Oh you guys and your silly weird pretend games.

Have you ever watched a movie in your life? Wherein you'll see many people who are paid to play a character? It's called acting. Some people find it fun and rewarding.

Such a thing was the norm during 1999 of Everquest.

Are you this insufferable in your everyday life? Here's some intelligent discourse for you : shut the fuck up

Why do some people feel the need on this forum to lower the level of the conversation to F this and F that.. Yes he might have used a mocking phrase or tone.. But either A) Dont Post (Nothing nice to say, then dont say anything at all), B) Ignore it or C) Actually come up with a decent retort.

Not the usual attitude I see coming from a Divinity member, but nevertheless you cannot attack people outside RnF.

Heh - hope Fromage didnt intend to quote Snorlak and instead quoted Zuranthium by error, and got banned.

Your posts are getting creepy. This is your 2nd or 3rd post now already about this? Do you think it's news that this is a pretend game? Hello? RPGs have their roots in Pen & Paper and fantasy fiction. The people that play these like to be in the imagined worlds. If it's not your piece of pie, stay out of it.

I love being able to play in these old zones and spend hours grinding for gear, and equipment, and having fun making friends while grouping. I also love how friendly almost everyone is. Hell I was in a group the other day where an Oger got an upgrade for his armor and passed off his old armor to me because it was much better than what I had on.

I found myself after a night of camping Scryer with a Wiz friend with no pop, and then killing him several times the next day without said friend and saving every drop I won the rolls on for my friend, and asked for nothing in return. Hell I haven't done something like that in years.

Of all the things I love about this place and this community it does have things I dislike. I dislike some of the elitest attitudes you see at low levels. Example, Pre 20 when there is still caps on what you can do. And people yelling at you for not being twinked out. (Sorry I prefer to quest/grind for my gear, and from playing on a red server in live for so long still partially have the mentality of no-drop = best)

And there are things I wish we had. Like a role playing rule-set. Learning languages to communicate within a group was always fun to me. Like getting the Troll one day in your group of friends, and for half the night no one knows what he is saying, but he knows his job and he does it well, and you have no idea if he can understand your praise.

But all in all this game is a great experience, and I love it, and I want to say Keep up the good work I look forward to what is to come.

Ignore the haters and welcome to the server. Most of the people in-game aren't messed up.

Zuranthium · #19 06-05-2011, 01:53 PM

LOL, did he really just get banned? Anyway...if I used a mocking tone it was because Snorlax tried to liken roleplaying/acting to being mentally ill. I can't deal with that much ignorance.

Welcome to the server! I agree that the experience on this server contains pretty much all that I loved from the old days. Before P99 came along, I'd find myself often thinking back to the days when EQ was new and of all the sights, sounds and experiences and wished that I could relive them. I had always hoped that Sony would throw up a classic server (real classic) but quickly learned that this would never happen. I was always reluctant to try the EMU servers as I always assumed that they would be crude knockoffs and lack the challenges of the original classic worlds. The day I decided to try P99 was a great experience. I was thrilled to see Qeynos once again as I remembered it; full of young adventurers struggling in their battles against the numerous bats, gnolls, fire beetles and skeletons.

I have never run into this issue with my untwinked characters. I think you ran into some of the miscreants who only care about themselves and leveling as fast as they can. As in life, the server has some folks who care only about themselves and are happy to put others down. Learn who they are and avoid them. I guess the good news is that they will quickly out-level you so that you'll not be grouping with them much more. I've grouped with some heavily twinked characters and they have never complained about my crap gear and I always appreciated the help they brought with their better gear and never bitched about how they had better equipment etc. I actually often like to play with people who are obviously twinked because it often means that they know what they are doing as they most likely have played a long time. Having said that, I also have a great appreciation playing with people new to the game as I truly love helping them learn a new area etc.

So, welcome once again to the server! I know you'll have a lot of fun.
