Daybreak really needs to set rules on their servers. There is no gms and players just train each other and disrespect, not my idea of fun
This is the exact reason why these servers are awesome.

Having the GM enforcement here that is adamant to be involved and resolute to stop short of a true rotation, is why this server is a clusterfuck.

Why do you want GMs to involve themselves in camp or raid disputes. The game is far more clean if people resolve it themselves rather than going on telling the volunteer hall monitor to solve their dispute for them like a petulant child. Boo hoo some group that has more DPS than yours started to pull from your camp, keep on top of your spawns and that won't happen.

Plus... these raid rules...

I'll take you back to 2014.
VP no rules.
Outside VP No limit of people on spawn camp out wherever (includes right next to ct, which was my fav)
Trains was a no go but it was generally accepted that trak trains was way of the land, just had to not get caught. This was pre fte. Even if you got FTE you couldn't be sure so usually it was yellow txt (xp) group hurrying to do the quest or what not before the rulings came back. That was about the extent of every petition "who's fte" now with the shouts we should just go back to way it was before with minimal GM intervention unless something was super blatant.

Only rule I promote at this point is no re-fte which sirken took care (fuckin a/a rule lawyered that rule into existence prolly dumbest one I've ever heard) and the 1 hour lock which should be extended to two imo, I feel 1 hour for all but a/a/r is almost out of the question but in the end casuals don't really show up to contest so who knows.

Any MMO needs GM's. Its a silly comparison, but just like in RL you need cops.
People that play EQ generally dont resolve issues in that clean kind of manner (a few exceptional players will) they train you they nerd rage, they do anything they can to get what THEY want. This server is by FAR the best version of EQ that we have found. If TLP servers from Daybreak are so awesome why do they keep remaking them? Why do they all bomb after 4 months?

I will admit that the lawyerquest in p99 raid scene is WAY out of control. I could never play lawyerquest cause fuck DLing fraps fuck paying attention to logs, but TBH I dont even play this game enough to worry about the lawyerquest cause i just log in for fun and play with good people and occasionally ill go to some raids with the guild with the most reason (Rustle)

The pulling from other peoples camp is no issue to me. It happens all day everyday in p99 i just go find something else to pull. The games just no fun when there is no mutual respect between players and guilds. Youll never see people work together in Daybreak like you do in P99.

Maybe a happy medium would suffice?

I agree with you, Daldaen about the guides being TOO involved here. This seems to only encourage tattletailing behavior.

On P99 you got people petitioning EVERYTHING.

You got players who petition when a common ground spawned mob is KS'd, and even worse you got people being suspended for KSing common ground spawn mobs.

The raid scene sounds just as ridiculous from the stories being told, and from witnessing just how many entire guilds get suspended from raiding due to supposed infractions.

That being said, you can't really expect the server to run without any sort of guidance though. If the guides were 100% hands off, imagine the shitbaggery that would occur.

I just think it has evolved over time into what we have now.

Both players and guides have lost sight of a happy medium of intervention and common decency towards fellow players on P99.

That being said, if A/A focus more on Agnarr, it should open up more stuff on P99.

Keep dreaming, A/A will be on P99 forever and if it isnt A/A, it'll be another 2 top rival guilds. Thats how competitive servers go.
This is the reason P99 is successful, its not easy mode and not everyone gets the best gear.

None the less! I am an A/A member and will have a character on Agnarr for good times.

The problem is, if we dont have GMs on p1999, people with nice play style will quit the server, and population will drop to 30%. So I really can only give cred to the current p1999 staff and rule set.
