Monopolizing Scout in WW...

Whether that person has been showing up every 8 hours trying to get their quest done its completely fine to give them a big fuck you and kite the mob around for hafl an hour while your buyer logs on...

Whether someone has all their epic pieces but are lacking that one item you've had permacamped for the last 8 weeks or longer its okay to give them a big digital finger and demand 20k to 500k while you corpse the item over and over because that's a-okay on this server...

Scout is just another symptom of a toxic group of a people intent on screwing up the server for whatever mean spirited reason they can think of.... perhaps because they have 15 level 60's and not much else.

you sure are one salty little kid over the plane of hate crew. How about you step up and compete for the spawns rather than complain on the forums about them?

I'm no kid and I doubt you are either

lol ^

We wont miss u Ikon- find another free game

My suggestion would fix sellers but you just want the world to burn.

I'm happy here and yeah I'd like to see the farmers burn so we can play the game. I certainly would not and I doubt anyone else would miss the farmers tbfh so the feeling is mutual.

Isn't this guy, Schfiftyfiver in <Paradigm Shift> ?

His loot hoarding makes sense considering the leadership and members in that guild and their general vibe.

MultiQuesting is a classic feature of the game and we should all be glad it's in.

If you've ever raided PoSky on this server you know how awful it feels to raid with your ranger friend for a year and the one or two raids they miss out on due to RL drop the Haste Cloak from Isle4. And because they haven't retroactively fixed MQing Sky quests yet, you just had to let that rare piece rot because it can't be MQ'd.

MultiQuesting is no different from a Loot Drop. People farm Orbs of Infinite Void, Fungi Tunics and Hierophant Cloaks for purposes of sale when there are plenty of people who would like to do these camps for their own gear. This isn't any different from someone camping Scout Charissa or Vilefang to sell the MQs.

If you want a server where you can have a shot at anything I encourage you look into Phinigel. You can instance almost all raid content and force spawn different copies of static zones if they get too crowded. But P99 will never be a server where you'll have a shot at every quest and every drop camp. Some will be perma locked down forever.

MultiQuesting is a classic feature of the game but given the classic elements of rotations and the classic play nice policy are not enforced we should all be glad to get rid of it.

If you've ever raided PoF or PoH on this server you know how awful it feels to raid with your friend for a year and the minis or their mob is not up because its on farm. And because they haven't retroactively fixed the PnP yet, you just had to let that epic piece go for another week or 10.

MQíng is completely different from live because any group of characters can monopolize a unique loot drop and sell it to the highest bidder whereas enforced PnP on live meant that couldn't happen . People farm Orbs of Infinite Void, Fungi Tunics and Hierophant Cloaks for purposes of sale when there are plenty of people who would like to do these camps for their own gear and can monopolize and corner the market once again because the classic PnP policy is not enforced. This isn't any different from someone camping Scout Charissa or Vilefang to sell the MQs.

If you want a server where you can have a shot at anything I encourage you look into Phinigel because if your new and want to gear up your going to be sol here. You can instance almost all raid content and force spawn different copies of static zones if they get too crowded. But P99 will never be a server where you'll have a shot at every quest and every drop camp because its not exactly classic and we're exploiting that to the maximum. Some will be perma locked down forever, too bad so sad.

Fixed that for you

Even if PoFear Golems didn't drop any epic pieces they'd be on farm for their other loot. Plenty of the PoHate minis are farmed for their non-epic/quest related drops as well.

People love to hate on MQs... but getting rid of them will change almost nothing other than making the server less classic.

Level requirements on epics and target limits on PBAEs were horrible non-classic changes that should be reverted. If they did anything they should just release a server with an updated timeline so Epic'd twinks aren't common and updated chase distance rules to entire zone AEs aren't as easily pullable or manageable.

But really I'm shocked how many people refuse to switch servers to one that more favors casual non-neckbeardy playstyles. If you don't like how the policies on this server are written or enforced you can easily take your ball and go elsewhere. But I suspect most people don't do this because P99 is free and other forms of entertainment are not.

If we had the classic PnP policies the server would be more classic. You could not farm to this extent on live because of the PnP policies. You were forced to share and if you didn't ban, if your guild didn't check you, disbanded.

People hate on MQ because without the classic enforced sharing MQ are exploitable to an extreme - this is exactly why Verant in this timeline enforced the PnP. Getting rid of MQ would free up almost every MQáble camp including most epic camps. You would not farm it if you could not sell it.

Championing the word "classic" to defend something that creates the most unclassic experience on the server is pure hypocrisy.


I'm shocked how many people refuse to switch servers to one that more favors farming and non-classic mechanics when this server is supposed to be about the classic experience. If you don't like classic ever-quest why would you sign up to a classic everquest server? Why not take your ball and go elsewhere. But I suspect most people don't do this because P99 is free and other forms of entertainment are not.

you quoted a PnP policy before that was rarely actually enforced if enforced at all across all servers. Camps were monopolized on live as well, I remember the same groups of people camping king in seb and BM in velks on live on a daily basis.

You also apparently still dont realize how the PoH minis work. There are place holders for the minis. If you dont clear those place holders then the mini you are after will never spawn. You can go days of clearing place holders and never see a magi for example. You expecting to port up and find the mini you are looking for up and waiting seems like entitlement.

Please post your evidence that "PnP was rarely actually enforced" - I posted mine to the effect that it was enforced.

You're memory is irrelevant - you are one person on one or a few servers with the hindsight of just your own experiences of 16 years ago.
