Yeah. You know me. I'm in EC 24/7.

Or, I've been playing on this server long enough to remember the time when there were no JBoots MQ's, because they hadn't been programmed in yet. Every MQ in the game had to be coded separately, unless I'm mistaken. Haynar could probably tell you all about it.

I doubt thats the case - when it comes to programming things tend to be very modular - if you have an npc it likely inherited most of its behaviours from a basic npc class that all npcs use and then has additional behaviours specific to its npc type that it shares with all npcs of its type and then if its a special npc has its own special behaviours

you may be right but its more likely mq npcs have shared mq code that reference a table to select the correct item to deliver

Regardless of that just because code was implemented 6 years ago doesnt mean it shouldnt be modified or switched off if player behaviour diviates so much from live that circumstances require it to be

last time someone tried to form up a crew and make lists all the threads got nuked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just curious, what are the rules for posting on the forums? I can understand when someone crosses the line of vulgarity, slurs, posting of RL info, etc. But the "crew" threads did none of that, as far as I saw. This is a private site and the powers that be are free to do whatever they want, I do not begrudge them to nuke at will... but it strikes me as a bit arbitrary and peevish. It is what it is, but it would be appreciated if someone had the cajones to give a brief explanation. Or not, whatever.

All the crew threads just served as a warning sign for anyone new here to know what theyre getting themselves into. In 2009/2010 people came to re-experience classic EQ which camw with a friendly community and difficulty.

Going into 2017 we have a bunch of kids who cant behave either in game or out of it, people hoarding millions of plat and stepping on anyone trying to casually do things themselves on a lmited timeframe, and a petition culture.

Seems like a game designed originally to be fun, friendly and casual is actually harboring a comminity now thats the polar opposite.

Could not agree more. I often run up to people when there at some cash camp. Especially if I was heading there to see if it's open. I have been greeted by "I'm camping <insert mob here> if you KS it I will petition you" more times than I care to remember. And that's all before either one of us has said hello [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are still nice peeps here. In one day some guy gave my newbie ranger a sword of skyfire, some random cleric buffs the crap out of me and a druid kited the ghoul messenger over to me in WK so I could loot the kithi map...

Not everyones a cant. Maybe it just gets distilled at high level where cants stay and good people leave.

Doubt it was the staff that nuked them, Verants policy was always to leave it up to the players to sort out rotations and lists. Plenty of links to Absor posts stating that.

Definitely a case for saying P99 is retaining many of its worst players and losing some good casual new starters with the ethics around here (or lack of them). It's cool though, "I'm not breaking any rules" ... :/

They probably found a better solution, but these are the discussions I remember.

yup looks like you were correct

Rather than fighting multiquesting, fight corpsing... lore should also apply to corpse... problem fixed...
