P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

Too many addicts, not enough oversite to keep them in line. The state of the server is 100% due to mismanagement by staff/csr.

Plays here for over a decade and tells the volunteer staff that they’re mismanaging things after they spent thousands of hours of their own free time and also money so that he can play a game he’s been addicted to for 23 years

Volunteering and doing a shit job doesn't mean you're above reproach. If you can't do it because you lack the knowledge, the will, or the time then maybe step aside. The server could actually be a great place to play but the serial rule breakers and toxic fuckwits are allowed to thrive and given either zero punishment or slaps on the wrist after years of infractions.

There are roughly 25-50 garbage tier toxic neckbeards that hold raiding on blue hostage. They constantly ignore rules, break rules, harass people... etc. They've been caught on video and voice admitting to not caring about said rules or advocating that their guild ignore/break rules and staff does nothing.

I'll say it again: the shit state of the server is entirely due to mismanagement by the box owners and staff/csr.

I honestly believe you're 100% correct. I just don't think anyone in charge really cares too much about this project anymore. It's been on life support for a while. Communication is nearly non existent and issue on top of issue is completely ignored for very extended periods of time.

That said I'm not really blaming them. If I was running this shitshow I think I would've given up on caring about the day to day drama and nonsense a long time ago as well.

There are only two possibilities for the current sorry state of P99:

1) The powers that be stopped caring, let the volunteers handle things, and just do the bare minimum to keep the lights on out of a sense of obligation or to avoid the inevitable loss of life from the few dozen people with literally no life / hope outside of P99.

2) The powers that be are actively involved in the toxicity, either as secret members of the toxic guilds who are enjoying / encouraging it, or are enjoying a kickback / donation graft to look the other way.

Whatever the reason, I stopped playing long ago and check on the forums every few weeks out of a sense of morbid curiosity and to see if any major changes occur.
