bro, quit hating. im really enjoying this episode of law and order: NToV. gonna need to see a line up of every monk at trips that night!

[indiscriminate_hater]

Seems like Riot is losing so many raid targets that they're dumping petitions on the GMs to try and trigger another blanket suspension across the board. Might be the only way they can stop FrAG momentum at this point.

I think anyone who still plays this, whether you’re in the “good guy guild” or “bad guy guild” needs to take a hard look in the mirror before clicking login. If you can say with a straight face that this is what’s required to relive my dreams of raiding in EQ well maybe it’s time to let those dreams go lol.

Any GMs out there, the way you kill this, stop allowing multiple accounts. No more coth or idol bots, no more plvlers and porters, none of that.

You want to keep the coffers open then don’t complain too much when the you receive a thesis paper from some angry elves...

[Albanwr]

oof

[Croco]

Seems like AG/F is breaking so many raid rules that Riot is forced to petition because AG/F won't make it right even when they're clearly in the wrong and might end up triggering another blanket suspension across the board. Might be the only way they can get FrAG to stop cheating at this point.

FTFY

[White_knight]

This sorta effort is beyond guild v guild. Heck every guild has it's good and bad.

This is an example of the depth that some people find themselves in on P99 in what should be a hobby/escapism/fun activity.

You could swap all the guild names around and 20 year hate people have for each other from the 30 guild iterations blue has had and just observe the effort that a person has gone too for whatever aggrevences they obviously felt that week. Once you start Dear Diarying it's time to /quit the game for your own mental and physical safety imho.

Maybe before then.

I think a lot of ppl are just dying. Dying of old age. Degeneracy. Covid. Gluttony. Dying right along side America. Because they are old and tired and have been destroyed by decades of Coca-cola induced stupidity and stupor.

So this is like their outlet. Cuz they started playing this game when their minds were able to learn still. So all the new stuff the experienced falls away and their left with their old habits.

[magnetaress]

So like they can still output some interesting infos. But like its in the form of P99 guild grievence psychopathy. Because its kind of like their haze dreams of pixel questing getting tangled up in what they are good at, typing into the computer (what they did the last 30 years of their life).

This place either has reached max level entropy or its gonna get really interesting by 2034.

I think the project should still go on obviously, it's important and who cares of ppl are nuts. It's like the kind of nuts they are used to.

Some will get some spiritual growth from it. Otherwise likely a solid 1/3rd the population would just quit and drool on themselves and blow up ATnT buildings cuz "horns".

[magnetaress]

I can't exactly feel bad or even really feel for these people. But I can enjoy the insanity while I still can. I don't think its wrong to get a laugh about it.

I do think ppl are genuinely hurting tho. I doubt this game is like the actual reason. It's just another pack of cigarettes or wad of weed. For some.

[magnetaress]

So maybe consider that these people losing their minds over some dragon pixel, really do need your emotional support, wisdom and grace.

I'm not saying to do anything. I'm just trying to suggest that while you are here and lookin inward at the trainwreck from without, consider, whatever it is, that you can be a voice of peace and solace. Some bit of guidance.

[Jarsith]

That was unexpectadly deep.

My guidance would be for people to chill the fuck out and learn to let shit go when they don't get as many mobs as they think they should. Like Littul John said, this is supposed to be a video game. You know, Mega Man and shit like that? It should be a source of fun and relaxation, not rage. Those mobs will be up next week, and the week after that, and so on until the end of time.

Tensions are still a little high when a Guild Leader logs into another guild's bot and fails to train them on 3 separate occasions, then tries to get that guild suspended for the failed training (that he did), then lies to the GMs, then gets suspended but still plays all of his guild's shared accounts during his suspension.

I wasn't here for any of that though. However, it did make me want to come back to p99 after hearing about it. Shit's gettin' real out here!

That sounds like ass, but there's always gonna be bad blood. Someone will always have some past grievence to point to.

Truth; although to be fair.. I think that "past grievance" is technically still banned today until mid January? (I wasn't here, I'd have to try to dig that thread up). This is a fairly fresh wound.

Yeah, just based on what I've seen, every conversation around raid infractions goes like this:

"Oh yeah, what about that thing that you did?"

"Oh YEAH?! What about that thing YOU did?"

And this continues until someone logs out.

Wrong.. on all counts..

It should read: And this continues long after someone logs out

Then restarts as being that someone was rude for leaving mid-conversation which is another grievance to start the cycle mentioned above.

Come on Littul, you know they don't have the power to enforce this.

Hell, the guild leader of a certain guild (that we can't talk about) was banned for a month but has continued to play the entire time! Hell, he even has a bunch of DKP to show for it!

