Hello all,

My name is Woodark and I've been playing P99 since the Green server opened. After taking a 20 year break from EQ, returning to a Norrath full of active and passionate players is probably the most magical thing I'll ever experience.

As many of you know, the Locket of Escape was removed from the game on Tuesday (12/8). The devs forgot to remove the list feature and folks that were on the list (myself included) continued to complete AFK checks for a couple days until being notified that the Locket was removed. I submitted a ticket and this is Menden's response 1 week later:

"I can understand your frustration. And I will say this was oversight by staff, but we will not be handing out lockets to players that were on the list."

When I opened the ticket I explained that I wasn't asking for a locket specifically, but was hoping the GMs would try and make things right. I'm disappointed that the GMs take zero accountability for their mistake and for this reason I am leaving P99.

I would have accepted a sincere apology, but I don't think it would have been too outrageous to give the 3-4 players impacted something. I think back to the 3v3 arena event where the GMs were giving out black sapphires, rubicite armor, and peggy cloaks (just for sitting in the audience)... Or the monthly open raids where people that don't even participate win god/dragon loot... *sigh* ..

Thank you for the adventures! Good bye Norrath! I will sincerely miss you.
The patch notes have been research and publicly posted on p99 for years now. How about some personal responsibility?

Considering that you say in your OP that you would have accepted a "sincere apology" as compensation to "make it right" --- I don't see how this incident is anything but a non-sequitur in your decision to quit playing EQ.

The GMs and Devs have literally poured years of volunteer work and money into this project. Trying to insult them with this post is a joke. Calling Menden out for not apologizing to you? It's a bull poopie move.

Also, folks rage quitting EQ b/c the game screws them over is classic as heck.

Either your not being completely honest (maybe with yourself) or you would have quit soon anyways.
