Why are p99 devs trying to make Green non-classic and ignoring proof?

Your server had it. EVERY server did. Facts. The amount is debatable, but it was always there, and sanctioned by the devs of Everquest. It was 100% allowed.

It's not "acting like a scumbag" either, it's playing the damn game, in a much more interesting way. That's how actual fantasy worlds and competitive games work (or even a casual game of Rummy or something), and it's something that creates compelling stories. Did people in Game of Thrones sit around doing nothing but idling a room? Is that what happened in Lord of the Rings? Or in Sword of Truth? Is that what anyone does in any sport or game? No, absolutely not. Those things would all be boring if that's how they worked.

You're basically advocating that every D&D game should be nothing but the dungeon master putting a couple monsters directly in front of the players for them to easily kill, and then doing it again after they've won without challenge. No story, no actual character involvement required, no real risk, no unpredictability. So dumb.

I know i would not have gotten into EQ if i was a paying subscriber just getting bullied by other paying subscribers.

You can't "get bullied" (or at least, anything that actually constitutes as such, is not allowed). Nothing in the game is entitled to you and the game is not supposed to be about having a personal NPC vending machine that just spawns in front of you, for you to brainlessly hack down.

The game itself is about adventure, moving through a chaotic fantasy world, and fighting for what you want and your survival. You are thrown into Norrath, like Frodo was thrown into the quest of the ring. If a more powerful team comes and takes your camp, so what? Go to another one. Or form a better team, and strive to be able to outplay them. That is the journey. Who cares if you level slower or get items slower. Levels and items have no actual purpose. You're just there to be transported and experience the game world as it comes at you.

Stop talking like you're the definitive authority on classic Everquest. You aren't.

Your ideas suck. In this thread of 10 pages, you had like 1 person agree with you. This server will never adopt what you're asking for.

Sorry you didn't get to be an asshat on p99, too.

If you want to relive your classic experience so badly, I'd be happy to come train you a few dozen times.

Seems like none of you are changing each others' minds.

If I was interested in changing my mind I'd read a book. I'm here to rub someone's face in my fucking opinion.

Does anyone know who OP is in game? I'm guessing some rando casual that belongs to a mom and pop guild. The reason I'm bringing this up is that if my assumption is correct, and what he's proposing is actually implemented, the dude would spend the rest of his days on p99 getting his shit pushed in. Maybe that's what he wants? Either that or he has no concept of reality.

I'm not gonna say I'm surprised by how many EQ players grew up into ancap libertarians but it does make me giggle girlishly.

If you guys were so hard nosed you would just go play red. But instead you want to pretend like you'd function in some anarchic elf world minus pvp. Everything is just going to figure itself out. If you genuinely think it's going to be that simple then you haven't been paying attention to what's been going on the past decade. And what the GMs here have had to deal with and know what they're preventing. Eventually there would be intervention or mass exodus. None of this is going to happen because of one or two assholes throwing a hissy fit.

Nobody owns a camp and EQ was never intended for people to sit in the same spot all day long. If you don't want people to take your camp, then defend it by forming a group that is good enough to defeat the opposition. You are perfectly free to roll up to another camp as well and fight for it.

There is diplomacy too. Maybe people don't feel like fighting and you can agree to take turns.



Yes you would have played, if the game had kept being updated to better service the idea of a living world, instead of continually becoming more watered down.

Different player communities will have different quirks and percentages of people who want to play a certain way. You didn't play early EQ though if you are trying to say it didn't exist. 5 years is not Classic EQ either. The first year of EQ is far different from what came after.

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul

Except that the puppy...was a dog. But the industry my friends...that was a revolution.
