Any new players -- look forward to 60.

Everything you wrote needed to be started with "In my opinion".

Guy has a hardcore, raging boner for <Rustle>. Can't seem to let go.

He never got let into my "friendship circle" and thus has blue balls.

Sure, he uses hyperbole to prove his point. I mean how does one come to the magical percentage of 90% being that which is unenjoyable on P99. That doesn't mean that he or anyone else can't level three 60s and find the majority of the end game unejoyable.



Not particularly. Seeing he obviously feels that the journey is fun from 1-59, that makes sense that he would stress for newer players to enjoy the journey because in his opinion, 60 lvl activities are awful.



This is a ridiculous statement. It's like saying "Football isn't dangerous for the players, the players are dangerous to one another!" Yes, technically the game itself is not problematic and it is the players involved, but if there were no players there would be no game. This is just a silly statement in general.



He didn't create this thread to voice his wonderful experiences he has had in the game. He is writing about his disappointment with lvl 60 activities. He also obviously has had a different experience on P99 than you, which is fairly understandable seeing you are two different people with different perspectives, personalities, etc.

Not really sure what you are trying to prove by contradicting his personal experiences with your own.

Dude is salty about lvl 60 activities. I am sure some will relate and some will not to his personal experiences.

The lancelot whose English was less comprehensible was more fun.

High-end is admittedly awful. That's why Rustle exists as an alternative. We take the fun parts of the raid scene and ignore the worst of it. It's a good balance. In the end, you have to make the game fun for yourself. OP just seems burnt and super negative, lashing out at everyone and the server. Time to find something else to play.

I don't know. Personally, it seems like an oxymoron to say "high-end raiding" and "fun parts" all in the same sentence.

That being said, I have to agree with the statement, "you have to make the game fun for yourself." At least, I agree with the sentiment here.

There are some facets of the server and game that you find awful but there are also facets you probably enjoy.

Once you determine what each is, stick to the fun parts and you will feel a lot better when playing.

You run into trouble as soon as you start trying to do stuff you do not enjoy, essentially trying to be something you are not.

If you find raiding miserable, you probably should stay away from it.

If you find tradeskills utterly abysmal, you should probably refrain from crafting.

I think people find themselves in ruts when they have conflicted feelings on this game, for instance one might want the BiS items available, but truly hate raiding. This player may try their best to raid, the entire time being miserable while doing so.

This will only create negative feelings within, and inevitably make this player seem toxic by those around them who find raiding fascinating and fun when this player criticizes what they view as bad about raiding and the scene.

Anyway, I think this guy was just posting out of frustration and disappointment, and it has snowballed into a childish back and forth between the OP and those who seem to feel the need to denigrate him.

Let's be honest here, we're all playing an extremely dated game, find *your* personal level of masochism and ride that shit out.

So, with three 60's now, raid-geared and what not.... the only thing I have learned about everquest is that its unplayable, and unenjoyable in 90% of its aspects.

If you are a new player, take your time leveling to 60. As soon as you get 60, it does not matter what zone you kill in. The game dynamic changes completely, and you will more then often find yourself annoyed.

There will always be:

a) Guild groups who say your camp is theirs, and they will sit on you and ks named while nothing is done about it for days. (not to mention the taunting and crap talk they do in the process). Rustle is a primary example of this.

b) Small mans who take your camp when you are solo killing. (while you are killing a named) saying its their camp, and thus ks the kill by brute force.

c) Top guilds who literally treat one another like third world countries citizens. They will actually try and wipe you're raid, or claim they had rights to a mob you are actively killing and had FTE on, and then pursue lawyer quest because they lost.

d) People who will train you constantly if you get a camp they want, and then proceed to log off before anything happens.

e) I have a lot of respect for the GM's, but they let folks get away with this kind of mentality more than often. If an entire guild group, or small-man is breaking the rules, they should all be punished. Not just 1. I have had them (100% positive) temp ban a player who did this to me, but left the remaining 4, who actually proceeded to stay in my camp and continue killing my mobs. What kind of justice is that?

I am at a loss. The first comment will be "QQ nerdz like get with it"

In reality, I am pretty sure everyone is sick of this play style.

It doesn't happen so much when I am actively WITH a group. It happens when I try and solo, which is something that I do enjoy doing on enchanter. If I have a couple friends there, it isn't generally a problem, but even then maybe I do have bad luck. This happens all the time to me. Any of the cash camps, velks, seb etc.

In you're experience, being the key word. Sure, I have had good times. But when I just wanna do me, and go out and farm or whatever -- its the same every day.

I think either way I am probably done with p1999. I took my time on my 60s, worked hard for all the gear. Some people on these forums would have you believe that its all hearts, stars and horseshoes.... its really not. They are most likely the type of players who are causing these problems and pretending it isn't happening.

I am to the point where I think there are more arrogantly rude players at 60 then those who just want a good experience. Been in three of the top guilds, to be honest, its cringe-worthy watching some of the stuff they do to players and say in teamspeak all over some pixels.

Its mean't to be a game, not an epeen contest to ruin peoples day.

Cecily and players in Rustle are a prime example of detriment currently affecting the server. Tell me, did Mauricio enjoy his temp ban? It must have been difficult for him to go outside... As the sunlight hit his face, he probably squealed and ran back into his closet.. In reality, you guys are a bunch of welfare nerds playing a really old game chasing pixels that are graphically inferior. All the while, being sure to crap on any genuine player you might come across. It's truly the godsend of hilarious what a bunch of try hards you are.

I'll stay just for you. In particular Cecily, the fact that you condone behavior that is emitted from you're guild leaves you zero moral ground. Yet here you are, on a forum defending the same bucket of nerds. It never gets old, really. Whenever I post, I am certain one of you will immediately check the boards 500 times. I must be pretty popular, you know... the one who got away. Keep me in you're diary. Write about me nightly. Tell yourself it will all be okay.

Considering I only have about 9 posts, I am 100% positive you searched for my old ones and decided to come up with at most, an elementary response. I'm honored that you took time out of your (apparently non-existant) life to come chat. From someone who has 3242 posts, you can't really rebute that you have no life. It's well, ... documented.

Thanks friend!

Man Dramaqueen got so butthurt. You want to talk about psychotic behavior... NO YOU WERE NOT WITH YOUR FAMILY! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME! WE ARE A CASUAL GUILD BUT RAIDING IS 100% REQUIRED!

LMAO. She might need a therapist after that debacle.

You guys better get a doctors note from you're mother before you skip a raid.

Oh I said it multiple times. I am glad to be a guild celebrity, though. I can feel the butthurt through the screen with you guys. Its warm and fuzzy.

It was also especially entertaining doing Trak the night before with you fine folks and watching a wipe with 25+ people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The skill portrayed was galant indeed.

this is one angry nerd, did not read a word of his wall of texts but sure looks like Cecily has been embarrassing this kid hard

glad the psychos like this are confined to the blue server where they can live in their natural habitat with other crazies

[Xaanka]

can we get a putt putt goes to the moon emulated server next? no point in teams, red's pop is under 10

[schnickusaurus]

Rofl enjoy red while you can Fan D cuz that server will die first

[Xaanka]

Fan D will go down in history as a box legend on both servers, the #1 player and rogue to grace either box with his presence and charming good looks.

[fan D]

thats the truth
