What Ruined P99

Maybe if the community wasn't expected to deal with issues they don't have the means to resolve in a reasonable way it would be better?

On live solutions were implemented to prevent the kind of poopsocking / rotation / FTE-bullshit we see here.

P1999 basically hands a starving village half a chicken and is like "welp divide it up fairly guys", followed by amazement that people get their heads smashed with rocks over half a dried out leg.

Pretty funny and accurate analogy. I chose to be a vegetarian and don't participate much on the raid scene. Having a wonderful p99 experience with that!

This is great...made me laugh. Oldschool raid mechanics work really well in EQ provided there are not 10 competing guilds that have been playing for 7 years with no new expansions and mob spawn rates are not adjusted to compensate. Its torture to raid on this server at all, and if you enjoy it there is probably something in you that makes you need psychiatric help. If a new server were to launch today on a classic timeline they would probably be finally done with velious patches by the time the server caught up to this one.

Always found it amusing how so many things change because it wasn't classic..then things are changed that wasn't classic...just because it improved gameplay.

For some reason, on a free to play server, players are continually denied the enjoyment of the legacy experience because to change it would not be classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Going to go out on a limb here and say the raid scene might have been better if certain guilds didn't abuse the Kunark rotation the way they did. Oh well though, guess we can't have nice things.

No Bush Tower option so unable to vote =(

However these are my main problems with P99

1) Multiquesting

2) Chardok puppy mill churning out inordinate amounts of level 60 characters

3) No forced rotation for non epic weapon raid targets

4) No custom 'classic' content after 7 years of existence

Can't agree with you more about chardok. I think the number of people who are 60 who don't deserve it is astronomical. While the aoe change fixed it. I doubt the damage done will ever be reversed. I do miss pulling korocust in their aoe pulls xD.

if we're talking red, the answer is drugs

If we're talking red, it's a shitty implementation plan, lack of support staff, and corrupt GM's that have been outted and fired
