Is a "No Lock-Down" Rule Possible?

What?

Maner do you not comprehend English, or do you not read what others post and just comment to yourself what you want to think others wrote?

Clearly Ikon posted a direct quote from Gordon, and it says...

Quote:

"The Play Nice Policies were created because a growing number of customers were being subordinated by other, more powerful, groups of players. These other groups would claim "ownership" of spawns, loot drops, and even entire zones, refusing to allow other people a chance to experience them. On some servers, guilds had certain areas camped 24x7. "

Gordon wrote that the PnP WAS CREATED ffs dude. Just stop this you sound dumb and I know you are not dumb. Just stop. Please.

Ironically, what "Gordon" wrote nearly 18 years ago describes the climate of the raid scene and big money camps to a "T" on P99.

There is a reason many "casuals" like myself and hundreds others have found other ways to enjoy P99 without touching the raid scene and it has nothing to do with the actual content of P99 and the game itself. It has everything to do with the awful attitude and BS you have to put up with from other players if you decide to raid.

That's right, the players on P99 have ruined the raid scene of an 18 year old game on a emu server because they cannot control their greed for pixels. Let that sink in. It has nothing to do with putting in the "work" for said pixels as you say to justify this mental illness some players possess.

the sad part is sirken/staff here has been siding with the likes of deranged maner//detoxx types for too many years. Dont see that changing any time soon sadly

Your opinion doesn't matter.

That's what matters.

Edit: Also play on TAKP as well as P1999, main reason I made the move - the P1999 PnP makes it just another emulated server, there is no real feeling of original EQ left in it. It has the mechanics of EQ classic, the player base of EvE Online and the rules of Sirken.

Just ignore Ikon. He returns to the forums every so often to spout his nonsense. It borders on being troll-like, but in reality I'm pretty sure he is just dense. His comments are rude, unfounded and insulting to other players and the server staff.

By his own commentary he has moved on to the "real" classic experience over at TAKP. That pretty much sums up his entire opinion in a nutshell.

If trolling = stating a position, posting evidence based on time relevant developer posts as well as posts by GM, guides and over 70 in era player posts all agreeing that there was a broad based enforced rotation policy then guilty as charged.

Even if that doesn't make me a troll I must be one because I don't exclusively play on P1999 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't feel like there has to be a solution that creates an outcome where everyone can get a manastone or a guise.

I'd like to see a solution that somehow enrages and punishes whatever neckbeard tries to collect all the manastones like they are M&Ms, but that's only because I'd find it really entertaining to watch on the rants and flames board.

There is always single player Skyrim or a co-op game. why not try taking to the people that have a camp on lockdown and make new friends on an MMO...so you can get that sweet item that is the prize. Make fwends with neckbeard, make neckbeard laugh.. get your manastone or whatevs. No harm in being a good dude or gal that is liked and thus helped out.

I have got the AC camp twice for my toons that needed the item just by sticking around and being social. People that were on the list are in some other zone not talking to the people that are actively camping it.

Making MMOs ever more anti-social is counter intuitive to me.

Right. But, your evidence is faulty and your analysis of it is wrong. I don't doubt that in your own head you believe you are being logical. Like I said, I don't think you are actually a troll: you're just not bright.

Whoops...I broke my own rule. Ignore back on.
