... On another note, even tho p99 has a larger population, its easily the most toxic gaming community in existence.

Possibly the current most toxic, but nothing of the "horror" stories about players with their in and out of game antics and tactics from Eve Online during its greatest heyday...

Actually that is a very fair comparison. The only thing I could equate was that one guy who was getting rich off RMT during luclin I think. Something to the tune of like 45k or something? I havent read about it in forever. I know though that Eve ships can cost thousands of real dollars as well so, maybe its just mmo players that are toxic lol.

The 'thousands of real dollars' thing in Eve was baloney. It may have been worth that to buy if you got all your isk from their version of game cards, but no one did that (and people who flew titans had plenty of old money in game to begin with) and anyways you couldn't *sell* for that so it was essentially worthless.

I don't buy the Eve is just as toxic argument though. Eve was meant from ground up to be a free for all where you're perfectly welcome to try these kinds of moves. It's not toxic if it's a legit part of the game. Some MMA fighter can beat the crap out of someone in the ring, but try that in a basketball game and you will get a different response. Same thing. I never found Eve toxic at all in game, though it had some loathsome people outside of it (Mittani).

The difference is here the endgame people have gotten it into their heads that EQ was supposed to be cutthroat competitive the same way, when it clearly wasn't. EQ had none of the systems required to make that kind of toxic competitiveness actually function. Revealingly, as it became more and more of a problem for CS when guilds simply wouldn't cooperate with each other, they didn't find ways to bring in an implementation - they simply got rid of it, instancing everything. Most of the assumptions by the 'hard core raiders' on this server are simply wrong and deliberately so, as they work tirelessly to maintain the toxic atmosphere they are comfortable in.

Just curious, but was is the difference between P2002 and TAKP? A cursory glance tells me they're both 3-box max servers stopping at POP with raid rotations. Since neither of them have super healthy populations (again, based on a cursory glance) it seems like they should just merge?

TAKP was open source for a while, which allowed P2002 to be created by people not happy on TAKP.

P2002 didn't have a dev on the staff for ages. Think they were forced to switch to the Titanium client.

P2002 is sort of an exile server where an old raging GM from here stays salty in his vegetable shop. Not what I'd call my server of choice.

If you want an alternative, try TAKP... a lot of old Azure Guard play there who are some of the most friendly players I met on P99.

There's also Legacy of Norrath.

Would avoid P2002, something like 60 players online, mostly 3-boxing.

I think the most toxic people are the ones who use the word toxic.

True. Reminds me of people who claim they "HATE DRAMA!!!"
