Best Server Community Sin--Wait, Nevermind

I am going to take a moment to answer your question, and to precursor it I am a member of Vesica Dei so take it for what its worth.

So I guess that's my question, abstract though it may be. Is it really all the same? All the same camp-stealing, kill-stealing, loot-ninjaing, hate-filled animosity from live? Am I going to make it to level 40 just to have someone single-handedly turn 24-hours of hard work into a waste? It's a different perspective for me, I'll confess, since I think it accounts for a lot of why games like Everquest can't be made anymore, but maybe I was more optimistic over a few good experiences than I should have been.

Is it the same, NO it isn't. Nothing is ever the same. But I do suggest you look at what rules have been established here on 99. Rules on camps are pretty straight forward and if you have a problem with them, then I guess your going to be disappointed. Many people will be considerate and do the right thing and honor a camp, but again many will not and will go by the letter of P99 law. I can't tell you how many times I have been at a camp and had it wipe and some knuckle head in your group will shout out that they want a 90% rez even when they have a Cleric in the party. Talk about an invitation to lose your camp.

There are many cool people out there (and yes believe it or not, some of them are Vesica Dei) and you will have great experiences with them like you had with Rilen. Thank you Rilen for showing the best of what P99 has to offer. You will also have some people who will be not so nice, and will be very devious when it comes to playing.

This whole server is like a family and you will have some good and some bad experiences.

The only real advice I have for you is to find good friends to play with and ignore those that would ruin your fun. This is a game after all.

My only disappointment is that you needed to point out the guild of Vesica Dei as being a problem. I will make sure that you concern is brought before the Officers of the guild, however from your post if Rilen really died on his own then I am not sure he would have a reason to complain. Vesica Dei takes its reputation very seriously, if there is an issue it will be addressed
.
Hating on guilds as a whole is one of my pet peeves for the actions of a few members and I preach that to my guild members at all times. There have been guilds that get a bad reputation and some for good reason, but never let that rule your thinking that they will always be that way or that it represents the entire membership.
