The real problem with p99 isnt the game server, its these message boards. Its overwhelmingly negative in a way that the game server isnt at all. There's hardly any moderation: people are allowed to post as 50 different names, people hijack every thread by the third page with and return to the same handful of topics that belong in RnF, people are allowed to quit or get banned and keep posting two years later about how much it sucks here.

I absolutely understand why it is hard to find people to trust to act as guides or GMs on p99, but the owners here should strongly consider getting some forum moderators that have zero in-game power who can clean this place up. That would also free up the guides/GMs that have been vetted to deal with in-game problems.

If you don't like RNF then fuck off and don't click on it, the rest of the server forums are heavily monitored and all the posts in here are people jacking around at work for the most part. Saying RNF is ruining the server is like saying "i got AIDS because I was sad" ....it makes no sense and is baseless

The server is bleeding population and its only slightly higher when more people are at login screen when durgans are in window. One of the last rumbles right before Velious launch brought in 1571 players or whatever it was, which was a record. This server will never hit that again. Friday and Saturday nights lately it barely breaks 1k. This population will not go up. In August the population was up a bit higher but after August it dropped precipitously.

P99 is plainly a pet project and nothing more. The "word is out" that this server is a shithole. There's nothing "classic" about it anymore, which was its selling point in the first place. The staff really doesn't care either, and that's 100% their prerogative.

Cater to the neckbeards who ruined this server and ruined the classic EQ experience or strive for a healthy server population and unique ways to attract new players. The choice they made is clear.

You truly have no idea what these servers are about

Typical from a newcomer though

Oh, brother.

As a member of the FA raid alliance, I'm annoyed by such a long suspension over something that was clearly not intentional; however, a rule for this is clearly needed. You cannot reasonably expect both raids in a highly contentious race to pause 15-30 mins while we review each others' fraps and litigate if a concession is in order. So there is a a potential problem that someone will take FA or RT's word on what they have fraps on -- only to find out the whole thing was fabricated. That is what this rule is intended to prevent.

I am worried that the practical consequence of enforcing this rule however -- will be that both guilds take more of their problems to the server staff than working it amongst themselves. It is way better to hold on to your prof of a false concession for Sirken in order to get a month suspension, than to address the issue with the opposing leadership and getting a 2 week concession agreement -- which I'm sure both FA and Sirken would have preferred in this situation.

I think there needs to be stricter guild lines about false concessions. Namely, you should have to attempt to work it out with the opposing guild's leadership before petitioning.

Rather than fixing trains, Sirken makes the bold decision to outlaw lying. Let's see how this works out (lol it won't be good)

rampage conceded for 1 hour.... CT spawns within 3 minutes, FAT kills CT, FA kills Dagarn before hour is up. Jimmies rustled

The guild who cried concede, it was bound to happen eventually. Hilarious stuff!
