The passage of time has ruined EQ. Everything today is about finding the minimum amount of effort required for the maximum amount of reward.

Completley unrelated to the topic of the thread, but has anything ever been done to promote the use of non popular zones? I know it wouldn't be very classic, but has it ever been considered to give lesser used zones a weekly EXP bonus to promote more adventure? Could rotate the zones every week so more people start experiencing more of what everquest has to offer.

Oh well, not classic.

hot zones worked well on live in later years, can't see that going in here though...I guess the goblins in Nurga get to carry on mining [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sounds like that Jar Jar Binks equivalent in Star Trek Voyager.

I belong to no elf sim club, friend. Just a band of adventurers who are now mostly gone from the server. Our initial aim over 3 years ago was to be an alternative to high level play on this server and have absolutely nothing to do with this nonsense. With the implementation of the class system in 2014 a bunch of pixel hungry weirdos started appearing out of the woodwork and weaseled their in way socially to get their shot at the Class R loot piñata.

It was subsequently run into the ground by these absolute imbeciles who "took over" only because they were the most vocal and came in and ran the guild like a junta. They recruited absolute scrubs in their low 50s just to bolster numbers to run Velious raids betabuffed. Meanwhile, on the actual server, the low 50s players had shit attitudes, weren't good at the game, never even moved their XP bars, and and wiped every single raid multiple times, every single time. All the while, they were getting gear by riding the coattails of the outstanding core that essentially made every kill possible and remain highly respected players to this day.

When confronted, the junta acted like absolute crybabies and after enough time they decided to pick up their ball and go home. We didn't even have a vent channel and many of our comrades don't use voice chat to this day. Most of the members never participated on the P99 boards and we had no guild boards. It took me a while to even start contributing to the boards. We had no DKP, just gentlemen's agreements and dice. All gear was farmed or bought. No poopsocking. No vent channel. No nubbery. And everyone was geared to the teeth and having fun.

I would rather not know the people I now know but I cannot unsee what I have seen. Most people who play here now are so new that they know nothing different than the shitshow that being in a guild on this server has become. My experience in the "raid" scene was absolutely fucking awful and made me very bitter and angry.

I am a far cry from a pathetic social reject, friend, as are my comrades. In fact, I am well adjusted, have a rich life outside of this stupid ass box, and I am highly educated. Also, I have been nothing but nice. I have always been helpful and friendly to nubs all over the server and have gone out of my way to help people with various epic quests, etc. For years. My problem is I was never going to fellate anybody, and apparently that's that P99 "x" factor you need to weasel your way around and gain favor with the hegemony, then eventually get NToV drops.

I wanted nothing to do with this shit. The problem is the pissing contest on this server has gotten so out of hand it cannot be avoided. The real pathetic social rejects are those who aspire to become a cult of personality on a 16 year old elf sim. There's many of them around here, in fact there's too many. I just want to play EQ when I come home from work with people that don't fucking suck. Apparently that's too much to ask.

I will continue to flame and I will continue to not give a fuck. A few people really pissed me off. I have "made my case" to all of them personally. I'm still pissed and I will continue to be pissed.

I have nothing to lose. I have been freed from the shackles of pixel lust. The entire server is sick of this shit and nobody wants to speak up about it. Anybody who does want to speak up about it doesn't want to because there's some pixel they want and the faucet will quickly get turned off. I've been there before and its like taking big bites out of a shit sandwich and saying "mmmm, that's good."

Sirken should do a podcast and invite every "leader" of every "raid" guild for a nice little roundtable chat. Some actual discussion about what actually goes on on this box. The biggest fucking nerd summit MMO emus have ever seen. There's an idea. That'll drum up some more people to play this box. We all saw what happened last time a little bit of truth leaked out on the stream. Tell them exactly what it takes to see dragons and get gear on this server.

Enough of this bullshit, we're all sick of it.

Should check out the phinny server on live. Been policed pretty well and have seen little to no arguements. Both people from pp99 and prior progression servers. As much as "not classic" as it is, its a huge breath of fresh air from the rampant sociopathy the p99 servers have been suffering from as of late.

I can't even get help doing something as simple as streaming a goofy event like bumfights because of high end raiding, since the DoF's streamer is in Rampage and therefore unavailable for over half the week. Any events I do will probably be confined to the early part of the week. Everything in this damn game is dictated by raiding. And you know what? Raids are really fucking boring to do every day. If you're not the puller, you don't even get to see most of a zone. People only do them for good loot. You could do a ton of other interesting things with your time in this game.

what is DoF's and i thought it was Green grocer that did bumfights?

and while i am asking questions unrelated to the topic,

Why is Taken teaming up with Rampage, and what happened to the Divinity/Rampage love affair?

Rampage needs FAT to be dead, too many things they felt entitled to were being lost, as part of the FAT alliance and FA alliance northwing loot. They bribed them with a better loot package, 2nd pick on all northwing loot except for vulak, (1 of 2 people) to pick on former FAT targets, and available sleeper tomb keys.

Not sure if Divinity is part of the mix or they got kicked to the curb, but judging by the tunare run I think they did.

Soon as FA alliance is dead they will kick taken to the curb and own all endgame stuff.

[Pokesan]

FAD alliance? Not nearly as appealing a term as FAT

[Troubled]

Goo thread. Keep it here so Rampage members aren't afraid to lose their guild tag for replying.

[Mead]

Do you honestly think Taken wanted to raid with Forsaken? I can feel the sighs of relief. Someone send Dottedup an 8ball he's about to put in lots of overtime.
