Im glad you n00bs are migrating to qarm or what ever that lame server is called

Then maybe the GMs can focus on things that really matter (PVP) instead of dealing with 2000000 elflawyer petitions about how someone stole your quilmane and you cant do anything about it because you are a coward who is afraid of PVP

Quarm helped me quit EQ. Quarm is just new, but gets boring extremely fast with fast respawns and loot pinata. They have no economy what so ever as well.

You don't even have enough peeps logging into your sever during prime hours, for an Emperor Crush raid. That is why you spend all your time here on the forums trolling. No one over there to play with. ...LOL

Do you people actually play on the server, or just haunt the forums and offer gloomy points of view? Of course quakes bring people back to the server; they’re fun, there’s competition, and people can earn/spend their dkp. It gets people to log in, which has a cascading effect into the longer term. They then have to login to redo faction, recharge items, restock consumables. The point is that it stimulates activity and provides a focus and direction for many people who might be undecided or have other games competing for their attention

Your assumption is correct, these pve n00bs dont play. They sit in the comon tunels in full ntov with nothing to use their bis gear on and post in the forums.

The True Questers play on RED99

They're not getting money for running p99 so they don't care if you play it or not. They're also dedicated to running a mostly classic experience so they're not going to turn it in a loot piñata to attract new players.

Seems like you don't want to play classic EQ and that's alright.

So was it not classic last year when there was nearly 50% more quakes during the same time of year?

Quakes didn't happen in classic. I think live saw a lot more server resets due to weekly maintenance, not sure how that worked on the raiding scene.

Live didn't have velious on farm status for 5 years though.

While it's true that a quake is a simulated repop exclusive to P99, the quake was designed to be an on demand substitute for the weekly maintenance repop that came from server resets or from spontaneous resets that happened time to time. So quakes themselves may not have existed on live, but repops did, and they were weekly during this era.

Insisting quakes did not exist may be true, but weekly maintenance repops did exist, so you're just dissecting the choice of word, and it is not an argument made in good faith.

You don't think they get money for running p99? They get donations. Albeit, I'm sure it's slowed quite a bit in the last year or two and that's why I feel like that's why there is almost zero sightings of the big wigs anymore since they're in the end stages of what they set out to do and all they can do is cycle servers in classic and have what, only 2 or 3 current servers per their agreement with daybreak? I know they made a killing when they turned on ads during the whole celebgate thing went down. But their interest in this project is just non-existent anymore or they would have put forth SOME kind of effort in the last couple of years to maintain interest but it's clear they give basically fck-all about anything anymore except for maybe milking what's left with the least amount of effort given. But they definitely made money. I dunno why they chose to just allow things to die a slow painful death with all the effort that was put into this thing in the beginning, unless it was just their agreement with daybreak that kept their hands tied, but like I said, it feels like they made theirs and are just milking what's left and letting it die a slow painful death 🤷🤷
