This server is toxic

[chaos1990]

Every 6 man camp within my level range (Im a druid, i checked them all) is taken by a duo of 1 mage + 1 other class or swapped between infinite guild mates. Noone answers tells for the most mundane of questions leading to wonderful adventures ending in 5+ all anons after a 20 minute trip and movement patterns appearing to be a box.

Im at an unfortunate level range where root rotting or quadding isnt possible just yet.

[magusfire24]

Hopefully this will slow down as some of the neckbeards out level stuff and either move on or get bored and leave.

[Cen]

I was actually very hopeful it wouldn't be tremendously toxic. Now to be fair, it is more toxic then I expected, but its not the worst thing ive seen ;P haha

Ive run into nice people, but a very large amount of angry people who at the drop of a hat or any mistake being made drops group after ranting, or argues with every other person or group nearby pulling a mob anywhere in view, etc. Its crazy how crazy people get

[greatdane]

This community has always been a minefield of psychological disorders. The prospect of a fresh server that can be "won" is just amplifying the unhinged nature of the playerbase more than usual.

LMAO. What's ACTUALLY gonna happen is they will be perma-camping every droppable item in the game.

[Jimjam]

You think it is bad 1 Week in?

Imagine what these hardcores will be like in 1 month when they are level 50 and there is literally ZERO content for them to do for the next 12 months.

Trust me when I say this server has come a LONG way from being truly toxic. Most of the ill minded people have burned out or been banned.

back in 2010-2014 was probably the most toxic period of this server. And the fact that they had to clean up the forums is proof of this.

Many of you will never know just how crazy things on p99 and p99 forums use to be. I was lucky to catch the tail end of the madness.

Yup, no matter how many servers you make. No matter the rule set, classic or not. There is always going to be that breed of human that goes overboard..

Check my join date I remember. People were assholes but they didnt have camp denial and handoffs down to a science. I can handle an asshole in group chat or ooc. I can't do anything about being locked out of my experience bar. Green 2 needs to happen I think

Man, if all I did was read the forums, I'd think Green was a total cesspool. Luckily, having actually played it, this has not been my experience at all. With very few exceptions, the people I've met have been kind and helpful and willing to group with just about anyone.

Is it different on the non-Qeynos side of the world or am I just oblivious to this toxicity?

Under level 20 the server is quite pleasant. I have nothing but good things to say until I dinged 20. Classic isn't very big at all which leads to the top end being all but cut off from anyone who doesnt roll in with a premade 2 or 6 which they all do. I'm not risking my account to contest the mobs because GM decisions on what constitutes a camp changes like the weather

This is why i always found red servers to be more classic in the community sense. There is no blank ignoring others on red because thats how you get attacked. I know it sounds like a paradox, but people were actually more considerate and polite on red.

Thats the forums, it was always dominated by a dozen toxic assholes. Another reason why red should of never gotten global /ooc (it let them continue their forum shitalking in game) and should link character accounts to forum accounts and chain ban both for respective infractions.

Anyways, ignore those forums. If a new red server opens you will see its a different experience in game.

[Lamil]

I don't think people were ready for every mob to be contested and it being super slow to lvl. It causes people to get all toxic and angry in game. I will say just do a /who all lfg and your lvl range and create a group. Most of these people just sit with LFG up but aren't proactive at all for making one.

Problem is that 6 man groups are really bad XP at lower levels, really the entire game until Kunark comes around. Duo / Trio is so much more efficient. I understand the frustration though as a classic cleric player who always had to group.

[Fammaden]

Much of the community is dogshit right now. Between greed, competition over camps and spawns, and level/achievement racing, everything good about old EQ communities has been thrown out the window and the bad stuff has been amplified tenfold. Everyone's just trolling and memeing in the thread, but if OP's point continues to hold true you'll start to hear about it more and more.

All the forum troll brigade is painting blue as the toxic place, but it used to be any new player posting here or on reddit would rave about how great the community on blue was to them. I realize the raid scene was pretty diseased in a lot of ways, and there was a lot of exploiting and cheating in blue's past...but the state the server had settled into felt far more like an old school EQ server during Velious than whatever's going on with green right now resembles a classic server dynamic. The dude comparing it to live Velious in some thread today was dead on, I played then too. Yes blue's had far higher levels of twinking and alts and raid bot toons, but the feel of the server's pulse was still quite accurate.

