All Sleeper Server Threads Moved Here, Love Sirken

Yeah, they said while I was getting things set up and working during beta that exp was about nine times what they planned for launch. They purposefully had it jacked up so people wouldn't have to grind out levels.

This is actually (one of) the things that led to this launch having so many damn issues - noone spent time at low levels. Supposedly they spent a lot more time on higher level areas and raids, but I don't have a ton of hope that it won't be screwy there too.

The proper way to do this launch would've have been to go through, zone by zone, every mob and their drops. Instead, it seems they just started playing and only fixed whatever people explicitly brought up. And some things that they did bring up were also ignored (with no feedback).

I wonder how Velious launch here will be. I remember when epics launched here, even with nilbog's team and the testing, they were all jacked up - at least, the monk epic was. Not one part of it was without error. All the spawn times were off by a factor of 10, Eejag didn't leash, almost all of them hit for the wrong amounts, the graphics on some were wrong, etc. But I did the same thing then that I'm doing now - report a bug, and move on. I think it took about a month to get those fixed here. Just saying we shouldn't hold one group to standards we don't hold the other. In the end, the monk epic was completable, just like on Sleeper, it's playable, even with the ever growing bug list (or as I call it, shit mountain).

It nevertheless speaks volumes of the state of P99's metagame when such a monumentally terrible server can draw like 200 players, almost all of whom can be assumed to be from here. P99 always had that giant elephant in the endgame room, and now nothing new has happened for two years. Even an absolute joke of a server apparently looks tempting to quite a lot of people because this place is such a dead end these days.

The fabled 200. Kegz wont implement the "count" feature or put the population on the server select screen...I'd like a real figure from unique IP addresses to see how many are really playing, as in people not characters.

If that really is Toop then there's a hint of respect for following through on saying he was setting up his own server, but as mentioned there's more wrong over there than there is right. People want to see Velious, amirite? Well good luck getting there with that XP rate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Eh. I'm already 14 and experience really isn't bad in dungeons. Looking at his ZEMs, though, there isn't a 50+ area with a ZEM higher than 85, a bit troubling. Sooooooooo much shit is beyond words broken it hurts to play sometimes, but I do enjoy it, so... I dunno o_o

I agree. Despite the current flaws I still play there and probably why others do too.

Considering the fact that it appears to be a stock PEQ database with almost nothing changed/fixed, I'm not sure it's such a big accomplishment. The server has a chance to redeem itself if it turns out the level 50+ content is absolutely flawless, but it seems unlikely. If the endgame is as broken as the first 30 levels of content, that server is an utter farce for having been in development for two years and yet failing to meet even what little expectations there can be for a random emu server run by amateur hobbyists.

No interest personally.

Best of luck to the server and those who decide to play on it.
