all those people at once...server would crash...even now I have seen that once we get around 900 to 1000 players it sometimes gets a little choppy latency in EC...

but then again thats EC.....Server runs on donations to pay for bandwidth...of which I plan to do very soon, otherwise this wouldnt exist at all

lol those were the days.

Serious ups to the gms and devs here.. it's not even that p99 is so incredibly more stable than live was.. it's incredibly more stable than the other emus are, too. On some of the other servers it was pretty common to see up to 1/3 of a raid force LD during big fights, not the case here at all.

We've had only one zone crash since the 22nd, which was due to a missing sanity check that is now fixed for next patch. When this server first started, we got maybe half a dozen zone crashes a day.

We continue to make efforts to optimize the code. The base EQEmu code has loads of unnecessary calls and inefficient programming that I've worked extensively on revamping.

In addition to that we don't run this shit on an atari 2600 on a 28k modem!

This is not classic.

Haha, classic line *wink wink*

Is that a player in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

lol.

I just remembered that same person saying some snide things about certain guilds and certain people getting favoritism because they had "Gm's in their pocket," and thought their comment here was kind of an about face from that...At least some of the disgruntled rebels on this server are consistent...

Figured I'd poke at them and see if they'd provide any explanation. ;)

Thats my memory too...

I wish I could find it somewhere, but there was a cartoon that was circulated.. Was a dog, sitting on a desk, Variant logo in the background... and one of the guys in front of the desk, said 'Let me introduce our new mascott, Patches.. '

Ive searched high and low for the cartoon again.. but have not found it again in recent years.

New record, or is it just me?

^ i just don't see how folks can stand to play on EZ server. I made a char there and deleted him after lvl 5. It was too too easy. Took all of the thrill and uncertainty out of playing EQ. Glad I stuck with P1999. GF and I having a blast.
