P99 doesn't really make me happy. I've been listening to this woman on YouTube talk about cults for awhile, and I am considering whether or not guilds fit in the framework she lays out to meet her definition of a cult. I'm leaning towards yes. Basically high control groups centered around an idea or charismatic figure. Imagine a Shinko guild without Shinko. At best it's barely functional, but people who like Shinko like Shinko and that's enough glue to keep the barrel barge from sinking. I don't exactly thrive in those environments. I challenge dumb things and cults are about conformity. Not really trying to get back into one.

if you explained the application process to a guild like TMO 2.0 (or whatever era they finally let me in),
and the avg hours people track before burning out, i'm pretty sure it qualifies.

cult lite* maybe due to it being 100% transactional, but then i remember sticking up for what's his name behavior in RnF pretty hard.

so yeah

lol, I did the 1 character 1 account thing impulsively and when I got my wife to play I got an IP exemption easily, then I attempted to get another account linked to that exemption and was given an extremely rude and offputting response.

They act like what they do is so important and so mentally taxing, the real mental illness is still on p99 these devs are fuckin whack. It's almost as uncanny as Shovels admiration for thj devs

it's definitely possible that THJ's RMT lawsuit could bring about the end of all EQ emu's.

Private servers shouldn't exist at all imo. The fact people run entire MMO games while the IP holder is still operating is so deeply sketchy. There's been EQ, Lineage II, WoW private servers running for years and all those games still exist. Having a 3rd party make money off your product... seems insane that the whole concept hasn't been brutally shut down yet.
