Ragefire v. p99, my review:

[Rararboker]

When I see people equate butter with unhealthy food I know they are very likely super unhealthy. Pretty much all I got from this thread.

[Rec]

I want to combine ragefire's UI with p99's classic that's worth keeping

Played on Ragefire over the weekend. Reinstalling P99 when I get home from work.

Things that kind of bothered me with Ragefire , but not enough to quit

- Raid bosses downed after a couple days
- Newer mob models
- multi-boxing mages
- overcrowded newbie zones
- queue times/not being able to play
- paying $15

The thing that made me decide to come back to P99 was when I zoned into Freeport. Only played through PoP so never saw the FP redesign. Totally killed my nostalgia buzz. Finding out that North Ro and Oasis of Marr were merged didn't help either.

No one in EC tunnel too (is there an auction house type system in place? didn't look into it too much).

[Weekapaug]

Tunnel is convoluted because of the instancing. People are using the main one but it's limited also because of the instancing. People seem to be using global auction channel and there is talk of moving to the north ro side of the tunnel because it's not instanced.

naturally within a week or so the selling of goods is going to take off as the relentless players get their mules and jc'ers set up. But how they gonna do the trades? Who will want to risk unnecessary zoning and the risk of getting disconnected? Is there a single zone that can handle all the people on this server who are going to be buying/selling as things evolve?

Can this game even *work* with 4k players on a server?

good lord what a fiasco they have created over there.

P99 gets a little iffy around 1700-2k area. I wonder if we could support 4k people?

I'd say the minimum for a 4k population is classic Kunark velious luclin and PoP. And that might still get congested a coupla years on

I had some friends throwing KRONOs at me to go to Ragefire. I'm not even going to give it a try because of boxing. My fav part of p1999 is the interaction with other people. I love joining a Kerns group and having random conversations with 5 other people. On live/Ragefire there are WAY to many people boxing accounts.

IMO this kills the MMO experience.
