I'm a nice person. When i started playing on p99 a few months ago, i was super social and tried to include anyone and everyone in my groups, even "non-optimal" classes.

The more i play, the more bitter and jaded i become.

The amount of bad and stupid players is staggering for a 15 years old game filled with "mature, over 30" people.

I'm not the best by far, i make honest mistakes. Sometimes there's confusion and lack of communication, i understand that. I'm talking about really basic things and basic game mechanics and paying attention to whats happening.

Sometimes my forehead is all red and swollen from the constant facepalming, i think i'm gonna need a cranial reconstruction surgery.

At first i didn't understand why would people want to solo in a game like everquest, where the gameplay is pretty boring and it's all about the "social experience".

Now i understand.

sometimes i will purposefully not tell someone about a certain mechanic so that i can watch the chaos ensue.. even if it means i have to lose 10% exp, totally worth it

EDIT: if someone asks me for help, thats a different story.. but that ungeared paladin trying to lull red cons? hehehehheeee so funny

90% of the time you try to help someone you get told off or ignored, it's better just to load up gate and get outa Dodge before the carnage starts.

Exactly.

Like i said, i'm a nice person. I'm careful about how i'm doing it, too. I send a tell, instead of talking in group chat, to not put the person in the spotlight.

I'm far from taking things too seriously, for real. I never rejected a rogue for not having his epic or a monk for not having a t-staff, for example. I always chose the player over the gear.

But being nice is hard when people don't know the very basic mechanics of Everquest at level 50 something, are not paying attention and refuse to improve even when told very nicely.

were all in this together

peace love unity respect


what comes around goes around

never forget who you are

when you love you leave the whole world blind

only when people stop loving power will the power of love overcome the love of power

even though nazis, there is still goodness in life

do unto others as other will do to yourself

a little niceness goes a long way

there is no i in teamwork

dont be sad because its over be happy because it happened to you

one love, one life

and that students name was albert einstein

You are simply right.

Saddest part is reading what you are getting as responses.

Be nice. Never forget.

Once you make it past... 35? Nice is out the window. You start working hard at Eq, so you put up with less. You become jaded, so you put up with less. You get treated with disrespect, so you put up with less. You become the thing you hate. Post 35 is the dark side.

I remember talking about bronze armor in the karanas with a small family group of EQers and thinking all was wonderful.

Ignorance is bliss.

And here I thought they were all just farming places like CB and Unrest blocking out newbies/lowbies from camps and throwing fits if the newbies ask them to at least leave a couple mobs in the zone for exp sake.

When you leave that LFG bard for hours while your group has a spot because its not top efficient.
When you call names that chanter for not remembering lower duration mez overwrites longer.
When you two man ragefire in front of that poor cleric waiting for spawn and ask him 20k for the heart.
When you claim "Hiero/Duke" solo in crypt.
When you shit on the kill rotation people took years to come up with.
When you ignore that noob asking for a sow.
When you tip 2 plat to this 39 druid who came all over dreadland to evac you.

Just try to remember this is an emulated server of a long gone game from the 90ies. We'r a couple of thousand people, most over 30, nostalgic and genuinely happy the server just exist.

Be nice.

most of these alleged thirty year olds are neck beards living in their grandmothers basement. Just look at Jeremy, over 2000 days played, but hes made lots of cash from RMT.
