That was a long time ago. Memories vary wildly... I distinctly remember camps, of course. I also remember always having a HT up to outburst the occasional intrepid person showing up to nail a named as it would pop.

But a constant "competition" for mobs via doing more damage was more of an outlier, at least on Veeshan (the greatest server). Both camps and DPS-racing bring out the worst in people, but that is just the way this game works until they made most named mobs trivial due to easy to achieve upgrades in low/mid-tier raiding (especially with PoP and level cap increase to 65).

if you feel so strongly about this view of yours.

then take it to bug forum and post all your proof and data.

post walls of text in this forum those not get you heard to change new server direction but just maybe you will get a response from someone that matters there

With respect

There's no 1999 era server in existence on P99 right now, and no official announcement of what the new server will have exactly, so therefore these things can not be posted in the Bug forum right now. The devs read other sections of the forum, however.

You don't understand the subject, nor the history of the game. P99 explicitly states they are trying to recreate the game, as it existed back then. Try again (actually, don't, as it wastes forum space).

Man, the eye roller deserves the eye rolls here! The people behind Project 199 are very explicitly NOT trying:

... and there is a wealth of evidence demonstrating as much.

From FTE announcements to OOT boat directions to (not) crossing Siren's Grotto via a glitch, this server is full of things which are intentionally not the way they were back in '99-'01.

In general of course R&N do try to make most things like they were "back in the day", but time after time they've demonstrated that when it comes to making things work on Project 1999 they're not wiling to diverge from. (And again, it's 100% unavoidable that P99 and live will be apples and oranges on some things, due to factors like increased player knowledge, so anyone in R&N's shoes would have the same issues).

In your denial/fantasy world maybe Rogean and Nilbog want to create exactly what existed back then, including the lack of a PnP. But in reality no one but you feels that way.

That's Zura in a nutshell.

The pnp argument is very silly, but I'd definitely like to see a "no rules" version of p99.