If you think they can't prevent one person from playing tons of accounts, what makes you think they can merge them?

[Littul Jonn]

I’m not talking about preventing people from logging on other’s accounts, I’m talking about wiping ALL accounts except one per person. COTH Bots, idol accounts, trackers, etc weren’t “classic” when we were paying for accounts. Making an account free allows anyone to be banned and still play. Wipe all the bot accounts and see how people play when they only have their characters to play.

[Arvan]

Sorry you were wronged in an imaginary fantasy land. Hope you guys can kiss and make up.

[feniin]

FTE lockouts is just another Mario Kart suggestion. Rotations are the only thing that will solve this shit but everyone is too wrapped up trying to relive the glory days of middle school that they can't imagine sharing pixels and spending a more healthy amount of time engaged on this server.

Conflicting motives.

If they let it slide then its one more part of original EQ gone, who else remembers it enough to seek out an emulated server. If its just healthy well-being and happiness then why seek out any games from the 90s? they were more challenge and less simple entertainment.

Among Us, an IOS game is very popular. AOC plays.

[feniin]

Plenty of servers had rotations in-era between the top guilds. There were just fewer top level raiders than the bloated p99 community.

[Ravager]

Nah, the real solution would be to have looting dragon loot ding you level 1. That has the benefit of keeping the leveling population healthy and keeping the raid scene from being too top heavy.

cool idea but u know ppl would just camp out in vox's room and bring an alt to kill her.

then log on main and loot

[magnetaress]

A lot of classes are underappreciated for not being super gear dependent to preform decentlya t their grp roll, clr with ch, rogues with bstabbies don't neeed ragebringer

etc

just a lot of insanity from 1/3rd the population who hasn't logged off once in 10 yrs, (I don't blame them, its cool i would have stayed logged in at the vox trough too)

[magnetaress]

it's just that it's a privilage to get those pixels and requires immense effort, some ppl dont see that

the peole who put it all together and do the insane insanity werk are the ones in charge, namean?

[magnetaress]

mages are pretty cool even without epics also

[magnetaress]

speaking of which i have a bunch of trash pixels on my green and blue rogues lol i need to hand them out

All this looks pretty wild, intense and weird while being watched from an outsider point of view.

Lockouts won’t work, rotations won’t work, having one account to play will work. Forces accountability, increases the gravity of ban, makes it so that a guild can’t rely on one “play maker” if he behaves poorly.

[Toothed]

How's having one account going to work? There is already a precedent for this type of behavior. I imagine most (some) people have all their characters on one login for ease of access. The other half have their toons all on separate accounts so they can just switch personas 5 seconds after eating a ban hammer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every toxic p.o.s. is gonna have the time on their hands to make extra accounts and vpn it all. In the perfect world we'd play our own characters and their wouldn't be a level 50 within the first two weeks of a server?

Fair point, but if you wiped the slate clean now, it would take quite some time to get back to the level things are at now. Hundreds of accounts with idols, coth bots, MQ items would take years to build back up to. It would give the server staff a smaller pool to monitor IMO. Just my suggestion, since I know it’s unpopular and nobody would consider it since it’s practically how you have to raid now.

Imagine having to actually rely on people in the guild rather than a few who logon all the key classes.

[Littul Jonn]

Bah whatever, hope you guys figure it out. P99 was a great place for a long time. It was a great place to play a game that meant a lot to us and we made some really good friends.

Hope you guys sort your shit out. Anyone out there gets tired of writing thesis papers classic WoW has been fun.

[Tunabros]

And those raids are a......? Instance. BWL, Nax, Molten Core, I'm sure I'm forgetting some but you get the picture. They were able to make content more interesting than "be the first to touch dragon for your people to kill" or "whoever does the most DPS gets the loot" in the open world scenario.

PoTime was one of my favorite raids ever on EQ because of the time restraint, amount of bosses, and different things involved in each fight. OOW will always have my heart though with MPG trials and CoA.

[feniin]

It's almost like rotations could remedy the pixel sickness and immersion.

[Penish]

Where's the obligatory "Didn't read" response from our GMs; god that would give me some lol's. Merry new year or something.

[Penish]

Now that I'm thinking about it, imagine being a GM and actually reading that? Think I'd tuck my work boots away and give the project a letter of resignation lol.

[Nexii]

Now imagine writing it up at a Grade 10 level

[Gravydoo II]

This is amazing. Thank you.

[Molitoth]

Rotations would work too but will never happen.

Large guilds would break up into small guilds, and there would be way too many rotations to go around.

You think Freedom would want to utilize AG anymore? nope.
AG would split off into the Casuals and the Hardcores.
Riot would split into at least 2 guilds.
