View Full Version : Is Alt-Tabbing against the ToS?

Or just frowned upon?

Is this kind of thing bad; i am camping a spawn which consists of two monsters. I charm them against each other, and go back to reading a book in real life. I come back to kill the monsters again when they respawn. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam. Is this not playing p99 the way it was intended?

Thanks for serious responses.

This is fine as long as you are not getting exp while afk (parking a mage pet then afking ect).

I do have two monitors! but that's still skirting around the issue... it's like, to roleplay this game properly, one shouldn't have a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in their brain... should have to learn and remember stuff or print out old eqatlas maps and keep them with you. (which i did back on live when i was really young.)

Na'am sayin'?

You are allowed to tab out of the game. I think thats the most silly question i have heard asked here :P

Being a fan isn't imitation. Big words coming from a member of an imitation raiding guild.

Also P99's unofficial slogan should be "Welcome to EverQuest! You're in your own world now!" due to the level of twinks, solo artists and peope scoffing at the idea of a full group slowing down their min/max journey to 60.

I might ban you for not playing in a window, but I won't ban you for alt-tabbing.

I don't know how anyone could not be doing other things by alt tabbing or using second monitor. Only thing is that anyone can come and take that camp because you are essentially afk. As long as you aren't trying to get a stranglehold on a popular camp, no one will grudge you for it. Just don't do it in groups:P

Quoting this purely for the HHGttG mention. Best book series on the planet. Max respect.

I wish I could get my game fullscreen. Would always crash the game to desktop when I clicked something.
Years spent at only 95% immersion.
