Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

I still don't see what could possibly be fun about getting batphoned at 3am to log in and kill a mob for the 1,000th time, when you know every single possible drop is either going to someone's 7th alt or going to be sold in EC for plat. How useful can plat possibly be when you literally have an endless amount of it and control the market on 90% of high end items?

I guess some guild's sole purpose on killing mobs these days is to cockblock what they would consider "lower" guilds from progressing and closing the gear gap pre-Velious. I could be wrong, but from my very limited time on this server, this seems to be the only logical reasoning.

This person only thinks of loot.

Good post, unfortunately you're right about the raiding scene on p99.

There are many flaws which remain a part of the raid scene for whatever reason or another. I for one have tried to bring it to the attention of players and staff many times and the only thing that came of it was harassment from players who are in competing guilds. If you try to point out inconsistencies or flaws in the server and ruffle the wrong feathers in the process you will be shunned. Hopefully a new p99 server comes out 5 years from now and all the assholes who've ruined p99 1.0 die in a fire before it opens.


I'm not ready to give up on p99 but if training/raid interference and other generally shitty antics are still allowed come velious release I will probably end up quitting (I assume many others will as well) everquest for good. Shit like that is not why I came back to re-experience everquest and is not a classic representation of eq at all when it goes unenforced.

The illusion of competition you speak of though, its real competition...just not a fair one as you stated. The top guild tries to legitimize the competition by making it seem as if anyone is even interested in stooping to the level that is required to "compete" with them. The reality though is only the top guild gives a fuck about raiding because the rest of us are sick of being trained/harassed/stalked by them and tired of seeing the rules broken and no repercussions. If the raiding rules on p99 were enforced fairly and there was a legit PNP (by that I mean one that applied to all players and not just a select few like the current PNP) the raiding scene might not be so bad.

What do you expect on a server that allows guilds to train other guilds on purpose and allows people to exploit ip exemptions, though?

OP and Tasslehoff also think that limited targeted attacks on Syria will be good for the U.S.

Pretty darn fun the first time thought [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
