Good Bye P99

[rjw513]

Sorry no participation medals

I think I am pretty happy playing even solo without stuff like Jboots, I play differently now after 3 account rerolls. Jet setting around the world on a druid is fun for a bit, but gets old fast too.

Currently bound in thurgadin, about a 15 min run from my camp spot, and I'll let myself get way bogged down with a ludicrious amount of loot and big heavy bags, got 10 sow pots in the bank incase I want the run back to exping to be more like 8 minutes.

I think on green it would be even easier to just organize grps with a wizard buddy and go selling at ToX rings, no amount of plat is gonna be too heavy @ that point and i'd make a trip every week to the bank.

On live, stuff like jboots was a puller item. Or a wizard item. A lot of other classes really didn't need it, or prioritize it. Even then I remember really long pulls (like 1 minute running to find a mob) on my SK in OT without jboots, and having a 300 range bow was super duper elite.

Why'd they get rid of the item?

Hello all,

My name is Woodark and I've been playing P99 since the Green server opened. After taking a 20 year break from EQ, returning to a Norrath full of active and passionate players is probably the most magical thing I'll ever experience.

As many of you know, the Locket of Escape was removed from the game on Tuesday (12/8). The devs forgot to remove the list feature and folks that were on the list (myself included) continued to complete AFK checks for a couple days until being notified that the Locket was removed. I submitted a ticket and this is Menden's response 1 week later:

"I can understand your frustration. And I will say this was oversight by staff, but we will not be handing out lockets to players that were on the list."

When I opened the ticket I explained that I wasn't asking for a locket specifically, but was hoping the GMs would try and make things right. I'm disappointed that the GMs take zero accountability for their mistake and for this reason I am leaving P99.

I would have accepted a sincere apology, but I don't think it would have been too outrageous to give the 3-4 players impacted something. I think back to the 3v3 arena event where the GMs were giving out black sapphires, rubicite armor, and peggy cloaks (just for sitting in the audience)... Or the monthly open raids where people that don't even participate win god/dragon loot... *sigh* ..

Thank you for the adventures! Good bye Norrath! I will sincerely miss you.

The patch notes have been research and publicly posted on p99 for years now. How about some personal responsibility?

Considering that you say in your OP that you would have accepted a "sincere apology" as compensation to "make it right" --- I don't see how this incident is anything but a non-sequitur in your decision to quit playing EQ.

The GMs and Devs have literally poured years of volunteer work and money into this project. Trying to insult them with this post is a joke. Calling Menden out for not apologizing to you? It's a bull poopie move.

Also, folks rage quitting EQ b/c the game screws them over is classic as heck.

Either your not being completely honest (maybe with yourself) or you would have quit soon anyways.

I would agree with this if they were actually following those patch notes and not shadow nerfing things and removing things outside the normal timeline and not announcing it.

What you say is true, sometimes...but they have by and large followed it. And, in this case if the OP had checked it himself he would have at least seen in writing that they were scheduled to be out, and that the other items in the same patch were known to be removed by just reading the forums that day.

Within hours of someone posting the question to the forum Nilbog personally responded to let folks know that the /list shouldn't still be there for that item.

I'm not saying that EQ doesn't deal low blows to players (its practically coded into the game since live). I'm saying it has nothing to do with the OP saying he would be cool with the whole situation if the GM had merely apologized about the situation. Its a total non-sequitor.

The OP is claiming that the whole reason he quit is b/c Mended didn't give him a sincere apology? He's either too weak for EQ or he is being dishonest.

well in all honesty it sounds like he hasnt quit based on previous responses. also if he did respond to that question and there were still active lists a game wide message announcement doesnt sound like a hard thing to do. I pay way more attention to these forums than I should which is one of the reason I have decided to play other games if any at all. however, its not unreasonable to think if a person is camping a list camp they arent going to be glued to the forums. they are going to be clicking that stupid box that pops up.

[Fammaden]

I would think the kind of person who is doing list camps would be more likely to keep an eye on the forums than Joe Casual. And also probably be talking to people at the camp, maybe in their guild, to know that other legacies have been removed. One would think you might put enough pieces together to question if the list is accidentally still in place or not.

You should try red. No item loot though, but you would enjoy questing, and occasionally pvping.

That sucks, sorry dude. Take a week away and see how you feel before committing to leave P99 behind. You'll make a better decision that with a cool head.
