You make the bed that you sleep in, folks.
There's a good reason that so many are abandoning P99 for other projects like TAKP.
The culture of toxicity drips down from the top.
These days, the extent of my playtime on p99 servers is just "ninja buffing" I keep a chanter, druid and shaman logged out in strategic places, then I do /who all 10 20, or 20 40, then i invis and randomly show up at their camp, buff and leave.
You know how when your solo or group is struggling to keep going, and then some high level shows up unannounced with their buffs? That "OHH ITS ON NOW" feeling? providing that service is the only enjoyment I can find on P99 anymore.
Everquest is stuck in my brain, it imprinted itself on my young developing mind, and its still here, its been years since i was in a raiding guild, they sucked any fun out of P99 raiding. There is no point to even try when "raiding" becomes a full time occupation, I got my shits of the corporate world and retired young. I ain't putting in 50 hours a week for pixels. I play golf, I go fishing, I maintain my boat.
Devs: When you created a sandbox that requires 50 to 70+ hours a week to make any meaningful progress, you filtered out all of the "normal, well balanced" people and you were left with the home-bound, incel type players who hate their sheer existence, and project their angst upon the rest of the server.
It saddens me to remember the bright and limitless potential that the Project had back in 2007. BEFORE NILBOG STOLE IT FROM YEAHLIGHT, (see eqclassic.org) then ran off and made his own sandbox because Yeahlight refused to release an unfinished server.
You wanna know why so many basics including but not limited to boats, doors and mage bolts work so well? that was a guy named Yeahlight. He doesn't care anymore, he started his own business and is raking in millions.
So as you can see, this project was tainted from its beginning. The very concept of "Project 1999" was born of treachery and dishonesty, and it has shown through, time and time again.
