some people have to be banned to show the truth

save p99

many will be martyred on the forums to show that p99 is not classic or everquest

TAKP is way more accurate to the era it's emulating than P99 is.
The hyper-competitive nerd NASCAR lawyerquest simulator that is the P99 raid scene is an extremely far fetch from what raiding was actually like back in the day.
Big guilds with patterns of bad faith behavior are still around and still completely unpunished after years of forcing the entire server to put up with their BS.

*mic drop*

You say this as if it's one guild, when it's all of them - including Castle.

I agree with the first part - but pretending like there's a guild who is socking raid mobs that acts 100% by the book is not accurate.

Source: Furoar was leading raids in Castle last year and hes a scumbag

Emergent player behavior requires emergent dev action. This alone does not make something "unclassic". The very act of devs responding to unpredictable player behavior *is* classic.

For example, when EQ first launched /consent allowed you to fully loot other people's corpses. The devs quickly realized this was ripe for abuse and nerfed it to the existing summon mechanic. And when they did, I was the first one there screaming "this is unclassssicccc!!!!"

I didn't say this as if it were one guild. If anything, I implied it was multiple guilds by saying "guilds" instead of "guild".

99% of people in Castle had no idea of Furoar's background on blue and he's been guildless for a month now FWIW.

A year - to a year and a half into EQ, some of the highest level Enchanters at the time made no mention of Charm. Enchanters were generally considered mez/buff bots. Enchanter was also a fairly rare class for those of you who don't remember.

A website from 2001. They mostly viewed Charm as a form of CC, potentially high DPS, but not worth the risk in most situations. Definitely not something you would use in most groups. Contrary to what people on P99 claim.