This feels like the beautiful thing that was P99 has been turned into just another progression server. Maybe as some player attrition happens this could turn around, but I'd expect that to be three months at least or as much as the seven when the legacy items are gone. I guess things also might get sorted more once the playerbase settles into a farm routine in the 40+ scene and staff starts to ban people for boxing, training, ks'ing etc. Right now though there probably isn't enough coverage to push out the negative elements through bannings and discipline.

[Meiva]

This community has always been a minefield of psychological disorders. The prospect of a fresh server that can be "won" is just amplifying the unhinged nature of the playerbase more than usual.

Most of us were quarantined on Red for a while. Then one extra chromosome loon makes an anti semitic remark. The top guild is flipped upside down and shook. Then the mass exodus that felt as though we went from 500 to 20 players over night. Red never recovered.

I've never preached for a fresh pvp server, but it makes more sense now than ever. It may relieve Green of a few hundred ultra nerds that can't afford our medication.

[Fammaden]

This too. There are so many red refugees on green, not that I've had a specific problem with them. As much as I'm sick of the red people's posts begging for a new server, if they merged red to blue right now and just reset red as a classic era green-timeline teams PVP server (or whatever ruleset) that would go a LONG way to easing green's sheer numbers at least.

This server is very toxic. I sat at a camp for two hours waiting on "list" even dropping heals sometimes just to have two of the parties friends jump in ahead of me.

And yes I know they jumped line because the guy with the list told me the 4 names ahead of me, none of which are the two that joined.

I would just like to add, since the only way to fix the community is to name and shame. The issue was with Trogdar <Auld Lang Syne> as he was the one to /t me when I asked to join list and he said sure I would be 5th after 4 others. Once they added the first not on the list I was given I asked "Guys not doing list then?" which he said it was someone else who said that person was replacing them, he then added another member from his guild to group.

This is a weird response. But ill answer with a stern negative, I'm not saying that at all!

The actual actor and the character he is playing are woefully different. That's why it makes no sense to claim some large footed half-human looks like Daniel Day Lewis in a game when it doesn't at all, but does indeed share a single similar facial hair feature from a role said actor dressed up and styled to purposely mimic his role as a character he isn't in real life, even though it looks nothing like him outside of the movie.

Based on your recent logic I could post a pic of every single character Daniel has ever been in and claim they all look like your halflings face, because it's Daniel. Sound silly? Sure does!

[Keza]

How is someone holding a camp toxic? It would be great if there was a checkable list for camps and you couldn't pass them on to whoever you want, but it's hardly toxic. People need to stop using this word. Toxicity is being prejudice and telling someone to kill themselves, not playing the game a way you dislike.

I'll give you an example. Play any Battlefield game and you'll find that half of your team will spend the majority of the game camping in tanks, waiting for vehicles to spawn or sitting a mile away on top of a skyscraper sniping all game. This is bad design, resulting in people playing the game in an unintended way, but it's not toxic. It's just people having fun however they want to have fun. Yes, them sitting on top of a building with a sniper all match long sucks for everyone else, but they aren't toxic. It's just bad design.

I'm also disbelieving that every "6 man camp" (that's totally made up btw) is permanently duo'd. The server may be saturated but that's obviously a lie. Even if it was you can solo to 24 as a druid and the exp isn't even that bad. I've done it. I don't know about them not responding to you. You say none of them ever respond, which is another suspicious claim, but if you're insisting that they need to invite you and saying they are toxic I would bet they all put you on ignore, especially if they are all guilded.

I am suprised people are suprised about things being competitive. What did people expect, 2000 players to sing come along and share equally?

[Cuktus]

Keza brings up something I find pretty interesting. What is the definition of toxic behavior on P99? Some things, I think, most of us will agree on. KSing is toxic. Insult, verbal abuse, etc, we can lump into toxic chat behavior. But then we start getting into grey areas. Is ignoring someone's tell toxic? What about not sharing. Mobs are at a premium right now. If I am holding down 3 or 4 static spawns and someone comes and asks to join me, should I have to accept?

I would love to hear some of your guys thoughts on this.

[Dulian]

If you are outdoors, aren’t you obligated by the rules to share those spawns?

