P99 green launch permanently killed my enthusiasm for everquest

[Nirgon]

OP never had any real enthusiasm for classic everquest

Just ezmode overfarmed p99 boxes with 100x longer xpac timelines

I really enjoyed the list camp for the mask. It meant I could eventually get it without having to deal with drama.

Yeah It's definatly about who can amass the most plat no doubt about it.
Guess it was always that way, just now its everyone doing it .

Anyone else try Mischief's server launch. I paid the 15 bucks and basically made 10 characters but couldn't will myself to play them. I liked the idea of random rare and raid loot but Live is still not making an attempt to give a classic experience which turns me off and when I found out it was only going to be in classic for a month that killed all my enthusiasm entirely. I only found out about the server on launch day so I was going in semi blind. I decided I'd rather play the exact same character on P99 then Live. So that ended that.

The awesome people in my guild and the friends I made on P99 have made it worth playing.

If you ONLY focus on the numerous dirtbags, elf lawyers, and neckbeards on the server, OR unrealistically expect a pure classic experience then of course your enthusiasm for the game will wane.

True. Nothing will ever be truly Classic because of all the knowledge and tools we have today. Short of giving us all lobotomies, it just can't happen.

It is classic enough for me though. Seeing people in most zones at most hours, people caring about the old world factions and such (I feel accomplished just being a human in Grobb), gives me enough of that nostalgia trip I remember from the actual year 1999.

Delete red, and bring back teal ffs.

How about merge everything into RED and turn on the PVP... at least Blue for starters? Grow a pair and PVP for your camps for a change.

I've lurked around this project for a while now, and time after time I see god awful phrases like "rule etiquette", "camp disputes" and "elf lawyers". Is this how you nerds envision reliving the nostalgia of Classic EverQuest? Sitting on lists? Zerging bosses down the instant they spawn with 0 risk? /sigh

History repeats itself with every fresh server launch... since forever. Doesn't matter the MMO...the same thing happens. The tryhards and neckbeards RACE to the top...get bored, get sad, and burn themselves out.

Every EQ problem can be solved via PVP. Even boredom. Think on that for a moment.

Repent your bluebie sins...join RED today, and kill somebody for once. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's been fun so far. My Druid just hit 46 for planar raids tonight. It'll be fun to experience EQ during POP again, if nothing else, and the randomized-loot-drops alongside basically EVERYTHING being stoppable means that it's very very easy to get geared up.

It'll be fun levelling a melee alt with NTOV gear during Velious.

Memory is a bit hazy. I want to say she was some kind of anthropology student on a research trip to Africa possibly? This is her, and there are some other pictures of her topless with tribal folk that went viral. She was of course doxxed and it was found she apparently did weird torture porn, and my avatar is from one of those videos. I think. Could be completely wrong about all of that. Have fun going down this rabbit hole.
