That sounds like a bunch of custom faggotry to me. I wonder if the people running this server have anything to say about such things...hmmm.

Oh, here it is.

Rogean tells the vztzject masses:



The vztzject masses still cry that the server isn't closer to VZTZ.

Confirmed a bunch of inbred downies.

Stop trying to troll the communities polite dialogue..

There is already a compromise xp bonus in place on the server to help people get to the higher levels and it starts at 100 percent. There is NO need for more of this and it would hurt the integrity of the server to make it higher.

What people need to get through their head is that the game does not START at max level like every other ezmode game out there today. EQ is about lvl 10, its about lvl 19, its about level 37, its about lvl 45 and everything in between. Thats the draw, that what is unique. More xp bonus would hurt the whole system from the ground up.

The problem is, too many people here, are here for counterstrike-with-elves and NOT for classic EQ. Classic EQ is about the slow growth and achievement of your character.

I see noobs leveling up everyday in game. lowbie groups filling group slots, etc. EQ takes some player inititive, its not for the lazy. But that makes the end reward all the sweeter.

There is one thing and one thing ONLY that the server needs at this point, and thats kunark. Kunark along with some good word of mouth and advertiseing in the month or two weeks leading up to it. Period.

The Rogean issue... I think many people have hinted about this now here and there. For some reason he is in charge of patches. Everyone wants patches more frequently but that takes Rogean doing something to make that happen. Is there anyway we can give that responsibility to Nilbog? And while we are at it, lets ask the blue server if they'd please take Rogean and let us have Nilbog as the dev in "charge" of our server.

Red needs the attention more at this point, and Nilbog is a lot more hands on and active. This probly needs its own thread and a thread in the blue section,begging them to let us have Nilbog in exchange for Rogean.

Nilbog...... PLEASE give blue99 to Rogean. Tell him how many more players blue has and how more "glorious" it would be to be in charge of that. You come here and be in charge of us [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If no exp change is done, the server won't need to be given to anyone, because it will be shut off within six months.

Server already has a xp bonus, and its very large at the "critical" lower levels. What more do you want? People can get into the 20's, by then they have formed in game friendships, maybe found a guild, and they use those connections to /gasp PLAY THE GAME the rest of the way to 50.

Its the natural progression of EQ and the life of a EQ character. /speedracer to 50 is NOT the EQ way and the various systems and beauty of EQ break down when that happens.

I repeat, sever already has a XP bonus MUCH larger then blue99.

Its time to look into the mirror and blame yourselves for not being good in game community members and helping the new people.

The ONLY thing we now need, is sky to come out so Kunark wont be that far behind. Kunark will be a whole new world from lvls 1 to 60. It is known.

I also am not that worried because the devs here know classic EQ and wont be trolled into takeing this hard worked on project down the wow-ezmode path. You all should give it up and instead of crying on the forums all day, get in game and help the noobs.

Rogean= DONT be trolled into increaseing xp anymore. Its fine. Players just want to be lazy. I see noob groups doing their thing everyday in game. I buff and help them when I pass through. If all others did the same instead of griefing all day like was the case in the past, our pop would still be in the 300s. (and can be again once kunark comes out)

9 people in game right now, server fine

"I see noob groups doing their thing everyday in game" - delusion at its finest.

Ok, please, if you ever listened to one statement, let it be this:

THIS IS ABOUT NEW PEOPLE, NOT POWERLEVELING OR ALTS
People who can get powerleveled, are already 50 (hi most of Nihilum's recruits from blue). This is about luring new people in, and luring those back who quit before 50.

Do you realize that in all your posts you sound like the crotchety old man sitting on his porch yelling at all the kids who ride their bikes up and down the street?

"Oh, back in my day we didn't have bonuses. I fought in world war two, you kids have it so easy today!"

This is not about getting insta 50, this is not about alts, or powerleveling. This is about getting those people back who quit, and getting new people who want to try "EQ Classic PvP."

Yellow Text, HotZones/Bonus EXP Weekends, truely fixed resists all go along way.

The same way winning at tic tac toe is less meaningful than winning a game of chess or Risk.

Even with a server thats stable and as close to classic as project99 is, a portion of the playerbase doesn't want classic (while many say they do), another portion doesn't know what they want (while they think they do), and yet another part still won't be happy no matter what happens. All the meanwhile they actively engage in tearing down what we do have in favor of what they want even when its statedly not what is being offered.

I know what I want - to log in, be able to find some dudes to progress my toon with (exp/items/dungeons/raids) and have fun fighting both the environment (pve) and players (pvp) to accomplish it. Thats classic EQ. I know because I spent thousands of hours playing it (Rallos Zek 99-01).

People need to figure out what they really want. If its classic EQ, they should play and enjoy it for what its worth (imperfect classic EQ - with a very part time staff). If not, people should find a better classic EQ server (there are none), another game or a modded server that removes the grind and gives them the more instant, but less enduring enjoyment (tic tac toe).

You fall into this category.
