You might think you want those items, but you dont. Once you get them thats the end of it, make another alt and do it again. the rarity or having to work for it makes them have value to you.

You can get those things and more on Quarm but you dont want to go there because once you get it you will realize how empty it is to have it there because it has little value.

You dont want the medium, you just dont know that you dont want to do the grind on a server that has meaning to you.

My 10 or so days on THJ I was farming PoHate/Fear by myself and walked out with enough gems and other crap to buy my epics. didnt feel right.

This is a museum not some floozy on the dance floor saying "Play me."

For that you have to play the live tlp's.

This notion that people who batphone are pushing things too far is why this country elected Trump.

I happen to enjoy being woke.

What happens if people vote for the same mob? Is there like ranked choice or lottery?
The eligible guilds /random for pick order in a series of rounds. Each guild usually ends up with a list of mobs of comparable value.

To be eligible, you have to kill a Vindi. That's pretty much it.

I just wish they would abandon museum mode and start making "classic in spirit" changes to P99. There is a Ultima Online private server called UO Outlands and the Devs are so fucking good over there. They bust out new patches and new content to rebalance shit in a "classic to UO" type of way while still very much modernizing the game.

"Classic Everquest" did not have guilds with literally hundreds of bots. Every guild has COTH mages parked in all raid zones, entire armies of clerics and rogues, and wizards to port to the planes. And when I say hundreds that not an exaggeration.

prob is that everyone's idea of "classic in spirit" differs, just take a look at whatever the mighty duck fuck Quarm is.. one day that server will randomly have 1000 year old elfkin maidens who look like the Tarutaru from FFXI as a playable race.

A lot of the "as originally intended" is known though and, even when not, has already been changed (OOT boat direction).

Move xp bonus from halflings to humans. Craftable instruments. Unkempt druid alternative to Surefall, complete with different, previously unused rings. Sol Dungeon C. A functioning casino to high keep. A smoke shop to Rivervale and smoking items in the Halas shop. Miragul's Highway accessible to classes with picklock skill. Bard NPCs use songs, including selos indoors. List goes on.

Forget who, but recently someone has been uploading progress on a program that makes certain aspects of development possible/easier, such as building out whole zones, but IDK how feasible that would be, on top of what already needs work.

legit curious -- why does everyone hate on quarm so much?

i don't play there and don't plan on it, nor do i really even know what it is. looked it up on eqemu just now and it says 750ish average players but the "gm" of the server is secrets.. yikes
