Thumbs up

I am not *personally* a fan of the kind of situations OP described - However I am super happy that some places like this still exist this late on the Green99 timeline for those people who get some enjoyment out of PVE mob shortage drama and competing pullers.

This was so *intensely* common in popular dungeons on Live servers and was a large part of early Green99 dungeons as well; as many have said before: "Shit's Classic" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

De-leveling is unclassic on p99 yes? You don't keep your skills.

Or did that get fixed?

I remember being terrorized by not greatly geared characters.

You did originally keep your skills, I played on Vallon Zek (Teams PvP) back in the day and there was a deleveled Barbarian Rog who used to terrorize people in HighPass Hold.

Unrest again but this time I was a bystander.

Someone was in the hag tower for hours but someone else kept popping in and asking how long have they been there, how long will they be, etc. After awhile the pop-in guy started getting fly-over state single mom rude. You have been here for too long, you really should take a break, think about others (as long as it benefits me) when it comes to camps.

While not at the same time,

A couple of people were fighting over basement mobs. Player 1 thought Basement meant the whole thing even tho he could not handle the whole thing. But then a pair of people moved to Gara/tentacles. The ranger was doing everything he could to force them out, some rules, some made up rules, threatening server rep. Because we could hear most of this in /say we jumped in
"Why dont you guys get a room"
one of the duo replied, "we have a room"
random person in my group, "then decide who lucky pierre is and group up"
they grouped up and everybody clapped.
A good portion of the server is getting like that. The toxicity is so bad. Would like to know people's theories on why it's like this as this isn't how I remember it a year or two ago.

I can't believe no one came to the aid of that poor woman being mauled by a pack of wild dogs

perma timelocked servers are prolly a bad idea. if people are bored, live has a revamped kunark,velious, luclin that was actually worth resubbing for a month or two to go through the content. luckily i just did PUG 6man and didn't look for a guild for it.

Should keep skills for delevel. On classic pvp servers they capped you within 5 to stop delevel twinks destroying with lvl 60 skills.

Fresh servers, when? Just delete everything and start over.

sorry this isn't your third rodeo all ready, starting over doesn't improve the final destination. it is known.

Etherquest was always about the journey, not the destination.
