Am i the only one that comes back to check the forums every now and again to see if Velious has finally released......

ONLY TO FIND the same nerds that have been playing this shit for 5 years doing the same thing every single day argueing over the same shit they did 5 years ago?

how the fuck are the devs motivated to keep this shit going?
I like to think sometimes that P99 is an elaborate scheme for a thesis in social psychology or run by the FBI/CIA as social engineering experiment.

You just thought you were just playing Everquest. You're really the test subjects of someone's thesis.

I got you on the 100-200 to start at the same time thing man.

I just don't think there's that many new people to pull from the hopper right now.

It's going to be like blue a... steady trickle.

Most of your best quit, I agree. Look around you. How many that were there for the initial VP train wars vs IB are still around? Not too many.

Some burn out and are replaced by others. Blue isn't going to get a fresh 100 just like red won't.

What I'm asking is 6 people from blue come over with fairly common play times and report their adventures as testimony. Hopefully they draw more. They can accomplish this while having another EQ window open selling their blue stuff in EC.

Then hopefully maybe one day red will be ~350pop-400 and blue will be 750 pop... or at least a ratio around that with red being ~half of blue. It should resolve red being empty and blue being over crowded at the same time.

I mean it sounds interesting.... but I don't think I can stomach another character level through Kunark.

Honestly... Maybe like 6 or 7 who are semi active.

Funny thing is Druushk Dies....IB sees their tactic of Training Hoshkar into the pull path didn't work after Kiting him for 6 minutes..... We drop and clear all aggro on our pull....

[Tue Nov 11 21:42:11 2014] Hoshkar engages Maori!

They have the nerve to immediately pull the Dragon again and kill it after kiting it for 6+ minutes. Only dropping it long enough to try to interfere with our pulls. There is no spinning this man. I imagine Sirken being there saw the same things we saw.

Sitting a whole guild in an area he will path over to chase after a person he Trak Touches doesn't make them eggs one guild is breaking. It makes them liable for any aggro they incur because they put themselves in that position. If you knew a train could come roaring down some tracks and you park your car there. Is it the trains fault for destroying your car ?
I agree with the second person's quote. It has always been this way and people have been punished for it. I am glad they support the rule set and logic that if you agro something, you are responsible for all actions of said mob.

I am glad the second person is putting the first person in their place with lack of knowledge and lack of respect of the play nice policy.

Which is why you were always a worthless GM. This cultivates a culture of victims. Increases petitions and adds an incentive to purposely placing yourself into "oncoming traffic" so you can sue for damages. Disgusting attitude to have.

Or just don't train shit and there is no oncoming traffic to play in.

It shouldn't be any wonder to the staff why most of the pro players quit playing blue. Raiding in VP is fucking retarded now and there's not nearly enough enforcement on the rules and the spirit of the rules. Blue is retard crybaby petitionquest central now.

Eliminate the stupid fucking rules and just let anything go in VP. Less headache, more fun.
