blue and green have been slow for months now because of the pop server

most of us are moving onto other games like city of heroes, swg and eqlive and daoc

maybe we were back in 2005

but these days, with literally ZERO good MMO games out there, "The Museums" aren't going anywhere

unfortunately though, as players come and go, we will not notice them coming and going, as they don't come and go at the same times, thus populations stay relatively the same

Need to relearn how to rnf.

Dueling with rapiers used to be a thing. Sharp rnf.
Cowboy rnf used to be fastest on the draw, winner winner chicken dinner.

Now ya needa be a bit cleverer. Clearly its a bit beyond us. Nasty arse insults no longer cut it.
It's evolution!

Lol no.

What happened I think is the left now loses basically every sincere argument because they've become so insane and arrogant and they never learn anything and always double down when their bad ideas fail. But they can't be shown to be fools if the discussion can never take place, see. It's just safer this way. I understand the p99 elf forum isn't exactly the appropriate venue for in depth political debates, but this trend is reflected across pretty much the whole internet with few exceptions.

In seriousness, I think the staff just had a totally valid concern about their deal with daybreak and it's a rule that should probably have always been in place, but if you're gonna post such dumb shit I have to reply to it cause this is rnf and everything.

I can't even talk about the truthfulness of our Supreme elected leader in public cuz everyone is afraid of the civil war movie giving some actress lady the PTSD vapors for performing in it. And this isn't even just the p99 forum for sure. My family is psycho too if you even question their perception of reality.

G-d help us all. If we can't even rant in rants and flames. We should be on every street corner questioning our leaders and how they are even in power.

You appear to validate your existence on these forums by purposefully misrepresenting what others say.

What did I actually say? Because so far it is clear that you don’t get it.

My message wasn’t for sycophants such as yourself that lack awareness. That message is for the brass. It’s up to them if they chose to listen. The indication lately has been that they are checked out.

Doesn't seem like they'd have much appetite for someone who is complaining about not being able to insult/mistreat people on the forums.

[Gotrex]

You haven't indicated that you know what the brass is thinking or what they are up to. Neither have they. They have chosen to indicate that there is a hands off approach by their participation on these forums. In other eras it existed in ways it currently does not.

Why you defend new rules that hurt other people you may not have liked in the same digital home that you with share says something about you. Short sighted. Those that point fingers at each other instead of those that craft and create the culture here are missing something.

[reznor_]

rnf used to have a lot more spice, RIP. It was fun to read guild vs. guild or player vs. player fights when there were actual consequences. Now it's just like, 6 autists posting weird trash that no one should care to read (I hit reply after I read the first page of this post, for instance).

And to confirm my suspicion, I just read through the last 7 pages. Not a one of you mentioned the fun RnF that took place back at least, in the days I raided on blue (2018-2020). I enjoyed RnF back then, now it's garbage, and this garbage is represented in the past 7 pages of opinions from the posters here. There are actually some of you who used to RnF with the best of em, too.

[Duik]

"They" are out to get me. Or in this case, not out to get me.
You are creating a problem where there is none. You have a raid problem? Voice it and call someone from that other ugly team out. Call them names and challenge their skills as a player.
You did none of those. Except moan (and not in the good way) so call someone a name and insult the way thwy conduct their life. Moanie McWhiner Pants.

They simply aren’t showing interest. Players noticed. And populations migrated.

There are way less people on the boat now.

Sorry that you're upset that people finally decided to uphold the rules of the forums and penalize people for being rude, insulting, crass, etc.

These forums have been so much more pleasant since then. Thank you staff and hats off for you for becoming more hands on and enforcing the rules here!

[Gotrex]

If the intent was to lower the population of players that enjoy this server then mission accomplished.

I'm not upset. You continue to misrepresent every word that I've said. Instead I pointed out that staff chased away hundreds of players in the last three months.

Perhaps as intended.

This argument doesn't hold up since if you check the emulator population tracker both Blue and Green have stayed mostly steady the last 3 months.

Green on 12/11 (3 months ago): 756
Green yesterday: 852

Blue on 12/11: 457
Blue yesterday: 498

Interesting, the numbers seem actually slightly higher if anything. What happened to those HUNDREDS of players that disappeared in the last 3 months?

The staff just wants to chase away people like yourself who have no decorum and want to use the forums to insult people.

[Iksar_Knight001]

No one finds drama interesting or commercially viable

That is why you will never see it develop between online content creators, or constantly brought up and talked about by other content creators not involved with it.

