Project 1999 needs to evolve with the players, just a bit

So you're going to bring up the "this server is all about having fun, so you should play the class/the style/the times/etc. that are fun for you" point, but basically in the same breath hate on someone who doesn't enjoy playing in exactly the same way you do.

Cool.


If you can't understand why someone wants to level up as quickly as they can and therefore feels like grouping with hybrids (or wizards, or bad players, or whatever) should generally be kept to a minimum, then you're just plain dense. No min/maxers are ever making threads on these forums telling you that they think your choices in p99 are idiotic, but the forums are rife with casual-ish folk slamming everyone who doesn't like to spend their hours /played in lcy in a group of 57+ troll sk, rang, iksar monk, druid, druid, wizard.

If you want to build a strawman in a vacuum, then sure, that's exactly what I meant.

Edit: I just wanted to add, I don't hate on anybody. Don't be so truculent.

What I intended to impart is that I have difficulty reconciling a player seeking such a place to experience an era of a very old online game and then trying to consume what they labored to find in a quick fashion.

I understand what makes players want to outdo one another... I just don't understand why it's so rampant here. We all have our own maudlin stories of classic EQ and many profess they are looking for the magic they once knew. I've found that magic. I'm savoring it. Hey I can work alongside power gamers no problem... that's how I can bottom feed and find great drops in EC. I can have great gear and not be guilded because of that upper echelon player.

I've been in his shoes. I've been in kick ass guilds that bent what the game offered to its will.

It's as simple as that. Maybe it can be construed as a hypocritical stance. Maybe it is a hypocritical stance. I still won't understand someone who professes a want to relive memories and then proceeds to undertake the task at all possible min/max speed.

/shrug

You will never ever hear me consciously begrudge another's playstyle so long as it doesn't cross the line of griefing.

I apologize for having to spell that out.
