This is probably the worst feeling I ever have when playing p99 blue. I'll never get a DE mask for my Blank.

Kunark has been out for 6 years. Assuming myconid spore king has a 3% spawn chance on a 27 minute repop timer and has been killed instantly over the last 6 years we're looking at a total of 3500 myconid spore king spawns. If the fungi tunic drops 50% of the time we're looking at 1750 fungi tunics dropped over the last 6 years. So we are no where NEAR one for every player let alone ever character on the server. And considering a good portion of them have been removed due to inactive accounts, banned accounts, or what have you we're looking at probably around 1000 total fungi tunics on the server. Of course this number is constantly increasing as king is generally perma-camped.

If something is done to upset the economy the tunnel fat cats will be on here whining in droves.

If this were my server I'd occasionally run around the server finding people who had just recently created an account and made a new character and just dump a pile of money on them. I don't know how their connection monitoring utilities work but I'm sure they'd be able to find people that had most recently logged in for the first time. I think that would be fun to watch this guy completely new to the server go to the tunnel and buy all the cool things they've always wanted for their new character.

Also the best thing they could do for this server would be to reset sleeper so other people could have an opportunity to see sleeper's tomb the way it was before sleeper's slumber was interrupted. And it would allow other people access to some of the best and most rare items in the game.

I never played classic everquest, but from what I've read didn't GMs make up their own events occasionally? so isn't the concept itself "classic" in a way even though it's not an event that was specifically done during that era

This is true, but "classic" GM events typically involved a GM logging in as some mob you would never otherwise see (eg. the Avatar of Love) and running around giving weird illusion buffs and no rent items. Well that or them just logging in as some hard mob and running around killing lower level characters until enough high level ones showed up to take them on [You must be logged in to view images.

Occasionally a player or two might get rewarded with a guise or something during an event, but they were never anything like the casino system being described here. That did come to live (as has been mentioned), but after the "classic" time period.

Yea... This is only a GM event idea, not like a permanent thing some folks were mentioning.

Imagine the Bracknar Halloween event but with item hunts for combine and paying for the combine tome is all.

Well I'm certainly not against GM events (even if they are different from the ones on live).

Honestly I wish we had events of any type here. I've never seen a single one in P99, but on live even the stupid ones were a big occasion for everybody. When something dynamic happens in a static world it's just inherently fun (even when that something is you getting killed by Cazic Thule when he magically appears in East Commonlands).

Um DEPT OF FUN. We do stuff all the time as much as we can.

As far as GM events you get one maybe 2 a year. It's volunteer work what do you expect.
