Players will always compete for raid mobs; the point of contention is the rules - Page 16

He needs to use his magic knowledge of eq to find some info on how bow pulling worked though.

My magic knowledge of EQ is running out of uses as Nilbog/Kanras continue to patch things. I'm very pleased by their progress.

I can't wait till they're ready to address resists / dispel mechanics. We had that banged out in a day on EQC, verified by non-pixel-lusting lovers of classic EQ.

The server I do not give a shit about. Classic EQ, I do.

Nilbog, Kanras, Aeolwind, Ambrotos, Sirken are stand up guys. Rogean OK too but he's gotta be burned out by being involved with the mayhem at this point. I imagine he still enjoys some good EQ server drama/espionage like many of us at times. Maybe he will fill his own + Uthgaard's old dev shoes and get crackin' on Velious.

Show of hands who wants to watch and referee plane of fear and VP raids that start by getting out of bed at 3am/coming home from work and then lasting for several hours? Every week. For free. No pixels.

Tried to fight this fight several times, but it's an exercise in futility because there's enough simpletons on P99 who think saying "deal with it" and "cry moar" makes them cool people, and/or who desire to keep most players out of the endgame in order to remain part of the elite, so the problem is never fixed. The admins don't seem to want to acknowledge the issue, either. It's a pity, because it has always been by far the biggest problem and the one elephant in the room that keeps this server from being truly great. It's also the cause of countless other problems, such as the widespread RMTing which takes place largely because it's the only way for most players to "progress" since there simply isn't room for more swinging dicks in the raid scene.

This situation isn't classic -- in fact it's precisely a product of an overwhelmingly unclassic factor: there's only one server and no solution to the fact that it has like five servers worth of would-be endgame players. The problem is expressly a consequence of it being an emulated server instead of classic live EQ, but it's somehow defended as a feature of classic EQ. It makes no sense and it's such a blemish on the server, its main failing and the root of very nearly every other problem that plagues it. What a joke, really. Horrible mismanagement of what could have been the perfect Everquest experience for thousands of players.

You know Platlord was caught and banned? Widespread RMTing? More like under the table shit here and there that you couldn't find out about no matter what you did. It's not a huge issue anymore, I don't think.

The raid scene wasn't designed to support thousands, this timeline is the problem with that. Velious will alleviate but not solve this problem.

Honestly, this is wrong. Platlord's site is back up to selling project1999 plat and items and there are other resources if you follow the breadcrumb trail. It was only suppressed temporarily. You don't think now that the DDoS and 'duping' fire has fizzled, things won't go right back to how they were? With that many posts, I would think you would know better.

Doesn't surprise me.

So where's he getting his prenerf fungi sticks from? iirc 3 went down the tubes, along with many other items that cannot be replaced. If he's selling those again, look for trades involving them. Should be easy to catch.

I'm unsure if he is at full capacity again or what is listed on his site, I do not visit it. Posting here does not help me determine that.

While I'm sure they are currently working at a diminished capacity, my guess is that him and his team are working diligently to resupply. I know for a while people were posting that he took P99 off his site, but a quick search shows it is back again. I applaud the GMs for their effort to stop him. I wish there was more they could do. It's a silly cat and mouse game.
