Gm's should be appraised of bugs, exploits, hacks and trains.

Training was the tool you used to run the population into the ground and marginalize those classes who couldn't train well.

Maybe everyone doesn't want to play a training class.

My main on live was a non training class, and I rarely got trained on live.

My main on VZ/TZ was only a training class for like 3 months? All the rest of the time it was not, and I rarely got trained.

As far as I can tell, it being allowed didnt result in more or less trains. Maybe your perspective is skewed from playing on a cesspool (Sullon) on live, and another cesspool on the EMU?

[Macken]

Maybe.

On those 2 servers, pixels were srz bznz.

I'm thinking it's gonna be srz on this server too. Just a guess though.

Sullon was awesome, but training will kill the population. It's similar to how the Discord rule set is fun as hell, but it leads to rampant hacking.

The main advantage of having a fresh server is the players. Not many of those players are going to stick around if not even all of the vztz playerbase could have handled the sz ruleset.

I guess its just a matter of the means.

I prefer the server's population police itself. If someone trains you, you train them 3x as long and much. Or CC them until you get bored when you can. Eventually someone's rep will make the server un-playable for them (esp on a lower pop server like R99 will be) if they shit in the sand box too much.

You want someone to QQ and post threads to, an outside authority, that can make decisions for you and be your hand holder. Its understandable.

You are playing in the ymca league bro.

Up here in the big leagues, training is a way of life. You either call a foul for it, or things will get out of hand and the fans will quit buying tickets.

[Envious]

Your still playing the PeeWee league, with parents reffing. Me and the other big boys want to take the game down to Rucker.

We dont play for the fans, we play for the game, son. No blood no foul, blood = blood. Tell your parents to let you out of the bubble.

[Macken]

Fail.

Macken gona enjoy Uthgaard tellen him who wins pvp fights. Clearly never played p99 =)

[Amuk]

I should clear this up, devs of p99 are great and do an insane amount of work for free, but they clearly don't have patience for stupid shit.

I was doing alligators in CT with my buddy and two guys came and said we had to split the camp. We Ks'd their mobs obviously since it was our camp and the monk brought a shitload of mobs trained on us and killed us. We petitioned and got banned for KSing, and for wasting Uthgaards time - pretty random shit and red99 would be no diff.

Least no rules I know what to expect

[Macken]

I will not engage in discussions that denigrate the staff's efforts.
