I don't understand why someone would go out of their way to play on a classic EQ server and then also go out of their way to use this program on that server. Seems pretty self defeating.

You can't really be that binary in thinking, right? There are a lot of reasons to be here that have nothing to do with "classic."

Frankly, a log parsing mapper is no different than using a log parsing DPS calculator, which I was certainly using before Velious. They're both only doing calculations that we all do in our head outside of the game.

I voted "Don't really give a fuck" because honestly, if you don't like it, don't use it. Who gives a fuck if someone else is using it. Stop being dramatic about everything.

Please make this person president of the world. Smartest person on here. I can not believe there is another silly thread about this. Jesus people its just a damn game. A old as hell game at that. It not like kinda of knowing where crap is on a map is a real BIG secret.

P1999 is not classic or ever will be. 90% of everyone that plays on here knows every zone, every trick in the book for leveling, loot, etc. And 99% of everyone on here has 3 times better gear than they ever had on live. So piss on you if you don't like maps. Who cares. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think you're able to like a ton of things about Classic EQ, but not enjoy every aspect of it. If you think there's any alternative to playing classic EQ besides P99 either, you're straight up wrong. Every server that even comes close to upholding a classic theme is either underpopulated or underdeveloped or both. This is the only server that has a great population and development team.

However, some people really like maps. I can read a map just fine and open the P99 wiki for zones whenever I get lost/confused. All of my characters have max sense heading to make map reading easier, and I'm good at seeing landmarks on a map. Some individuals are awful at that, and I think that's why they decide to use an outside program.

p99 became popular in the first place because people wanted to play classic EQ. That's why I couldn't sign up fast enough when I first caught wind of its existence 4 years ago. Now at this point it seems a different group of people are attracted to it because its where the people are. Its where the party's at.

It's like back in my high school days how my friends would throw a party with tight music ( 70's funk, soul, classic rock, new york rap, some west coast rap), good liquor, good smoke, cool girls and just cool people in general. Eventually as the night went on word of our chill ass party would spread and the "WOOOOOO" kids would show up blasting gay ass raver music out of there cars and snorting lines of ADHD meds. They never brought girls with them of course because why would girls even want to hang out with them. Eventually a fight would break out because these two groups don't belong together. The only reason they showed up in the first place is because we created an awesome atmosphere. The woo kids wanted what we had but their very nature prevented them from maintaining it.

The same dynamic is at play here on p99. Some people showing up late to this party are either just cheapskates who don't want to pay for an MMO subscription or thrift store hipsters who see classic EQ as the vintage mmo to accessorize themselves with. Either way, "classic" is the only reason there is a party here in the first place. If you can't respect classic, the party is going to get lame real quick. "Whats the big deal? Get with the times. You're living in the past" is the argument I'm seeing. YEAH NO SHIT WE'RE LIVING IN THE PAST. PROJECT 1999.

Illegal/Unfair, breaks the spirit of classic. This is a gateway to other things, phone assisted auction tracker, phone based auctions making EC a thing of the past, phone based services (rez, port, clarity, ect). How soon will this app be used for tracking npcs and whatnot?

Gateway drugs

Next up heroine. Take away everyones iphones, no one had such easy access to timers, that shit aint fucking classic

Yes, which is why Derubael (who is on the same "team" as Nilbog) said it was perfectly ok, and why Nilbog himself even popped in to the thread (without ranting about people "taking a shit on his lawn").

But don't let that stop more "the sky is falling" posts about a silly log reader.
