P99 is a custom easy mode server

[Seducio]

Well reasoned post. I agree popularity of P99 stems from one box and also I'd add from progress through the first two expansions only. PQ is testing the theory that a one box past Velious could be popular.

Most p99ers don't like boxing. That said those who like to multibox tend to enjoy higher APM play than EQ was designed for. These are playmakers in other games and find EQ slow. No judgement Trex. I like both P99 and TAKP. I've found more knowledgeable players there than here. The top players here have a political edge to them from all the UN shenanigans. The top players on TAKP understand the EQ world deeper.

All that said, you'd be surprised that something like 80% of p99 players would rather low APM warm body their way to DKP victory. They're watching Netflix. EQ is just their second distraction device.

It's the single box rules.

allowing showEQ is an absolutely insane decision

people cheat all the time on p99 and get away with it hope this helps sometimes they are even caught and let off the hook!

remember before our anti-cheat was good staff had to spawn multiple fake versions of mobs all over a raidzone to juke all the showeq cheaters? lmao

Technically I don't think he's allowing ShowEQ or any other cheat program. ShowEQ and other programs are banned on Quarm ... they're just not caught by a client-side anti-cheat mechanism, like here on P99.

Personally I'm skeptical that a ShowEQ user who is trying not to get caught ... ie. they're not wandering from zone to zone checking for rare nameds and making a beeline for them, they're simply playing the game and using their "secret super-ranger powers" to occasionally "check on" a mob that they know is up ... even can be caught.

But again, technically the program will be banned, and if anyone is (somehow) caught using it, they will also be banned.

P99 is for people that are done watching all porn you can find online.

I played on dial up back in the day, and it seemed channeling was affected by a poor connection and latency as well.

I also remember that I could not outrun a single mob on my barn warrior without sow. But on p99 I am able to.

The way eqemu channeling works there is also a glitch involving player and mob position involving X/Y axis. I'm not going to give away the details but it is possible to juice the already stupidly unclassic channeling to nearly never fail.

There are several bugs like this I've discovered and never seen anyone else figure out. The code is still quite shaky.
