardless; to get back to the meat-and-potatoes of this thread, you touched on something extremely important here; waiting until competition is reduced.

I'm not in any way speaking on behalf of Riot, Kittens, FRAG, etc. just as some sad-sack that plays a 20 year old elf sim like the rest of you guys. But the purpose of waiting isn't to reduce competition, but to reduce the impact of that competition. We're all in the UN channel and see the bickering that goes back-and-forth in there. 30 year olds acting like children over pixels that respawn in a week (Someone can insert the "Sorry you didn't get Warder's loot" here :D)

No one enjoys investing a ton of time into prep just to get trained by another guild, then watch that guild leapfrog and kill something. And that isn't a dig at FRAG or Riot, that's just a general statement. It's hard to claim you want competition in any guild, when you're unwilling to accept loss or failure. If mistakes drive you to do un-sportsman like shit, then competition isn't your motivator; winning is, and you're proving to the entire community you're willing to cheat to win.

The "target" of this thread took the game to a level that it should never be taken to. It's concerning that someone would reach out in 15-minute intervals wishing harm upon another person. IRL that would legit warrant a restraining order or court appearance. The trajectory of this raid-scene and community isn't healthy if the first resort when seeing this is to poke fun or mock someone in this state of mind...

Just my 2 cents though.

If I remember; the petition was because FRAG held Lady N at 5-10% for over an hour on 2 separate engages (after wiping from the first engage) which is a clear-cut stall. The issue wasn't Vulak; it was that for over an hour FRAG prevented another guild from competing entirely on 2 targets while they "worked out a strategy"...

You're definitely overstating this. It was never held for an hour. We wiped twice trying to hold it and Riot never took any steps to engage N in between wipes.

This just isn't true. First of all, we wiped twice (for 3 total engages). After each wipe, any guild had ample time to engage and try themselves. None decided to - instead waiting for us to kill it so they'd have a free shot at Vulak. No single engage was over an hour. In fact, I don't think any of the engages were over 30 minutes. I know this because of a certain someone finding out how the enrage mechanic works (e.g. it refreshes). I was also the tank on the final engage, so pretty familiar with how long it took.

Additionally, at least according to traditional stall rules, that didn't count as a stall since we had a raid force actively engaged. The only rule that ever existed on this server about how fast you had to kill a mob was that you had to get it in summoning range within 1 minute, but I don't even think that rule is applicable anymore, and only existed to prevent DA stalling on CoTH race mobs.

I don't want to get into the back and forth nonsense about why what you said is inaccurate, maybe you're just misremembering.

This is a 20 minute long video of the MIDDLE of that engage, I have 3 other 20 minute videos I can share for before after as well as from another attempt. If you think I'm lying or cutting- you'll notice the right-side timers are the FTE 30-minute countdown timers and Lady N isn't even on the list, meaning 30 minutes past before that 20 minute video even started.

Again; you're somehow twisting my commentary into an attack on FRAG and/or Riot, and that isn't the case. I'm talking in generics specifically because this issue isn't unique to a single guild, it's a community issue stemming from the Raid Scene, and if people are willing to put down their tags for 2 seconds and recognize that there are serious issues that require serious discussion, regardless of tag, then maybe we can all start to enjoy this game again.

I provided insight into why targets get left up as well as expanding on that insight to the core purpose of this thread, in that; what is being viewed as "competition" isn't competition, but is an exercise in mental fortitude, which people are starting to leave the community over.

I shouldn't have brought up the Lady N, I just wanted to reiterate that, yet again speaking in generics; Both guilds are guilty of doing the same thing, as a response to someone else. If that digressed from my core point, then let's just say you win and we can move on.

But it’s not the same thing. Keeping up a mob that only you can kill until your opponent can’t pull numbers is the opposite of engaging a mob with the knowledge that you will be at a disadvantage once it does. Choosing to kill the last blocker in the previous Vulak meta was a disadvantage but something that has to be done or nobody has a shot at Vulak.

Surely you can see why your example doesn’t actually align with what we saw yesterday.

