Where the groups at?

[RicePaddy22]

Coming back to scratch the 'ol EQ itch and make the final push on my rogue to 60 (currently level 59). Seems like Blue is kinda a ghost town for leveling.. IS KC really the only option?? Xp there is kinda mid iirc. Too bad I missed out on the bonus xp for the holiday :mad:

P.S any guilds recruiting?

[Snaggles]

Geonid groups still happen a lot. Fuse, Gravity, and Sanctum are the main raid guilds at this point.

[knottyb0y]

50+

KC pickup groups still exist, though KC fluctuates in population by day and time.
Geo pickup groups are almost always around.
Hole and Seb are kind of a Bring your own group situation, but I've joined a few fun adventures there too.

If you see a Marto (Druid), a Plumbottom (Cleric), or a Neecola (Enchanter, wife's toon) online, that's the wife and I. We almost always pick up folks for groups. We enjoy the social game more than staring at the pixels, we can also jump into Discord Comms (since Nee rarely types when playing enchanter).

Add us to your friends list and send a tell. We usually form a solid duo "pet" comp that can carry most other classes. As a rogue you might be jousting unless others jump in, but you are CERTAINLY welcome to join us regardless!

We run:

Kael Arena: We charm 2 wolves (Enc/Dru), mobs have slow, jousting works.
Geos: Nee will charm a geo, I will run mid-40's necro. This is a FEAR-KITE so a Rogue is exellent here.
Chardok: Nee will run chanter and I will run cleric. We grind from entrance on down. Mobs are slowed, Jousting works well.
Cliff Golems: Nee charms a gargoyle, I pull using Druid Harmony and a tiger pet and kite until slow lands, more jousting for melees.
Siren's Grotto: We run the ledge camp, this is more of a suicide camp, but we get neriad shawls and netted kelp armor.
Eldrig the Old: Super chill "dad" camp. Easy 6 min kills. Fear + Snare + Nukes + DoTs, no pets needed here.


We would be open to running the following with a guide who knows the zone:

Velketor's Labyrinth
Dragon Necropolis
Sebilis

I know jousting sucks, I did it on RED and it was awful, but if you want to BS and learn the noble art, we'd totally watch you struggle!

oh man, i could take you guys on a tour of Seb and Velk - my two favorite zones for higher end grinding

legit the only time ive felt the desire to play p99 in years....ive got raid geared enc / war / monk / shaman all 60, plus bard and necro in the mid 50s

maybe ill shake the dust off and get this pig up and running again - i know my RL buddy would pop on too and he has juiced characters

[Crede]

The groups are on green. There were like 800 people logged in there last night. I did a who all and all the zones were pretty well populated. First time I’ve seen 10+ people in crushbone in years

Yeah but then they'd have to play with Toxigen

Anyone that ever grouped with me would love to do it again!

[shovelquest]

OH shit toxigen is based and cool, id love to play with him.

[cd288]

Yes the guy who has told other P99 players that he hopes their families die is totally based and cool

[shovelquest]

Why do you think my family should die Cd288?

for someone that spits as much shit as you do, you'd think you'd have your stories straight

I was always a steward of good play on p99. I never did anything shady, helped new players when I could, and was a positive / helpful raider with incredibly low RA (even got me a few yellow text FTEs).

One private message on discord like 6 years ago got thrown into the public forum and you dipshits went bananas over it. All I did from there was stoke the fire for the lols.

Man, what a great thread. What a fun time.

it really was a great thread - but we're hijacking this one

also pretty sure i was goaltending ToV before cd288 even knew what a ch chain was...going out on a limb here hes probably a wall-licker from kittens

Idk there is a subset of people on p99 who for whatever reason have a reaction to seeing others having fun on their own terms is to tell those fun loving folks they should kys.

[RicePaddy22]

Hello everybody, thanks for the responses. I love me some friendly banter :D
I have never come across any Toxigen, so he has a clean slate with me. I will keep those guilds in mind if I ever decide to tag up.

@Hannibal, I appreciate the offer! However, I feel like I would be more of a hinderance than helpful in that specific duo. We could prob make the fear kitting Geos work.

I am coming back from a long break to an empty friends list and looking for people to play with. I will definitely add you and keep you in mind for future adventures. I'd be down if we wanted to throw a Seb/Velk's group together, I am familiar with both zones however, I would have to get keyed for Seb. Are you actively playing any other toons?

I have the 59 Rogue, 60 enchanter and a little 39 monk twink I was leveling before my break. Just trying to network and find some friends to play this box with

Recession indicator.

[SanguineEQ]

Blue is in a pretty sad state for finding groups. And the lower level you go, the worse it gets. Gone are the days of pick up groups in Crushbone or Oasis. Even Mistmoore and Unrest are largely abandoned. The population is so low and most people are able to twink so aggressively that they can solo just about any class to 50 or so then finish out in KC. KC also sucks, it's worse xp tha Sebilis or Charasis by far. At least it's so empty now trains aren't a constant threat so much as an occasional annoyance.

