Why do you play on p99?
All the recent drama really seems to be over-looking the obvious....
Why the hell are you all here? Is your life truly THAT pathetic that you have to argue and bicker over a game that has been around for 14 years? I am guessing here, but I assume most of you, like me, played on live so many years ago and returned here for maybe: 1.) A chance to reminisce 2.) A chance to experience what you didn't/couldn't 14 years ago 3.) The fact that this game is the ONLY MMORPG that actually has a community However it is abundantly clear that some of you are simply here to try and prove something because your real life is so insignificant that you feel the need to "dominate" a fantasy world. Do you people realize this is a game? That all of this is created by the devs and can be taken away with a push of a button. All your hours of "work" gone in a blink of an eye.... now what will you do with your life. Its real simple folks... this game is a huge sandbox... you need to learn to share. If you want to be the bully in the box, be prepared to be disliked. I for one would love to raid when I get high enough, but I sure as hell don't need it so bad that I am going to sit for hours/days at a time waiting my chance to "compete" for a spawn in the slight chance of winning fantasy items. There's no challenge..... I would rather wipe with an entire guild of "casuals" attempting a Fear break in then sit around waiting for a spawn that is downed in 20 seconds. So again, what is the purpose of this server. Is it to allow people the opportunity to share in their goals, even in a casual setting, or is it about allowing a small percentage of the population to dominate and block the rest of the server from the experience of the game itself..... I think the devs have made their position clear. Play nice, getting along, help others... and if your life is so sad that you can't do this... well.... I just pity you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

TO DOMINATE.
TO BE BADASS. TO BE MORE BADASS THAN EVERYONE ELSE. TO UTILIZE MY BADASSNESS TO ENSURE PROGRESSIVELY INCREASING LEVELS OF BADASSNESS. TO UTILIZE MY BADASSNESS TO PREVENT PROGRESSION OF OTHER PEOPLES LEVELS OF BADASSNESS TO WIDEN THE GAP OF BADASSNESS.

Bored with all the modern MMOs on the market atm. Looking to relive the old days(grouping) and maybe experience some new stuff (epic/raiding).
Honestly the drama doesn't affect me in the slightest. I doubt I'll ever be able to invest enough time to raid let alone be able to be called and pop into the game as soon as something pops.

And now its time for a Festivus for the Rest Of us, and an airing of grievances if you will. I have remained silent on this topic, and now I'm going wall of text a bit for those who give shits.
My self and Just A Phase's founders are here to take a break from EvE Online. It was only by chance that people followed me here, I started alone.. Two members of my alliance never even played Everquest before and fell in love with p99. That alone says something. I came back to hear the shitty MIDI music in kelethin and the amazing boat song in DC. To smack around some orcs and spread the truth and good word of the iksar master race. Start fresh with a rusty sword & no help, and end up a guild leader with a modest collection of lut after only 4 months. I can honestly say I had fun here, and will continue to do so. All of this drama happening with the "end game" content is the exact kind of bullshit I'm here to avoid. From the moment I began playing here, to this moment now, I always knew I'd never even have a shot at my epic as a shadow knight. Not without paying a hefty price, or cupping the balls of some illustrious guild for the chance at looting something. Yeah... No thanks. I'll keep my rusty sword and pride. We are all here because we enjoy playing oldskool everquest for what it was and is. Its up to us as a collective to determine just what kind of experience were all going to have here. Personally it is my belief there are more good people then bad here. I've never encountered more nice people, or had a better experience on any mmo or server. For what its worth.. My two cents on the matter. I believe a guild that has established it self has the right to raid whatever they CAN raid. If you have a network of batphones, and the people at the ready. Good on you, have at it. The problem seems to simply be the general attitude of these guilds, and their poopsocking mentality. I don't see any reason why there is a need to kill anything just out of spite or to keep another guild from killing shit. If I was a dev here, stepping in and removing the players that foster this mentality would be my first act. Power corrupts. Pure and simple. I've experienced it my self being in the top guild on my EQ2 server. We were all a bunch of douche bags including my self. Even in EvE, my profession as cock-blocker and secretary of offense sees me ruining peoples days just for fun. The solution? Fuck if I know, I'm just here to chase will-o-wisps and smack bongs till I can't find my way out of the EC tunnel. Nothing should be free or handed out. These "B tier" guild as they are labeled, should absolutely not get anything handed to them. If they are unable to presently raid anything due to current competition, its time to step it up or form an alliance. Nobody has the "right" to raid anything. If you can you can, if you can't you can't. Simple. Is that not how the game was originally intended? Ask your selves "tier one guilds", why is raiding so damn important to you? I feel like some ineffable quality has been lost here, the spirit of EverQuest if you will. The fun is in the grind.. Not the end. Why do YOU play here on P99? I may still be a newcomer, But it is my understanding that this server was created to cherish something unique... Something that is not found anywhere else anymore. P99 has become an oasis in a desert of dry content and rehashed concepts. Each person no matter how small shapes the surface of this place. This is not live, nor is this classic. It is Project 1999. So why act like its EQlive? Why not just act like civilized adults, and share your toys in the sandbox? Before I run out of text characters, I would simply like to praise the server staff for their devotion, care & thought they put into this world each and every day. The nostalgia attacks I experienced on day one here paid an unforgettable homage to my childhood memories. While I may not have offered any solutions here, or even any help. I wanted to state my mind publicly. Thank you for listening. Ataxio <Just A Phase>
