p1999 - punishing noobs

raptorak · #1 09-15-2011, 04:27 AM

Hi just like to say I think you have done a great job on the server although I have an issue with the removal of the map.

I have pretty much only just started up in p1999 and the map has of course just been removed. Now I have no idea where I am but I get it, that's classic. However, now that the majority of players are already high level, it seems to me they have had it easy, and anyone joining now is kinda screwed in comparison.

Anyway it kinda feels like the only people being affected by many of the classical changes are noobs like me who haven't played in nearly 10 years.

maps are still out there on the nets. just alt tab to check when you are in game.

besides that noobs arent punished at all at the current stage of the server..you get very good armor/weapons for cheap prices (if not for free)

map removal wasnt only for the classic feeling but also to make macroquest usage harder

so to sum it up: inb4 cry some moar!

This is retardation... The only zones that had in game maps were newb zones and cities. Sooo the high levels had what level 1-10 easier? Damn the injustice!

Oh yea and all of us EZMODE high lvl's used a thing called eqatlas.

Sorry I'm usually nice to newbs but come on... This really isn't worth complaining about.

I got lost in West Freeport for about five minutes the day after the maps were taken out.

WHY U SO CONFUSING, FREEPORT? Be more like Neriak.

yes, i used MQ back on live 10 years ago. i'm not scared to admit it, and i have no intentions of using it on p99. all those guys that defend MQ usage by saying it doesn't give you "god mode" are either doing it wrong or trying to make it sound like it's capable of doing less than it actually does.