P99 has lost hundreds of players in the last few months. It hasn't been the most popular server for almost half a year. Staff has not indicated they want to encourage more players to play here. The first post on the P99 home page by a staff member is a indication of not wanting to increase the population. Facts are facts. I dismiss your population numbers unless pulled in a way that is closer to reality. You haven't indicated you have the skill set for that.

I don’t play on Quarm so I wouldn’t know, but I imagine any population change in game is 99% related to Quarm coming out, little to nothing to do with here

I don’t think most players check this forum, only a small %. Even before the bans

[Toxigen]

they just ban people they dont like on discord anyway

[Gotrex]

There is not a single member of staff that is getting paid enough to enforce the current policies. It’s one thing to be part of a group of people who love EQ that is passionately sharing a game you loved from a quarter century ago. It is another thing altogether to be actively attacking and silencing people for opinions and politics you disagree with.

At this point staff, by their lack of posting on p99 forums lately, have indicated they do not want to participate on these boards as posters that are part of the same community as everyone else that posts. Instead they do not use these boards themselves and censor those players that do.

If there isn’t a staff member that hasn’t questioned the last two or three months of unnecessary attacks on p99 forums users then there is not a good mechanism for staff to disagree with their seniors here. It is very possible those that work here are having their voice lent to workplace proclamations without their consent. When something is signed p99 staff instead of by an individual I can tell that voices have been internally squashed. Not a good look.

What’s the solution? Participation. Come and talk with your players. As people. Not as false kings.

All of the whiney complainers who feel that something is owed them by anyone here.
There is no tacit agreement thay by playing and posting here we get to define anything.

The only things we can control is the content and intent of our posts and the rep gained ingame by being a douche or standup fella.

Here is a clue for ya.
Post exactly how you wish to, say what you want. Place any content in there that you like.
Wait a lil bit, if its still available and you are not banned you passed the test.
If not, cry somewhere else. Cuz that's all you can do.

[Gotrex]

You have to remember that this is free, so there is no basis on which to criticize anything. You also can't blame them for creating and enforcing rules at random like a schizophrenic. This is free.

The reason p99 offers free accounts to players is because p99 wants to stay in the good graces of Daybreak legally by remaining non-profit and also because it wants new players to join up to play without a barrier to entry. A product or service being free does not make it beyond constructive criticism. Often times when a product or service is free: you are the product. If you are the product then criticism of a free service is merited.

[Trexller]

"if a service is free, then you are the product" is only true if the platform monetizes the users

Monetization is not required for you to be the product of a free service. If that free service is advertising the popularity of it’s user base as part of the draw for others to use the service then the user base is the product. P99 advertises it’s popularity on it’s front page.

The time you spend here is used as a means to bring others in to this server. Because you are not compensated for your time does not mean that you are not the product. Each user that sticks around contributes to high population here and that in turn is a social proof to new players looking at which server to play on.

The question is whether those in charge of the server are interested in growing the server or instead are interested in managed decline. Evidence points to the latter.

[Duik]

Haha. Hehe. As if I have any say in who reads what and what gets acted upon.

All im seeing here is a bunch of entitled manbabies unable to ween themselves off being able to rant, rave and wax lyrical about things they are afraid of.
Things they are not in control of.
Things they hate because hating is easier than admitting to fear.
Fear is only for the weak.

Things changing around here is like ya mother (finally) charging you to live in the basement.
In this case your mother (hehe) is the mods and the rent is being growed up about what spews from your mouth.

So, pay the rent or find somewhere else to live.

Of course, since i have no say what-so-ever here and I am unafraid to be wrong it could be a conspiracy and we are in fact being monetized somehow.

Hows that? Did I get that right?

Most free games have either in-app purchases or ads to still make money. Therefore these games would care about feedback to not lose their advertisers/ maybe gain more advertisers/ and more players means more in-app purchases and ad views. So they would want more players

But a better comparison for an emulated server would be like Red Cross where it’s all volunteers and donation funded. They would want more volunteers and that’s it. If anything they would want less users because that would mean less resources needed. But they would also listen to feedback because feedback matters more when it’s serious real life stuff. And also to use resources better

P99 doesn’t need to worry about keeping advertisers, and if anything they would want less players, not more. Because they are probably not getting enough extra in donations to handle the hassle of more. So no practical reason to improve. You can get what you get. Or you can get worse. Or you can get nothing at all

[magnetaress]

It's the goal of like red cross or whatever to end world hunger.

P99s stated goal was to be a digital museum of sorts. It's mostly accomplished this.

[magnetaress]

no, not you, I'm talking about the chapos and the goons making a mess of everything they touch.

