Polygon (https://www.polygon.com/22685125/everquest-classic-hurricane-relief-charity-project-1999) covers hurricane fundraising for a family in need and, and while explaining what p99 is, drops this gem:
One guild, Kingdom, is a smaller guild that focuses on perfect execution. The Seal Team, on the other hand, prefers to overwhelm the boss with a larger group of players.

Nobody is mad. The community came together and met the gofundme goal in 3 days for a family that lost their home.

Don’t have enough players? Have everyone switch to their Cleric so they can enthrall animals and build a NPC army in an attempt to burn the boss down.
This is golden advice! Someone wiki this pls.

If no one is mad why did someone get mad on gofundme about a p99 guild to try and get a house

You must be confusing this with something else. All I have seen has been overwhelming support.

While I'm a proud member of Kingdom I have to say this analysis is far from fair. ST has out-executed us several times before. They are good at what they do, which is why competition is so fierce. Numbers alone don't get FTE's.

Oh yeah, the author of the article clearly doesn't know anything about p99 raiding (or classes for the matter, lol cleric charm). It was just an amusing unintentional burn.
The real story here is that, sans forums, the p99 community is awesome.

Yeah, according to him, there's a zonewide emote and THEN we sit around for hours to sock a mob...a bit off there. But yes, I was happy to donate to this cause and even happier to see so many folks come together to do so. Random strangers on an elf sim uniting for the forces of good!

Nice link Tethler!
So while hundreds of raiders crouch in the valley, waiting for the boss to spawn, most of them are on standby, going about their business. When Evanescence’s “Wake Me Up Inside” starts playing over Discord chat — the agreed-upon start signal for the boss’s sudden spawn — everyone rallies to their character. Meanwhile, the guilds send out runners to try and tag the boss.
I love that a reporter was on-hand to witness this, although for the record we do have other "wake up songs" too.

I used to raid in wow during bfa's EP and I had two friends that chatted with me and told me their life stories.
One got a job as a park ranger and moved to wow classic.
The other one I lost touch with when I wound up in the hospital trying to kill myself. I don't think I ever got to say goodbye...
I should have just toughed it out. I miss those days. Sucks to lose cool peeps online you can actually relate 2.

The part about the ketchup packets is disturbingly funny, considering staff had no context in the moment for the outburst or the hoarding. At least in Cuckoo's Nest the guy had nicotine cravings.

If you don't have $10k sitting in the bank, you need to log out and get to work.

You need to "LOG IN" and run to the bank in North FP to check how much plat you have in the bank!

Dumb advice.
Best advice: Live life when you're young. Just have rich parents and a well connected family.

I assume this is in reference to the family that lost their house?
That family doesn't even play p99. It's an extended family member of a p99 player, yet this community still came together to help them out. So yeah, way to be a dick.
