Are fungus tunics classic?

I love reading the kedge keep guide write up. Guy was sick of Lguk being full. Hell even those 4 gargs were a camp.

So he went to kedge and learned the zone, got insane solo exp and never looked back.

I'm regards to fungis, I was a warrior on live, always had a cleric in my group and never did alts. Felt my money was better spent on weapons and velious armor or busy trying to raid. I actually didn't have a haste item until late velious / SoL when an RBG dropped and my pug group let me claim 'need before greed' so got for free.

Was a different time back then when camaraderie was a driving force in us all.

RBG NBG! That is crazy! Well deserved though.

I remember when I was fairly new on p99. I got my first toon into Seb, Jimjam - an untwinked warrior main. I was stoked when a Truncheon of Doom dropped. Of course I lost the lottery and it went to a barbarian shaman. I remember recognising their character’s name matching a prolific forum poster’s name, but through the sands of time am not sure exactly who it was anymore. Either way I hope their warrior alt enjoyed it as they claimed it would /salt.

It wasn't me! I don't have a warrior alt (and if I won some warrior loot in a roll, I wouldn't have lied about an alt ... I'd just say "tough shit, I won the roll and I need Topor" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

same btw [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] the zone in to sebilis always had dozens of people at it, and a lot of us hung out at bugs while LFG. I remember helping them DPS their mobs hoping they would invite me next, lol. I never felt super in danger.

On modern P99 I remember a see invis frog seeing through my invis and not being able to make it from the entrance to the exit alive. Died so dang fast. Another thing that prob way less likely to have happened in Sebilis "back in the day."

I do wish Sebilis was as popular on P99 as it was on OQ EQ. KC still had it's place obviously, but not like it does now ! Especially for players over level 52 !

I feel like for awhile Seb was very popular for groups back when the servers had more population so people had to spread out at least a little bit.

Also back before "people soloing Heiro cloaks" was a thing (which made the 2nd-most popular camp in the zone far less popular), and before Fungi was regularly trio-ed (which made the most popular camp far less popular).

Man, I miss those times.

Not sure on Heiro cloak but I do remember it still being popular while fungi has been regularly trio-ed. But again that was like maybe 2 years ago I want to say? Both servers had decently higher pops back then

To be clear, I didn't mean to imply that the staff changes to the meta were 100% responsible; things like population matter too of course.

I just think that when PUGs lost the two best camps in the zone to soloers/trioers, it was a major factor in Seb changing from a popular PUG dungeon to a BYOG dungeon.

People were more interested in fashion and stats on live. A cool look was a big deal for dress up elf SIM players.

Were all a bit more practical now.

Very true. I was offered a Cloak of Flames for my Wurmslayer when Kunark was first released because it looked so cool compared to the generic weapon graphics. Sadly my 56k modem decided to drop me before the trade was made, and they weren't online afterwards.

Haha I wore charred guardian armor, and stuff so I could be an EVIL paladin.

I was such a trash tank.

[shovelquest]

I wore Black Chitten legs on a pal for the look XD

People think I'm meme'ing when I tell them this, but I remember when Manastones weren't considered a good or valuable item. I had a next door neighbor who was obsessed with trading, that's all he did on EQ, and I remember someone offering him a Manastone for a Runed Mithril Bracer and him getting offended. And then the patch hit shortly after this and he was kicking himself for rejecting the deal [You must be logged in to view images.
