Let's have a serious talk for a moment.

With that said, I've received some pretty fucked up PMs over on reddit about my family. No game is worth this bullshit / my families safety.

I'm out fellas. Its been a fun 6 years on P99, but I'm done.

That's Moregan, Eunomia, Derubael, and Sikorsky gone in the same year.

P99 staff turnover is heavy.

I agree. I think there's a Grand Canyon sized gap between community attitudes on the forums and in-game sometimes... but overall, from what I heard of EQmac, it was a much healthier place to play and more fun.

What would help players be better human beings on P99?

[ ] Scrap RNF?
[ ] Change the raid scene to be more inclusive for new players/new guilds?
[ ] More community events? (with less bitching about community events and lack of guises etc)
[ ] All of the above?

How about let their be RMT, setup a site, and donate the extra cut to server cost/charity. It would cut down on the toxicity of the community, and maybe even the staff. This is like the war on drugs. Braknar in his holy crusade will never win. All you are going to end up with is a bunch of banned pixels. That a gm, may or may not in the future decide to RMT himself.

It would get P99 shut down because of supposed profiteering off a game that isn't owned by them.

I'm off to play some blackjack, look forward to reading the next 10 pages later on. Hopefully it'll be constructive <3

Donate all the money to charity then, I've never thought about RMT'ing on this server, but it will never go away. There always be individuals with more money then time. So my question to staff would be, What do you hope to accomplish with the bans? I don't see the point.

agreed that it will never go away, I would however imagine RMT would be 100 times worse right now if staff never banned people for it.

Daybreak might not like that so much

Makin clams off of Daybreak property. Lets allow P99 to come to a close, quickly. Scram.

Yes.

Yes. Competition is fun, for sure. But it doesn't have to be the only way in the game. Sim-repops/no variance would allow pretty much any raid capable (from a game mechanics standpoint) to get 1 target. And then if they want to compete for the second round of targets, they can.

Sure.

Let's not build it up into something it wasn't. EQMac had plenty of psychotic basement dwellers and straight up creeps just like p99. There was only 1 healthy guild on the entire server. And even that guild was pretty much humorless, although it had some really good people.

There was literally no economy or ability to use money for anything other than buying mounts, because one person with 10+ active accounts bought up every item on the server and jacked the prices up until it was 3k for a Sarnak Hide Mask. Every trade had to be done via barter. This same auctioneer was obsessed with recruiting for one of the only guilds on the server, a tier-2 guild, and would offer you KEI and ports from his 6-box crew and pretend to be interested in your friendship as a "new community member" while role-playing multiple people from his many accounts, until you committed to applying to the sane guild and he never again responded to a single tell from you again on any of his many personalities.

It was a microcosm of what EQ has always been: a few jolly roleplayers and nostalgiacs with some sense of humor, a lot of mega-nerds, and some institutionalizable psychotics with toy maces IRL who couldn't even come up with passable text conversation. People with 100% raid attendance for 6 years running (literally zero raids missed). The average age was just skewed upward compared to here, and instead of people KSing and being dicks up-front people held grudges and deep inferiority complexes about not being in Temerity and took the game way, way too seriously. I think a lot of the people there were older folks living on disability and losing their minds to loneliness and depression. P99 at least has an economy and you can have a laugh with the people who play it without having to reference pop culture from the J. Edgar Hoover era.

None of the above. Just release Discord and let it run its course, then release the recycle rotation blue server and teams PvP server. This will completely eliminate all congestion issues and stop 99.9% of the antisocial behavior because everyone will be too busy having fun to complain about shit.

Rogean and Nilbog also need to get their shit together when it comes to hiring staff. You guys have made some pathetically awful decisions and it's going to keep coming back to haunt you if you don't start getting your hires right.
