The great merge of 2020

[tommydgun]

I have to agree with loramin. This nonchalant attitude towards 70 hour camps is borderline mentally unstable. I managed to get a guise after camping for 16 hours on my day off and I was completely drained and I'm pretty sure it wasnt worth it. Proceeding like this for 54 more hours consecutive is not safe or healthy. I understand account sharing but then you are saying you HAVE to account share to get these items and that is also just stupid. Oh well. It is what it is I guess, but if you're willing to stay up for 70 hours to get legendary pixels in a 20 year old game on a private server then you might need to get evaluated by a professional.

I don't understand why comments like this are necessary. While I wouldn't personally do the camp for that long, why do you care so much if someone else does? Who gives a flying you know what if that's what someone wants to do, as stupid as it may be

I love how "just stay awake for 60+ hours" is thrown around like it's no big deal here ... as if it didn't require consuming an unhealthy amount of stimulants, or the sharing of one account between two people.

Not picking on you in particular Smelly, it's just ... the fact that this isn't like some crazy fact to everyone, that it's just no big deal in everyone's conversation ... that itself is a bit crazy to me.

P.S. I should note that making people stay awake to get precious loot has a long history on P99, going back to the earliest days of raiding:



Maybe that's why it's so blasé here?

I should say I meant the “60 hour” comment more as a tongue-in-cheek jest at the absurdity of it.

This was my comment from a separate list thread post-merger:

32.5hrs in between drops is absurd. And that’s been a great time??

My question though on the list is this: how is people sharing accounts necessarily hurting this process? If I were to wait 20 hrs and not get a manastone, I wouldn’t want that time to be completely wasted, so I might enlist the help of a friend. With the present system at least, the devs know it’s taking 32.5hrs between drops, so they have to have factored in that people would be sharing accounts. It’s completely unrealistic otherwise for someone to stay up for almost 3 days straight, so their system almost requires account sharing.
Even though guides will come on here saying “you shouldn’t share your account data,” what else did they expect when they made the drop rates this low? They asked for it.

I honestly can’t fathom having to sit at my computer for that many hours clicking an AFK box every 5-15 minutes. I’ve had to stay up for work in the past for multiple days, and it was draining as all hell, but at least I was up and moving around. I can’t think of anything worth doing that for in a video game. Perhaps I should be more sympathetic to the plight of those that do, but it’s for such a nonessential bit of pixels that it’s hard for me to rationally understand it.

We’re going to see something like this before long, especially with the merger increasing the times spent at these camps: https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/19/world...ath/index.html

Heh, we've already seen this (with a Red P99er):

https://fox40.com/2015/03/23/woman-h...l-mace-attack/

Sacramento County deputies responded to a bizarre and brutal attack ...

Investigators say a woman in her 50’s was walking her dog to her boyfriend’s house at 4:15 a.m. when she was attacked with a mace, a Medieval-style weapon with silver spikes ... Police arrested 34-year-old Travis Lanning ...

Photos on the suspect’s Facebook page posted in early March show him posing and smiling with a similar style silver mace. ... Lanning’s Facebook posts also indicate his interests in Everquest, a popular Medieval-style computer game.

But as crazy as Red makes people, that was the result of someone with a serious disorder having it triggered by his mother's death ... not Red [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just hope no one actually does anything nutty because they tried to /list for too long, because then it really will be, at least in some small way, on all of us.

You can still get them, just be prepared to wait 60+ hours.

Why exactly did you link a YouTube video of you fighting a spider for 15 minutes?

I reckon this is how my nephew feels when he sees his grandparents on facebook.

With all the talk about Seal Team being evil dictators, who would have thought it would be Black Lotus who turned out to be the true scum bags of the merger. And to think, I almost joined them.

I’ll take Comments out of Nowhere for $1000.

Storytime? Or random accusations?

Without any proof of said accusations it sounds like it's false and this person just wants to be flamer to try and attempt to put the heat on another guild. Whatever the case let's just take a moment to recall the FTE race for Naggy right after the merger and Rogean shouting at Seal Team for pulling some shady business. Just some food for thought before you go running good guilds through the mud. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is that info about “something for red server” still going to be a thing?