Horrible idiots, really.

Which am I?


I miss unsunghero. And that crazy princess with the broken arms.

There was literally like only three ppl who where really obnoxious and two of them are still around and cooled their jets since the other two are gone/ incognito.

Ceiling Cat must be a perv that likes it really weird

[magnetaress]

Ceiling cat is a freak.

[Duik]

Was the hole cut first then cat entered or was cat trapped in ceiling (and padding around up there) and owner cut hole for escape?

One scenario is cool.
The other is just lame.

i think it is just photospopped probably no cat abuse needed

[arvidez]

Haha. Hehe. As if I have any say in who reads what and what gets acted upon.

All im seeing here is a bunch of entitled manbabies unable to ween themselves off being able to rant, rave and wax lyrical about things they are afraid of.
Things they are not in control of.
Things they hate because hating is easier than admitting to fear.
Fear is only for the weak.

Things changing around here is like ya mother (finally) charging you to live in the basement.
In this case your mother (hehe) is the mods and the rent is being growed up about what spews from your mouth.

So, pay the rent or find somewhere else to live.

Of course, since i have no say what-so-ever here and I am unafraid to be wrong it could be a conspiracy and we are in fact being monetized somehow.

Hows that? Did I get that right?
Mark out of 10 and spelling/grammar correction always welcome.

they arent charging rent, they went fundamental baptist.

IMO some amateur dude was about to install a ceiling box for like a fan or other fixture

he took his cat into the attic for shits and giggles

cat, being curious found the hole in the ceiling and inspected it.

cat, immediately regrets his innate curiousity, as he witnessed his human furiously jacking it, during a well earned break from home improvement efforts.

cat, has never again taken to his scratching post

cat, ran away from home and years later was found having become the leader of a Cambodian militia tribe, when asked why he decided to become a warlord, cat was quoted as saying only:

I would like to consider myself a moderate.

We need strong borders. A good social safety net. And crackheads should be able to have a good life butt definitely not free to do drugs and live on the street. Property owners should have better jurisdiction and be able to just call the cops up to round up the crackheads.

Caveat tho: we all chip in and make a nice place to put the crackheads. Not open air prisons where they hand out free crack.

Also smoking anything in public should be illegal. Also illegal in residential suburbs. Edibles and pills should be psychiatric. Regulated just like every other medicine. And people should be allowed palliative care with opiods. Even if they are gonna die in 2-3 years. And not in like just a month. And mental illness should be considered as serious as car accidents chopping ppls dicks off. We. Our. Society. Our culture. America. And it's corporations are mentally injuring people at an alarming rate with poisonous toxic bullshit. And that includes ad companies. They should be held accountable and made to pay the price.

That was a really long time ago. And since I have sparingly used that word.

can we still say 'freaked out'. how do you know?

migrants-males 17+ serve in military for 4 years.
pot should be illegal(rejected by polite society). it most definitely shouldn't be available at the corner quickie pickie.
palliative care for pain not fear or finance (i def woulda clubbed my mother. god bless medical clubbing).
we saw the mental crisis coming...phones arent going anywhere. culture isn't handed down through parents as it used to be.

Thank you for being sensible. Glad some people are.

I have an old college friend that sends me texts about Carol Burnett Show episodes. He watches All in the Family and cheers for Archie. He watches the Honeymooners every night.

The Honeymooners only has 39 episodes -- one season.

He's in his mid 50's. Married. One kid, from a previous relationship, a son, currently in prison for attempted murder. And he's retarded himself in many other really strange ways. He does not watch any professional sports because "It's all gay."

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question …
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.

open the borders

mandatory gun safety training & ownership (can choose musket if you "don't like guns, but you must still keep it in good working order). militias encouraged.

use rights vs. exclusionary land ownership

burn all of the money

lay-abouts and hustlers equally respected with minimum and maximum wages & systems of social & professional recognition, but no matter what, everyone eats before anyone gets seconds.

you can think whatever you want, but stop mutilating baby genitals & brainwashing children.

I believe this is somewhat of a generalization, but (un)fortunately, preservation techniques will likely be coming back into the forefront of the national consciousness soon, so she will probably get her pickles.

There was a container ship simulator briefly available on GoG last night.

It wasn't a simulator. It was a remote-control app. Any android-based phone can run it.

This is a roundabout way of saying I'm sorry.

If those things are pickled vegetables, The People can probably hook it up.

Pickling takes time. How far ahead do you plan this and what do you do if someone doesn't finish their pickle ration? Food waste is a real problem!
