Rotations =/= handouts

Welcome
Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Kunark expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience.

Recent Events
We are also all here for the same thing, to experience classic Everquest. The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

I was thinking to myself the other day and I came to ask myself.. Are we providing this server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes that it has resorted to taking every absolute measure to be victorious, or are we here to provide a classic Everquest experience for everyone to enjoy?

If you think it's reasonable for adults in their upper 20s to lower 30s to 'compete' for mobs at the expense of real life, you're a loser. If you think that you being such a loser gives you license to deny the rest of the server a large portion of classic game content, you're a piece of shit ruining the server for everyone.

Is there a real life expense? Or is that just what you tell yourself?

I would add, if you are so invested it irks you that your guild can't compete with no-life losers on a 15 year old elf simulator for end game content.....

you know the rest.

As angry as Loraen is at everyone, I can respect and agree with the fact that raiding with less people is a lot more fun. However, I have no idea what your post is for...

[Gwence]

people on these forums use the word competition so much it's lost all it's meaning

newsflash - there is no competition on this server, there never has been any competition on this server. Even before poopsocking was implemented it was simply a very well organized good guild -vs- not so organized and ill prepared guilds. Why do you think poopsocks were introduced at all? The not so well organized guilds had to find a way to give them opportunities at killing bosses. And this template has held true throughout the servers history regardless of which guild is on top.


If anything a rotation is actually more competition based on the traditional definition of the word. It gives everyone an even playing field and the talent will show through or it won't. Not every guild will be capable of killing top end bosses ESPECIALLY in Velious. So you're only competition and really the only competition that's ever existed in EQ from the beginning of the game back in 1999 is the competition within your own guild and your own self to do whatever you can to make you and your guild better.

If it was PVP it would be a different story, but it's not.

I think the point is the myriad of posts suggesting that ANY sort of leeway from TMO would cause the server to spiral into pixel socialism. If you don't share that crazy view then this may not be aimed towards you.

I would like to illuminate that TMO has been very active and receptive in developing a draft of changes to raid policies with FE. I think a large majority of the population is significantly underestimating the extent in which TMO has been willing to compromise with not only Forceful Entry, but with the server as a whole.

Rogean didn't tell TMO that it was FE they had to come to terms with. If TMO/FE aren't including the rest of the server in on these talks, then the rest of the server (majority) shouldn't include TMO/FE in their talks. Let's see who gets their way.

You don't know what you think you know.

Sure, it's always a shitty minority. I didn't mean TMO as a whole. I was drunk when I made that post.
