Not 2lbs of pressure though. At the temperatures present on game day, the pressure wouldn't have even dropped 1lb. And strange that the honest team didn't have the same problem.

Hmm...

Interesting... You have testing data to back that up?

Cause this guy does, and it doesn't say what you say.

When that error is corrected, the amount of deflation predicted in moving from room temperature to a 50-degree field is roughly doubled. Healy, a graduate student in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, went further: He measured the pressure drop in 12 footballs when they were moved from a room at 75 degrees to one at 50 degrees (the approximate temperature on the field in the Colts game).



In the experiment, the deflation of the footballs was close to the larger, correctly calculated value. When Healy moistened the balls to mimic the effects of the rainy weather that day, the pressure dropped even further, close to the deflation of 2 pounds per square inch that the N.F.L. is believed to have found.
Maths... hard. ;p

(not commenting on the other teams balls... jus saying the hypothesis of the pressure drop CAN be proven up to the 2lbs mark you disagree with. The question of the other team not having the same issue, well that's why it's a controversy isn't it?)

To me it seems pointless to strip a feature out of the game that's just going to cause individuals to have to leave the game on a regular basis to utilize a tool that would have been unnecessary had that feature been left in game.
So true. I harp on about how the developers KNEW long before this server was a reality, that times have changed. Between the knowledge people have amassed over the years, the advent of the internet and the increase in communication options(Voice/VOIP etc) - trying to juxtapose a truly classic EverQuest server, would be impossible.

The 'it's classic' excuse seems to be just that, an excuse - to silence any sort of creativity or constructive criticism.
The problem is that 'classic' became subjective, not objective, which is obvious by the adjustments they did make, sadly none that happen to be anything but a hindrance to the server.

You are welcome to play on a different emulated server then. This is how this one is going to be.

I can't stand people who use logic and facts. It takes away from my board trolling immersion. "Shit aint' classic". Just don't do it.

I just discovered my issue with p99. Ive had multiple people tell me I level too slow. There are literally people keeping track of how far I progressed and let me know about it. Sorry Ive been lvl 25 for weeks because I basically get 1 to 2 hours of play and its sometimes fun to not grind every minute of it.

Another one... which I will take as a compliment... when you giving your group a heads up that you are leaving and people ask why? Umm because there is something called real life? Maybe my daughter woke up? Maybe my girlfriend got tired of me playing for a longer time than usual and wants me to put that same amount of attention to her? Maybe I gotta get some grocerys? Throw johnny in with the fishes? Do you really want to pry into someones personal life?

Maybes thats just my life as a shammy and no one wants heals and sow to go away.
