Hello, P99

[Mardur]

Most gaming forums make this one look like sesame street. Kinda goes with the competitive culture. And EQ since the beginning has been about social interaction, reputation, competition, and fucking people over.

So far I haven't found the server to be nearly as closed-walled or angsty as I thought it might be. It seems like a lot of people really understand that this is the last bastion of classic EQ. It is pretty unlikely that there will be another MMO like it, so you should respect the game and the other players while they're still around.

WoW is a wasteland of adolescents endlessly repeating blatant carrot-on-a-stick time sinks. Minecraft doesn't even give you a carrot to chase, it just expects you to have Asperger's or develop it spontaneously. P99 sits perfectly in the middle: hard enough and small enough so that a real idiot has a hard time getting ahead. And it does a good job of hiding the stick that the carrot is dangling from. My impressions, anyway.

Thanks for the advice and in-game assistance, everyone. Hope to see you all around.

The funny thing is, most of the bitching and whining you see on these forums is done by the same 4 or 5 trolls that may or may not even play anymore.

The forums are the best part of the game, you skip out on them and you are missing out on the experience. There are people like me who consider the forums to be the real game and the game to be the auxiliary game; something that puts an image to the real game (real game being the forums).

I really hate agreeing with Mardur but he hit the nail on the head with this one.
