Just want to say nice work - it's amazing to see peoples reactions in this thread. High end raiders stirred into a frenzy, 30+ year old trolls freaking out. I'd say that means you are onto something, and people are threatened by it.

Not really. OP has poor evidence, masked by a well presented video. But since OP for some reason decided to post this in Rants and Flames, you are going to get more... ranting and flaming than a normal thread. It isn't due to OP having a good argument or good evidence.

Yeah, I feel like so many people have rose tinted glasses when it comes to online gaming in the early 2000s. It was grimy as fucking hell back then. Literally the wild wild west compared to now. I'd say p99's community is A LOT more trustworthy, helpful, and less wicked as Classic EQ.
And don't even get me started with diablo. I witnessed IRL friends pop bodies on purpose to loot their gear, hacking attempts, literally one in every 2 people you came across was trying to steal your gear from you, or would if they got the chance. Drop transfers were a thing because you could barely trust a single soul with xferring your gear on live. Nowadays? i've had random dial a port and kittens members transfer 100k worth of shit for me without even knowing them. Never had A S I N G L E issue with xferring shit on this server. Live? FORGET ABOUT IT LMAO.

This is very true. Online gaming in the early 2000s was a wild west. Every game had hacking, people said whatever they wanted (racial slurs, cursing, death threats, etc.), most sprays in Counter Strike were porn, racism, etc. People just got on and let loose.
The most mild example I could think of was everybody kept telling people Alt + F4 increased your download speeds in Starcraft. You would usually get one person who left the game immediately afterwards lol.
I was scammed a few times on Everquest in the Classic-Velious era as well. The P99 community is leaps and bounds ahead of the average online player back then in terms of trustworthiness and general non-douche-baggery. I would have never done an xfer with a random person on live lol.