During COVID you told people that if their family members got vaccinated you hoped they died from it because it would be what they deserved.

Imagine being a genuinely low IQ person and suddenly you find out vaccine injury compensation pays ~$140m per year. :o

Now imagine the TV says there's a new one and your family can't go to school or be allowed in public unless they take it.

You wrote it on the forums.

In any case, don't need to start going down political rabbit hole as that's not allowed on these forums. Just letting people know the quality of person they'd be engaging with :D

As to whatever asinine self-important comment Reiwa probably made: This message is hidden because Reiwa is on your ignore list. :)

Bro's this is a thread about finding a group. Please contain yourselves to RnF if you need to start mud-slinging about things unaffiliated with this thread.

The wife and I should be pretty active during XMAS week (we have the week off and we avoid deftly avoided both of our families this year).

We recently ran some HS (Cleric + Chanter + Necro) and it was a blast. The Necro was level 54 and got ~9% in an hour, which isn't half bad considering he was paired with 2 level 60 toons!

I look forward to hearing from anyone who wants to run more dungeon content, grind out some exp, or just sit back and watch Eldrig die on a nice slow respawn cycle.

[SanguineEQ]

I've got a 21 SK and 21 wizard I'd love to group on in Unrest or wherever. Also have a 55 enchanter but I'm not very good at playing that class unfortunately.

Oddly enough, the wife and I have 2 baby toons at Unrest. If you see Shamarto (shaman) or Kneenk (monk), send a tell and we'll happily add you to the pile!

As for you being a bad enchanter, you are welcome to join us if we are online. If you don't enjoy charming, we'd happily take a 2nd Haster/Slower/CC in the group. And if you DO enjoy charming you can either grab a pet or be a back-up charmer for awkward pet breaks. Just add the names in my signature to your friends list and give us a shout-out if you see us online. Weeknights tend to be 6PM PST to 9PM PST for us.

People should really camp efreeti more often! Such a great exp camp, great for chanters with imps backstabbing, GEBs aren’t lore and pre bis ring chance. All to the soundtrack of boiling lava. Any other camp is dog shit compared to it!

Agreed. Classic.

I did a TON of freeti on my shaman, monk, and war.

Its hard to get backstab value if you don't have a tank to position, though.

Toxigen also got kicked out of Azure Guard (or maybe Vanq?) for being anti-Semitic toward me. Never did get an apology.

You tried to get me kicked out of Vanquish for typing: ”to understand who rules you, just look to who you’re not allowed to criticise”. Maybe you’re just looking for people to call anti-semite to feel like a victim instead of realizing your own faults while forgiving others, ya know the Jesus/Messiah way!
Merry Christmas btw!

[Jimjam]

While maybe the meek may inherit Earth, and it is considered poor form to punch down, I don't think that means we are ruled by those less fortunate than us. As such, while your quote ”to understand who rules you, just look to who you’re not allowed to criticise” may provide some wisdom, it is unwise to treat it as universal.

[Ekco]

the 4chan meme that wrongly attributes that to Voltaire is actually quoting a neo-nazi

Mr Bernardi believed he was quoting Voltaire when he wrote: "To know who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise."

But the quote, routinely misattributed to Voltaire, originated from US white supremacist Kevin Alfred Strom.

Strom, a holocaust denier who was once convicted of possession of child pornography
Oof

Oof

It was likely a quote before it became a neo nazi quote reddit seems to drape themselves in. It’s a good quote! But yes I did think Voltaire made it and now know it was printed in some early 20th century reactionist paper.
Just saying; Toxigen is likely our lord and savior and was driven out of Blue for our sins.
Blessed be Toxigen.

[Teddie1056]

It wasn't just a misattributed quote. You specifically were using the quote to denigrate me as a Jew. You were saying you didn't like how Jews ran the world and used the quote as some sort of proof.

What faults did Jesus have? Perhaps you're thinking of Santa, or the Easter Bunny.

What a libelous statement! I did no such thing. I wrote the quote in /guild during a discussion about covid vaccines, in regards to the vaccine manufacturers. You simply jumped in and called me an anti-semite because of where you said the quote originated ffrom then called for me to be /gkicked instantly.
You're a rotten egg my friend!
Which is why I came to Toxigen's defense, he might have admitted to being a racist, but he didn't try to get anyone else in trouble, he was simply being honest about his opinions.
You on the other hand seem to revel in some imagined victimhood and to use it as ammunition to hurt other people.
Very shameful.

Anyhow, hope OP is finding his groups for the Christmas Holidays! Just remember, don't type "N" around Toxigen, or use any disparaging qoutes around Teddee and you'll be fine!

[Jimjam]

I didn't realise we weren't allowed to criticise vaccine manufacturers. That is interesting.

[Teddie1056]

Oh wait, you aren't toxigen? Toxigen is the one that got banned for being an antisemite.

I dunno who you are.

[aaezil]

You know its bad when Toxigen the racist is the only person left on blue to dungeonquest with. Godspeed, OP

[Ataxio]

Only? I hate all non-lizards. Wana group?
