Players are a bit more powerful and the mob con scale (green, light blue, blue, etc) is a bit extended to illustrate it. For example, monsters seem to go light blue/yellow (and stay light blue longer) earlier than they do on P99. A mob can be yellow for 3 levels vs 2.

This causes people to move to new zones earlier than P99 - for instance we were doing Sebilis/HS at 45ish.

I wouldn't say there's a winner but he's going to get to talk shit about it until these boards get taken down

Any classes that can charm consistently are gods. Charm pet DPS is so crazy unfair on that server. We had our group sitting at the west exit in HS with a chanter and necro charming and it was a goddamn blender.

We're going to give Naggy a real shot this week, and we're pretty close to our first epic getting done with a bit of help from friends.

When will you learn Tofu
/sigh
there is no correct response to Swish. Everything you say is wrong. Swish knows best, afterall

I didn't run them off the server, they ran themselves off the server with poor past choices leading to a dead end on the raid scene where "casually hardcore" guilds don't get guaranteed pixels. Because you know, the biggest of the bunch took a shit on the smaller guilds last time out and went for their own pixel grab.

Nobody is falling for that again, and so they've decided to get their wallets out and RMT things on a TLP server...which is basically a middle finger to the staff and players who enjoy P99.

Sorry the ultimatum didn't work out for you, Chest and pals. Good luck on your instanced uncontested Nagafen and other dragons.

Be sure to keep checking in with updates, I enjoy them.

Well, this is true on Project 1999 also. Also, I think at some point late at night Haynar snuck into the code and undid Kanras's charm nerfs. For example, I can pretty consistently charm Seahorses in Siren's Grotto even though they will flat out resist most spells. And charm breaks in the first 2-3 minutes are pretty rare.

Will someone please explain to me why people look at this server as the gold standard for EQ? Why do people feel like you need to "earn" your pixels through hard work aka door face tracking, coth ducking, etc. Why is that "better" than playing Phinny or another emu? Because it's not. Other boxes still offer challenges In their own ways. And it's not like BDA is the only guild that stopped raiding.

Swish · #**639** 05-23-2016, 11:21 AM

You can't box here, that's the main draw if nothing else is.

I think what BDA wanted to accomplish just wasn't available on this server Swish. BDA really is a pretty tight knit community of gamers, and progression just wasn't available on p99. So the options were pretty shitty to choose from. As a guild it makes a lot of sense to preserve what you have. Kind of like WALL-E, when people realize where they live is literally covered in shit so they just say fuck it and fly away to Jupiter so they can get a fresh start.
The p99 story and BDAs involvement is actually very akin to WALL-E
