Can anything be done about multiquesting?

I always find it funny when polls are made or threads are made about people complaining about MQ's but they never bother to do a search on Multi-Questing and see the post made by Rogean himself, about adding it to the system over six years ago...

http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17742

He wrote a template for it and the first thing he added it to was Hasten Bootstrutter for the Journeyman Boots quest. He even asked which quests or epics it should be implemented into.

Rogean does a lot

Six years ago. Back before you had a large number of 60's cockblocking almost every MQáble epic spawn and valuable MQ camp in the game.

Rogean also planned for a classic EQ experience, some of those classic mechanics didn't make it into the game making farming and cockblocking trivial.

Now the server has almost reached completion, the question is not what Rogean said 6 years ago but rather does he want it to remain the way it is, a massive cockblocking farm fest which benefits only a small % of the server population or something different?

Neither you or I can answer that one. All I want is a new green server (preferably with modified MQ code) but I'd settle just for a fresh server.

Either hardcore that shit or shut the fuck up. This game has never been about the casuals, and shouldn't be.

EQ is a fucking riot if you don't worry about stupid shit like the neckbeards do. If you can't camp something like Stormfeather by yourself for 18 hours, watching that stupid boat in the background that you want to believe is the stupid fucking bird, then you cannot hang with this game.

So, choose to ignore the noise and enjoy the game. It does not have to be a job. Maybe it was (for most of us) from 1999-2002 or so, but is that the reason you came back? To be a guild officer and field retarded entitlement complaints from assholes you did not know?

THIS IS WHY THINGS LIKE WoW HAPPENED.

The rot of self interest ravages the fair form of our dear Elfsim beneath the obscuring aegis of stupidity and faux equanimity. We might know but one salvation: violence. May the bright light of savagery burn rend the taint from our beloved Norrath!

May the Lords of the Staff lead our way in brutality. Let us fear one another's bloodied names as much as we fear the wrath of our Dear Sir Ken! Let us embrace true equanimity with adoption of uniform penalty: death and divestment! Let our Dear Lord Sir Ken mete bitter justice upon all transgressors alike with the redeeming Touch of Death! Let the corpses lay open in he Commonlands for all to know their shame and for the nooblets to share in their wealth. Let no item, no matter it's sacred nature, remain soul bound to such transgressors.

Savagery Save Us!!!

MQ is very classic and a lot of time was put in to make it work on P99. Either man up and put in the time to camp the item. Like everyone else does whether they sell it or not. Or buy the MQ. But stop with the tears. There are many mechanics on this server that are not classic and this ain't one

The game has always been about casuals. Casuals are what paid for wages and servers. That's why EQ died and casual games like WoW were born - basically developers saw that rewarding the 5% at the top and letting them screw the 95% who just wanted to have fun was a really bad idea.

So in a sense, if the 5% hadn't been selfish morons, not only consuming the highest content but farming and refusing to allow the other 95% of the population the content they themselves now found trivial everyone might have been happy and WoW might not have been as terribad as it was...

Good point. But this is free and essentially a non profit server. There is no base to cater to. Only a hobbyist attempt at creating a classic server. Just because 15 years of knowledge changes the dynamic doesnt give you a reason to cry. Literally everyquest short of Vp key, st key, and velious king quests can be done with a small amount of shit geared players. Kill the mob, buy the mq or stop bitching

Nilbog won't budge on MQ and even if he did you would eventually be here complaining that some quest item that your buddy needed rotted

You mean that one game from 2004 that's the #2 highest selling PC game of all time, and still the #1 mmorpg on the global market 12 years after its first release? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Don't get your panties in a knot. Free or not they've put a lot of work into it. I think its likely they'd like the server to be enjoyable for everybody. The original planes are nowhere near high end, they're for up and coming guilds to gear up so they can go on and do bigger and better things. Sitting your alts there and farming the minis and then charging half a million pp for items is a bitch act no matter how you look at it.

Items inflated that high with tactics like that are what leads to RMT, it leads to people quitting and the server getting a dirty name. It would take the average non-farmer around 1000 hours of playtime to afford half a million plat, if they played 2 hours per day and earned 500pp per hour that'd be around 2.5 years to save it.

If Rogean wants a server where nobody can accomplish anything without paying off some unemployed guy trying to make a buck then that's his choice but I doubt thats what he wants.
