Question for p99 vets

[Seducio]

Thanks for the link, Botten. If you zoom out into that whole thread, look how lively and how many different folks were posting on these boards in 2020 compared to now.

I feel like most of the ppl in that thread just moved on to TAKP, wow hardcore, or probably even PQ now.

A few solid games came out in the last two years too

It's less of a forums bad situation and more of a p99 is past its own half-life situation. A few actually probably got old and died. All of these things accounts for like 8 ppl.

Zoomers aren't going to be able to handle long form TLDR threads with boomer and gen X refs. So it's very unlikely p99 will be able to replace its losses. In this regard.

You are on to something here. But we all know how this place could revive itself. It just isn't clear if the will to do that is there.

This forum use to be amazing. Most moved to private channels and the good posters hurt some ones feel feels banned and retired. What's, left is the same liberal retards and social justice warriors. Been dead for years.

It's over for most bbs since discord

The Popular vote for president has widened in margin every election period.

But population has little meaning unless it is occurring in a more blue direction in popular conservative states.

And that is exactly what is happening. With population centers getting bigger in each of these red states they are becoming more progressive; more adaptive - more accepting.

Sorry you want to live in an unchanging society but your values aren't shared by popular opinion.

In a way your mental labels fit yourself as you in fact become less normalized. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Both silo32 and Botten would get their asses kicked in real life if they talked to an adult like that.

Some gain awareness that talking to real life people is different than talking to folks online.

I feel like it has a lot to do with the entrenched populations of players on both blue and green. Especially since they mostly pull from the same pool. For example a lot of green players are basically blues who've already been here a decade.

And the prevailing attitude at end game is "lets be as disruptive and controlling as possible"... very little RP and beer and chips while we camp FBSS with the newbz.

I mean it still happens. Butt more rarely than on live! Heck. I am guilty as charged. I used to make it a daily mission to round up newbies and go do efreeti, lord, magus, frenzy etc back in like post pop days on live with my lvl 85 cleric... than mercs came around...things changed. I changed. Last time I played on green I took a newb cleric into befallen only to see it getting bard swarmed to lvl some rando without a grp... the ppl where very antisocial and west side story so I bounced...

Same with my ranger and lvl 40+ players farming crags and they would pull all of the carrion spiders too just because they could even tho they saw me exping. I wouldn't mind them killing the crags butt they took everything.

I spent an hr one night getting 3 other ppl to go to sola with me and there was like 2 ppl in zone deep and away. We set up and cleared a few mobs only to have like 5 different high levels timing respawns come in and kill everything and ALSO train us wiping us 3x. And I set up the group back by the solb zl. Out of the way

It's not worth the time frapsing and lawyering on p99 either. It shouldn't be hard for these players to recieve attitude adjustments butt whatever..


I logged off and loaded up minecraft for a few months. And I posted less too.

Anyways.

The community could "be better" butt it's 2023 and “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?”

Lol. Plz don't read this as me upset and whining. Just dropping facts and anecdotes!

It will all improve as population drops and ppl get lonely maybe lol.

Out of respect for what the devs built here. I have enjoyed this place for so many freaking hours it's only commensurate of my time here to have respect for the place. P1999 is an impressive and important part of EQ history. I'm worried about it's legacy if it doesn't shore up certain things that could alter how folks remember it.

I have had jobs and even mini careers where I stuck around for the 'people'. EQ catches me in a different way. I stay here not because of any person but because there isn't anything like it. Live moved on and outside of emulation there is no other way to peek back into late last millennium of EQ gaming than here or a couple other servers.

Nilbog, Rogean, Haydar, Telin, the names go on and on and it's regretful that I miss any. The CSR team, Menden now plus Medris and others. Even folks from the past. Uthgaard. Sirken. Braknar. Nowadays Mortecom, Stigion, Visceryn. So many working behind the scenes over time. For no money all out of love of the game.

If the movie is about to end and the credit scene hasn't been done what are we left with. A field of dreams was built and we all were able to enjoy it.

My account is just as old as yours.

And when you are around as long as us you see the same people talking to each other.

Only you would know them as starkind.
