This is kind of a ridiculous statement Hobby.

P99 is great, and you guys who have put so much work into have done an amazing job. However, as Rogean pointed out, P99's goal is to recreate a classic experience, where as Sony and their staff really don't care about an authentic classic experience. The goals of the two projects are completely different.

I have had a blast on P99 and hope to continue doing so in the future, but I also think that the Fippy server offers the prospect of some really fun gaming, so I will "flock" to it; however, I think the implication of your post is a bit silly (implication being that we're some how ignorant or foolish as we are aware the server will suck, yet still choose to play there).

I honestly think comparing P99 to Fippy is like comparing apples to oranges - they're both fruit (recreations of Everquest), but while one is a delicious citrus snack (P99), the other a day keeps doctors away (Fippy).

Seems to me that there is just some insecurity on the part of hard-core 99'ers about anyone playing on fippy. the more insecure have already starting saying things like you would have to be an idiot to play there or you are a traitor if you play there, etc.

as noted, the purpose of the projects is totally different. one does not directly compete with the other, except in the sense that if someone logs in on one they aren't logging in on the other at the same time most likely.

the p99 devs have said numerous times in the last year that the players here don't matter to their project, and that they would be doing what they are doing if the population on p99 were only 50 players...so all the hate from the insecure about sony stealing your population is not really a threat, even it were to happen (which it prob won't because, again, the projects are totally different).

I will be playing on both servers. I don't share the popular hatred of the so-called "$OE" and have no problem plunking down $30/month for a couple accounts. If it is "stupid" to spend a dollar a day to have fun and play EQ on live then I guess I'm an idiot.

So much hate.
