p1999 - punishing noobs

[raptorak]

Hi just like to say I think you have done a great job on the server although I have an issue with the removal of the map.

I have pretty much only just started up in p1999 and the map has of course just been removed. Now I have no idea where I am but I get it, that's classic. However, now that the majority of players are already high level, it seems to me they have had it easy, and anyone joining now is kinda screwed in comparison.


Anyway it kinda feels like the only people being affected by many of the classical changes are noobs like me who haven't played in nearly 10 years.

maps are still out there on the nets. just alt tab to check when you are in game.

besides that noobs arent punished at all at the current stage of the server..you get very good armor/weapons for cheap prices (if not for free)

map removal wasnt only for the classic feeling but also to make macroquest usage harder

so to sum it up: inb4 cry some moar!

yes, i used MQ back on live 10 years ago. i'm not scared to admit it, and i have no intentions of using it on p99. all those guys that defend MQ usage by saying it doesn't give you "god mode" are either doing it wrong or trying to make it sound like it's capable of doing less than it actually does.

well, ill put on the table that almost everyone who played this game for a decade (like me) at least tried MQ once and i remember it liveupdating every single mob on ingame maps
so no maps helps in the fight against "the evil"

1) Right click mob or player on map
2) /warp t

Also can be used in the same manner as ShowEQ --- to tell someone's location in zone.
