The wild west feel of EverQuest (which is part of what made it amazing) is completely gone or absent on P99. The fact that one guild can just hold a camp indefinitely is also extremely anti-classic. When I was a kid I remember Guk as being an actual leveling zone, handfuls of players grouped up all over the place, many wandering around in search of a group. I cannot imagine anyone just allowing a literal AFK player to hold onto Frenzied Ghoul camp for hours before handing it off to some other kid who just woke up. I know for a fact that another group would have just showed up and took that shit. And this also gave players more incentive to group. On P99, Wizards feel kind of like a pointless class for a lot of content. In situations where you're camping a rare item and you're terrified of being KS'd, a Wizard is the best class you can possibly have in your group. I actually remember being a 16 year old kid and camping Gator Scale leggings for 18 hours straight, and a Dark Elf wizard just showed up and sat there. Didn't say anything. I almost had a nervous breakdown because I knew if he wanted to KS me there was nothing I could do about it. Wizards on P99 just feel like shitty mages because the few scenarios where they shine are no longer relevant.

The English language has this concept called “the paragraph”. I’d recommend you google it, but incase you prefer a shortcut: https://lmgtfy.app/?q=the+paragraph

There's no pronoun agreement for "it." In this sentence, "it" could refer to anything. Am I googling the sun? A reindeer? The price of tea in China? We don't know because you failed to form a pronoun agreement and incorrectly used "it" out of place.
If you're going to pretend to be smart, at least know what the fuck you're talking about. Right now you're just a fake nerd.... which is a weird thing to emulate.

P99 is significantly less classic than TAKP. For fuck's sake, it's using a client from 2006 and functions around a bunch of custom rules because the player base is mentally handicapped.

P99 is a collection of individuals looking for a shared experience of Everquest that was never actually common between them, which occurred among an entirely different population and whos experiences are often misremembered or entirely fabricated to such an extent that mimicking the motions we vaguely remember performing in the past is our best hope of momentarily grasping some faint, singular remnant emotion that we can categorize as "classic".

During the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, Farrakhan praised Republican candidate Donald Trump as the only candidate "who has stood in front of the Jewish community and said 'I don’t want your money.'" In 2018, Farrakhan again praised Trump for "destroying every enemy that was an enemy of our rise." He included the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this group.

I don't think anyone won in this thread
There's no pronoun agreement for "it." In this sentence, "it" could refer to anything. Am I googling the sun? A reindeer? The price of tea in China? We don't know because you failed to form a pronoun agreement and incorrectly used "it" out of place.
I don't see anything wrong with the original statement. 'It' refers to the previous noun, which is 'the paragraph'. A pronoun disagreement would have been 'I suggest you google them' which would indeed be confusing.

P99 is, and likely always will be the most classic server, if for no other reason than it's the only server to actually keep us all playing one account at a time (you know, like 99.9% of us did in classic).
That being said, there's a reason there's been a huge amount of discussion of "what does classic even mean" around here lately, and I would suggest that a very simple way to end it would be for the staff to actually get passionate about classic EQ again, and then articulate what they see as classic EQ.
Right now we have this total mishmash: AoE swarming is classicly/unclassicly limited, but charming looks nothing like it did on live ... and yet we still stick to the "letter of the law" on it. ZEMs are a similar sign of this schizophrenia.
It would take all of one or two paragraphs for R&N to make clear what their goal for classic EQ actually is, and it would put everyone on the same page ... but I truly think they either they themselves don't know the answer to "what's classic (here)?", or their just afraid of players twisting whatever they say (which seems silly to me as it's their world, and we'll fall in line behind whatever definition they decide on ... if they ever decide on one).
TLDR; Someday the http://wiki.project1999.com/Non-Classic_Compendium will be totally logical. It will be able to explain everything that seems "unclassic" using the "classic criteria" that everyone is on the same page about. Until then we're going to have thread after thread after thread about "classic" ... where 90+% of the arguments just come from everyone having a different definition of the word.

to me, classic is a nice cold coke next to the fire with a good book and my dog, sip
also unloading a couple ivandyr hoops on someone I don't know in the forest and taking their cloth bracers

When's the bag limited bag limit
For example you win the last 3 bag limited mobs in a row
People still "being denied content" aka loot
You're in the 75% loot guild, the 25% guild or almost no loot guild
I haven't looked at the biased, toxic and poorly managed disaster that is the UN yet, but I'm sure there's begging for more

Until we get food and drink duration fixed this isn't classic.

I don't remember any food items saying if it was a hearty meal or not in era. Check the water flasks etc on the way back machine.
The more correct answer to not a classic experience until X is stamina mechanics.

You think the staff will actually still patch p99 ?
I thought they were done with that?

I had heard they wanted to patch your bleeding anus until they saw what sorts of things you were stuffing in it.

What did I do to get under your skin that bad tho ?
For one it seems you petty much just live in rants in flames and contribute nothing whatsoever to these forums except for your little whiney threads almost invariably involving beta boiz on the beta server.

Time locked content and its never ending consequences
It's classic except mobs use level to level comparison for resist checks against you, they cast from the non classic spell selection from when Live changed caster npcs, red epic is some how outpacing vp weapons and gets some sort of 600 hate proc instead of the armor / attack whatever debuff / DD that it used to proc for much less, several Raid monsters with proc effects (proc PBAOE) are broken, dragon roar is still not 0 MR check which should be a garauntee for any serious raider nearly. lol @ aaryoner being rooted because it takes out the one challenge he ever presented to anyone (being pushed on your casters).
But all that said, if you saw what i saw when there was 8 players on a tiny no name server 10 years ago you'd be saying god damn how did they manage. at least it's not fucking WoW -- tho i'd prefer a little more hands off the gamers approach.
lets just pray they someday delete all that dynamic light change shit so eq can be much smoother like it was for 9 years

And gms looking the other way while people traded level 60 characters for platinum pieces during kunark -- where on LIVE you would get FUCKING BANNED for sharing accounts. Pretty great way to crowd the top end and clog this toilet early.
