Hi

I'm pleased for the community generally, that there is a special event taking place. That it will give players the opportunity to do something different from a typical gaming session in the world of EQ.

Recognise, that a significant portion of the playerbase is in the American timezone band.

However, this event has done two things.
1 - server downtime to prepare, prime time playing for europe.
2 - event taking place well after midnight in europe, when most will be sleeping ( school or work next day.. )

... so europe timezone players lose out on regular gaming for an evening and unable to take part in the event.

On the flip side though from the community view.
I noticed several guilds did their own events over the weekend. Dial-A-Port being one, that were giving items to low level characters in various starting zones. Along with quadrupling the normal player count in Crushbone for a while too.

All in all. You can't please everybody. I just hope those that are around, do take advantage of the hardwork that's gone in to make the project 99 event worthwhile. That europe (and other timezones) have suffered a downtime to make it available for you in your prime time play slots.

I think there is another screen I can look at now, think it's called.. television.
Enjoy Halloween all, wherever you are and the festivities it brings.
See you in game in November. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Correction:

"No one cares about anywhere except USA...."

I have long suffered patch's and extended downtimes in primary playtimes. The joys of not living in the US.

Hope you all enjoy this event [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Damn, this is a great quest/treasure hunt styled event! I really wish the event was left to run till tomorrow, there's no way I am going to be able to complete it. Such a late start, and aggro is hitting hard here at home.

Well, good luck to those who finish it, and I can't wait to hear what the ending has in store for you!

Thanks Braknar. It's apparent a lot of effort and work was put into it, I appreciate you and all your effort into giving the P99 community something fun to do on Halloween.

Very cool.

I'd just like to echo the thanks for all the hard work people put into this on their free time. It's never possible to make something perfect for everyone but you guys have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating something fun for the server, so thanks!
