Server Return

[Omnimorph]

I'd rather there was no 50% exp bonus, but then i'm not gonna whine about it because it will encourage a few more people to come on. A weekend would probably be better in my opinion, but hey, i'm just looking forward to being back on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was just about to start playing P99 the day the server went down. As an old MMO vet, any downtime can feel long. But having not been able to even start yet, this past week has been killing me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I'm so pleased that old EQ has been reborn and I appreciate all the work being done to keep it going. I obviously can't comment much on it as I haven't played yet, but if it's at all what I expect I shall be donating regularly. During the downtime I've recruited 4 other old EQ vets to join me and the anticipation is killing us.

My question is this: When you say you're on track to be up Friday, does that mean that sometime Friday it should be back up and running, or it'll be up by Friday? Just curious as I have the day off and others are debating on taking the day too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Exp Bonus: Not classic, potentially a slippery slope case, but I think enough dissent has been shown to keep any other exp bonus periods to a minimum. I think I'd prefer no bonus, but as we have it I'm just going to take it as the fun little change it's intended to be. It also will help me sucker my partner into playing, muahaha.

OOC: Again, not classic and I'll admit that I was disappointed to see it when I first logged on. However, rather than being elitist and potentially alienating newer/less hardcore gamers when we do not have a surplus of players, I think it would be far better to use more traditional methods of communication (/who + tell, shouts, EC tunnel auctions, etc) ALONGSIDE ooc rather than insisting the old ways won't work until ooc is gone. Some people don't want to be old school with the communication, and we aren't going to convince them otherwise. Far better to talk how we would like to and in doing so create a community with players who ARE interested in more personal communication. You'll probably need to keep ooc on to be kept abreast of some things, but it was the same back in the day when you would have the same number of people in the game world now all in a single zone!

Little will be accomplished trying to convince people they are "playing the game wrong." All we can do is play it how we want to and find who we want to play with that way.


BTW, yay for P1999!

I think the experience bonus is fine. If people are concerned about the experience bonus for one week, they are certainly free to stay off the server during this time. The vast majority of the players who are either happy about it or don't care about the bonus experience will be online, playing and having fun.
Anyone who has played EQ before knows full well that people will complain no matter what happens.
Once again, if you feel that this is "un-classic" or that it will ruin game play for you or anything else negative, feel free to stay off during this time. At least this way, your characters will not be sullied by this extra experience and the rest of us will have fun playing the game.

I think the fact that there are like 5 seperate mostly unrelated flame wars going on in this one thread that has next to nothing to do with any of the flames is evidence of the fact that serious business professional trolling takes place on the P99 forums.
