Your want for change sux go away

[Erydan Ouragan]

Project 1999 is a great server as it stands. However, we could implement a few simple tweaks that would improve the general gameplay, such as:

- OOC regen
- Mercs
- Boxing
- PoK stones
- The Bazaar
- Defiant gear
- Instancing

Now, these changes are very minimal and wouldn't affect gameplay that much. The rest is fine.

I dunno. That's pushing it, Erydan. P99 does need defiant gear though.

That might be pushing it, it's true.

Defiant gear is amazing because it allows true casual™ players like me to stop focusing on gear upgrades so much. That way we can concentrate on the fun aspects of gameplay (like killing orcs and frogloks).

Plus, with defiant gear being way better than anything that drops in kunark raids and having them drop from regular random mobs, EVERYONE will have the same gear! That way, no more poopsocking or guild drama, only tons of dead orcs and frogloks.

You can spend 5k on a toon and have enough gear to level to 60. If you want best gear then you have to work for it.

That's such a capitalist mentality.

Why would i need to "work" for it? These are virtual items, they're not finite, like money or physical resources.

You people are weird. You can only find contentment and happiness, not by the fact that you have good gear, but by the fact that other people have worse gear than you.

Your satisfaction in this game revolves around the concept that other people must have less than you in order for you to feel happy, like all capitalists.

Defiant gear is amazing concept because it makes everyone equal. Then it's easier to make friends to go kill skeletons rather than comparing breastplates like teenagers in the shower after football practice.

once you get a toon end gamed & 60 and then you wake up and think, hey I dont even want to play today.. youll realize that getting the gear is far more fun than having the gear.

also, difant gear is for another game, go play that game if you want it so bad.. NOT IN MY COUNTRY

My satisfaction has nothing to do with u being a bum on the street personally I could care less, you make bad decisions = suck at life it's not my problem and I don't spend anytime worrying about who has a Mercedes or who doesn't. Capitalism and the charity it has provided for the impoverished is second to none. No other economic structure has even come close. U capitalist haters need to look in the mirror for your problems and quit blaming those of us that have succeeded. I'm too busy taking care of my family to care if u have enough pot to smoke or if your anime porn loads fast enough

This thread has it all. Foreigners flooding the server with demands for change, and now commies telling us pixel hunt is counter-revolutionary. Isn't someone gonna break the Godwin barrier for us next plz?

edit: Wait a sec. "...rather than comparing breastplates like teenagers in the shower after football practice..." Ummm, is this a thing?

While I find your idea of capitalism flattering, I don't think you have to be a capitalist to believe hard work is necessary to accomplishing goals.

Because working towards a goal is what has driven people to play games for thousands of years. Game: a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

Striving to become more skilled at the game is inherent in the concept of a game. Competition is also inherent in the traditional concept of games, even when it is competition with oneself. It is what has driven people to compete in sports, become good at Poker, study chess, play arcade games, etc. The game sets up a goal and it is for you to overcome obstacles to achievement. It has driven people to play games for thousands of years, long before capitalism allowed people to keep what they earned.

That is like saying Olympic athletes only find contentment and happiness in the fact they are better at the sport than you. It is a distortion of their aim, they want to be the best. It says more about you than it does about them that you choose to view people wanting goals and obstacles to overcome as only being happy when they are better than you.

For the average person, you won't get far as a capitalist if your goal is to make money. The vast majority are focused on creating something that people will want and need. It is you that chooses to focus on a few who measure success by their wealth.

But everyone is not equal, they have different strengths and weaknesses, different goals and objectives, and no amount of giving equal rewards will make them equal.

I have more faith in those who don't get the best gear. I do not believe they are as petty as you seem to think they are. They understand why we don't just make everyone equal by making them max level when they log in. They know that certain bragging rights come with being level 50, just as certain bragging rights come with obtaining difficult to obtain gear. People come to games to have goals laid out for them and barriers to their accomplishment, it is what games have always been about.

Defiant gear I hated that welfare gear so much
