New Rules for Project1999 - Compliance Mandatory
 

Greetings Norrath

I am implementing some new player enforced rules for the server. I will be roaming zone to zone looking for non0compliants and writing letters of complaint to offenders.

Rule 1) No kiting of any kind in a dungeon. Bards, im looking at you. You will not snare, you will not dot, it does not matter your group comp or if this is the only viable way you CC monsters. Eat shit and die. Enchanters will be able to abuse mechanics and monopolize cash camps, this is classic.

Rule 2) Complete heal is now banned from any indoor zone. With all the knowledge we have about Everquest, complete heals in a non-raid setting feels a bit dated. Not only does it make Druids and Shamans feel like lesser healers, it also deprives Clerics from utilizing their full healing kit. If you are caught casting CH in a group setting I will be asking that you delete your character, this is a zero tolerance policy.

Rule 3) Every 14 days you must delete a piece of gear from your character. As a server, there is too much loot and we need to stimulate the EC economy. You can not delete the same item twice unless you have exhausted all other deletable items. The economy of Everquest is a main reason people play and we will be taking steps to make sure the economy stays healthy with buying and selling

This is an incomplete list of new player enforced rules. Please check this thread regularly to see what you are allowed or not allowed to do in game. Comply or face stern warnings.

No dogs allowed.

Wolform is OFFLIMITS!

Found the Bard who wants to whine because he can't commit zone disruption in a dungeon anymore. Get bent.

bards should be AFK in the corner playing mana song like brad intended

if you aren't grouped with them, basically everything a bard can do is annoying to other players on some level.

I just got trained in KC and snare kited the 7-8 mobs. Who is heading up the discipline committee so that I can report myself?

Circus is in town.

Should GMs force guilds to follow their own rules?

I know that's an extreme position these days.

It's called Marbury vs Madison irl.

This is actually my classic experience with bards, lmao. I never heard of swarm kiting until P99. I do remember bards like charm or fear kiting in PoN or something though. Only method I remember for them solo'ing.

Bards were DoT kiting during classic, but not a ton of MOBs. Lag and lack of better camera angles made it unfeasible to reliably swarm kite to the extent that people can now. It for sure would have been nerfed if it was happening during classic, they already nerfed Denon's Desperate Dirge during classic because they thought it was too easy for Bards to quad kite with it LOL.
