you could still have up to what 8 chars on the same account? people just put their chars on other accounts here because it's an option...

edit: also as far as account trading I had multiple people give me their account on live. It wasn't nearly as big a factor as it is here, but it was an option.

When all characters are on the same account its different.

1. You can't have other people log into your other character to do things like power level your own characters.
2. People are less willing to trade their characters, as all their characters were on the same account.

In order to get that kind of freedom you had to buy new box of the game, and pay for the account separately. In its current form on p99 characters and levels are just massively inflated due to this.

Yep, "classic" was ignored in this case, for actual raiding competition. Just like "staring at the spellbook" was removed and many other non-classic things ignored to make the server better without ruining the classic experience.

Bizy, this is an extremely ignorant post. Project1999 attempts to recreate classic mechanics as best as possible (minus variance). The only times classic mechanics are not strictly honored is when its not possible. As for your example for the spell book, that is, from all reports, an unfixable client issue. THAT is the only reason it is allowed to exist, NOT to "make the server better without ruining the classic experience."

Level 35.

Unfixable, afaik.

Below, Nilbog agrees with a poster stating the exact opposite of what you opine: not staring at a spellbook ruins classic authenticity. Note in the following post I added OP's comment for context.

I remember in 1999 when you sat to med the spell book opened blocking your view of anything else. This forced casters to find a safe place to med and does not feel authentic without it.
Thanks.

OP, yes, it's classic, I miss it, and I love nerfing casters.

Spellbook medding wasn't removed until 2002. :P

still would not stop parking characters at targets...

[QUOTE=Toodles;977127]The problem is that letting the staff make such blanketed decisions affects everybody - which is salt in the wound when the only reason it's done, is to appease(or have appeased) the large and whiny top end guilds.

This game has ALWAYS appeased to the top guilds here and on live. What else is new??

I think you are missing the point... without the ability to so easily level and buy characters and then sustain those multiple accounts for free there would not be people with multiple accounts and characters that can then park them at those places.

It's like a domino effect and we've gotten to the point where people that have been playing on this server for so long can do what they are doing because of it.

Not the guilds who trained others constantly, leap frogged other guilds, and were just generally all around assholes to the community. Like someone brought up earlier the PnP would have been enforced on those guilds.

Suspended from one raid mob, one time... that's the punishment? It's pathetic to say the least and hardly even a slap on the wrist.

Hard Core players don't care. I had 9 accounts on live that I paid for every month for years. 3 for my son and 6 for me to 5 or 6 box. Sony loved me. And I loved it also. People in TMO are HARD CORE PLAYERS. They are Pitbulls and love it. And they are laughing their ass off about all the other people on here crying like little girls. I think the Devs are laughing also about this silly thread. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm laughing at you for thinking the Devs enjoy Variance. Nilbog loves classic. Nilbog routinely criticizes the large raid guilds for their tactics:

One huge difference that I've witnessed on p99 compared to my eqlive server experience is the massive amounts of players per raiding guild.

On classic live, I'm not sure if it was the inter-guild conflicts, lack of enough loot to go around, or generally wanting to compete, but there were never guilds this large.

Why so large, raid guilds?

Then if he is so much against it like you seem to think, he can surely change it can't he. This is HIS server. Not TMO's. Has he done shit? NO. Has Sirken stopped it, NO. Just recommended getting the next 4 or 5 guilds together and becoming the new sorry ass top guild that will do the same shit. So like it the way it is or quit and go play on another server. Or better yet just quit raiding on here. Your blood pressure will drop to safe levels. You will thank me for that advise some day.
