In his seminal text, “I mean dude lol,” p99 9-year veteran, Tuljin, employs repetition of the phrase “I love” as a virtue signal to other “hardcore” gamers, who may be on the fence about the recent adjustments to quest experience. Particularly, it is through the use of the pronoun, “I,” that the speaker conjures up the image of a righteous veteran of sorts - clenched fists on his hips, chin held high, the gatekeeper of right and wrong.

I can't really tell the "/s" or not here man lol but either way its comical to me. I am nowhere near as "hardcore" as other people on this box as far as time I can commit to the game is concerned. I do very much like EQ for its "hardcore" gameplay elements and I have since the late 90s.

Manastone and I have a little tete-a-tete going on the forums, so really I am responding to his assertation that "I am mad."

I indeed am -not- mad whatsoever. Watching the Kunark launch unfold is very entertaining to me. What I am mostly happy about is getting to level up in Kunark in Classic gear with my long-time EQ buddies. It is a ton of fun. Everything else is just a bonus.

There are some "classic" game mechanics that have been changed since Blue which I am very happy about. When everyone refers to "classic" including the devs and GMs I'm pretty sure the accuracy of these particular gameplay mechanics are of very high priority yet everyone is so meta crazy they overlook it entirely. No more invis pulling, no more melee push. I noticed in Seb that Jins and Boks now gate. Only Krups and up gated on Blue. I am excited to see what else has been changed.

Everyone has their heads so far up their asses, unfortunately, that they're gonna sit and bitch about having to go kill mobs to get XP because the devs want to attempt to recreate the "spirit" of classic. Really, they're gonna go bitch about playing the game.

Thing is though...bitching about having to go play EQ for xp on p99 is nothing new. That's been happening since....uh.....2013 really? Really when the Chardok machine started to crank full force and far too many idiots and assholes had far too many lvl 60s far too easily which permanently marred the "spirit" of the project. Many veteran players would concur. I couldn't even roll a toon here until I finished grad school, I would have rolled earlier if I could have.

So idk, I'm not a gatekeeper at all. Its not about "right or wrong." Its about how I actually -like- EQ. I like how the devs are trying to not only recreate technical mechanics but also apply the "spirit of the rule" where applicable. Cancelling Chardok AOE took far too long.

The fact of the matter is many people who ended up on p99 actually -don't- like EQ at all. Whatsoever. Its been that way for years. They like Discord, Google docs, sitting around all day collecting DKP instead of....going and playing the game, and turning the game into "WoW."

Then they're gonna go bitch and moan when an xpack is dropped. Who -actually- has their hands on their hips?

We've had a lot of days of classic so @ 5 chips a day that'd = how many chips and how much exp would that = on an iksar with a big exp penalty?

So what if there is 1 person (and I'm not accusing castle of doing this) spent the last year only farming bone chips so they could macro the turn in.

no one actually gives a shit about any of these people for abusing quests or whatever.

it's all about making fun of them for being fucking losers and there's literally nothing they can do to defend themselves

that's it. end of story.

he couldn't even do the /target /fart down correctly, poor guy.

[adichi]

it's not like they perma banned scroll exp, you'll get to use it in a month from now anyway so its not a complete loss... you just won't be server first 60

although I understand banning scrolls, banning all quest exp seemed a bit too far
