Dude, Xeffo, you seem WAY too hung up on your past achievements from over 15 years ago. Every single post you make mentions some accomplishment that honestly nobody really cares about. I get that you're proud of them but try to relax and just enjoy p99 for what it is; a trip down memory lane and a little bit of fun. Or don't.

It's almost like I assumed people play this server because we all had nice past experiences and were trying to relive some of the magic of those. By sharing my stories I'm trying to relate and find similar people and maybe somebody I knew to play with. Most of my posts are written during hp/mana regen downtime. Maybe part of your trip down memory lane includes crocheting or doing crosswords during that downtime but I'd rather do something else like posting about the game I'm playing. I haven't a single negative interaction with anybody in-game or on forums until your little reply, so I'm gonna choose to hope that your snide attitude isn't the norm.

xoxo hug kiss

Hey man, let him reminisce. He has all these nostalgic, very memorable experiences and seems to be feeling chatty about them. Some people may enjoy or relate to them.

That being said, I remember 15+ years ago how in Velious my ranger learned you should never lick the yellow snow.

Hope that don't bother you, me sharing that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He's not just reminiscing. When he's not bragging about what he did back in the old days he's being negative and criticizing p99. It's not just in this thread but a few others including Reddit. Either play the game or don't, stop whining about it.

You know, I was going to write up a pissy reply to you, but I don't think that helps either one of us. I went back and read my reddit posts and I do agree I've been a bit braggy. There are plenty of other Povar/EQ memories I could share but those would be even less interesting and fall even more into the 'nobody cares' category. So I've shared what stands out the most to me in my overall experience.

I'm not entirely sure how you came to the conclusion that I'm bashing or criticizing p99 though. I wrote extensively about Verant/SOE, EQ live, pulling, and engine issues, but nowhere in there have I said anything bad about p99. In fact I've had nothing but good things to say about the server so far (edit: aside from the lag), not running into a single negative character in game and being absolutely floored by the kindness of random strangers. Perhaps you're conflating my criticisms of the original game with p99? I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm sorry I've rubbed you the wrong way.

I'm playing EQ2 atm, Xef, the lag killed me daily on the P99 server. You think your SK gets tricky, try a wiz [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As far as what we did after EQ, I became a university professor...go figure.

Right on! I'd never have the self-discipline for a job like that, haha.

How are you liking EQ2? I don't really know much about it.

[Beryl_Shadowhawk]

EQ2 surprised me, I never tried it before (EQ2 launched at the same month as WoW). Everything about the game seems polished. It looks good, plays well, and constantly reminds you that you're still wandering the EQ universe. You can try it for free up to a point, but you'll need to sub for the end game raiding. Like p99 it has a lot of friendly players, even if they seem few and far between early on.

This desktop rig I'm playing on is 6+ years old, do you think it would run okay? GPU is a Radeon 6700, cpu is an i5-2400, 12gb ram, ssd. I do like the EQ universe and how expansive it is, so I'm curious to take a look around EQ2 I guess.

[Beryl_Shadowhawk]

That's about the same rig as I'm running, just using an R7 video card. Pretty sure you'll be fine.

Povar/Xev here:

Ketilron - Rogue

but far from Uber. Never hit past 46, in a casual guild (Knights of Reverence). Quit not long after Luclin. Always looking to go down the nostalgia highway. Mostly just puttering around on low lvl toons here.

I played on Povar as Venefica back when it was just Povar. House of Serenity, Aquilo Phoenix, Unleashed, and one or two more iterations in between those...
