I think everyone acknowledges precieved flaws in the server. Some of us also acknowledge that "healthy criticism" isn't going to result in anything cause the dev's don't give a hoot AND we (the community) have a pretty sweet deal. This is akin to everyone bitching about <insert country you live in> but you don't see anyone going out and founding their own Country, or moving to Botswana.

Nobody would have to criticize you if you weren't so completely wrong about everything you type out.

I've been here about 2 month's now and would just like to thank everyone involved with bringing this server to life and keeping it going. It's great. So, again, thank you!

It isn't that folks don't like/listen to criticism...its that this server breeds people who need to be reminded 8 times a day that this is a free emulator server, not some kind of life defining opportunity or a cathartic experience.

The server is fine...mostly because Rogean and Nilbog take great care of it. Relax and enjoy the game.

When you get that classic EQ itch to punch your monitor it is time to unplug and go outside for a few days.

I'm not suggesting you fall into that camp, but it is why folks react to people who play here getting super serious about the server.

Seems more like it breeds people that think white-knighting it on the forum and trying to live in Nilbog's underwear is going to net them some sort of benefit. Like he's going to show up like Ed McMahon with a giant check and balloons at your house and make you a GM if you flame enough new people.

Maybe it breeds both. Not sure why the hate for Nilbog's underwear though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

lots of good points

I fully support all your points. However, this server has a majority of douchebags in the high end, especially in the raiding scene, and they feed off the frustration of others. Sadly, they also donate enough money to the server (or in more direct ways?) that if they cry enough about some issue, it will be handled the way they want it to be handled.

So for decent players, there's about two options:
1) accept the fact, ignore the retards and play where they aren't
2) do not play on project 1999

For now, I am going with 1) - but especially your very valid points about perma-camping will make me consider 2) if they do never get addressed. It's a pretty weak performance by server GMs to allow people to create a corpse with a high profile drop on it and stay in the camp for another drop.

Also speaks volumes about the character traits of all those people who have no problem with this.

I fully support your requests, but I have a suspicion the GMs / Devs will not consider them before population seriously drops thanks to retards. And then it will probably be too late.

The server not being "Classic" has more to do with the community/players then the devs/Gm's. The only thing the GM's could do (at the moment) is to have more regular simulated patch days, and outlaw training in VP (and any other non-CSR zone, because non-csr did not = training on live.) I think these 2 things would go a long way towards making p99 more classic.

Also, was recharging items allowed in classic? I'd love to get right of recharging if it wasn't classic.

Forth: Raiding.. In classic, there were rotations for raids which were GM enforced. None of this one guild conquer's all nonsense. This happened in classic, and verant quickly ended that. I don't see how GM's on this server do not enforce a rotation, it isn't hard.

Never ever on my live server was their a rotation, and it sure as hell wouldn't have been enforced by GMs.

Not sure what server you played on, but on my server in classic there was about 4-5 high end raid guilds. It started with one guild socking everything, then due to player compliants Verant enforced a rotation. It worked well.... Sure I didn't play on all the servers, but I would assume alot or most of the servers had this same kind of scenerio.

Even if there "wasn't" a rotation, wouldn't putting one in fix all sorts of raid issues P99 faces now?
