I remember EQ classic and I figured they meant training/KSn. Then I got 60 and realized its no where near that... its 10x worse. And reading the posts about ideas of fixing it, seems like Sirken/Deru foster the environment in a manner that is fitting to the 5%, and not the 95% (of raiders). They encourage this style of 'who has the most neckbeards, and of them who actually has the longest hair?'. After all, it doesn't matter what the variance is. The variance is just the guide to the above ^, how long does xxx neckbeard need to stand at yyy spawn point. I would stop there and just say damn, guess this server is just for the 5%... but then I read a post from Rogean and have hope.

'We are all here for competition, but it needs to be fair competition'.
'Not providing the server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes'

Right now you either join IB/TMO and let a few individuals dedicate their life to getting targets for 99% of their guild. Or you join Class-R and see a raid target once every 2-3 months. Is there really no solution to make the game more enjoyable for the majority of the population? Playing EQ is great, but not like this.
Nobody is forcing you to play here. The exclusivity of raid targets being monopolized by top guilds is absolutely classic.

Do you have a solution in mind that preserves the classic nature of the server and increases the "fun" for everyone?

By the way, the shot you took at the GMs (and you called two out by name) is total bull shit...just sharing my thoughts. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] GMs work (and it is WORK) to make this totally FREE game stay afloat. Anything less than thanks for making p99 real or constructive criticism to make it better is worthless.

Check out the "shit show" that other classic servers offer...p99 is light years ahead of any other place to play classic EQ. Bottom line: if you want to experience classic EQ the best place ANYWHERE to do it is right here...most of us are more than willing to put up with the problems still being worked out if it means getting to play classic style EQ.
