Haha, tables as an SK must have taken 10+ minutes per kill. It was all about duoing CoD with a paladin or Water with a shaman. On the plus side, I was able to solo Trak, Talendor, Gore, Sev, and Zlandicar during the 65 era - SKs were really good in old content.

afaik vs, talendor gore sev where soloed by paladins in lvl 60 in luclin.

first sk to solo trak was aswell lvl 60 his name Merodeador in luclin (first sk to max all aas in luclin serverwide and massive boxer aswell)

item loot from pvp on vallon zek, so they created Sullon Zek and had an option to "transfer to SZ" then over half the community wanted to move so they just dropped item loot on VZ and said if you wanna transfer still go make another char over there

EVE has had the spaceship equivalent of a sit-in at least once that I know of.

which is why i love that game, and the fact theres only 1 server, and decisions goonfleet(CFC) make influence everyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

monks were a great afk class for this reason. They just had to lay out whole pull.

I've heard this said often, but the truth is that monks are funnest when played like ADHD poster kids. Pull, beat, repeat until clerics scream for mana. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd be surprised if any of them were doable at 60 or it would have been posted that someone did it before me on SK.org! The difference in damage intake ( both melee and spells) from Luclin to PoP is gigantic. Furthermore, SKs definitely don't have the sustainability at 60. Touch of Volatis (your standard -200 MR check lifetap) resisted frequently at 60, only Touch of Innoruuk (-500MR mod) reliably landed. Paladins didn't really get good solo heals til their Nife set.

Trakanon at 65 required SK PoP HT to prevent him from gating. You had to clear nearby adepts/priests from the banish point then pull him. Fighting him at the spawn point didn't work. I don't remember non-SKs doing him until 70.

Furor posted good rants on their forums. I mostly remember him complaining constantly about ogres having frontal stun immunity and he had to suffer with not being able to hold aggro because he was chain stunned.

I remember E`ci forums from back then, and all the bickering about raid mobs, and flamewars, and complaints about cockblocking and dirty play and everything. Either its time (and age) or the fact I've been through it all in a past life that makes the drama on P99 seem so tame (or the fact I'm in the current top dog). I play a lot, still (again), but I definitely don't take it as seriously.

This isn't a complaint, but a memory bored into my brain, was the PoFear camp. CT would spawn and the uberguild broke the zone, cleared it, and killed CT. Then when repops started people would come in and camp the zone in a public sort of pick up raid... pretty much continuously. I remember getting 46+ and spending every night the next 3 weeks in PoFear killing repops (as an SK. Pallys were there 2x as long), with a pally or druid as a group healer, 2-4 groups. Usually someone talked a cleric into coming to support the effort and rez the occasional dead. Looking back at this now, it seems insane. But so does some of the stuff we do on P99.

There are rumors afoot of a Ranger sit-in being held in the Ocean of Lost Fucks. Zone yet to be released. Stay tuned folks!

Lol...

I remember the first Ranger sit in. GMs started porting us to random zones or kicking us from game. We kept logging in crashing the zone though until Aradune came and spoke with a few leaders and then we dispersed.

i remember the monk sit ins, not the rangers.

While I actually like Vanguard and hated to see it fail, the vindictive dick that I am, I, personally, chuckle when I think of the original verant team eating it the way they did. Karma is a bitch and he and his boys caught it good with that one. Most of them got fired in the parking lot. And I hope one of them was that fat fucking nerd Abashi, who was the gerbels of the original game. He was an asshole and, clearly, enjoyed every bit of it. To put a person like that in charge of community relations and to allow him to behave the way he did is inexuseable. He abused his position to harrass players, showed nothing but contempt for the playerbase in general and there were even examples of abuses towards the volunteer server guides. I hope he never got another job in gaming after that, because he didn't deserve a career after his behavior...Unless it was with Sigil and got canned in the parking lot with everyone else because that gives me warm fuzzies to consider. Fuck that asshole. Fuck all of them, frankly. When they were on top they chose to treat their customer base with nothing but contempt and I, personally, have no sympathy for any of them. Yes, it was that bad.

Abashi loved to call me out personally on the forums, but I never held anything against him personally.

Never heard Monks complain. Then again I only played release until end of Velious. Monks were one of the best classes by far in classic/kunark/velious.
