Do not allow gnoll fangs to drop if killed by a level 18 and above

These forums are a terrible advertisement for the server. One of the worst forum communities in the history of gaming. It's just greedy people, epeen kids and those turds from red who spam every thread to try to get people into their garbage server.

One of the worst forum communities in the history of gaming.? Not even close. You must not get out much.

If these players are such veterans, they should realize what they're doing there is a horribly inefficient waste of time.

20-30 in three hours? I wanna meet that PLer. And he said levels 1-20. And he didn't say HE was on his 7th character. Just a lot of people are. And solo a dungeon in the middle of nowhere... Dungeons are, by definition and their ZEM, not the middle of nowhere. Kinda an oxymoron. And LASTLY. If I'm mooching from a friend, and it is going to make me level 3x faster than just leveling alone... I'm going to go with the leveling alone method cause I have more respect for other people's time than that.

I think our forums have a lot of less than helpful folks on them but a lot in the Server Chat is due to people misposting that threads become like this one. The OP wanted to RANT not to get constructive advice. People offered constructive advice and when that was thrown in their faces, folks realized the real nature of the thread, and that is what it became.

Try not doing it in Unrest, competing with 20 players for spawns..

1-20 is even less of an issue with a 60 druid PLing.

Why cant a level 7 go into Black burrow and have a good time, expecting to have a few mobs to kill?

This is pretty much what classic was. Instead of a bunch of newbies or pseudo twinks, we have odd behavior by bottom feeders. Same result.

I've been on this server for like 3 years and I've never seen any more then 2 people in BB. When did this become a thing? 1-5 newbie area 5-12 CB/gfay 12-24 unrest 24-40 mistmoore 41-51 CoM leveled like 8 chars never had an issue.

For the last couple months at least it has averaged 11-15 people in BB during US nighttime hours and weekend days.

Explains why they can't find any mobs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. BB can sustain a a group of 11s and a group of 6s and that is about it.

Honestly, this is not live. Things are different here. Very similar game but different community. You're going to be very disappointed if you try to hold on too tight your original EQ experience and expect to replicate it exactly here.

I'm quoting myself here because I think this is a point that many people are overlooking or not taking to heart. P99 is emulating classic EQ the best way it can mechanically. That is what they have stated as their mission. At the end of the day, you can't emulate the classic community and play-styles. If you want to argue mechanics, such as the reward given for the gnoll fang quest, that's fine, but the burden of proof is on you, the individual or group that wants to enact the change. No matter how many threads are started about the subject, without evidence being submitted through the proper channels, it is not going to change because someone thinks they remember it being different.

I never said you had to be any level of intelligent in order to level multiple characters in EQ. Many people simply have more time than intelligence.

Nikon, I stopped commenting on this thread mainly because it felt like it was becoming something not representative of what I was trying to convey. That is, somehow people believed I was angry about not having my share of gnoll fangs because of people farming them. It's more about how the zone is farmed by people who should have moved on to the point where there isn't crap to kill for the folks that belong there.

That being said, I am not sure how to go about doing what you said, providing proof that it is broken now as compared to 1999. Am I looking for an archive of official patch notes or something conclusive like that?
