P99 Classic vs Original Classic

I saw a lot of classic Everquest. I spent two years deep-diving into web archives, reading user stories and fishing out obscure facts to try to piece together a dead zone that only existed for 8 months.

Classic EQ was a period of time. And people miss that period of time more than the game itself. The game itself was half-finished, frustrating, grinding, buggy, chaotic, laggy, and full of assholes.

The retail vrsion still existing is miraculous considering the company profits from harming its own players, nowadays it's time thinking up destructive ways to make more money.

EQ players must enjoy being treated like door mats, or they have nothing else to do in life. or they are addicts, or they feel weak and EQ creates an illusion of power..

Either way they are being taken advantage of.

By deleting somebody elses stuff?

Yes, if that stuff doesn't belong. Or better yet you could replace what they wrote with more wiki-appropriate content that still conveys whatever information the original poster was trying to convey.

The ultimate goal is to make the wiki better for everyone; and if your edit will do that (even if it means removing something that doesn't belong) then you should make it.

EQ is a universe in which everybody in it is trying to speed up time (so it can't be that enjoyable can it?).

Everybody except the original dev that is, who is busy slowing everybody down.

Player - mob
Dev = shaman

Contributing to that wiki, any wiki, turns you into an unpaid employee of whoever it benefits the most.

They say the wiki benefits everybody but the best items listed are out of reach to most players and some items don't even drop anymore.

I think somebody is creating a little playground for themselves where they can pretend to be superior, but they need help to do it hence the "let's do this for everybody's benefit" lie.

The average player is there for ambience to give the illusion of success ("look at me i'm superior in a busy world" type of thing) and for taxi service.

The wiki is there to make it look more important too.

The wiki is a 3rd party script which speeds up the game.

MMO = IRC + MUD + RPG mutant

Did we gain a super addictive + derivative mutant product lacking some of the best qualities of its parents?

I'm waiting for somebody to emulate P99.

Contributions aren’t truly deleted, are they not? They just get archived into previous versions of a page?
