So me and my friend started playing P99 recently maybe a month or so ago. We used to play as teenagers so its been an awesome trip so far level 19 enc so far and friend is 17 sham. Onto my story of corpse retrieval hell from unrest and dagnors cauldron. So we were having fun in unrest on the wall doing our awesomeness charm tanking (awesome that enchanters are able to actually charm instead of how live was). All the sudden the lag started being really weird mind you its been smooth since we started playing p99 so we figuring just lag spikes. All the sudden shit stops responding and we decide to try zoning out for saftey since a ghoul with a giant sword is no good if I cant recharm! Welllllll we do end up zoning but the server crashes and we were not able to get back right away. Decide to log for the night because not even the forums.wiki were responding so we called it. Next day we log on were dead and naked and no corpse to be found in unrest. Trying to figure out where they disappeared to tried searching unrest says theres no corpse to be found. so like WTF! decide just for the hell of it to check again in dagnors cauldron and low and behold says corpse is out of range blah blah. So after about an hour of trying to figure out where the hell we died i ran into the water straight out from the ent of unrest and look at that corpses at the bottom of the lake. After freaking out about my poor stein of moggok in a lake corrosion and all ! Crude stein no damage done =p.

PS another crappy moment I just bought a bunch of spells from the innothule swamp shaman vendor for him and the ddos crap started happening while I was trading to him, all 5 spells inthe trade window inside upper guk trade gets cancelled for some reason and the spells poof.....60pp gone.

Thanks for my listening to my rant!

P99 Rocks no matter what and I will stay as long as I can, brings back all the old great memories and new ones to be made.

So here I go... My experience of DEATH due to DDos attack or whatever caused the massive lags.
I only have one character active in P99. This is my Dark Elf Enchanter of some 16th levels... Ingame name's Pauillac, named after a famous french red wine. But who cares about the color of my skin if I drink *too much...

Anyhow. i just reached level 16 a few days ago. I must say that grand is my joy and grand the feeling of eventually being able to cast Breeze and other Haste on my fellow Norrathians... Finally, after alot of hard work, I know my presence in groups would be appreciated. *A whole new world awaits me., right?

But... First I got to get the spells. I check my pockets, and think I should be fine. I got 30pp. I need to go get first my latest animation due to my current loc... Wiki says this is being sold in HKK. Great... I currently live in Upper Guk. Does not sound too bad, I'll take the long road. Lag at this time is non existent. My main worry is Kithicor Woods. It's something like 8am when I zone in. Should not be a problem. And then, all of a sudden, somewhere in the middle of the zone, server freakup. I go LInkDead. I rush back into it to discover that I am still alive, full hp, no worries. lag is still there, and no way to display world time. i go LD again. Got back and know for sure night has fall, and undead are all over the place. I go LD near a Risen Caporal. Fantastic. Next I'll log I'm sure I'll be dead. I decide to wait like 20min before login back. Chance is not with me : I am back at my bind point : Innothule Swamp. *Good thing, I must have died close to the wall. I rush back to Kithicor, 10am. I can find my corpse no worries. I rush to Highpass, invis. Zone in HHK, cast illusion human, rush to the first floor and go LD. Got back to see I am just in front of freakin two human guards in my natural DE form, I rush, try to escape, run, run, try to gate, they beat me to death in 2sec. Now my corpse is.... somewhere. I am preparing to CR from Guk, but no idea exactly where my corpse is.*
Not extraordinary, but I fear this is going to be a painful CR.
Ps : 20k is far too much for a lowbie, split it into 4 or 5 for the 4 or 5 best stories!

My story isn't HORRIBLE, but it was pretty funny.

So I started P99 this past week, and I'm in Blackburrow leveling my very first character.

I've just made it brave enough to actually go downstairs, and I'm pulling to that first little room.

I hear "TRAINS A'COMIN'!" so I turn tail and book it upstairs.

Suddenly, DDoS! And what does it do? Not let me open the door!

So I'm stuck there standing in front of the door, waiting for this train to come. It comes, the guy who made it dies, and I just have to stand there and watch, frantically banging on the door as if the gnolls on the other side will open it, until they turn on me and kill me.

It was a shame.

I'm not a lowbie by any means but I thought I'd share my DDoS experience.

Disclaimer: I am aware that ground transferring items is dumb and completely unsafe, ESPECIALLY during server lag. But I have balls of steel, and my story begins..

On Friday July 12, 2013 at 10:00pm CST I attempted an item transfer in Lesser Faydark between two of my characters. During this time I had no idea what the server was in for over the next couple of days. It was right as the attacks that night started, but I had enough confidence that my transfer would go as planned seeing as I logged and relogged numerous times between the spikes. Needless to say, all of my items were lost while trying to relog after dropping.

List of Items I Know For Sure Were Lost
Fingerbone Hoop
Earring of Essence
Enshrouded Veil
Cloak of Flames
Fungus Covered Scale Tunic
Hardened Clay Bracelet
Djarn's Amethyst Ring
Platinum Fire Wedding Ring
Runebranded Girdle
Midnight Mallet
Ring of Shadows
Reaper of the Dead
Bracer of the Hidden
Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring
Fishbone Earring
a random Bronze weapon
1 stack of Water
2 stacks of Rations
Bag of the Tinkerer's
Treasure Hunter's Satchel
