I could link to a thread from 2013 on project 1999's own official forums right here to finalize and illustrate but I'm a nice guy. Shout out to Tiggles [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] huh?

Secrets you still owe me a Krono bro, Palmer sits at his mailbox waiting for the day it comes in and I don't have the heart to break the news to him. Poor little conjy.

Trying to fight GG's meltdown is like pissing into the wind. People are going to talk about it and I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about that. At a certain point we are all going to have to realize that we are playing a 16 year old elf sim and then go spend some time in the real world for some perspective.

Hi folks,

I just wanted to take a moment to say something very important. There's been a ton of drama, ex-staff members fighting, current staff members fighting, and other nonsense going on. I'd like to share my take on this.

Little backstory for those who don't know me: I'm Secrets. I develop client fixes, have consulted with Nilbog for help with content, and for a brief stint of time, I was a guide, GM, whatever you to call the CSR position.

Lately, Braknar and Greengrocer did something that I did about 4 years back: They tried to attack players, staff members, and staff members on a personal level for what they thought was the 'good' of the server. I am ashamed to admit at one point in my life I thought these actions were 'for justice'. But the only justice I performed was a self-righteous crusade laced with revenge fueled intentions.

Here's the bitter reality: You're affecting real people when you do these kinds of acts. Not even the 'doxing' stuff; I meant the emotional and physical impact of these actions are in detriment to the server's health and the people behind them. Not just the staff, but the players too.

I learned something by going on one of these 'crusades' and it was the most important thing of all: Integrity is key and if you violate those rules of integrity, you are doomed to become what you hate and you will dig a hole that is hard to get out of on a personal and external level.

This is why Rogean and Nilbog are doing a great job as leaders. It is better for them to say nothing at all than to pander to the community at large. They do not get involved to save their sanity. Not everything needs a statement from 'dear leader' even if they want it. Involving yourself only stresses you and doesn't stop the people that you are trying to stop.

Plus, being less vocal shrouds the staff in secrecy so malicious players and ex-staff have less of a voice so you may continue providing what the average player wants; in this case, Classic EverQuest.

When you use malicious communication - whether it be releasing private information, an insult, or manipulation - you do not achieve the ultimate goal you are trying to do, unless your goal is destruction to begin with.

If you want to see something happen - for example, changes in Project 1999's staff - you should learn to make your own Project 1999 and make it better so you can recreate the project in your image. Trying to destroy something you wish to save (such as Classic EverQuest) can only result in more destruction, as you are acting out of vengeance instead of righteousness.

I understand the legitimate concerns of the various scandals that took place on P99 recently. Between dsetup.dll, Greengrocer outing Derubael and various information on the staff's methods, and the personal information being flung back and forth, there is a lot of concern about security, and a lot of questions about integrity.

If you think you can do the job better than the staff while keeping the spirit of Classic EQ alive, then do it with full integrity and show that you can do it better. Otherwise, continue to enjoy Project 1999 for what it is: Classic EverQuest.

/RNF off

Hello & thank you for all your work, effort & kindness throughout the years on your own & other emu servers. I did log into your server many many moons ago also some years back when I just emu surfed for a day, week, month & moved on to another to check things out. TBH, I originally avoided p99, but after years of playing the others, I gave in. Respectfully, I really cannot comment on much else since I do not know any of you ( or do I? lol). Aside from thanking everyone for being a apart of what I think is one of the greatest games ever made, I too would enjoy seeing more open raids, friendly interactions & just all over fun for everyone.

we now return u to RNF "the early years"

you guys think deru paid his taxes on that income?

I don't understand how GM drama/mistakes/ bad calls / favoritism always makes to back to the community. .. If the Gm/guides would just shut the fuck up there would be no harm no foul.Rogean , Nilbog , Sirken has learned that and that's why they will always be around until THEY choose not to be.

People forget themselves or get caught up to much with their feelings that they lose control and do more harm than good. That's what I've seen of recent.

As for blue and the so called problems? There is no problems. I see a healthy environment with people using RnF like it should be.

99% of RnF is not serious. Yes, there is are exceptions.

Nope. No problems. No problems at all.
