Playing with AG back in their days of being a fledgling band of mid-50s doing dungeons and planes on their own terms is definitely among the highlights of my time on the server. It was probably the closest you could get to a "classic" EQ experience on P99 after the Kunark launch. It was a blast to play content without throwing an army of parked Chardok powerleveled 60s at it with players who wanted to simply wanted to play EQ with no other drama. I have friendships from that time that last to this day.

Some of us need to smoke fat EQ crack rocks in the form of (then) poopsocked VP loot. Since then the same crew have become poopsocking Gollums hunched over their desks after hitting the Evercrack pipe faaaar too many times over the past 6, 7, 8 years.

Nemce has consistently been a refreshing example of sanity over the past years on this server and its no coincidence that the "casual scum" (and the non-casuals who aren't completely insane) on this server have voted him Mr. Congeniality aka "Mayor"

The "casual scum" and "welfare pixel" players on this server that CSG represent are no more of a detriment to the server than the "warmbodies" that have come to the server over the past few years.

Powerleveling toons, parking them, and batphoning for scraps (verb: "warmbodying") gives the guild leaders of the "raid" guilds far more time and opportunity to rule lawyer and continue to make playing on this server insufferable. The new players to this server over the past few years, most of whom come from -actual- pixel welfare MMOs like WoW, are very used to this "style" of gameplay and know no different. EQ is not WoW, there are no instances, top tier loot is very limited, and someone else will get the phats before you do, IF you even do. If that's what you want to sign up for that's your prerogative. There are many great players and very serious EQ heads who no longer play here due precisely to this nonsense, and there is no end in sight.

/salute to a great member of the P99 community who was always a wonderful guy and always trying to make this server a better place for everybody.
