My personal review of P99 Green: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

[Gugg]

I've yet to meet a Druid on P99 who didn't create a Druid just to port for plat.

On P99 the righteous Druid is nothing more than a money grabbing taxi (and money grabbing AC camper) being used to twink the character they really want to play which is either SK or Iksar Monk.

I felt the need to try P99 because I heard about it years ago in the news when Verant blessed it with protection.
I've also been looking to relive those days like other people have...the nostalgia....a time machine; official EQ is a barren wasteland in the newbie zones and it's no surprise because every new expansion hurts the original newbie zones and the Mines of Gloomingdeep doesn't help either. EQ is now in the hands of a gold digger and that needs to be fixed and P99 doesn't fix it.

Takp is that mid point. Definately at least humor that. Although all our communcommunities are static. You won't get much interaction if you don't work for it..

Our real world is collapsing in greed, catering to children and the brainwashed as if they're commodities. No commercial venture will produce anything like EQ 1 again. Not until people get past "stats", "raids", and "progression. And world, lore building becomes the focus, not locked behind AAs, and time gated content, and factions that are never KoS permanently. Without choice. On rails.

Give TakP a shot.

And continue to make posts and exploring what you want. Design it in your head and lay it out. Over and over until you can create and express even the meanest part.

Green is busy at the bottom, it's the biggest selling point. Not sure about the top.
EQ needs people and Green has that (at least for now) so enjoy it while it lasts but there's no room to grow at 60 and no way to level the playing field.
Green is full of greed.
I haven't tried blue. I've tried to log into it but it won't let me.

Busy is not the word I'd use. It's "busier" but when you Crushbone is empty 20/24 hours I wouldn't use the word "busy".

Fair comment honestly, lol. I think that's somewhat due to a druid's limitations in a group as well... they fall behind with healing, their nukes aren't great, their dots arent useful in a fast paced group, and while their DS is good... a mage adds more DPS in total.

You sound like a WoW player.

- There are bazaar characters in EC spamming and ripping people off that's why they take a while to answer when you send them a tell; real players answer right away and have reasonable prices.

If you're selling items at market value, it's likely going to take a while to find a buyer. So you send out your auction message, go do laundry, browse Reddit, etc., then come back in a few minutes. Staring at your screen the entire time you're in the tunnel is a good way to go crazy, and make 20 minutes feel like two hours. That's why it often takes time to respond, and has nothing to do with being a "real player" or not.

Just use the wtb/sell forum. Log out of your main and into your mule. Hook up. Back to main. Gg

One of the most efficient classes gets a bit more efficient by choose Iksar, that's it. It's not game breaking, nothing an Iksar necro could do that another race couldn't.

Raid's don't wipe cause the necro twitching a cleric wasn't a lizard.

Disclaimer: I can't back up that last statement, haven't raided since Planes of Power.

I used to raid where there was like one necro out of 50 ppl. Out of 6 clerics I didn't often get twitched unless the three og clerics with years raiding in the guild were dead.

I honestly don't think it matters what race/starting stats any one has.
