Because sitting around p99 clicking on CoH (or whatever the bullshit currently is) is really some sort of competition, right? | |||

Rogue or whoever "facetracks" by staring at the spawn point of whatever the target may be. Said facetracker uses skype/joinme/logmein/whatever to broadcast his screen to various members of his guild to assist with "tracking". They continue staring at this screen for up to 16 hours at a time. Literally looking away for 5 seconds could cost you the mob so you can't stop staring. Then there's the "racers" sitting at a predesignated location (usually at the zoneline) waiting to "race" to the mob once it pops. When pop is called 10-30 A/A racers and 1-2 rando racers from other guilds all run to try to FTE as fast as they can. Typically spamming jump and abusing crown of rile for endless jumping to get that "competitive edge". Once FTE is secured said guild has 1h uncontested to kill the mob. Batphone goes out and 80+ nerds log in their pre-buffed pre-parked characters and slay the mob they've slain over 100 times already so they can have meaningful Velious pixels on a server that's going to be in Velious forever. Very healthy competition to say the least. P99 definitely better than Phinigel right guys? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||

5 years of Kunark didn't destroy this server. 5 years of velious certainly will.

multiple years of Kunark fuckery could always be tolerated because 1) p99 is doing a good job of recreating the classic world, feel, and a fair amount of the mechanics, and 2) Velious is yet to come. Those two combined bought p99 its player base for many years. Now that #2 has happened, the project is complete. But if the devs do not implement a fix (ie, actually gm'ing the server) #1 is not a sufficient draw. But I've always thought, these folks are interested in creating an archive-worthy emu. I think they succeeded decently, even given the built in nerfs of the Titanium client (no endurance effects, no vision penalties, and so on). But now they are done. This is the finished product. The p99 team are an emulator team, not a game design team. I frankly think they have no clue, or natural curiousity, about how to fix the inherent problems with end game classic eq. That was not complicated, I do not think.
