The least classic thing about p99

[d3r14k]

I thought Dino said 20pp AN HOUR at first and was immediately thinking of ways to exploit his time. These below rates seem pretty good for in era 1999 industry standard. They make 20pp a minute seem reasonable.

It's Jedi lines only for me, kiddos.

... How did I get like this? I didn't used to be this way. I was a respectable wood elf once.

Yea I'd rather go more for upscale/exclusive. After getting a taste of Sirken, I'm aiming more for the 1% of neckbeards. It's the Rustle way - work smarter not harder.

I'd have a cigarette hanging out of my mouth, with faded tattoos on my tits, and I'd have to rail a few lines of roxies before and after we cybered.

Then I'd ask you to call a Dial-A-Port for me and have them drop me off at Waffle House behind Kaladim.

I'd say the least classic thing is the community. 20 years of internet have spoiled everyone using it. In 1999, ppl respected each other and treated each other like they would in real life. 20 years of online anonymity have turned majority of internet users into selfish, pixel-obessed fucktards.

Nah. It's more prevalent now, what with all the youngsters grew up anonymously online, first as EQ gained popularity and then the huge crush who jumped aboard the WoWwagon. But UO had a fair few selfish fucktards before EQ even entered beta. The seeds were always there, waiting for the fertilizer.

There's the understatement of the day. Ultima was a haven for little psychopaths-in-training. It remains one of the absolute worst communities I've ever seen in an online game. EQ was a safe haven in comparison, which probably accounted for much of its relative popularity.

I'd say there's a few other reasons too.

One, that as players have figured out EQ more they don't need to get along with others quite as much as back then. It's easier to small group or solo these days especially with gear inflation.

Two, that the very high population of P99 leads to a much more cutthroat environment of competition. Not just raiding but all camps/spawns. I'd favor a softer ruleset but it'd be hard to enforce fairly in practice.

Population is fine. It just shouldn’t be all 60s. 8 years, far far far longer than these expansions were intended to last in a mmo with a poorly designed economy doesn’t help matters. Although, I hope this helps.
