I guess this goes here?

The purpose of p99 is to emulate classic content. Not to emulate your exact experience of the game that happened 15 years ago.

True words from a man named Portbitch.

I'm tired of hearing defense for the staff because the project is free. Nostralius was free and had top notch CS support with a user base of nearly 25,000. Project 99 is around 1500 and actively loses members because of lack of attention by staff. Either volunteer to do the job correctly or don't do it at all - I doubt there's a shortage of Guide apps.

Just because there are plenty of Guide apps doesnt mean those people are qualified. I would imagine 75% of the people that apply wouldnt even pass the checks to become a guide. Then to actually do the Guide work and deal with the bullshit on this server is more then any volunteer should ever have to deal with. I'll admit i applied to become a guide and then realized i wanted no part in running a Adult daycare on the internet.

Just wondering, how was your app received?

After i applied a few weeks later i was asked if i was still interested and i said no due to my reasoning after thinking about it the weeks after i applied. I really did want to help this community but realized that there is no helping some of the people on this server and those were the people i would have had to deal with on a regular basis. I had asked to just help with forum and smaller stuff ingame and really didnt want to handle any of the raiding aspect of the game just due to having a bunch of friends that still raided and i didnt want to be put in a spot where my personal feelings could have a effect on the outcome of the decision. At the time it was kinda all or nothing though or thats what i was told. This was all during time when Eunomia and Deru were around as i had a friendly ingame relationship with both.

P99 has great support as long as it's not about raiding or red. All the raid scene issues are 100% player caused/driven, if you all grew up there wouldn't be a problem.

Isn't there a thread about a song to describe the raid scene? My pick would be Radiohead - Just, if only for the line "You do it to yourself, you do, And that's what really hurts"

red has good support for most issues

i've played there long enough to know

but wth is up with Discord

Saying "you have a choice" not to play is a fucking stupid argument. The staff has the choice to end this. An individual player does not have the choice of determining how other people play. A guild doesn't either. 3 guilds do not. Unless you get the entire raid population to agree not to do this (impossible) your only choice is to quit or do the same.

I believe the problem is practically every guide they have ever had has cheated the system in some way, whether it's logging in banned accounts to RMT, giving out variance timers, etc. So it's not so easy to just recruit 10 more unpaid guides.

What I wish the staff would do is make the classic FEEL an explicit goal, and make a few small mechanics compromises here and there for that. The whole bind sight tracking/FTE racing/4 AM batphone thing does not feel classic at all, because classic servers didn't have 1000 players at max level.
