You know what's funny about P99?

[Gugg]

Verant created game mechanics which drastically slowed players down to a crawl with the intent of milking players for as long as possible with a subscription fee.

That's one of the reasons why there were so many nerfs, to protect shareholder profits.

So Verant and the players were in complete opposition; one wanted it fast and the other wanted it slow.

From the player perspective that hasn't changed; 23 years later and players are still trying to speed up the game as fast as possible.

Here's what's funny about P99.

P99 has no subscription fee yet it still has nerfs (like the 50% Mage XP penalty) to slow players down.
