I see a lot of people just don’t get it… The server is dying because of Quarm, and what I want is for people to finally wake up and stop using “classic” as a convenient excuse. Changes need to be made if we want to bring back all those lost players.

Personally, I still play both Blue and Green with my characters. Why? Because it saddens me to see the place where I grew up slowly dying. And even though I watch people doing the same things as always, then turning around and claiming that a merge would somehow fix everything — it’s frustrating. They don’t see the reality or the seriousness of the situation.

At least I don’t want to see P99 shut down. But what about you? Would you rather cling to “classic” until the server closes, or finally accept some small QoL changes that should’ve been added long ago — fixes to things that were never truly balanced in the first place? Everyone screams “classic,” but Enchanters and spellcasters in general are anything but classic right now.

It's not "dying because of Quarm". It's currently low pop because the server is old and mudflated. You must not have been around pre-Green. We ran this same pop on P99 for years pre-Green. Then when they launched Green it exploded for awhile.

The same thing happens on the TLPs and other emulated servers. The same thing will happen on Quarm eventually. Then when a new server is launched people come back because they like doing a fresh playthrough. If P99 launched Green 2.0 tomorrow there would be close to 2k people playing it.

We don't need your suggested changes. We don't WANT a server with your changes. If we did, guess what we'd be doing: PLAYING ON QUARM.

So take your BS, shove it up your rear end, and go back to your easy server.

Dude, you don’t get to tell me where to play. Try learning to read first, unless skipping school was your main achievement.

"You don't get to tell me where to play but I get to tell you how you should want to play"

Right, because all that really matters to him is a “representation” of what EQ was in that era, who cares about the players, right? In fact, who even needs players at all? I’m sure without them, the server would still be a beautiful little “representation.”

Your comment makes zero sense. To begin with, the guy actually went through the trouble of creating the server, then added rules, improved them over time, and even implemented non-classic systems just to prevent people from killing each other over camped items, XP bonuses, events, yeah, clearly the playerbase doesn’t matter at all. lol

So please, stop with the nonsense already…

Again, you must not have been around here very much. Nilbog has quite literally said, in his own words, that he does not care how many people play on the server. All those things you listed aren't done to increase player numbers, they are done to create a fun experience for the people who do play here. They quite literally couldn't care less about your whining opinion, nor do any of us. Get lost.

I was actually thinking of playing here but this cd288 fellow has convinced me to play Quarm instead.

Thanks for letting me know the type of person who still plays here.

So yeah p99 isn’t dying because of Quarm, it’s dying because it’s not classic and because of people like you.

if the other servers are so good, why post here

Rogean got the best forums, even if it is third age and most of the most powerful elves already sailed west.

Enjoy Quarm, I hope it brings you what you're looking for. Most P99 players in game are some of the most welcoming and helpful gamers I've met. I will go out of my way to help anyone in game.

What we don't like is when people come from other servers and demand that P99 be changed to suit themselves. We play P99 because we like it the way it is. Just like people play other servers because they like them the way they are. We don't go on Quarm's discord server (or subreddit if they have one) and demand that Quarm be changed to be like P99. Quarm offers an experience that certain people like, and that's great. P99 offers a different experience that other people like, which is fine too. OP came in and started obnoxiously insulting people who disagreed with them over demanding that P99 change to be like Quarm for no other reason other than "I want two servers offering me the experience I like instead of one."

And again, P99 isn't "dying" it's going through the same population cycle it always does (and that most other servers go through). Server is old and mudflated, so people stop playing until the next iteration when they come back for a fresh run.

P.S. And in case you or anyone else thinks this is a real post (and responds to it):

Just look at the poster's history: it's painfully obvious that it's a troll account.

You know how McDonalds is a real estate company, disguised as a food service company?

P99 is a forum project, disguised as an emulated classic Everquest project.
