I always list with prices, people are either interested and send a tell... or they're not and I can deal with it.

Nobody tries to lowball, and I get the price I want (or near enough)

Surprisingly enough there are many reasons people do many things.

In my experience people will always lowball if you put a price on it. If I would ever put prices on my items, I'd list them about 10% above my desired margin just to get what I want for it.

I constantly sell my BS jewelry @ my desired price point while other people undercut each other into infinity on the exact same items. The tunnel is not as liquid as people seem to think (If I drop my price by 200pp someone will buy right now!!!!).

Rangers never deserved the hate they received. They were a powerful class. The ~40% experience penalty was just a cheap overestimation compensation for their powers. Personally, as a player who played a ranger to 85 and played one when EQ was a baby, I think the experience penalty was a nod to our greatness. It's like THE MAN comes over to you and knocks you down because you're too NINJA. THE MAN has a reputation so you'll just continue on being king in hiding. And that's what I did. I enojoyed every opportunity to cast a snare or root to save someone's butt or to cast some heals and defy the "Ranges can't heal!" popular sentiments. Of course I could have sat back and watched them die, and sometimes I had to to keep the whole "Rangers suck" thing alive. Becuse even on the best days, I knew THE MAN was watching us from behind hte curtain.

IMO, the factors that give EQ the feeling of being a world rather than a game are (in order):

-No maps/GPS
-No third/second person view, but that's kind of out of the window on this server
-No PoK
-No bazaar
-Little soloability

All this shit is in every other MMORPG, P99 is a sacred bastion in my opinion. Play literally ANYTHING else.

Dude, 3rd person and transparent UI were avail in Kunark for sure, don't recall using them pre-Kunark so maybe not original or maybe I just didn't know about them yet, but 3rd person is definitely a classic (i.e. pre-Luclin) EQ mechanic.

I preferred 1st person pov but used to use 3rd person when travelling all the time on live. As an example, a naked L20 warrior on CR could run unsowed from FV to corpse out in LoIO with 3rd-person (via F9) with 100% success. It broke the awesome immersion of 1st person view but avoided a lot of deaths when travelling alone.

Also, Necros had solo'd damned near everything except Naggy/Vox before Kunark came out. Soloability only sucked for warrior, paladin, cleric, and rogue, that's way less than half the classes.

without reading the rest of the thread... the typical badass forum/game troll with a thousand inside jokes and inside digs and insults, that thinks this makes them special somehow. This is pretty much the same as any internet community. Somehow it seems more douchy here though.

2) people who put prices in their auctions thinking it will sell the item quicker (hint: it won't!)
3) people who use the words guy, bro, pal, or friend.

I'm not your friend, guy.

hey bropal, newsflash. it does sell things faster for you. It tells the buyer what you are looking for in terms of price and sets a starting point for negotiating a final price. It also helps people that dont want to look up the going price rate for every item that you are selling.

Douche immature players who, while in the wrong, insist u wronged them and try to tell people not to group with u or threaten to leave if u join the group over personal issues.

Seems less adults play p1999 than live at the same era.

Somewhat related, I keep a mental list. If someone doesn't invite me into a group when they have room, I break my "invite any non-solo class by their second LFG call, regardless" rule.

Immature players refusing to group with u/crying so a group won't take u over personal issues. Especially when that person got called out previously for camp stealing and training yet somehow I'm in the wrong. Seems like more child mentality in p1999 than in live during the same era. Said dude also gets kicked out of his guild for poor conduct and brags that he's joining Asgard now lmao.

Good luck with that when u can't resolve stupid issues for the good of a group. Strong endgame guild material.

Shit sorry repost, other post didn't show up for me until now and gave me errors.
