For me the Holiday bonus events ruin the holidays.

[Wakanda]

This is not staff bashing, as I'm sure the events are well intended, and honestly I enjoyed them myself years ago.

Some of my fondest P99 memories were getting drunk on July 4th when P99 Green was still a new server. I was doing the Kobold Royals camp, and went through an entire 24-pack of Budweiser trying to get through level 45, which is considered an extreme hell level during this era of the game. There was no XP or loot bonus, but I had the time off, as did a lot of other players, and it was an epic marathon for all of us.

I find this to be the opposite experience in 2025.

It does not feel like the holiday bonus events bring in new or returning players, but rather, incentivizes the most active players to swap to their alts and monopolize areas of the game they would otherwise be uninterested in.

It's not the end of the world or anything, but from my perspective, I would rather enjoy my July 4th just hanging out in my room drinking beer and playing my favorite game rather than finding myself logging off after swapping to five different characters only to find every single camp in the game over-run with a long line of twinks or PL groups that have zero interest or need to add a random player to their group.

That's just my opinion though. Hopefully everyone else is having fun. I'm still going to get drunk, and hopefully convince a few of my friends to start some new characters on the Classic WoW anniversary server :) no XP or loot bonuses there, but 4 days off should be enough time to get our characters into WC and possibly even SFK if we really gun it !

I'm not sure I get the logic with regard to leveling, but I see your point about farming. Just logged into chardok quick and every single named is taken.

I find there are a lot more pickup groups during bonus though.

Could be a side effect of all of my characters being 52'ish. All the stuff I mostly solo for hours without running into another player suddenly has a long line of twinks standing around trying to get their shot at the camp. I decided to check out City of Mist and KC since I do occasionally get groups there and it's over-run with a bunch of level 60s PL'ing guild groups. It's not serious either way, but I do think the holiday events have the opposite effect of making the holidays enjoyable for regular players.

Are we talking about HK royals? They are camped around the clock even outside of holidays. Same with Felwithe and Paineel guards. Even Grobb is fairly well camped during normal hours.

Your whole post could be summarized by saying:

Fun is subjective. Some people look at you drinking beer like a mad man, like -- sweet enjoy the heart disease and obesity! Some people look at it, like one guy posted -- lets go, challenge time, drink yay.

Lots of folks don't get a lot of time off except around the holidays and love playing games, so the staff doing bonuses etc, is like magic for them.

In conclusion, 4th of July is celebration alot of things, including freedom. Let people do wtf they want, and you do you.

Which freedoms exactly? That we did away with a 2% tax on a single item to be free to get taxed into the dirt with no representation?

[Reiwa]

The intolerable acts were mostly intolerable because they were extractive to a foreign land. British home islands residents paid plenty of tax to their own government, as did the citizens of the individual colonial governments.

5. Window Tax

Description: A tax based on the number of windows in a house.

Details: Introduced in 1696 and in effect during the 18th century, the window tax was a proxy for wealth, as larger homes with more windows paid higher rates. Rates varied, but by the 1760s, households with more windows faced steeper taxes (e.g., 6d to 1s per window for larger homes).

Significance: This tax was unpopular, as it led some homeowners to brick up windows to reduce their tax burden. It disproportionately affected the middle and upper classes but was seen as intrusive.

6. Hearth Tax (until 1689, but not during the Revolution)Description: A tax on the number of hearths (fireplaces) in a household.

Details: While this tax was abolished in England in 1689, it’s worth noting as part of the historical tax landscape. It was replaced by taxes like the window tax, which served a similar purpose.

Significance: By the 1760s, the hearth tax was no longer in effect, but it had shaped earlier tax policy debates.

I had the chance to snipe one of the camps I wanted just now but once I realized the person had just gone to a city to bank I gave them clarity and a rune and wished them well and logged off. I play on Blue because I like to avoid conflict over camps, so I would rather not get into a heated exchange over the PNP regarding a boring camp that people don't normally come to outside of the holidays :) I guess yall could argue I have no right to complain tho.

IDK if fomo is the right word. I also don't necessarily think I'm trying to control other people. I just wish people played EQ because they enjoyed playing it. If what you were saying was true, and this was people who hardly ever play the game, and were logging in during their 4-day weekend I would agree with this sentiment. But these are players in the top guilds wearing BIS everything at level 50, often times accompanied by a large number of level 60s in their guilds.

I do kind of regret making this thread in hindsight, but I get hyperbolic over P99. I also had a meltdown over logging into find my character was over weight from medicine bags before realizing I could just cast Berserker Spirit thing on myself and bank in Cabilis with Iksar illusion.

That being said, it does bring me a small amount of joy to do drive-by buffs of leveling groups in Oasis during this event because I know how exciting it is to be on the receiving end of these. Playing without clarity in general can feel kind of daunting in this game, but particularly at low level.

