The Forum Is Ready

[Nirgon]

Sirken, tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one has said they DON'T want to hear it.

If you go down for telling the story, I will be sure to get my forum account banned in your defense.

Do you wanna be a BLUE GM your whole life in the shadow of Rogean's BIG HEAD!?

TELL US ALREADY! STRAIGHT!

[marie]

p99 red rip

[heartbrand]

Depressing story that confirms rogean does not care about red99 yet owns this server and wants our donations. Someone sell me box for 25k.

[Nirgon]

Why is his GM living in FEAR of sharing information?

Just TELL US he wants to shut it down.

[mostbitter]

We can't tell you cus then... well then you would know!

[marie]

nizzar didnt get banned, hes in the process of cashing out because red getting shut down

[Sheriff]

nizzar didnt get banned, hes in the process of cashing out because red getting shut down

You saying Nizzar is insider trading? That's illegal!

[Galacticus]

There is no reason to hide it.

[Tassador]

You can literally stop playing at any time if you are unhappy about the server situation. Server was made to be classic you fucks cheated the staff cheated the server and now want to do what you do best besides eq which is bitch.

[Squire]

my name is squire, this is my box, and i am not afraid.

Tell us the story.

Didn't cheat shit bro

I played like a gentleman

Shame that a couple bad apples gotta ruin the bunch

But at this point you can throw the bad apples out all you want, they will just get helped back to the top by their equally corrupt pals (see Elder-mo-ran's corrupt leader board). When the player investment to staff investment time ratio is such that they can get a character to 60 faster (and commit Norrathian crimes of the highest caliber) than you can investigate and ban them... it becomes clear that a PURGE is in order. Tear the whole fucking corrupt structure down and hopefully those who are overly invested will leave never to return. Only for the box to be populated by fresh, pure blood.


Speaking of resident moran, and in the same way he investigated Velious: should this thread receive 100 positive votes I will go hard in the thickest Norrathian paint for answers as I am the point man for this issue.

[Macc]

If the possibility the news were to be the server is shutting down. I say tell us all now. It will be a lot less painless to just rip the band-aid off fast.

I think it is easily accepted and people will just stop playing and move along, and this server can be taken down sooner. Maybe I am wrong.

[Not_Kazowi]

Zade confirmed the other day that the server is not getting shut down. Why are people still crying about this?

[Nirgon]

I am not saying red is being shut down. I just want to know what Sirken is HIDING from us. SPILL IT.

[mostbitter]

Didn't derubael confirm that the exp bonus wasn't removed and we are all just crazy?

[Smedy]

None of ya'll are ready for what brogean is about to bring ya

Zade confirmed the other day that the server is not getting shut down. Why are people still crying about this?

Voidd confirmed vztz wasn't getting shut down so i spent a weekend making a serious promo for that box to increase box pop, 2 weeks after release it was wiped!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9No-_1cNvg

Never forgive never forget, was sirken part of the staff on that box? I think he might have been, not sure, pretty sure he was

[Nirgon]

I would hate to think we have more empty promises being dangled over us.

Just type a few letters, hit post reply, wipe your hands of whatever it is.

WTF are you scared of? It's a god damned emulated EQ server.

[Kergan]

I'm really confused.

[Squire]

Zade confirmed the other day that the server is not getting shut down. Why are people still crying about this?

Because its human nature to generate wild speculation in an information vaccum.

Sirken teases us with a story that would apparently answer many questions regarding both past actions regarding, and future direction of the box is almost like your boss saying "i need to see you in my office friday afternoon." Most people would imagine all kinds of, largely negitive, scenerios of what that could entail, and bounce those ideas off of peers. or its like puttiing a 16 year old girl in front of a caveman, either one.

Tell us the truth.

[Zoolander]

bet they just had some internal discussions, nothing of real value for us since we see the outcome by just playing the game

Bro I think we both know that VZTZ wasn't nearly as stable as project99.

[Nirgon]

Yet the playerbase is almost the same at this point... being devoid of classic item loot/resist features and fast xp/people getting away with boxing.

INTREDASTING.

[Azure]

A unanimous poll. ON R99... how can this be.

[Squire]

Looks like sirken voted lol

[Colgate]

sirken is a pussy

[Derubael]

You guys would be sorely disappointed in the story.

Sirken was just trolling you.

I'm more interested in hearing HB's 'real reason' xp got removed.

Spill the beans HB.

[Squire]

Then tell us your mundane version

[Derubael]

HB spills his beans I'll spill mine.

I'm eager to see who has a larger sack

of beans.

Heartbrand is retarded, anyone that still believes a single word he says needs their head checked.

[heartbrand]

If Sirken gives me the a-ok I'll spill the beans otherwise I don't feel right divulging it

[Colgate]

hb you're being just as bad as sirken by posting that

[quido]

beans are racist

Voidd told staff box was closing down long before you made that vid. Voidd trolled ur dick off.

[Terpuntine]

hb you're being just as bad as sirken by posting that

I know the beans but if sirken needs to give the emp an OK and then the emp needs to give me the OK before I will post it.

[Lasher]

Names have been changed and identities have been altered to protect the people involved.


Red99 staff meeting

Snuffaluffagus- People who get banned for rmt and hacking just relvl easily and come back

Steve Polychronopolous- Oh exp too high? ill just nerf it!

