All I learned from this event is that I should have ignored Swish a long time ago.

You could just watch his video and see he clearly is creating an unnatural fight between two non-KoS NPCs using an exploit on P99. He sends his caster pet in to attack Phinny and he gates while the pet is still casting an offensive spell as he zones out. He zones out and the former pet continues casting the nuke which then lands on Phinny and the two NPCs fight.

This completely avoids the dispel proc that would normally strip a charmed pet in 2 seconds by guaranteeing the two NPCs fight without needing to be charmed. It also creates a scenario where there is no risk to himself because he isn't involved in the battle until he sneaks in to cast a Wildfire at the very end.

NPCs should Insta-cancel casting spells when charm breaks due to the former master zoning (they do this on live), but they don't on P99, and he utilized this broken mechanic to create a battle between two NPCs not on opposing factions.

This behavior was done on live using NPC pets that would DoT another one and it would create a faction war. Many players had their accounts banned from exploiting this "faction warring" to generate massive amounts of exp/loots with almost no effort or risk. The way they did it was similar but it was done on a larger scale between a large number of mobs on different (but not opposing) factions. I believe in his case he accidently created a faction war and it bugged out further and a second tainted/corrupted seahorse healed through a wall or aggroed Phinny in some way that allowed him to finish off Phinny.

It's certainly clever no doubt, but on live it was behavior that would get you banned if you got reported.

No respect for people using puppet string charges on solo artist challenge fights, sorry Dal pal. Jealousy isn't becoming of you.

Meanwhile on live people get a pet class out in The Hole and XP while afk... so the notion of a ban? Nope lol.

I watch P99 on Twitch because I play other MMO's, but I still know which game is the best and which classic server is the best - and that game is Everquest on P99!

Redwjamz is by far one of the best streamers of P99 because he streams high level quality content for hours at a time. I bet the majority of the server plays just as many hours as this dude. If you watch him interact with his guild then you know how much time he spends helping his guild progress.

The bans I speak of were PoP era. Not 2015 Mercenary AFK era.

The things they ban for change over time you know :P.

Swish you have become increasingly annoying since you started visiting redwjamz stream. It's almost like you are turning into him.