I'm not an expert on any of this, but wasn't the lack of representation what angered them the most? We kind of relate to this in the state where I live. We live very rurally, and pay the same amount of taxes as people living in cities, but we don't feel like we get the same out of our tax dollars as the people who live closer to the capital. We actually have to pave our own roads with our own money etc.

[WarpathEQ]

I do find it ironic that I tend to get less exp during exp bonuses due to increased competition for mobs. Definitely love and take full advantage of the loot and faction bonus.

One thing I'm curious about is for the exp bonus does every mob give 50% more exp or did they code it like the loot where there is a 50% chance of getting double?

The mobs give 50% more exp

[Ciderpress]

Yeah it's 50% more for every mob kill, because the mobs normally always return a set amount of xp. As opposed to loot, which they are not necessarily guaranteed to drop, so in that case it's only a 50% modifier to what they'd normally drop. I was farming bone chips during bonus loot, and the skels would drop anywhere from 1 to 4 chips, because normally they drop 2 max and each of those 2 has a 50% chance to drop another.

The 100% christmas bonus they did is what people refer to as "double loot" because in that case it literally is double. If a mob drops a guaranteed item they will always drop 2. If a mob normally drops 3 items they will drop 6 etc.. Although I think some mobs are coded to be exempt from loot bonuses?

[cd288]

Not sure if they code mobs or not. Maybe certain quest mobs?

I know that a lot of the raid mobs have double loot during those times.

[WarpathEQ]

Yeah some stuff never drops double like some epic stuff, warlord skargus, ect. They coded out stuff that doesn't take a full raid force but drops high ticket items so people don't get too big of a windfall. No double drusella urns for example (I assumed, never held drusella camp during double loot).

[Wakanda]

bumping this thread, think it's hilarious that the camp ive done for the last 5 nights and never seen another player just go over-run with players

all because of the 150% exp bonus for servers being down

would rather not even have bonus exp / loot in the game at this point.

would make way more sense to just double the spawn rates. youre still getting double experience / double loot / double faction gains, but this would force players to actually group up rather than be anti-social. :p

[Wakanda]

and yes, for the record i was there first, players just showed up and started killing my mobs, but im not about to start a PNP war or waste GMs time with a petition for a game most of us are playing casually, but it's like.... idk, i just see these events as clearly toxic, and mostly exploited by the elites of the server, again, double spawn rate would honestly be a better system

[Faraohjaelm]

Damn high levels killing my mobs for loot when I actually need the xp.

[sammoHung]

i experienced lots of garbage from garbage people on Sunday.

heres some effects from such a crazy bonus like this:

- Newer players get to experience bonus XP, loot and fun. Brought a 6 person group to a classic old-world camp and got 3 people upgrades in about 2 hours time. Because of the vendor trash dropped, they were also able to make some plat as a result.
- Newer players get to push through the hell levels: had two members of the team go from 50% of 45 to 46 in < 2 hours.

Also though:
- Camp fiends, pixel-sick sweatlords and people levelling their 13th alt poopsock exp and group content camps. Self-explanatory
- Newer players get to experience the pixel-sickness
- Newer players get to experience dick behavior from the pixel-sick slags who have been around servers for 5, 10, 15+ years. Got trained twice by the same level 60 player with my level 45 group of casuals, because the level 60 was trying to leapfrog us to our end destination.
- Newer players get a taste of the bonus, while sweatlords and scumbags dominate the high-value camps.

I don't raid anymore, so I didn't experience any of that - but I bet it was glorious.

To be fair, you might have more plat if you hadn't deleted your characters and posted a video of you doing so. All because you went on some staff/server bashing rant and said you were leaving P99 for good.

Yet here you are, back again...pretty sad when people throw fits like that and publicly tell everyone they are leaving (as if anyone cares) and then come crawling back to P99 lol. It's not the guard farmer's fault that you deleted everything from your last run on P99.

I actually heard a Raid Leader once say in comms, regarding a botched FTE and a rant towards the guild members that allowed it to happen,

Raid Leader: "Not acceptable. This is trash. Yada Yada. Some people dedicate 8 hours a day to this job"

Granted, this Raid Leader is a notorious figure on p99 - and despite his E-LEET strats, he is not well-liked by me, or by most casual-leaning players who log in to have some fun, and not be chewed out in comms for 10 minutes after a failed FTE attempt by someone new trying to learn the ropes, or a CH chain breaking down because Cleric #6 decided to pay attention to his small child who needed immediate assistance instead of his GINA triggers in a fucking 17 year old emulated version of a 26 year old video game.

