I can buy fungi from casual player instead of choosing to reward the childish, selfish scum minority.

Take <Good Guys> (lol?) for example...I zone into Kael only to find them training a raid mob to zone which kills me in one hit. I lose L40 and they don't say sorry or even rez me. The clerics have rez sticks too. I guess it's not min/max to clean up after yourself, onto the next target like football hoolligans. I heard P99 GM is in that guild too. Is that true?

Never seen them buff newbies either.

And you want me to reward that kind of behaviour by buying 0 regen BP from them?

I don't think so.

Don't play eq expecting high level loot or respect from the OG guilds.

Play like you're going to solo in lvl 30 rags to 60 and be invisible to the drug addicts.

When it comes right down to it. Polar bear wins.

No FSI:

A mob claws YOU for 54 points of damage

You have lost total control of your character...be evil to remove this annoying debuff

A mob claws YOU for 19 points of damage

You have lost total control of your character...be evil to remove this annoying debuff

A mob claws YOU for 39 points of damage

You have lost total control of your character...be evil to remove this annoying debuff

Barbarians look ugly, they have strange proportions and tiny shoulders.

I think Ogres look better, and that is the beauty of fashionquest. It is subjective. FSI is a nice bonus too!

From a Game Design standpoint there was a purposeful bias when the original game (before expansions) was created.

The idea was that the good races have an easier time. They have more merchants, more class diversity, better starting faction in general, and it was easier to find players to group with. These were the advantages given to them.

Evil races were a little more solitary because they are evil, and evil people don't get along as well. Less class diversity and evil cities being farther apart meant you were more likely to solo, or make a less than optimal group. You also needed to run farther to find merchants. The raw statistical advantages of higher stats and better racial bonuses were given to the evil races to balance out the advantages given to the good races.

Unfortunately they didn't keep this design moving forward into Kunark, Velious, and beyond.

The result is Trolls/Ogres have a raw statistical advantage, while the good races basically lost most of their advantage. 20+ years of game knowledge allows evil races to do just fine in terms of finding players, merchants, ports, etc.

The problem with P99 server is that you can't improve yourself beyond the basic annoying stuff.

You'll always fizzle no matter what and Rangers will always be crap.

When you ding 60 and get the raid loot, if you get that opportunity that is, you've got nothing to use the raid loot on.

No beastlords either. Ever.

Sadly, live EQ should be the answer but it isn't not yet anyway.

If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna buy EQ and create an official custom classic server which goes a step or 2 beyond Velious and it will be 100% free to play on forever.

Don't forget that evil races have more lucrative camps than good races...treants for example...and there's unfixed bugs which allow evil to get around faction issues like Iksars banking in FP.

Don't forget we also live in an evil world so everything will have an evil bias...don't believe me? Watch the news for an hour every night and tell me what you're seeing and hearing is positive.

I get it that team good groups and team evil soloes but in an evil world people don't wanna group they'd much rather solo.