Snuffaluffagus- Nah, thats not the answer dont do that.

Steve Polychronoplous- Too late

Snuffaluffagus- /facepalm

[Galacticus]

[Imago]

Damn - I was just getting towards the high end too.

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

Red99 isn't going anywhere, XP is getting buffed again very soon, and despite Velious being in beta it's still at least 3 years away. So everyone calm down, roll over to my WTS thread, and buy my stuff. Everything is priced to move! Looking for blue plat mostly, hit me up!

[Humerox]

where is the "stfu and play the game" option

[Potus]

Sirken, tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you wanna be a BLUE GM your whole life in the shadow of Rogean's BIG HEAD!?

TELL US ALREADY! STRAIGHT!

What happened was Rogean called the staff together at his house, and they were about to begin when the doorbell rang. Sirken got up to get the pizza, for they had ordered lunch, such was the volume and enormity of their plans to save Red99. He opened the door and it was no pizza man at all, instead it was a chinaman with an uzi! He kicked Sirken aside and yelled, "Hah! You think you fool Boss Fong by using P99 donations to launder the Yakuza's money, but Boss Fong is no fool, prepare to die!" You see, Rogean once washed money for the Triads, but switched to the Poison Fist of the Orient when they offered him a better return.

The men at the table winced, expecting to be sprayed with bullets, but Sirken rose from behind, pulled a table leg out, and bludgeoned the triad hitman to death. It was at this precise moment that the Papa John's delivery man did arrive at the door. Well he can't be bought off, so Sirken murdered him too.

They then dragged both men into the bathroom and cut their bodies up. At this time Deru had to google directions to a New Jersey forest to dispose of the bodies. Rogean dipped his cheseeburger pizza into the garlic sauce and said, "welp, better nerf exp in the mean time, then we can implement an exp bonus that will lead to a newbie utopia. Crushbone will be a land of plentiful pvp!" They buried the bodies thirty miles southwest of Trenton.

[BigHurb]

i dont think i can ever play EQ again now that i started building shit... power tools > EQ ... im sorry you guys are fuckin turds if ur able bodied and playing this shit!!!

[Derubael]

HB: that reason you were given has actually been stated on Sirken's Supercast (that no one watches. so now you can all go watch the episodes and find out the super sekret reason!!) and was just an indirect side effect of the removal of XP.

The actual reason it was removed is the same one we've been stating for weeks.

There is no grand story, there is no amazing race - we asked Rogean to turn it off, and he did.

All beans have been spilled. They all tasted terrible and weren't worth making into bean dip.

[quido]

bean dip sucks anyways

[Squire]

Fair enough.

So are we still going to hear the framework of the plans and or updates this week as you stated this past weekend?

*PROTIP* put it in a stickied thread you or Sirken author.

[Exed]

Hey derubael I appreciate the respone on restore of my character Exed who did not RMT and was banned.

[Squire]

FREE EXED

[Something'Witty]

All beans have been spilled. They all tasted terrible and weren't worth making into bean dip.

Boo, so anticlimactic. The thread had so much forumquest potential, and a GM had to step in and ruin the game with "facts."

[Faerie]

GMs are just screwing with us at this point.

Who are the people that voted no??

[Colgate]

cannot think of a logical reason as to why you thought the exp rate was too high

[Musetii]

All who voted yes....prepare anus for ban.

[Fame]

GMs are just screwing with us at this point.

Who are the people that voted no??

When I did it there was one other I think, show yourself!

[Humerox]

I voted no because it really doesn't matter anymore, and they think they''ve given us enough information. The only thing I've been pissed off about is the admins let these forums and OOC dictate their opinion of the entire community when both are a poor representation of most of the people that actually play.

And yeah I'll keep saying it.

It is pretty sad if Rogean thinks people like Cast are really representative of what we're all about.

[Aenor]

nizzar didnt get banned, hes in the process of cashing out because red getting shut down

LMAO at anyone who buys pixels on a dead server. You get what you pay for. Worst part about it is if people weren't blinded by greed they wouldn't have destroyed their own marketplace. PvPers and RMTers could have shared this server side by side, kept interest and profits high for years to come if it wasn't for the blindness and stupidity of people who shit their own bed then complain about the smell.

[Bazia]

Aenor you are really a negative dude

[Aenor]

How am I negative? I made $1000 a month on live. I would love it if this server lined the pockets of the RMTers and the staff while simultaneously providing free entertainment for people like me who don't have a lot of time and just want to have a bit of fun now and then. But when you shit your own bed, it's no fun for the casuals and your short profits turn into a dead server instead of a steady cash cow.

[Red_Psyphon]

Aenor..don't have time to play but has time to try and turn an RL profit..really bro its a game not a job. Its not that it ruins gameplay for casuals, it's the morons who need twink gear to play who are the fucking casuals that ruin the game for people trying to play and save money playing just this game and not buying every slightly interesting game that comes out. Also if you don't have enough time to invest in Everquest like the rest of us do us a favor and don't play.


TLDR; Fuck RMT in games and Fuck you for doing it.

[Sweetbaby Jesus]

GMs are just screwing with us at this point.

I voted no.

[Smedy]

baby jesus knows we aint ready for these beans

[Aenor]

I had time to turn a RL profit in 2000... L2FQ 2014 join date guy.
