Can we talk about the future of P99?

Imagine if all the people who only hang on because of the sunk cost fallacy would go play on a server like quarm or thj where they would actually have fun. Blue might look like Red at that point.

I don’t know what is more sad: Just playing the sim you likely regret getting into or looking for the “next big thing” which is just another sim with a different coat of paint.

I won’t defend my time spent here but sure as F won’t go hunting for cracked staves for the 3rd time in my life. EQ is 95% community and routine, if you like your guild here there is little reason to leave.

I'm so jealous of anyone that is able to play eq right now... Even the red guys! I would do anything for/to anyone if it got me back in the pixals. I know, poor sad loser i must be; but I'd take norrath over any other addiction. I would love to be there with everyone; anyone. Any client, any server, any expansion, any class; guild. I haven't been on/in for over two years and it's miserable! It physically hurts to be without my precious! It's my joy; my happy thought; my soulmate. It's one of only three things that i have never desired to change about my past present or future. I totally see how pathetic that seems but i believe that the only purpose in life is to find the things that make you happy and do them as much as you can, and this is my thing. I am great at it, sure, but i spend almost every moment in game sharing my favorite thing in the world with any person willing to experience it with me. I love it so so much! I hope i find a way back soon... I miss everyone, even those of you that i haven't even met yet.

Used to play with a guy who was retired back in original EQ. I remember being soooo jealous that he got to play all day long.

Anyways hes probably dead now.

Most of the antimergers are in competitive guilds, many of them raiding on both servers. A merger means many more racers for half as many races.

This is why i don't care either way about merger debate. Just turn back on teal for triple the fun. We'll be playing on RGB servers while we legacy /list anyhow.

I'm in a moderately competitive guild but only play on one server. I hate the idea of a merge though, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

I've never understood this mentality on a classic EQ server. One of the whole reasons classic EQ is what we like is the lack of instances and the whole mentality of "I want to be able to do what I want when I want" not necessarily being catered to. Part of that includes competition during raiding, sometimes heightened competition.

If competition is a reason you wouldn't want a server to be more populated, then why play on a non-instanced server at all? Why not play on a server that has instanced raiding?

Just seems like going to like an Italian restaurant and wanting them to have Mexican food. Like why not go to the place that has what you want?

You assume we all play on P99 because of certain hassles instead of in spite of them. I don't care if there's a bit more competition, but right now Blue has a competitive but not overly toxic raid scene. There's enough competition to allow the neckbeards to flex, but there's still pixels to go around.

Honestly I'm starting to think most of the folks that are dying for a merge to happen are just the folks that rushed over to green when it launched so they could farm a bunch of pre-nerf items they hoped to sell once things merged back. The rest of it is just a somewhat plausible reason to say instead of "waaah, I wanna sell some of these mana stones". (Not saying that's you, specifically.)

Complaining that it's not hard enough to get FTE on raid mobs will never make sense to me.
