Is the fun slippping away?

[fadetree]

Fah-det-ree, actually. And yeah, it was rude, but this thread irritated me.

[skarlorn]

you are only posting here because the fun of red slipped away long ago.

[fadetree]

lol

Well, I don't feel so horribly embarrassed now. I was pretty close....probably just sounded a little retarded.

Anyway, still hav in' fun OP (and I'm not even able to play right now! D: )


(^ 。~)v



*EDIT* try whacking yourself in th head with a big rock a few time (not too hard!). In elfsim (and in life too!) fun and seriousness are liek inversely proportional; more serious = less fun. Just how it works.

I remember recieveing a random tell on my level 52 shaman, shortly after velious came out, asking if still needed the tear from plane of fear for my epic. When I replied with yes, I was invited along on another guilds raid JUST so that the tear would go to someone who needed it if it dropped. As there shamans online all had it already apparently. There was no thought of saving it to sell as an MQ. Just /who all shaman 50-60, and invites to the raid as a tag along.

Yes, lots of things just like the guy quoted above is talking about have happened on P99. Lots of times. P99 is not any worse or better than any live server I ever played on in that regard. Maybe better, in fact. People just remember the bad stuff, and they get together on the internet to complain, so all you ever see is complaints and that makes you think that it's a shit show when it's not. It's like watching the news; they concentrate the bad stuff and mostly ignore the good stuff because it doesn't sell. In a similar fashion, an outrage thread gets lots more attention than a 'hey this guy helped me' thread does.

This is well said and I agree with you about the state of the server being "not any worse or better than any live server I ever played on" in almost all regards.

I do think that the "high end raiding game" is, in reality, a shit show on p99 though. Then again, it was on live also---there were just much fewer people experiencing it at the time.

Eh, watched some twink in my group with 300k in gear deny "need" to some newb wearing leather, over a 200pp item.

Fuck people on this server sometimes.

Since there really isn't anything to do with all the pp and gear drops, I can only assume that most of this has to do with RMT

[fadetree]

Ok you're right, because you saw somebody do something bad, it clearly means that whole server sucks.

[renordw]

Jesus. Christ. I probably won't ever log in again after reading that. What a mess.

Just want to point out that people who are overly serious in all likelihood secretly hate fun because it does them so they want to destroy it wherever they find itS I implore my fellow elf peoples to help these people learn to make fools of themselves :3 May have to push through a hedge of anger and bog or two of sorrow to get there, but rested assured, once one has sufficiently devalued themself, there ain't nothin to do butt laugh ^^
