Well.. Leveling on Phinny has taken about equal time to leveling on P99 so far imo. Neither one was "hard" because I know the game inside and out and know where to go and when to go there and what classes I need to form good groups and such. I don't know what you're trying to prove here but its failing. There's no "hard work" involved its just a grind on both servers.

As far as instanced pixels meaning something. Do pixels only mean something in Swish's world if you stared at an empty room for 16 hours before killing the dragon that dropped them? Is that the only way they mean something? Sounds pretty dumb to me pal but to each their own I guess?

If you just joined us here on page 69, BDA are still saying how bad P99 is because they didn't get a Velious rotation. If you aren't into reading words, take a quick look at the gifs below for their thoughts.

Not to mention you do nothing but promote Red where pixels are basically just as free as they are on Phinny. There's only been 1 real raid guild on Red99 since day 1. Empire had 100% free reign on Velious pixels from the day Velious launched til the day they disbanded. How is that any different than instanced raids? Might as well have been right?

Do pixels on your favorite server mean nothing Swish?

If another guild were to rise up on red ( Tempest, current #1 guild) would help them, not grief them off, so yes come get your free pixels red is great no poop socking needed

It's a pvp server where there's pvp. I know that's what BDA hates more than anything else - not just losing, but getting killed by other players and not being able to circlejerk quite so fiercely.

One of the best things about leveling my cleric (2013) was, ironically...sitting in Naggy's lair for 16 hours waiting to hand the pearl in.

Not sure why you're quoting that Fieldfare, am I supposed to be embarrassed that I spent a lot of time on my epic?

Mistle · #**668** 05-23-2016, 06:24 PM

It says a lot that you AREN'T embarrassed by it, actually.

Epic quests aren't meant to be grinded/ground out with instances to help them along.

Late era SOE/Daybreak took people's nostalgia, screwed it up into a ball... then threw it back at them and gestured for your wallet. If Daybreak took P99's code and all the hard work that had gone into it, and launched a classic EQ server like we have here with no cash shop sign on it - maybe I'd take a look.

Til then, enjoy your watered down EQ, glad to hear you're having a great time. What's the BDA RMT bill so far? Spend wisely [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What instance zone on phinny do you think helps out on epics?

I'm glad you are enjoying Phinny – However you will quickly realize that instanced raiding is the single worst idea in the history of EQ – with so much raid loot available, it literally trivializes every single thing outside of a raid instance.

This is definitely true. I went down to the spore king with Sakuragi and I think I needed a complete heal every 5-10 minutes or so. I've pretty much decided that I'm not going to play him unless there are L60 NPCs involved - and Sakuragi is mostly just HOT geared. I can only imagine how boring it would be for a rampage MT like Mardur or Briefs.

That being said . . . poopsocking every single raid target for 0-16 hours is still worse.
