Be nice

[Harmonicdeth]

Problem with Play Nice rules, is it says to be ethical, and most of those who do the things we all gasp at, and some don't cause you're one of the that do them, is they think they are being ethical...

[Daywolf]

Main Entry: nice
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English nice "foolish, stupid," from early French nice (same meaning), from Latin nescius "ignorant," from nescire "not to know," from ne- "not" and scire "to know"

I think it stems from a major problem the whole world has... accountability.
From the top to the bottom people get away with being the biggest asshole, major con-artist or worse. Some just dont give a fuck anymore so we have to go to extreme lengths just to be neighborly so the target of your decency doesn't think you have ulterior motives anymore.

When I told the guy driving down the road that his tire was flat he looked at me like I was insulting him....
When I held the door open for the lady at the store she didnt say "thank you" or smile or anything - she just zoomed by as if I was the regular door man....
I could go on & on with instances & more proof but it does nothing but bad to reflect all the negativity that people harbor inside themselves & some magnify & then broadcast to others.

TL;DR: being nice? you may end up last as they say... & link

When you leave that LFG bard for hours while your group has a spot because its not top efficient.
When you call names that chanter for not remembering lower duration mez overwrites longer.
When you two man ragefire in front of that poor cleric waiting for spawn and ask him 20k for the heart.
When you claim "Hiero/Duke" solo in crypt.
When you shit on the kill rotation people took years to come up with.
When you ignore that noob asking for a sow.
When you tip 2 plat to this 39 druid who came all over dreadland to evac you.

Just try to remember this is an emulated server of a long gone game from the 90ies. We'r a couple of thousand people, most over 30, nostalgic and genuinely happy the server just exist.

Be nice.

I'm a nice person. When i started playing on p99 a few months ago, i was super social and tried to include anyone and everyone in my groups, even "non-optimal" classes.

The more i play, the more bitter and jaded i become.

The amount of bad and stupid players is staggering for a 15 years old game filled with "mature, over 30" people.

I'm not the best by far, i make honest mistakes. Sometimes there's confusion and lack of communication, i understand that. I'm talking about really basic things and basic game mechanics and paying attention to whats happening.

Sometimes my forehead is all red and swollen from the constant facepalming, i think i'm gonna need a cranial reconstruction surgery.

At first i didn't understand why would people want to solo in a game like everquest, where the gameplay is pretty boring and it's all about the "social experience".

Now i understand.

That's not always the case. Mesmerize overwrites everything (except bard and necro mez). But Entrance and Dazzle will overwrite each other in any order, even though Dazzle is the higher/longer mez.

Maybe you take things a little too seriously? Not trying to flame you or start a war, but have you tried to help them? I get that sometimes people are bad's, I really do, but rarely have I ran into one in a group setting that made me face palm. I always play hybrids, the hate I receive, but then I shut them up with my ability to play. Never have I had someone so bad that if you say something to them that they don't straighten up. I try to be patient and pleasant to everyone I play with, cause its as much their time as it is mine that we are sharing.

Once you make it past... 35? Nice is out the window. You start working hard at Eq, so you put up with less. You become jaded, so you put up with less. You get treated with disrespect, so you put up with less. You become the thing you hate. Post 35 is the dark side.

I remember talking about bronze armor in the karanas with a small family group of EQers and thinking all was wonderful.

Ignorance is bliss.
