I don't think the point of p99 is to experience raid content. I believe p99's purpose was to relive a classic EQ experience. Waiting in line for free loot is so far from classic. I also understand that being stuck in Kunark for 4 years is also not classic. Even if the server was locked in Kunark, I don't think people showing up to a raid target, with 0 competition and getting free raid loot is classic whatsoever. It is almost like people have never played MMO's before. There are always people who are on the top and who get all the best loot. They get all the best loot because they put in the most effort. You're way of thinking is like hey that guy over there has a mansion and a mercedes, U.S. Government I don't work nearly as hard as him but can I please have a free house and car if I wait in line? It just boggles my mind.

I think you comparing personal wealth in real life, to the loot in a video game is an absurd concept.

Its a video game, its a toy, we should play it. Not invest your life into it ffs.

The reason the person you are talking about over there has a Mercedes and a mansion is because he doesn't think that spending 12-24hrs waiting for pixels is worth his time. And he is absolutely right, if you disagree you are addicted to EQ and need help.

p99 is about re-creating the classic eq, and it does that very well! But there are things like, personal knowledge that give everyone a massive advantage over classic eq, that will make it never ever be the same as eq was in 1999 - let alone a myriad of other reasons.

Yes - we play this game - there is no reason to compete, there is no reason to not just simply enjoy it and kill raid mobs.

There is nothing cool about someone saying, 'raid on Saturday between 9 am and 11pm! Be there - don't go anywhere, don't plan anything, don't see the outside world! neglect your life, in the name of killing the Maestro of Rancor!'

gimi a break, you should be able to down cazic thule and still have a family that doesn't think you are a neck beard looser primed and ready to spend the later years of his life alone.

p99 exists so we can play eq the way eq used to be. Without all the new shitty art, the crappy zones that suck, the instances, the epic 2.0's

key word though.. PLAY eq.

just play the game, dont treat it like its real life.

End FFA end Mob windows. Make eqp99 a game that isnt a stupid life suck.

If at any moment you find yourself trying to apply the rules of economics and capitalism vs socialism to this game, stop and remember.. its a game.