A lot

So I may have been off on the time, I still don't think it was two hour long "stalls" as you initially claimed. Seems your videos back that up.

Also, still not the same. One involves letting a mob sit up for hours to avoid competition, the other involves a lengthy engage to break the aforementioned stalemate.

Additionally, wasn't Riot the guild who blew up Tunare and Ring War agreements because other guilds weren't engaging fast enough, but now have no problem leaving Vulak up for a day to give themselves an advantage?

As for the problems and having serious discussion about it, pretty sure that has been tried ad nauseam on this server and never goes anywhere. IMO, things were much better when the rules were minimal, GMs were mostly hands off, and people didn't sit around in the UN and pretend they care about anything other than maximizing their guild's targets. The UN is 90% theatre where everyone tries to act fair and reasonable, but are really just posturing. Nothing of actual value getting done in there.

I see the differences clearly to your points, yes. But surely you must see the similarities.

Having a target unengaged to reduce competition is, to your point, nothing like the Lady N engage I mentioned previously.

But, engaging a target to prevent another target from engaging with the intent to kill (admittedly) but stalling the killing blow until you can devise a plan is just as devious as leaving the target up, in that Riot could have went in and just killed it. The outcome may have been the exact same, sure. But holding a target while plans are devised and leaving a target up has the same outcome; Vulak is blocked.

Again; it's not the point I'm going for, and I don't see issue with either side for a few reasons:

Competition on this raid scene is still, if not more, toxic than when the video was taken, therefore if executing a plan to reduce competition is a guild's way of maintaining their sanity away from the toxicity, is that wrong? Would you partake in an event where, upon losing or making a mistake, you were punched in the nose? What if you could avoid the punch simply by waiting an extra 30 minutes, would you take it?

Guilds going at each other's throats non-stop just because of a tag is inane in my opinion. We want competition but can't handle it. Winners taunting losers rather than congratulating them on a good attempt, "The Slighted" doing shit that gets them banned and/or g-kicked (reference other thread for that one)... This isn't healthy. We all play P99 for some semblance of nostalgia, and instead turned being BIS into the most important thing ever on a time locked server that's already 6ish years into the current timeline, and threw a middle finger to the community that helped build this in the process.

As previously mentioned, we wiped twice. Riot or any other guild had at least two windows to engage, and instead sat at trips CoTH spot hoping to snipe Vulak. The way you're framing what happened doesn't match what actually occurred. Riot 100% could have engaged Nev, and on more than one occasion decided not to. Us engaging is not what was blocking them, their own desire to get Vulak was.

I see we've moved past the actual events in question and devolved into ad hominem attacks, nice.

I think whether or not an entity actually went for a target when presented the opportunity is relevant in a discussion about whether another entity was blocking them. It speaks to intent. If Riot had no intent on engaging Nev, as shown by them not doing so when given the opportunity; it seems disingenuous to claim we were blocking them.

In one instance a guild clearly leaves a mob up with the intent to block another guild from killing Vulak. In the other instance a guild has a prolonged engage while setting up for an instant engage on Vulak. These things are not the same.

I would argue this should be moved to the other thread where we can have this conversation, if you'd like.

My intent is to discuss the raid scene and it's impact on us as a community as well as on individuals mental states.

If my commentary and "forced digressions" are coming across as attacks in any way, I apologize. I'm not intending on attacking but instead on dropping this topic on this thread particularly (not in general).

All my posts have been direct replies to comments you've made which bring up the Vulak/Zlex issue - so if your intent is to drop that issue, you aren't doing a very good job of it.

Also, thanks for your concern, but I don't think a forum dedicated to an elf sim is really the place to be solving the issues relating to the mental states of individuals. If that is your goal, I think you're going to be disappointed.

I can see that now, yes...

Definitely not trying to resolve anyone's mental state, but more bring to light the toxicity of the community and it's impact on individuals, using this particular thread-opener as a "guiding light".
Is the text that comes after your name in a 20 year old game that's been time locked in current-era for 6+ years really so important, that we cant honestly work together? After this long, hasn't anyone realized that the tag you fly in game isn't permanent, and the people you once competed against will likely be your guildmates once your current guild goes belly up for whatever reason?

