Chardok exploitation hurting the spirit of the game

Look, mad respect to Nilbog and the p99 team, but let's not sit here and pretend that every change and update made over the years has been purely to make the game more classic. Rooted dragons are not classic. Lifetap nerf is not classic. Adding casting times to previously instant click items was not classic. "But people didn't use those strats on live!" Is not the same thing as "this was not possible to do on live." But hey, at least we can't see dot damage anymore, right?

I don’t see why csr / raid / clicky* driven non-classic changes mean we can’t embrace changes from non-classic to more / true classic.


*for the record I’m not personally a fan of nerfing lifetaps or clicky cast times / buy backs for the sake of influencing end game raiding, but it’s not my server to make that call.

I'm not arguing for or against those particular changes, but the fact that they were added fundamentally makes this a non classic server, so to turn around and act purist about things like dot damage and pet windows seems silly. It's always the changes that reduce QoL that seem to draw the most "too bad not classic, deal with it" responses.

Who pissed in your coffee?

You don't even play p99 anymore, do you? You're a forum poster, with no real knowledge of the server in it's current state.

So sit down, shut up and go back to your hole that you crawled out of.

Yeah, but maybe that's BECAUSE HE WORKS.

Wait. It's 2026. People still are working? Damn. Make some plans, jeez.

Let's not quarrel.

Serious question. What do any of us have that each of us don't have either figuratively or literally?
