Green = Blue's demise?

Hahah, and its a fantastic time. Have you watched the stream? We're great, people love us.

Plus, the income from Twitch payed for a new AC unit and a vacation this year. It's a win-win.

And I think that's all great. More power to you. Unlike the above poster, I don't think there's wrong with getting stoned, playing a game with someone you love, and making a little cash on the side. That's awesome. I stop by from time to time and I've enjoyed what you do. But why the need for trolling about blue on here? Makes me less inclined to want to watch your channel, not that I expect you to change your behavior based on one forum rando's thoughts.

I have opinions man, just like anyone else. I would rather people know me for who I am, and have less people watching than pretend to be someone I'm not in order to please people. I have to do enough smiling and nodding at people during my day job, I'm not going to do it in my off time, too.

I legitimately think Blue is a very poor representation of classic EQ and has been for many years. I will continue to share that opinion whenever the topic is brought up and actively steer people away from Blue whenever possible.

It's this last part that is so abrasive. Why do you care? Obviously Green isn't hurting for people. People are loving green. Even if you think Blue is a poor representation of classic EQ (jacked spawn rates are certainly classic...), why is it so important to you that it dies off completely? There are still plenty of people who enjoy it, and you believe, for some reason, that they should not. This is the attitude of a solipsistic jerk. "It's not just important for me that I have fun, it's important for me that people who are having fun in a different way stop doing so."

I just think you need to not take it so personally.

I played a bad version of a game for a long time, now the good version is out and I think it’s superior in every way. Sometimes the subject comes up and I give my opinion. If you’ve ever said a bad thing about Daybreak TLP then you’re guilty of the same thing.

If you’re very careful not to say negative things about bad games then more power to you, you’re a less offensive man than I.

You've never raided, nor have you ever hit 60 despite having all the time in the world and gear to do it. Yet P99 Blue is easy mode? Beating EQ isn't a thing, but if it was you've never been even close on Blue. You went from being slightly agitating to just being a straight up overly opinionated dick in short order.

Based on comments here you've also never played actual vanilla EQ back in 1999/2000. There's nothing wrong with that and I wouldn't normally point that out about a P99 player but stop acting like some sort of authority on EQ when you clearly know and have experienced only a fraction of the game both during and out of era.

I played EQ from 1999 to 2004 when WoW was released. That doesn't make me special but my point here is that I know what Velious era EQ was like. By Velious, guess what? My server (The Rathe) was incredibly similar to Blue outside of raiding where we had a rotation instead of the FTE mechanics you see on P99. Characters were twinked, I had millions of plat by trading in EC. The main difference was that most of the larger tradeable items from Velious era raids were not really circulating on the open market until the beginning of Luclin and fewer of the high end raiders had enough time to earn BiS no drop raid gear. P99 Blue is an incredibly accurate representation of Vanilla-Kunark-Velious and if you had actually played during that era and made it to the end game you'd have a fucking clue.

Green is great. I'm glad it's a thing. It is making quite a few people happy. It's bringing out the worst in pricks like you though, for whatever reason.

For real Hefe, you have issues.

You think the classic experience is having millions of plat and he's the overly opinionated authoritarian?

For the average person? Of course not, nor was that the point I was making. My point was that there were millionaires in Velious of 2001 so it should not be surprising to see it in Velious of 2019. Alts were twinked in fungis and CoFs in 2001 so stop making baseless comparisons. He acts as if leveling in 2001 Velious was some sort of sacred shrine of rags and rusty swords. That’s revisionist bullshit.

I have a fungi and cof on blue.

I had nothing close on live.

Is blue accurate or inaccurate?

You could have easily had both on live.

The answer: accurate.
