The Event is too laggy for some of us

[korrowan]

I was not at this but mad props to the devs that pulled it off! Sounds like it was a bunch of fun. GM events were some of the best experiences I ever had in EQ back in the day.

[Slathar]

poof!

Lol Taluvill, who's this rogue for whom you worked so hard to get LR? Are you talking about what's his name, the drunk?

[Cheps]

Yeah I'm a bit pissed off myself. I'm a ranger from a raiding guild on this server, it was not easy at all to get my planar armor. And now some lvl 10 ranger could have LR armor? That's a bit too much. It's way better than my planar armor, still better than Kunark armor, most pieces are better than thurgadin armor, and some pieces are still better than kael/skyshrine armor (not joking there).

Now if there was only a few pieces that dropped, or if it was the result of a quest, some roleplaying, or whatever... but just mobs spawning in EC? I don't know how many pieces dropped but it seems like there were not rare at all?

I't s not a big deal and it won't ruin my fun, I'm just a bit pissed off.

First 4 mobs I killed dropped: LR Gaunts, LR Gaunts, LR Gaunts, LR Bracer....then some boots and helms too within a few more mobs. Each mob also dropped a piece of Cryosilk as well.

a big part of the game is "how much better geared am I than you?"

Sorry if the event made your e-penis just a tiny bit smaller.

*shrug* People play this game for different reasons, which I'm sure many of you can attribute to.

Maybe it's slaughtering the rat population in Qeynos to save the city from the rat-lord, or maybe it's to do Tunare's wishes. Maybe your some insane, yet super smooth rogue who just likes to train people and scream "ANARCHY! DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!" while you do it, just for the screenshots and the lulz.

Or, maybe your a raider who does it for fun, or better yet, to be the best you can possibly be. A lot of people want to be the top in their class here and now, because they couldn't do it in 1999. I know I couldn't, and although I'm not playing atm, I'm proud of my gear and the effort i've put into leveling/gearing Tal to be the best he can be.

The point is this: It's sad to see the best items on the server being somewhat trivialized by an event intended for newbs. Hand out some FBSS's, or some early Kunark drops or something. Not something that can potentially last you till Velious, even in that raiding guild.

Get over it dude, oh hey Qeynos has a rat problem that only an Oaken Schimitar (its crap) can handle bro. Get there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] hahahaha

QQ I want more events.

QQ That event wasn't good enough.

QQ There were too many people at the event and I couldn't handle the lag.

QQ The event had shitty drops.

QQ The event's drops were too good.

QQ (Insert anything we do).

Doesn't really matter what we do, the people who want to cry will find a contrary stance to cry from. If you don't like something, help make it better, if you can't be bothered to put forth that much effort here, try your own classic server. See how perfect you get it.

I always get this feeling that somehow when people start whining and complaining on here that GM's are gonna just take down the server and say screw you... please don't do that by the way!! Project 1999 owns all. I think the majority of people on this server would agree with me there.

On a related note, this is an emulated server and we should be doing nothing but thanking and praising the GM's for hosting any event at all. I was impressed to see the guards in some cities were now zombies, and the wolves had red eyes. That is more than I had first expected when joining an emulator, and to me felt really professional. I also enjoy the GM's zone stress tests and I'm glad to help out, even if I lag out. Helps them see how the server is holding up with changes.

Frankly (I wasn't on for the Halloween's event btw, so I got nothing) if you want to whine that someone got a rare item that no longer drops, and it makes you feel less awesome because your virtual item is somehow less cool, the server would be better without you. This place is about nostalgia and the pleasure of re-joining a world we thought lost, not about your personal measurements.

The GM's here are feeling the pains that GM's of other games feel because the community is getting larger and unfortunately that invites some idiots in. The rest of us should actively try to counter the idiocy, and show the GM's our deep support.
