Why are p99 devs trying to make Green non-classic and ignoring proof?

Maybe you need to read the word trying a few more times."real classic mechanics"

Outside of game code, which was buggy (still is buggy, really. and well documented in exactly what ways. And you patch buggy things out of games, because that's how that works) you can't really try to argue about people's behaviours being "Classic"

Amendments happen for a reason, guuuuuuuy.

There was a rule for awhile that then wasn't a rule anymore.

Can we stack swords to infinite heights for a couple months to satisfy what you think of as well and truly Classic, or do you just really like this one mechanic and you're passionate enough about it to the point of madness?

Cause it can be one, both, or neitherI think it will keep the numbers more stable and consistent.

The way it did on Live, when they changed this oddly specific thing you miss because it was genuinely toxic. This is actually true, but not really relevant to anything you're fighting for.

I think he might be arguing that original eq is inseparable from the player base originally found there. There were lots of noobs, roleplayers from Table Top, sheer assholes as many were coming hot off the heels of Ultima Online. Those things did shape what to expect from the game when you logged on, they were part of the game and the memory.

Granted things do change, there is no real way to recapture that aspect. I wouldn't mind having a time machine to go back and experience it myself for a bit, if anything just to get away from 2019 people using Canadian descriptors such as Toxic. A bunch of female halflings marching around Misty Thicket carrying "No Hate Speech" signs. Angry about me stealing their bixie stonehive honies.

The whole unpoliced thing would be fun for these people to start with. Then people would gather into literally train teams and perma kill the jerks doing it.

They would tire of dying eventually, when they have body after body with 1 item on to keep it from disappearing.

No PnP sounds all great and wild west (actually it sounds shit) but even the training jerks will get their payback (over and over till they have to make a new character to escape)

Seen it plenty of times. People are jerks to people, KS, train and ninja loot. Eventually their reputation preceedes them and they have to make a new character so no one knows them anymore (until they are exposed all over again)

If this server was classic me and 30 other people would be active, while 500+ people were crying on the forum.

Training PoF raids repeatedly without any GM intervention is classic. Fearing mobs and claiming you wanted to screaming terror them (same spell icon) is classic.

Lets not pretend bluebies know what classic ever was like.

Creating massive trains is not as risk-free or easy as it sounds. Player allowed training encourages grouping (safety in numbers) and Monks/Necro/SK that participate in this behavior quickly develop horrible horrible reputations and find them selves unable to procure rez's. A monk will eventually die when attempting to train another group...or if the group is strong enough its free pulls, either way its no where near as game-breaking as people are making it out to be here on the forums. I guess the exception is solo/duo groups getting shit on - which I approve of anyways because most here on P99 are ellitist assholes who like to min max group content with as little people as possible.

So in a way player sanctioned training would make P99 more group friendly and community based (reputations, ect)... which is the most #classic thing there is.
