P99 is a custom easy mode server

[Seducio]

Trex that is less than half a thought. What are you saying.

"Our goal is to restore the magic and difficulty of the original Everquest game, including the mechanics, interface, and challenges of Original Content, Kunark, and Velious. Project 1999 is the most popular and most accurate reincarnation of Old School Everquest."

Your right they don't care that p99 is the most popular server. They don't care at all. They care so little about that fact that they even put it on the front of their site advertising the server.

Since you are so brilliant though go ahead and continue to show the world that you figured it all out.

[Trexller]

yeah what part of that statement suggests anything like

"Please give us praise and appreciation"

the ass kissing plebs around here are always like, "DURR I appreciate the work they do"

as if the P99 devs actually give a fuck whether you live or die

They don't

back in like 2008 a group of nerds on ventrilo were like, "Hey I wonder if we could emulate the live EQ servers, specifically the classic EQ game"

then they did it

that's it

Shitty humans that lack the ability to show gratitude are fun to talk to.

[unsunghero]

The only and I mean ONLY way to show appreciation that anyone gives a fuck about is

You guessed it

Money

Everyone appreciates money. I donate, and I hope others donate, especially the chronically online people no-life-ing the fucking bottleneck items in this game. But I doubt they do!

In fact, I bet that some of the people who play the most, donate the least

Oh there are more ways. I was going to say accurate bug report posts with linked evidence. That way you are helping the end goal of the server and you leave it a better place.

Just to circle back, isn't that exactly what azxten did? He presented a bug post with evidence to help make this place more classic, and the staff said:

Did they really say that or say "we'll look into it"? Don't give me some 'silence speaks volumes' BS either. Peeps have real life that doesn't cause them to fix things instantly. and like I said, some seemingly simply mechanics can be very tricky to implement. As an example Telin was unable to increase frequency of mage pet casts just by playing with database values. +mana cap on items has very good evidence, but who knows how this client handles things. Sneak Pulling / Push to interrupt NPCs was the silliest easy mode thing that was super not classic and lasted for like 10 years or something before being fixed.

The fact is this server emulates classic everquest extremely accurately as back in the day. Meta junkies need to chill the fuck out and stop bitching when a fix doesn't go their way immediately and just be thankful for what they have. If they never patched P99 ever again it would still be an awesome museum server to the original EQ.

Exactly. Let them turn off this server and see what people have to say.

Nilbog said he'd look into it ... two years ago:

I haven't had the time to review this yet, but if it is an improvement on our existing system, it will certainly be considered and credit given where it is due.

A forum post is a dialogue, is it not? If one side stops communicating for an extended time, doesn't that communicates something too? I don't think it's unreasonable to draw some conclusions after two years of radio silence to Azxten's post.

I 100% agree with all that, except for the implication that people who want classic EQ are "meta junkies".

Look, this channeling thing has a major impact on the game. Fixing it could make this game noticeably more like it was in '99-'01 ... not just in an arbitrary "meta enthusiast" way, but in a real/meaningful "balance unbalanced classes" way.

I think everyone who has bought into this server's mission should support that.