[Mblake81]

https://i.imgur.com/zOJTdL2.jpg

When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens in theaters this weekend, one thing is almost certainly guaranteed: the film will most definitely be thematically and tonally different than the original Mirage Studios comic book series from the early 1980s. That’s because pretty much every iteration of the TMNT has been vastly different from the original source material.

Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984, TMNT was never intended to become a global phenomenon. With a print run of just a shade over 3,000 copies, and published in a black and white magazine format, the first issue of the series reads more like a send-up of other, more established comic book characters like Daredevil and the New Mutants. As a result, Eastman and Laird never held back with their series, filling it with gratuitous violence, grotesque imagery and wild and irreverent plot points. Those who first became familiar with the ninja turtles with the rest of the universe in the late 1980s after the launch of the TMNT animated series, will in all likelihood find Eastman and Laird’s comic book characters to be completely unrecognizable. In fact, with the black and white format, the reader can’t even tell which turtle is which unless they were holding a weapon.

Anytime I see someone say Toxic I get visions of Reddit memes and Canadian female hobbits running around with "No Hate in Norrath" signs.

[Cuktus]

If you are outdoors, aren’t you obligated by the rules to share those spawns?

The rules say you can only camp a single spawn in an outdoor zone. So if someone is camping more then one mob and someone else engages a spawn first, you have to accept you lost the mob. Not the same as sharing, however. Now you just fighting over spawns. If your are a higher level, or a more solo suitable class, you will more then likely come out on top. Same question applies, in my mind, is that toxic?

[Baler]

I'm camping all the hill giants in rathe mountains. Please respect me and play nice somewhere else. :rolleyes:

[Cuktus]

I'm camping all the hill giants in rathe mountains. Please respect me and play nice somewhere else. :rolleyes:

You are poking fun, but let us dig deeper. A realistic situation many of us have seen before. Hill giants are being farmed by two or three lvl 50s. You arrive on scene to see NO hill giants are up. Not one.

Now, I agree that if you are first to engage, you have rights to that mob. My question isn't about that. My question, is it toxic if the over-leveled individuals do everything (allowed by the rules) in their power to limit your ability to pull? They don't share. They don't leave you one or two mobs to hunt. They continue the slaughter to the absolute best of their abilities. Is that toxic? Or is that normal behavior?

[Tecmos Deception]

Is that toxic? Or is that normal behavior?

This is the issue I think. Behavior isn't a yes or no, on or off, 1 or 0 thing. You can fall inbetween "polite, civilized behavior" and "toxic cod kiddy cesspool." But people are quick to label either one or the other.

Imo, simply not being polite and helpful and perhaps selfless (if you're acting within the rules, then ceding anything IS basically selfless) is one thing. Actively being a dick (like forcing your way in on someone else just because they weren't willing to be selfless and helpful, let alone something like training with intent to kill or KSing by outdamaging or whatever) is the toxic stuff.

[oldhead]

Trust me when I say this server has come a LONG way from being truly toxic. Most of the ill minded people have burned out or been banned.

back in 2010-2014 was probably the most toxic period of this server. And the fact that they had to clean up the forums is proof of this.

Many of you will never know just how crazy things on p99 and p99 forums use to be. I was lucky to catch the tail end of the madness.


pepperidge farm remembers. :D


Would like to add... its not "This game" or "This server" is toxic. It is people. People online. Was reading the classic patch notes and a couple made me laugh about the mentality of some of the gamers even back in the heyday and innocents of the Internets. People will find ways to have an advantage. Any advantage.


This is classic toxic.

*Corpse Looting Exploit*

Recently, an exploit was discovered that allowed certain unsavory
individuals to loot the corpses of other players without their consent.
The precise symptom of this is that the owner would find their corpse
stripped of everything except for no-drop items, and items in a bag
with no-drop items. This exploit was fixed in this patch.

We received word a few weeks ago that some people were using these
items to "spam" other players with their spell-effect messages, causing
them to disconnect. Though /ignore will allow you to filter out text
messages caused by people on your /ignore list, it will not allow you
to filter out spell-effect messages for spells cast upon you.


Some people were spamming others with /consent, causing them to
disconnect. As a result, /consent can now only be done once every two
seconds. Should you be harassed via this tool, please use /report.
Also, please take care to avoid accidentally /consenting someone, as it
will be two seconds before you can undo it.

