P1999 isn't illegal. You won't go to jail for logging on here. Torrenting software is legal when you already paid for said software in the first place (as most of us have, in this case). At worst those of us here might have broken EQ's EULA and former-Sony could've terminated our accounts with them. Since Daybreak recognized P1999 it's effectively legitimate.

I don't bash folks who enjoy Live, but I see it as a different game than P1999. Sour grapes seems to be part of human nature, however, so some folks seemingly have an innate drive to disparage whatever it is they aren't using at a given time. In this very thread there's lots of sour grapes--from both sides of the discussion.

Phinigel is clearly superior for that portion of players who want to be able to reliably participate in mid-and high-end raids on a fixed schedule of their own choosing.

When you point me to the factually incorrect portion of my statement I will leave. Don't worry I'll wait...... You can't because it doesn't exist. The truth may offend you and cause you to scream "BAN THAT GUY FOR SPEAKING TRUTH" but it doesn't make it any less true.

The irony of people bashing Phinny players for paying to play Everquest when they play on a illegal server is fucking astounding. Not to mention prolly 90% or better of P99 players torrented a pirated copy of the titanium client to play P99 to begin with. I know pretty much anyone I've ever talked to has done so. Search these forums and you'll find people using secret code words and images to point people in the right direction of where they can pirate the titanium client for free. Everquest is not a free game. At least not entirely. Just cause you stole the client and play on a private server of very questionable legality does not mean it's free. Don't get me wrong I did the same thing and enjoyed p99 for several years. But I never bashed others for paying to play on legit EQ servers while doing so because then I'd be a fucking idiot.
genius. you should submit this to the onion.

The act of logging on P99 itself is not illegal. However torrenting Titanium certainly is unless MAYBE you have the titanium EQ disks in your possession but I'd wager the vast majority of us do not. P99 itself (the server) is without question not legal and should Daybreak decide to could end it at any moment. They've just agreed to look the other way and allow it to happen.

I don't really give 2 shits about copyright law. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of people saying basically "LOL U PAID FOR EQ WAT A DUMBASS" while they play on essentially a pirated private server. If you don't understand why that's dumb I don't know what to tell you.

I don't get how this is absurd or an ironic juxtaposition. People who recognize that live EQ has been a scam for the lowest of the low for over 10 years would play on the free retro server. That is a natural pairing and not really amusing in any particular way.

What is the point of the quoted paragraph, except to explain that you have no argument but the pavlovian goodgoy programming going off in ur head?

I wasn't saying that just for funsies. If you can't understand why that position is retarded I literally don't even know what to say to you. You're beyond helping.

You need to just step away trolololwhatever. You're quite annoying and spew some of the worst verbal diarrhea I've seen on these forums.

Go enjoy your pay to win, instanced cuck server. There's no reason for you to be here anymore, right?

Tell everyone that still posts here and doesn't play anymore to do the same thing then.

Consistency!
