And you changed the first section to play it off as if it was yours originally but then missed the BFA race to 120 later in the post... I guess being funny with someone else’s material is important to you.

Yeah, you got the wrong guy. I didn't post it.

nothing about the manastone camp is meant to be healthy, and during classic people didnt camp things like this

people are different now, hell with dial up you couldnt even stay connected for a whole hour they would dump you after 20 mins

Why is this about health? If you're dying of hunger or lack of sleep due to camping a manastone in Everquest in the year 2019 that's just good old natural selection.

Sometimes you need to see/understand the bigger picture. If someone were to die.. we don't just get to sit around and go:

"lol natrual selection bro heuhueheuheuehue"

It will bring bad press to Daybreak and P99... there will be consequences. Maybe even a lawsuit - not saying they would win - but the point is it would bring unwanted exposure to p99.


The /list system is new and unique to p99 - its a staff created rule.. and it alone is already influencing player behavior to camp 40+ hours... or feel "pot commited" when they are in #1 position. If the end result of that is someone dying... that will be bad over all for the p99 community.


I'm just here to document so if it does happen no one can say "who knew... we had no idea something bad could happen..."

As someone who works in a law-firm. Any lawsuit about a person voluntarily sitting in front of their computer for a reward in a video game would be thrown out faster than your garbage on garbage day.

The fact you even responded to my sarcastic reply about this stupidity makes me really scared about the people that play this game.

Thank you for debunking this. It sounded incredibly stupid and illogical but I don’t have the knowledge to shoot it down myself.

We throwing out lootboxes being predatory also then? Just trying to draw the line of when an operator has to take some amount of responsibility for developing unhealthy or additive systems.

Just playing devil's advocate, but in defense of the poster, while a lawsuit would rightfully be thrown out of court, the media would probably have a field day with such a story. The love a controversy, no matter how absurd.

Corporate culture being what it is, I could see Daybreak doing something in response, too.

Someone would probably have to die to get that kind of attention though, for an old game that's now very niche like EQ though. Not very likely.

100% agree with this post.. i even said my legal post they may not win...

its the optics.. Also p99 operates with some type of permission from Daybreak.. I would imagine that its not some verbal approval.. there would typically be a clause that ensures they don't do something to disparage everquest...
