It's the un-classic parts of P99 (entire EMU project actually) in that there is a big unfixed bug and some lazy players choose to roll fail swarm kite strafe bards to "catch up" on this server and basically kill it in the process [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Now at lvl 50, bards ask for handouts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
IMO no idea of what's the point of playing p99 if only going to take the lazy beggars way that completely screws long time vet players (6+ years) of leveling up their alts in the normal fashion that we enjoy ...when not being molested by kite swarm bard players and driven to log out [You must be logged in to view images.

uh heh.

I'm a little confused, swarm kiting is "cheating" or is there a way (I'm not interested fyi) in actually cheating AT swarm kiting. I thought swarm kiting was a thing that was legit, like quad kiting for druids/wizards. I made a bard because I'm new, don't know anybody (at least their names) that play, so I wanted to be able to solo & build up some money to make a cleric worth playing (to at least afford spells, nothing fancy).
