What's up with P99's staff concerning patch notes/information since Green launched?

[Waedawen]

not knowing is way more fun

the fucking nerds on this server have proven time and time and time again that they will do absolutely anything they can to ruin anything they can

Insightful, poignant, and well-reasoned....[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway. I did appreciate the Fear repop that basically vaporized everyone in-zone. And subsequent trains that killed another slew of people. If folks aren't dying en masse in raids, are they really living?

they call it plane of fear for a reason

It's like watching these guys fumbling the ball on the one yard line with 3 seconds left to win the game. It's been 10+ years just to get here, the moment they ~not us mind you~ have been working for.

I've got to guess which part of the Fear patch from live was implemented? I mean it's free and I donate so I'm still going to enjoy playing, but why does it seem like I - a casual solo player - cares more then P99's developers?

And apparently some of the "patch" requires a reboot:

I wonder when the full "patch" is going to go into effect because it certainly wasn't last Friday.

The staff here are volunteers who have actual real successful lives and work on this stuff how and when it's convenient for them. We're lucky they even still care at all considering 2009 when p99 launched was alot closer to the nostalgic heyday of EQ compared to now when it's an old tired ghost that's been repeatedly raped by dogshit TLP servers

Sometimes I wish I could help pay for a full time support rep so we could get some consistency.

Wizards got some new spells too. Rend, Chill Sight, Bonds of Force. Its fun to check merchants and see what is added after secret patches. I know necros got some new spells too

Not a dev, so I can't give a response for why. I personally like this since it forces people to discover what was released.

However, If someone wants to go through all the historical patch notes though it will say (feb 2001, march 2000 etc). Those would tie into the era patches that we are going through.

Thanks for the reply, I agree it’s fun having these things just dropped into the game and discovering them for ourselves. It was really cool when word of fear’s release was first getting out.

Oh yeah for sure. But what about things that aren't from the official historical patches? For instance when they apparently discovered that some quest turn ins were giving non-classic values and so they nerfed them? That, to my knowledge, isn't part of the official patch history but it wasn't flagged to the players either.

I don't mind just referencing the patch notes to understand what's changed for the official patches, but not knowing when they change other things is somewhat annoying. I wish we'd get an FYI on those types of things. Some poor guy spent hundreds of pp on CB belts and pads for example only to find out by turning them in that they'd been nerfed. That's valuable currency for a new player that could've been saved had the change been communicated.
