I don't necessarily agree with these but I can see the merit behind the thought...except nbg is retarded

The Internet in general was a different place back then. People seemed to care a lot more about their rep and took the "community" a lot more seriously than people do pretty much anywhere now.

When I first came here I was just excited to play classic EQ, people were decent in general, let the server know about rotting guises etc. But when we started raiding..... Oh yes.... Shit show would be putting it lightly, the freaking GMs lost it because the players were such lunatics. A few years of that kind of end game, plus open account selling created a greedy and viscous rule lawyering population. Nobody will ever follow any of these "rules" on p99.

Never understood this idea in EQ

4) We tried to follow a need before greed rule, in fact EQ was where that term came from. This means that if a cleric item dropped at a camp and a cleric was there, you let the cleric have the item if he needed it. If they didn't you rolled.

most items are droppable which means if a 1k item drops everyone could use that money to get value from the drop they were there for.

Because it wasn't about money, it was about helping others succeed in the game. Back in 1999, most of the community shared a bond of brotherhood/sisterhood as gamers where by we simply enjoyed being with each other and made friendships. In game currency had no real value, but the friendships we made did. So when we saw a tranquil staff drop, we didn't look at the item as a 20K in our banks, we looked at it as a weapon that would help our monk friend do more damage when we faced bigger monsters.

Today, there are people like you who cannot grasp the concept of why we play MMORPGs. They place value on an intangible form of currency instead of the friend they may make by following the social aspect of the game design. Hence, need before greed.

A few days ago, a level 60 rogue was looking for Yendar Starpyre for his epic. I saw a level 60 mage engage the npc, and then demand 3000 plat to reset the mob, or else he was going to kill him and the guy would have to wait 8 hours for a repop.

I wish more people would live by these decency rules, but I doubt it

I find it highly unlikely that a rogue made it to 60 on p99 with no epic.

Fastboy21- I am, no sounds like. I'm not the judge not lest ye be judged, kind of person I'm the judge me by what I do as I'm judging you by what you do. In fact judge not lest ye be judged is about calling individuals out on their bad deeds, not making people aware of bad deeds in general.
