Will Hybrid XP penalties be implemented on Green Server launch?

[platapus]

I think I see your argument Zur...

I could see how someone would want players on the green server to behave more the way they did on live... and how these PnP changes you pitch could create that.

Like, the PnP on blue may be fine, but perhaps to re-create the way we felt back in 1999 what Zur suggests is more ideal? Guides and GM's, even the developers, nobody knew what these types of games would be like, so its true, it was basically the wild west for most players back then, maybe to get that classic feeling Zur has some good points? Although...

Unfortunately... I believe what you ask is not possible due to the physical laws of our universe!

The PnP rules today are designed such that it creates, the overall FEEL of a a classic server, on a server populated with hundreds of players that are playing with the combined knowledge of thousands of adult children who have, data-mined, logged, mapped, and planned out every possible strategy in the game of everquest for over 20 years.

Not to mention p99 players have honed their skills in the first three expansions for almost 10 years using and developing these mostly public strategies (THANKS LORAMIN :P).

The PnP today creates a more simulated version of what YOU experienced in 1999 as a cuckhold beta boy that got railroaded by young adult losers (who have long since died of heart attacks from clogged arteries) that would steal your camp every time you logged on after school.

I know you are trying really really hard, to recreate that ruleset, so you yourself can roleplay as one of those alpha players that pushed you out of every zone, but.. the sad news is... if there was a PnP that allowed for that type of play, you would be kicked out of every zone, by the extremely skilled alpha players of p99 today.

So like I said, what you seek is unfortunately not possible.

Perhaps one day, when we can delve into the multiverse, or maybe after we are dead and ushered through the pearly gates, can we can once again feel what it's like to play everquest having never seen or played anything like it before.

But as mortal men (and women, and whatever you are in between) we are stuck with the best we can simulate, thanks to a PnP that has been developed with the community for going on 10 years.
