Look, y'all can keep making bad insults, or you can use your brains and point out an actual flaw in my argument. Here it is, again, with numbered points you can easily reference.
Back in '99-'01 ... - 99% of players didn't have two accounts
- < 10% of those with 2nd accounts had 45+ level Rangers on them (a safe assumption since there are more than ten classes, and getting to 45 was hard back then)
- < 50% had connections that lasted, consistently, for hours at a time
- < 1% willing to do something that crazy; the risk of losing your corpse and/or tons of XP was scarier back then
- < 1% had any idea there even were safe spots in Hate
Let's just throw out #3 (the Internet connection one), because I don't want to argue the exact percentage, and let's throw out #4 for the same reason: that still leaves 1% of 10% of 1%, ie. ... 0.001%.
Like I keep saying, maybe someone did it once, but 99.99% of all classic play involved 0% Hate tracking. |
Yet again, you come and post your opinions as facts. You're the Donald Trump of the P99 forums. None of anything you're saying is provable and, in fact, some of it is just incorrect based on others' personal experiences.
Especially if we're talking like 2001 part of the classic era, I had an internet connection that worked literally all day and night without a disconnect (except occasionally if a zone got way overpopulated, like during a GM event (or to use a Luclin example, in the bazaar)).
Plenty of people were doing crazy shit in 2001 for sure.
You can find posts with the large raiding guilds talking about safe spots in the planes (and safe spots being moved in patches) from the classic era.
And to add an additional note with respect to one of the things that started this whole discussion, you can find discussions of MQ from the classic pre-epic era and you can find people requesting staff MQs post-epic release, which would indicate that not only were people aware of (and utilizing) MQs for quests (including epics) but that there were people taking staff drops in Hate and selling them.
You're just not correct man. At the very very least you just had a server that was different from others and your experience there is only informative insofar as the statement is "MY server didn't do this"