This server is very toxic. I sat at a camp for two hours waiting on "list" even dropping heals sometimes just to have two of the parties friends.

Yikes, time to reconsider your life.

Trust me when I say this server has come a LONG way from being truly toxic. Most of the ill minded people have burned out or been banned.

back in 2010-2014 was probably the most toxic period of this server. And the fact that they had to clean up the forums is proof of this.

Many of you will never know just how crazy things on p99 and p99 forums use to be. I was lucky to catch the tail end of the madness.

I lost a friend in RL when he sat down at my computer with the P99 forums loaded up in 2010. I walked into the room with the computer and he slowly turned to look at me with the most aghast look of horror on his face. He never came over again.

You are poking fun, but let us dig deeper. A realistic situation many of us have seen before. Hill giants are being farmed by two or three lvl 50s. You arrive on scene to see NO hill giants are up. Not one.

Now, I agree that if you are first to engage, you have rights to that mob. My question isn't about that. My question, is it toxic if the over-leveled individuals do everything (allowed by the rules) in their power to limit your ability to pull? They don't share. They don't leave you one or two mobs to hunt. They continue the slaughter to the absolute best of their abilities. Is that toxic? Or is that normal behavior?

I want to make a blueberry pie. I go outside and find a blueberry patch. After a while another berry picker arrives and asks if they can pick from the same patch because they're making jam. If I share the patch, I won't have enough for the pie I want to make. I'll have to spend more time finding another patch. Should I inconvenience myself so another doesn't have to? What is my duty to their wants?

No one here needs pie or jam. There is no prize for the best pie. No award for the jam. We just want it because it's tasty.

It's normal human behavior. People set goals for themselves, other people do too, and sometimes these goals conflict. Then they argue about it, someone wins or loses or there is a compromise. "Toxic" should not be used to describe human behavior because it dehumanizes it and it dehumanizes the person it describes.

Every 6 man camp within my level range (Im a druid, i checked them all) is taken by a duo of 1 mage + 1 other class or swapped between infinite guild mates. Noone answers tells for the most mundane of questions leading to wonderful adventures ending in 5+ all anons after a 20 minute trip and movement patterns appearing to be a box.

None of this stuff is toxicity, it's EverQuest. If you want a group, sometimes you have to work for it or foster relationships with other players to receive invitations.

This isn't like other MMOs. Sometimes a group becomes a lot less efficient when they add new people. Some people are okay with gaining less experience, but other people are not. You are not entitled to join a group just because you feel like the group is being "greedy" by killing "too many" mobs.

Just because the game mechanics are different from other games and those game mechanics have created a different culture, doesn't mean that any of it is toxic. It's just a different experience that's mostly unique to EverQuest.

It is hilarious to see you saying this because you are such a wretched person that you personally lessened my enjoyment

both these people play paladins

Yikes, time to reconsider your life.

[Lamil]

Instead of being pro-active I'm more like anti-active when it comes to making groups... Some people just aren't cut out for leader roles, especially introverts. :-/

Which is where some of us more outgoing people reach out to you and get a group going!

I think left brained people will laugh while the more analytical will be frustrated at the inefficiency they must suffer through to find a dial a port when the camps at their current local are full up.

Once they added the first not on the list I was given I asked "Guys not doing list then?" which he said it was someone else who said that person was replacing them, he then added another member from his guild to group.

Not just someone from his guild, but his Hammerbro!

Very well put, thank you for that.

Fair point, except the analogy isn't completely on point because sharing a camp doesn't prevent you from getting enough EXP. So by sharing a camp you can still "make your pie" so to speak (i.e. achieve your goal of getting XP to level).

Nothing wrong with someone being nice and sharing the camp instead of refusing to because splitting would slow down their XP such that it would take them like an extra 30-60 minutes to level.

Everyone I've run into has been nice and friendly. I died twice in a group and nobody got mad. No one has ks'd me. One time me and someone else started casting on the same mob at the same time and we both stopped and walked away lol.

Is Faydwer just polite? Am I just lucky?

I have my ranger, and now a cleric.. and im starting to think that maybe I need to just be a solo class and only solo, because.. groups just aint happenin ;p

Though I know Clerics are sort of undesirable until superior/complete/rez levels.

Yeah clerics not fastest soloers, but they are robust and can take on pretty strong foes. You can def solo while waiting for group.