I think the majority of players understand it's just a game - but the vocal minority - the 16 hour a day players who've dedicated almost their entire adult lives to being pros in P99 - are the ones who stick around and continue to propagate the fuckin nonsense we've all had to deal with in this VIDEO GAME.

yeah... i'm out the second some dork starts berating guildies in chat or voice. this isn't the military. granted, i have not done much raiding on p99, most of that was on shards of dalaya when i was a lot younger and could do crap like stay up until 4am for loot. fuwok, meyers or slaar ran most of those and they were chill.

yeah agreed if you have kids you shouldnt even be allowed near a raid. if you arent prepared to sacrifice your relationships and personal well-being for someone else to loot pixels, you should just quit altogther. theres no room on raid rosters for anyone but people who are dedicated to sitting at their PCs ignoring anything outside of Norrath for 8 hours at a time. if you cant answer a batphone at 3am, what good are you, anyway?

wonder how well that would work if implemented. you can only zone into kael if you prove you have no attachments to real life.

again, zero clue what you are talking about. ive never deleted any characters, i dont even play alts, im pretty much a one trick pony.

again im also not complaining about plat. i play eq because i thoroughly enjoy the grind. there's just something annoying about the level 46 in full skyshrine armor (minus the fungus tunic), who somehow already has their epic, and BIS everything hounding me about giving them my camp because they need $$

its like when the walmart kiosk asks me to donate to the poor

like fam how about i donate to your employees

[Wakanda]

im not sure how to quantify velious raid loot in terms of plat since rarely the good stuff is sold, but my alts likely were all 1 million+ plat worth for level 46

i mean without inspecting them i can tell they got an epic mq at level 46 and are wearing a fungus tunic, jbb, have fungus staff etc.

maybe they still need money for torpor, idek. i understand we all need plat, but the way they come at me talking about how they need the camp because $ and its like yeah, im literally going to be level 60 without half of my 50+ spells and im still wearing cloth armor, but thanks for telling me how rough yall life is :eek:

it just feels hella tone-deaf, imagine if a rich person went up to a homeless person complaining about not having enough $

[Wakanda]

[Wakanda]

I can't wait for this to be over so I can play again, lol. I've spent 3 hours from 3 AM to 6 AM on Thanksgiving running from continent to continent trying to find a camp that isn't taken.

I live super rurally, the gyms aren't open on holidays. TBH they are barely open at all, it's one of the main reasons I quit lifting. Gyms here legit open at like 8AM and close at 8PM.

[OriginalContentGuy]

Do you not have any fitness equipment at all? Plates and a barbell are awesome, but you don't need those. Having no equipment to train with at home is like having to go to the store every time you wanted to make food in your house.

Example: a 50# bag of children's play sand is like $5. Buy two that's 100#. Wrap it in thick duct tape and now you have a massive object. Not enough weight? Someone I know sandwiched a 45# plate between two bags of sand and kept adding duct tape and plates and fucking ropes.

My point is that anyone complaining about a lack of equipment with a little ingenuity and resourcefulness on a budget of like no money can make something even the world's strongest man can't pick up.

I'm a huge fan of Ross Enamait and have built all kinds of exercise equipment that he designed after I bought his book "Never Gymless" 15 years ago. I have a dip and pullup bar next to my computer and use a standing desk to play games because I am pretty focused on fitness. But no, this is not the same as weight lifting. Doing pushups in my bedroom is not going to give me the same strength results as heavy lifting - nor is heavy lifting a proper substitute for endurance. When I quit going to the gym I was dead lifting 600+ pounds and bench pressing 400 (1RM). I don't have the space or the type of housing that can store this expensive type of equipment, nor do I have a lifting partner to spot me. At a proper gym that is much less of an issue.

I also strongly advocate jogging (or walking) for general fitness. I don't care how out of shape you are, you can always walk to burn calories/fat.

Where did I complain about a lack of equipment? I have a dip and pullup bar next to my computer and use a standing desk to play games because I am pretty focused on fitness. But no, this is not the same as weight lifting.

Where did I make my point about you specifically? Nonetheless it stands. Enjoy your lifting. Or alternatively don't. 👍

I’m sorry if anyone thought I was responding to them in this thread ! Sometimes I accidentally click the quote button :)

Well, if you run your thread the way you run your body no wonder it's turning to shit. Sorry you don't got training partners or desire to lift heavy under anything less than optimal conditions. Maybe the problem is you.

Hope this helps

Why are we talking to ourselves ITT ;)

Where did I complain about a lack of equipment? I'm a huge fan of Ross Enamait and have built all kinds of exercise equipment that he designed after I bought his book "Never Gymless" 15 years ago.

Ok this confirms it's definitely RecondoJoe (although we knew that before). He said these same exact things on his prior account.

I just like bringing up when those people who post things about how they're leaving and shitting on P99/the staff on their way out have now returned to the server (especially when they try to do it under another name because they don't want people to remember them ranting and storming out).

[Wakanda]

Again, I've never quit P99 or attacked the staff. I admittedly take a lot of breaks. Now that Thanksgiving is over I probably won't log back in until Xmas. That's not me quitting the game or saying it sucks, it's just a really grindy game and I prefer to grind when it's optimal (super hypocritical of me to complain about other people playing during xp events, while also timing my play time around the same events, but Im an incredibly flawed individual).

IDK who yall think I am but I would appreciate seeing the evidence so I can at least defend myself. I've offered to play with all of you numerous times but no one ever takes me up on the offer.

we should RIOT

SAVE P99!!
