Congrats on understanding how time works. We don’t have to crank cars to start them either.

Then don't call classic. It's false advertising.

One thing I miss from classic were the players outside every major city begging any high level looking player in /tells for spare coins. Really gave the game sort of a real word vibe with them as the local homeless

One thing I like about P99 is enchanter charm never fades. I can log out, come back the next day and still have something charmed. Thanks devs, will send more $ soon

The greatest thing about the early days is that it was a brand new experience and people were more genuine.

There was no guild full of druids dedicated to making money. That is an alien concept when it comes to classic gameplay.

Classic Everquest had guilds like "Legion of the Little Folk" which only invited Dwarves, Halflings, or Gnomes.

So there were definitely joke/special guilds out there. It's not like people didn't communicate or have fun with each other.

Roleplay is classic because roleplay is fun.

Dial A Port isn't roleplay. It's a business operation. Dial A Port is Goldman Sachs not an adventurer. It just wants money, that's all, just like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet do.

Aren't we all faking it at our jobs though?

More than half of the IT industry suffers from 'Impostor Syndrome', for example.

Role playing having a job is pretty adventurous.

At this point p99 isn't a "classic" server. It's just a custom server like the dozens of other custom eq servers that exist. The dev promise that they would strive to always make the server more classic was broken a long long time ago.

I’m gonna strawman you as saying “devs are ruining Everquest “. If you think about it that would actually be pretty classic.
