Bowgun received nearly as harsh a penalty as people who cheated/hacked for 2 years... lol. Sorry bowgun, next time you should try to break the rules more since it appears the penalties are nearly equal

The fact of the matter is P1999 is not friendly to new EverQuest players or MMORPG players in general. Using bad pathing to one's advantage would intuitively seem like intelligent gameplay but in many MMORPGs this behavior is against the rules. Usually on other MMORPG, where players pay to play, the player is given a warning and he stops what he is doing and goes on his marry way. However, on P1999, where there is no cost to create an account and there is no monetary incentive to keep players playing, the GMs/Devs have opted to use a shoot-first-never-ask-questions later policy. This policy was likely adapted because they believe that most players are Everquest Vets that will stop at nothing to get the upper hand, breaking rules in the process. They make a poor assumption that players are fully aware of every rule they break. This policy does not fare well for true newbs or people who just play this game leisurely because these are the type of people who are not constantly consulting the rulebook for everything they do. In other words, GM/Devs expect you to have the attitude that "If something is too easy, it's likely an exploit". If you're not the type of player who isn't aware of what constitutes easy/hard then how are you supposed to know if what you're doing is somehow circumventing the rules? It's sad that GMs don't take into consideration context of violations before making a ruling. Perhaps I'm off base but is it not a different situation when a lowbie group wearing newb armor slaying gnolls in BB violates pathing rules versus a level 45 fungi-wearing shaman in lguk violating pathing rules? If people here see these situations the same then wow, just wow, there are no words. Had GM let this group off with a warning then we wouldn't have this thread, their group would have learned about pathing exploits and to avoid them, and everybody would go on their marry way. In contrast, raiders who continually violate the rules are given the same one week suspensions again and again. Where is the logic to punishments? Obviously raiders will continue to play, but applying the same harsh punishment to new players who may or may not know better is almost ludicrous. | |||

Man, you need to buck up bitch
I got suspended every other day on P99, but I am the 1% and pay for 35% of the server upkeep like I'm some god damn troll SuperPAC so I always was able to skirt the rule of the law. Behind every iron fist is a pandering hand, perhaps you should give me $50 and I'll hook you back in with one of my drone-like corrupt GM plants | ||

It seems that most people here are more concerned with the relative punishment rather than the actual punishment. Personally, I don't care if you are a newb or if you have been doing this for years - if you abuse game mechanics you can expect to be punished. Quite frankly, it seems more like your ego was bruised than anything else. Once again, ignorance is no excuse.
