RecondoJoe on your ban evasion account: Your small group isn't the reason SOE added this feature to the game lol. Not only were you not the only people doing this, but the main reason it was added was quite literally QOL for players lol.

The way this guy's mind works is boggling haha

I could actually name a lot of other messed up things I did over the years, but I think people forget that people weren't as friendly on EQ in 1999-2003'ish. The game actually felt more like PVP than modern WoW does since groups were constantly fighting over content. I don't remember high level characters doing drive-by buffs, or giving lowbies free items etc. like they do on P99. I think the more hostile environment made us more callous towards other players because odds are most of us had been regularly trained, KS'd, player hated on etc.

That is a totally opposite experience to the one I had playing EQ during that time. My experience was that people were overall helpful and friendly, with only the occasional encounter with a dickhead.

Yup. Maybe not giving away free items as much, but that's because the servers weren't mudflated yet.

People were very helpful overall. And RecondoJoe always makes these statements that there was mass griefing everywhere, which wasn't the case in my experience whether as a player or as CSR in era.

What I did is in my sig. Back before there were raid chats, and if a raid was made up of non-guildies, people would use /shout for raid instructions.

During the early first Trakanon kills, I /shout WAVE ONE GO GO GO

And they apparently went. I was in disco grinding.

Well, from the sound of it there was griefing everywhere he went ... because he was doing the griefing [You must be logged in to view images.

I think this was even more true for the PvPers; a griefer I knew (IRL) would use any exploit he could to get a kill on whichever Zek he played on (I forget which, but I want to say Rallos?). However, on the "Blue" servers, the troublemakers usually got put in their place by the GMs before bothering folks too much.

When my server was down I made a new char on other servers and pulled Rinna the GM cleric to Nro. Killing all the evil mules in EC when she pathed back. stupid but fun times

I once joined Drelzna group in Najena, basically no chance of getting Jboots 6th in line.
Then right before D died she stunned me and I was spinning so I tried to counterspin and clicked the corpse, which had J boots on it. Quickly realized this was my only shot and bagged em, quickly departed afterwards.
Ran around in butcherblock like a king spamming my new boots then logged out.
Came back to read a patch note:
A loot notice had been implemented so group could see everything that was looted and Jboots was now a quest.
That and just an ungodly amount of kill stealing, usually from whole groups until they changed that too. The power of Wizards were clearly too much for 14 year old me....
