I knew it was too good to be true!

Hello Project 1999 Community!

I'm Espandrai and I am very new to the server, been playing a couple of weeks now. My wife and I just got set up, druid and a bard. I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has given me such a warm welcome! It seems you have build quite the community here, and this is what I miss.

I'm sad to say I had my first poor experience on this server today. As I am very new with very little platinum to my name, I decided to play a little bit of trading in the EC Tunnel. I am still unaware of many costs etc. and just trying to make a quick buck to equip our characters asap.

I had a run in with this lvl 50, named Ecstacy, that decided to rage on me when I asked him about his Lambent Gauntlets (which i would wear). Clearly I offered too little. He told me to die multiple times, called me a curse word when I tried to explain to him that I didn't know better and he threw me on his ignore list! I don't know about you guys, but to me this is unacceptable behavior. There was no reason for him to treat me this way.

I do want to say Kudos to everyone involved in creating this server as I am having quite a fun time with this phenominal re-creation of original EQ. Thank you to the community for being kind and playing fair. I wish you all the best, see you around!

Unfortunately this had to be moved to R&F as you are calling out the actions of someone, which is what that board is intended for.

You're a curse word and I hope you die multiple times.

[eqdruid76]

Nerdraging hotheads were very much a part of classic EQ, so this is working as intended.

Thanks for the heads-up, though.

He's grumpy because he has all those teeth, but no toothbrush!

[Goobles]

Enjoy your stay. Some folks can be unruly, but others are nice. I'd recommend sending Flicka or Falindorf a tell. They are good folks.

[Espandrai]

lol thanks =)

[Abacabb]

lol thanks =)

Chill with me bro, the path to enlightenment and server awesomness is paved with the many corpses of your enemies!

There is a few asshats on this server, specially level 50s..

Just /tell Douche "welcome to my /ignore list.." works miracles.

[Elendae]

I don't understand this. I've talked to quite a few people now that have been chewed out after making an offer. Like holy shit, it's imaginary coin.

[Asmodean]

don't lowball me son

[Cronoclops]

You probably interrupted his porn surfing on the other screen which can really mess with a 15 year olds head. Don't sweat it man game on.;)

[astarothel]

It's different when people do know the value of something and are just looking to scam people that don't know.

/auction WTS: Quest Item X (used for a specific quest turnin on a item in the thousands).
Asshat tells you: I'll give you 15pp for it
You tell Asshat: AHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[pickled_heretic]

don't lowball me son

I think this expression has a future here.

That's funny. I love when people send me tells like that. Saves me the trouble of worrying about accidentally grouping with them in the future. Anyone who announces their ignores is by default a douche. Just saying.

[Abacabb]

Truth.

Once a level 20ish Ogre put me on ignore and said "Lol ignored fag" I trained him down to level 15 and he was like "Why are you doing this!?" and I'm like "Lol cuz u ignored me"

[Ihealyou]

Once I got ignored for telling someone that Jesus loves them in all caps.

[jilena]

Motherfuckers need to understand the things they say have repercussions!

[Stepy]

All i can say if you don't list a price or ask for offers i WILL offer you a low price and add you to my ignor list if your rude

'WTB a squallsurge shawl, paying 1kpp!'

The difference here is that this isn't a drop but a Sol Ro quest which _requires_ money to be spent just to obtain it. Not that I am condoning the bitch fit it sounds like this dude threw, but when it literally costs 300pp just to DO THE QUEST and someone offers 100pp.. well.. that's kind of retarded.

[jilena]

People is dumb.

[fastboy21]

maybe he was role playing an asshat???
kudos for good character development if thats the case....

seriously...i think the percentage of jerks on P1999 is much lower than in real life. They exist here for sure, but I don't know a single game or rl place you can go to avoid them completely.

one of the reasons why i like eq so much is that the game gives enough control for players to treat each other however they like...you can be a saint or a complete jerk...

if it weren't for the jerks it would make appreciating truly good and helpful folks a much more difficult thing.

[Mleh]

TBH there is nothing more annoying than auctioning and have clueless people offer you retarded offers and than keep talking. EG:

"WTS Maid Issis fang",
X tells you, "Hey is that for a quest?"
You tell X, "Yes, EB Wazakashi sword/Ranger quest"
X tells you, "sec"
X tells you, "thats a nice sword does 100pp sound good?"

it traps you into not only having to explain why somethings worth more, but then you have to explain the entire servers economy to them. EG2:

"WTS Black Chitin Legs"
X tells you, "how much for legs"
You tell X, "1k"
X tells you, "LOL funny 10 hp 10 mana"
You tell X, "1k"
X tells you, "dude ur an idiot i wouldnt pay 200pp for them"

Now, EG3 is the OPs situation.

"WTS FBSS"
X tells you, "500pp?"
You tell X, "LOL IM ECSTACY FUCK YOU AHHAHAHA /IGNORED!"

The moral of the story is, bid your offer and shut up on both ends.

[Stepy]

Hey, i think i offered you 200p for the black chitin legs but you refused so i bought em elsewhere for 150p. =P
