I plan to briefly talk about Chardok AE in one of my upcoming videos. As a large portion of my viewers don't play p99 I just want to be sure I have all the correct facts on the subject.
I have been playing on p99 since 2013 but never bothered looking into it while it was active. I know that it is a subject of contention amongst players on this server.
From what I have somewhat pieced together during my time playing, seeing the spam about proxy groups in EC tunnel and looking from the outside in:
Several high end players would gather together. I assume lots of enchanters for AE stun and lots of classes like wizards for AE damage. A monk then goes and pretty much pulls the entire zone to the zone line, then everyone else spams AE stun/nukes. My guess is there are spots in a "damage group" that get sold to people so they can sit there and soak up the XP.
Basically what I am asking for here is specifics.
- How many people were needed to do this?
- How many spots were sold per pull?
- How did they ensure that the paying player was getting the XP
- How much was the average price per pull (2k?)
- What was the average XP gain here like for the people who payed, could they really get from 45 to 60 in a matter of days?
- How much did each of the high end players get paid for the service?
- Was there specific mobs the puller had to target or did he just grab everything he could.
Don't spare any details and please feel free to tell me about stuff I have missed. I want to read it all.
Thanks.
