If it's finished, it's as simple as setting the server to load the zone (it currently isn't just locked, the server isn't booting it up) and unlocking it. What do we have to do to make this happen?

1st rule of VP: Do not talk about VP.

And then the $10,000 question: Can we then expect the "wipe-it-cleaners" to start over on the fresh R99 server, where the true competition will be, or are they only happy if everyone here loses everything, just out of spite?

I'm thinking it's the latter, and has nothing to do with a fresh start for everyone... because they can have that in a few weeks over on R99. They just gotta overcome a few more challenges...

Its not about making people lose 2 years of work out of spite. Its about putting the project in a position where it could fulfill the original goal of the project. The cons of a server wipe heavily out weigh the pros which is why it will never happen. Rogean and Nilbog don't seem overly concerned about straying away from the timeline and large gaps between content so I wouldn't worry about it.

Only in this context! Rangers are pretty much in danger every other time.

My bet is this will be out before VP

Wiping a server for any reason causes the server to lose all hope of legitimacy. I've seen it on a lot of private servers for various games. You don't do it.

Here I am, sipping my coffee near work, wondering just how things are going on in the world of p99. Turns out it's quite literally the same old shit over and over again. Doodoo. Doodoo everywhere. Stinky, filthy, creamy, steaming piles of doodoo.

Shiftin, you have to realize by now just how stupid your buddies and anti-buddies seem right now. At this point it's like beating a dead horse, but let's make sure the fucker won't move anymore. This time for certain.

You complain about the lack of VP because you want new content yet spend more time here doing the shit you've done a million times over. This doesn't make any sense to me.

You guys have spoken about the absurd amount of time that raiding has come to require, mostly in the form of the dirty sock, and yet are the only ones who partake in that behavior. This makes even less sense to me...

What's worse, though, is that you've attempted to replace the words "obsessive compulsive behavior" and "stupidity" with "competition" and "skill." Trying to convince someone that because you've unnecessarily spent more time logged in means you're better than them at EQ (if that even fucking means anything) is ludicrous.

Complaining about the raid scene and the lack of content being held up because of how greedy, idiotic and the flat-out douchebag behavior you've propagated is even worse. This is your filth that you've helped create. Roll around and revel in it, because this is when you should be enjoying the server the most.

EQ is different than modern MMOs because the competition isn't between you and the content, but between you and the other person looking to kill that dragon in the 15 seconds it takes to do so. It's been driven to such an extreme here that you guys are more willing to wake up at 3am and lose hours of sleep in order to kill a mob whose loot you don't need if it means the other guild doesn't get it. That's not being dedicated, that's called stupid.

If you guys would stop taking this shit so seriously you wouldn't be at this point. Vp would be out, the server would be increasing in population instead of slowly decreasing and the 365 accounts would have been permabanned (instead of shown the welcome mat after a meager 'punishment'), and, to boot, you'd actually get a good night's rest and actually enjoy playing here. Instead it's the same old shit over and over again, only this time it's someone else barking.

Quite frankly, I'm glad I quit. I can't help but shake the feeling that f things had been explained to me beforehand just how the GMs would act and how the raid scene would look it would have spared me quite a bit of time from the beginning.

Can someone explain to me the logic leap between TMO/TR take this game too seriously --> the cheaters would have been banned ifTMO/TR took it less seriously? Is this just a wehrmecht-ish "Jews cause all the problems in this world" replacing "jews" with "uberguilds" and "this world" with "this server"?
