I miss the golden age of p99

[Tunabros]

back when unrooted dragons were still around

back when the cool guilds (asgard, taken, etc) were still around

back youtube playthroughs of p99 were actually enjoyable to watch

rip p99. it's gone woke and corrupt

[magnetaress]

you are too young to miss the golden age of p99 lol

[cadoipi]

The golden age of p99 was in . . . 1999.

things started going downhill when they nerfed sneak pulling

I'm just glad I got to play a halfling warrior in the days of 360 full speed sneak, sneak pulling, infinite z axis taunt, battle bandaging and being PLed by lvl 20 epic rogues.

I'm still down for an p99 esque ez server on the titanium client. With some custom quest content (no major gameplay changes).

i miss porting people to raids
(lol)

I would say the golden age of P99 was Dark Ascension VS inglorious Basterds. Trak ledge on blue racing for first to engage on him with 14 players hoping more would log in.
I miss those days. Thats why i dont log in anymore. Bag limits ruined things, rotation on raid mobs ruined things etc. EQ was always a game of hardcore players, now they make sure "others have the opportunity".

IB crushing Transcendence into the dust was the golden age of p99.

Poopsocking is where we come from, and poopsocking is where we will go, at The End.

[Hasbinbad]

"trak ledge" etc was YEARS after the golden age of p99 had already done like 3 revival tours.

The golden age of P99 hasn't even begun.

Not until you play pre-revamp Splitpaw with Zixx Nenix.

It's coming!

welcome to woke99

Give me those tears, boy :p

[mycoolrausch]

the golden age of p99 (blue anyway) was pretty much anytime up until 2019 when the group zones were all filled with pugs of new players from crushbone to unrest to mistmoore to every camp at seb. very lively place

[magnetaress]

2009-2012.

I think everyone thinks the golden age of Project 1999 is whenever they were leveling up their first character to 60 and whenever they got their first epic. After that, everyone starts to eventually get jaded with the game.

The golden age for me was 2012-2014 when we were in endless years of Kunark. When I joined the server, it was BDA vs TMO (pre Forceful Entry and post Inglourious Basterds leaving).

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Endless sigs about how velious was gonna change everything. Vince McMahon going flatliner over NTOV lewts.

[Arvan]

golden age of EQ was kunark launch day on a CRT monitor with dial up internet hope this helps

[Smoofers]

It's a result of nanny state guilds like kittens and TSS who demand a new server rule be made every time someone cohghs.

The state of the raid scene is the fault of the casual guilds and players?

This. Also Velious never really sat with me for some reason, I miss the endless Kunark. 2012-2014 was lit for me as well.

[Lune]

... which is now almost as far away today as those days were from 1999. Fuck

Pulling dragons to zone in was hands down most fun i personally had on P99. UN ruined it all, throw all the cry baby manipulation and lawyering... talking miles around a question and answering nothing... acting like you dont kno about rules... Rip. p99 got soft like the rest of the world.

I missed the golden age of P99. Which is sad because I'm such a fan of classic EQ.

A guy was supposedly rude to me. But presently I think there was a chance he was actually really nice, and I erased my memory to change destiny. Anyway, it was remembered as, him being rude, and I got mad at him.

Then I didn't log on because I was afraid everyone would know me. Which I was afraid would prevent me from enjoying the game. I was also in a group home later, around that time. Me not being able to relax at my own place, I want to say played a role in me stop playing also.

Oh well. Maybe one day Valhalla will come to earth. And when all the Vikings enter the gates to heaven, I'll be waiting with classic EQ pvp on computers. I will tell them, "What did you expect we would fight in real life?"

Because I wasn't there for UN, but this whole institution got started essentially as a way to force top guilds to share pixels, when TMO had monolithic command of raid targets. Guess I thought that was what you were lamenting.

As an old, I get the impression there are going to be some major "unintended consequences" of weed legalization and even mmj.


I'm a professional at this stuff. So yeah, Boomers and Gen X are having a blast, cuz we are already all "weed socialized" for decades, either that or we suck. Weed is like wine in Italy for us, and life is good.


And then I see what younger gens, and especially Z, is doing.



They are blasting their tolerance like the sinking of the Bismark, I tell you that.



All the concentrates (except RSO, which is good for stomach issues imo) are, to me and I think pretty much anyone I grew up with, who has sense, as appealing as eating spoonfuls of instant coffee for "extreme caffeine rush!"


I was weed socialized to think of "big bangs" = crack, etc. Weed is the "smoke it then do something" drug of choice. In my generation, it was as common for young teens to get weed on a Friday night as beer. I was not in the beer only part of the venn diagram, but I was in the overlap. But I veered toward weed only. Pure personality choice. It fit me better.-----


----

So. This is gonna cause so many problems. THC tolerance is real, anyone who smoked knows it.



I grew up on Long Island NY late fuckin 70's. The rich kids were on the other sided of Jamaica. Lots of them fucked up. Car crashes, THE BAD SHIT, etcetera. Chemistry is the great equalizer. I didn't have enough money to be in constant thai stick. So we smoked dirt weed and brown hash during summers back when there was indeed a "dry time of year." And we didn't become coke addicts, mostly.


I'm out of youth culture loop or anything remotely close to it. I don't have an elderly group either. Gen X is kind of a navigation of a new world generation, imo.


tl;dr Are people being idiots with weed these days? It seems a bit creepy. Sure, you can do a big blast. But why? Unless it's morning and it's the first of the day, of course.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Guess what the body does when it's hitting a tolerance plateau it can't reliably hit?


If feels anxiety.



Sigh. Fucking newbs. This is why you have many arrows in your quiver. Alternate between glue and some kind bud. That's my sashay.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

History is an open set of moving Goldilocks points.



And as it moves along, the people who have a Goldilocks seat from time T1 get angry that further Goldilocks at T2 and beyond are 1) self-generative 2) usually based in bad choices and 3) indicative of an an open set of Goldilocks points over time.


Each generation has to come to terms with the fact that they found the soup just right, and the following generation may not. It's the nature of soup. It's fluid.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Sorry, that was the glue talkin'.

Hard to pin down an exact era but somewhere between “no truce with the shadow” and “hands up no loot” feels right. Although summer 2010 was fun too. Iykyk

My fave p99 moment was doing single group PoH break ins on a low 50s warrior wearing little better than raw hide armour on the red server, having to deal with ToV geared 60s occasionally dropping in on us to stop us getting vampire essences / hate armor / etc.

I think that was Thunder Dome?

Lol when I made my rogue it was when epics were wearable at level 1. Put on my epic and a fungi and I never felt more broken

[Tormmac]

all these best moments are from when p99 blue was in perma kunark

and honestly there wasnt a single boring time during the perma kunark era, if we've learned anything from the p99 project its that velious should have never been considered classic

[Naethyn]

Right now is pretty good.

Boy I couldn’t disagree more. The most fun I’ve had on p1999 has been during Velious. The expansion was and still is beautiful.