Some people like the competition. Basically every other EQ server has some form of rotation or cooperation. P99 is unique and largely remained as popular as it has because it is the one server that has traditionally catered to a more hands off competitive raid scene.

As for the toxicity, why is it bad? Are online games not the best place for people to exercise their demons a bit? One of the other games I like to play is Rust, specifically because it is so toxic. When someone fucks me over in Rust I don't assume they're a bad person or lecture them on how we should all play nice - because that is part of what makes the game interesting. It is exactly because these games basically mean nothing in the grand scheme of things that toxicity doesn't matter. No one is actually being materially harmed because we're all bored nerds slinging shit at each other, and it certainly isn't a problem anyone should be devoting any sort of significant time to solving.

That may work for Rust, but is pretty clear-cut against the rules in P99 EQ. I mean there's literally a rule-set dedicated to "Play Nice". I don't think arguing toxicity is something that's part of this game is applicable here. I'd argue further that toxicity was what lead to 2 guilds being banned, reinforcing that toxicity is not tolerated here.

There is a middle ground. If you think the server is toxic now, you should have been around in the IB/DA/FE/TMO days... p99 is basically a daycare playground compared to back then.

I'm not advocating for straight up breaking the rules, but talking shit on the forums or discord literally hurts no one, and I would argue makes the server more interesting. Back in the day we used to regularly have like 100+ page RnFs with IB, DA, TMO and spectators from other guilds going back and forth. Now RnF is basically a mixture of General and Off-Topic. I mean, what is the point of even having a RnF forums if Rants and Flames are considered "toxic"?

Most normal, well adjusted people don't take this shit seriously. I can't even count the number of people I've shit on during an issue we're on different sides of, but actually like and get along with. Most of the people who have been raiding here for any significant amount of time have been around long enough that they realize how incestuous the guild factions have become at this point, so while you might argue issues in the moment, holding grudges is pointless.

The issue with this server right now isn't "toxicity", its an unclear and overly burdensome set of rules that enables lawyer questing and requires players the have some sort of encyclopedic knowledge of all the constantly changing ruling precedents.

You literally just described the mechanics of Everquest and are surprised that the metagame shifted towards an in-system adjustment towards its end-game.

This mother fucker needs Jesus.

What are you even talking about? Only allowing 2 mages has nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. Not allowing characters designated as "trackers" get FTE has nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. Restricting what buffs racers can use (or races themselves) have nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. limiting the number of mobs a guild can engage at once has nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. Imaginary lines that only a certain number of players can cross have nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. restricting where raids are allowed to kill a mob has nothing to do with the mechanics of everquest. I could go on...

Nothing I was talking about has to do with the mechanics, it all has to do with a succession of staff imposed rules that aren't actually updated or compiled in full anywhere that I know of, and seem to change depending on the whim of which particular member of the staff you're dealing with.

You know when the server rules were simple? No-CSR VP, and I'd argue that was also one of the most fun and popular raid eras on this server. Even in classic / kunark, raid petitions where pretty much limited to blatant trains... because there weren't a myriad of esoteric rules people could debate over endlessly.

Want to fix the raid scene? Scrub the rule book clean, enforce things already in the PNP (e.g. no training), and make minor adjustments if/when they arise and are necessary. Continuing to pile new rules onto a system spanning multiple game eras and server staff only adds more fuel to the petition-quest fire.

At least we aren't getting the full rotations Riot was pushing for. I can live with 4x per year, though I think we'd be smarter to land them during holiday weeks going forward.

I have no idea what p99 is like these days, but I'm sure its not fun and I'm even more sure that to make ToV fun again you just need to do these 5 things:

Bring back binding in zone
Unroot dragons
Unnerf recharges and cast times for bladestopper etc.
Delete range limitations for agro
Make it no-csr

If you've only been in ToV since *any* of those first 4 things were changed, I promise you we used to have a lot more fun.

Also maybe blow open a wall somewhere and make some custom wing with harder content but that's a heavy lift.
