Oh and the people who reference EQmac. I actually enjoy being able to see mobs lifetotals update in real time, accurate pathing, being able to go third person, no PoK (a zone which destroyed the game). The fact is that even at 331 ppl, thats still about triple the avg population of EQmac. Enjoy your stale, competitive-free raid community too where nothing is truly earned, but given. I'm sure its totally interesting.
The thing about this is, here on P99 they would remove those features if they could. The goal of P99 is to be 100% Classic (or that's the claim at least). That argument really only holds water if P99 were a "Semi-Classic" server that tries to emulate Classic content with a modern/Live client. It doesn't though, it simply has no real choice in regards to certain things.

I do agree though. Within five seconds of logging into EQMac i was disgusted by the fact that the client, when pressing 5 on the Numpad to center your vision, doesn't center vision but instead leaves you looking up by about 10 degress. I had completely forgotten the old clients did that back then and I hated it. I also disliked the inability to use the mouse wheel to scroll out and that you could only F9. It's annoying enough playing titanium where I don't have the option to hold down the left mouse button and circle around my character after wheeling out (a feature implemented in Seeds of Destruction), no mouse wheel at all was torturous. I have a habit of going into 3rd person when sitting in a camp for raids/groups or while running places. No idea why I just do lol. Also bothered me that /dopropertinting for Luclin models is broken on EQMac and ,with no devs on the project since 2004, it will never be fixed.

I do like EQMac though don't get me wrong, I play every once in awhile and it's fun to have that nostalgia. But I find myself playing P99 or Live much more. Though I think this stems from the fact that, I personally, think EQ's growth was odd. I preferred Classic content, but I prefer the clients as they are today. Basically as the content/expansions got shittier, the client and it's functionalities/UI got significantly better. I would kill for a Classic-Velious or Classic-Luclin server that allowed the use of the Veil of Alaris client. But again, that's just me.

EQmac has no mouse wheel zoom.

It has all the F9 angles and no ZOOMing. Server is a joke.


Also, Harrison is defending EQmac because he wanted(possibly did) go there and play with IB's crew.

Harrison also has his own agenda to see the members of DA and anyone they associate with burn. Mainly due to the fact someone in DA obviously hurt his feelings like 2 years ago or something, idk. He's definitely been crying about something someone did to him a long time ago.

As far as p99 goes, the server is fine aside for the slow endgame.

Again i've gotta say, there was a time when we were baffled and extremely content with a playerbase around 300. Some of the new players here are just whiny twats

I can't speak for Rogean, but I can confidently say I'm fucking sick of the attitude of the players recently. This thread included. It doesn't help anything. It doesn't help the server. Does it help you feel better? Fuck off.

I was up until like 1am last night finishing Kael. I wake up to read one message and it's this. Kanras and I both have been working on Velious for a while now. Do you know what it's like to spend free time working on something, FOR NOTHING?

Fuck off.

p.s. you won't be able to answer my questions because you're banned.
Thanks for all the hard work, Nilbog.

Remember that 99 % of the community is very happy with whatever you guys do, and know that you guys don't owe us anything. The vocal 1 % are just holding a grudge because they haven't always had their way with the server and the players and are just unhappy about the rough road that classic everquest can be.

As for you, OP, you never even killed a dragon in VP... How can you be done with kunark ?

I think most people are mad because end game content is being cock blocked.

So people hate EQMAC because it has a more classic client?!

So you don't want the server to grow? New people won't join if that's the way it is when they reach L60.
