Yes, I know what you mean and I agree 100%. Any argument that inserts the " this is a 10 year old game" shit is invalid. This is the mother of all games

The way I see it, real quantities of time are invested into this game.

So that's real and matters right? Many of us put more time into our chars than part time jobs.

I played a lot of games before it, and a lot of games after it.

For me, nothing touches EQ Classic, and P99 is the only place I play. I don't give a rat's a** what anyone thinks.

I think the voting options are biased anyway. Your options are either "yes this is serious i play hard" or "no this isn't serious i don't give a crap".

For me, i play pretty hard, i enjoy it, and my time is important. But i'm totally out of the whole drama/argument/bitching thing because i am very aware that we are playing on a 10 year old game. Something about that prevents me from getting bitchy about anything.

So you need an option "Yeah i care, but this IS a 10 y/o game, we could stand to take things a little less seriously." - which i believe is what most proponents of the 10 y/o argument mean.

Maybe it's just that you've misunderstood their intent that you dislike it so much, cos i've used this phrase in cases of extreme drama, and all i mean is - hey, calm down a little, this isn't life or death. We play ANY mmo for fun and people get overly obsessed, but for me an emu server of a 10 year old game i almost feel stupid for getting worked up.

And that's a good thing!

I clicked on the No option just because it is closest to how i feel . I for one try not to get worked up about any game be it online or offline , they are just games and nothing more . They are a nice way to pass some time and to relax when the real world get to be kind of heavy on your shoulders but as a means of entertainment they shouldn't be taken to seriously, having said that i truly enjoy 1999 it is my EQ Emu of choice right now and a lot of fun but getting worked up over a online game be it pay or free is a sign that maybe its time to take awhile off and check the real life priority's. Just my two cents worth , take it a face value [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I cared about everything I did online, i'd probably be much nicer than I am now.

Voted no, but yes in a way.

there is no difference between a 10 year or 1 week old game as long we got the numbers, and we have em

I don't play as seriously, knowing that private servers can be taken down in a matter of minutes if they get a cease and desist letter from their parent companies. I've seen it happen in other games and it really made me realize that it's not as reliable, I lost all my work for like 2 years of game play.
