Classic everquest didn't have 500 level 60s standing on top of each other on the same server. This server has to make concessions for that. It's funny that you think one guild with 20 sweaties nabbing every spawn and assigning themselves most of the dkp for doinClassic everquest didn't have 500 level 60s standing on top of each other on the same server.

Since when did Jutebox and a handful of other "select" players get to decide what happens to everyone on p99 Blue? What's up with Menden and Galach kowtowing to the mob?

We've had the draft for almost two years now and what has that accomplished? Kittens has been in ToV, outside of a quake, a handful of times at most and only in the past 6-8 weeks? They also have enough ST keys to compete there, yet never do.

TSS - even less than kittens.

All other draft guilds - eashen guards and hot, that's it. I may have seen one attempt at an LTK since the drafts' inception, which Vanquish and Riot chose not to pursue as a target as an incentive.

"we want to learn tactics" - There's over 20 years of information online on each and every encounter, look it up. None of it has changed at all when there is zero competition. Competition is what breeds innovative ways to succeed.

"It's wildly popular" - are you a 12 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert? Of course "FREE SHIT" is "wildly popular"! Who would have thought!?

The bottom line is that all of you don't want to compete, which is where the fun and magic is, and you just want free shit. You're playing the wrong game / server.
EQ wasn't designed to be competitive nor did original GM's want that.. competition is playing on RED cause you can actually hit other players. In before 'blahblahblah PvE competition'. Yeah there's WoW for that or instances on live.

left riot nearly a year go and I was pulling severilous and winning the races yet the 'competition' would RIP the dragon off mid-pull and try to leash it away. They don't get punished then lie about not knowing what they are doing. Took me awhile to figure out the server is mostly just for shit n giggles and tryna succeed doing raid mobs optimally and efficient with FRIENDS even if the encounter goes badly; cause then there's something to laugh about. The "competition" on blue is mostly " How do I gather evidence to prove yer guilty or innocent doing X".. aka lawyer questing.


Shitty raid scene


Also the server is free to play on.. No one is forcing you to raid on quakes. You want to end drafts (I assume) Yet complain and are concerned there's too many quakes which result in burnt out players needing rest. Don't Draft picks then also give time for players to relax? Again.. No one is forcing you to kill these raid targets immediately.

Devalued items...? All items inherently have no value because its a 20 year old elf-game and only less than 2k ppl play it. Some speed running Twitch streamers have more users on a regular basis. I suppose their Emojis in chat is worth way more value than ToV loot.

Go outside LOL

Btw, 340 people in ToV yesterday and it was awesome. Very little friction to be had, communication was healthy, joking and bullshitting in /ooc.

Anyone else notice that the loudest, most disgruntled, and "pissed off at the world" folks here represent about 10% of the population? The rest of server gets along just fine. We all have friends across many guilds and help each other frequently, even while raiding.

There's a false picture being portrayed here and in p99 blue general Discord regarding raiding on p99, they're the same culprits who say "oh the raid scene is so bad, poopsocking, neckbeards, 20+ years elf sim, etc". It's not, it's actually quite fun when we leave you 10% out of the equation.

The two hour back and forth struggle over Vulak alone was worth more than any of your constant reeeing for rotations (draft) and instancing. No one cares about the lvl 47 alt that won an abashi's, no disrespect intended to them.

Everyone remembers the struggle.

"Let’s be clear, the draft has allowed us to be more competitive during earthquakes and thats one of the reasons Vanquish wants it to end. Its never been about competition, its about control. Getting able to participate in a draft allows for people to learn fights and to further progress the server as a whole. I would say Vanquish somewhat fears the draft and what it means."

This first statement of yours is a lie. The draft may have allowed you to be more competitive on Quakes, yet you have chosen not to compete outside of them or the draft after all this time. The increased frequency of Quakes over the past several months has performed the same role as the draft, opening up targets for you to secure without any competition.

We welcome you and everyone else into the fold of Rogean and Nilbog's vision for Project 1999. There is plenty of room here for all and the stock of this game will only rise with more guilds competing, increasing the value of the experience for all as well as providing a healthy and attractive game for many years to come.

Don't destroy this project like Everquest did on Live, embrace it.

Its about competition. The only reason why you don't think so is because you don't have the ability to compete. It would be awesome if there were 3 or 4 guilds at the same level as Vanquish. Sadly there aren't, and guilds seem to prefer welfare over improving their raiding ability.
