I don't think it's even possible to save P99 at this point. Most of the time I just log in and grind for 6 hours before logging off exhausted. There's not much else to do. Sadly.

Everquest's lvl 1-10 mini-game is nearly perfect for every race/class.

All this talk about saving p99, is directed at a misguided gamer, the legendary eq player, who for decades has been playing this game all wrong, and refusing to recognize they are doing so. The result is what we have: a dwindling battalion of meta-gamers.

Take your meta-game, and go outside with a can of lighter fluid, and burn it.

Or don't!

I'll be running to the guards in Nektulos. Immersed.

Getting banned does suggest an inability to control oneself. That's one of Cicero's 4 cardinal virtues, self-control.

I guess you could argue, getting banned on an elf forum hardly merits the invocation of a cardinal virtue and in any event, maybe getting banned was self-control, to them.

Courage, another of Cicero's Core 4, might seem to allow it. But justice is a third of his 4, and justice is rendering to each what is due. Certainly, some restraint in a public elf forum is not unreasonable, nor unjust.

If self-control stands alongside justice, I do not think courage would be so foolhardy to issue veto against them. Wisdom, the final of Cicero's virtues, is the knowledge of what to defend, what to attack, and what to treat with indifference, and there too, getting banned seems to have little purchase.

We might be dealing with a person who does not pass muster at a moral level, possessing none of the sweetness that excellence in virtue brings to one's character.

I don't think getting banned from a website says much about a person's self-control or lack thereof.

Especially in 2025.

I am extraordinarily proud to be banned from the Fires of Heaven community. They're a rathole of freakin Nazi's.

Every state that collapses first loses its ability to agree with its own "known" history. I put known in quotation marks because this is how totalitarian states collapse, too. It does not matter whether the "known history" is true or is a lie; what matters is that the state can't agree on what it is.

Humans, for their part, are mostly indifferent to truth and falsehood. In each generation, groups form and recognizable primate social patterns. Truth, is one group's interest. In America we are in one of our phases where the truth group are being crushed by the other groups that are tired of how fucking tedious the truth is.

And, the truth also does not give a flying fuck what you think. That upsets a lot of conservatives, who cling to beliefs more than testable maxims. That's the definition of conservtism in America: "values voters."

Not truth!

Half of America has been pissed ever since the Scopes Trial. So I think I am claiming, the US is in a perpetual state of collapse.

That's what originally drew me to play an enchanter.
