Hot Zones on P99

You can blame anyone one you want, but at the end of the day the only people you can legitimately blame are Rogean and Nilbog (the same people who've led P99 to be the massive success that it is today). All that "same group of neckbeards" is doing is saying what Rogean/Nilbog would say if they didn't have better things to do.

This is not "Your Project". It is not "Project Democracy". And it is definitely not "Project 1999 Except For That One Thing From 2007 That Bob Wants". It is "Project 1999", and Rogean, Nilbog, and many others have devoted a huge amount of time and money to making it exactly that.

Think of Project 1999 like an art project. If you happen to be able to gain some enjoyment from the (100% free) art then great! The artist worked hard and it probably makes them happy to know that someone is enjoying their work. But you don't go in to an art gallery and start yelling at the artist to change their painting because you think it would be better with more red ... even if it really would be better with more red. It doesn't matter: that's not the painting the artist wanted to paint, so if you want more red go paint your own painting.


EDIT

And before anyone jumps in with "but what about un-classic thing X?", yes, the project isn't perfect, but every compromise has only been because the P99 team felt it was necessary, not because they like having things un-classic. On the contrary they are constantly working to remove un-classic things (eg. light blue cons).

Don't be triggered Lora. This has nothing to do with what I said lol. I was specifically talking about the thread and threads similar to this. Not the implementation of said threads' contents into Project 1999. I was letting OP know this is the kind of response he will garner from a portion of the community who frequents the forums.

And no one holds it against you for being a neckbeard. Honestly, it's okay. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This.

I for one would love to see people leveling in Gorge of King Xorbb and Warrens.

Edit: Also, were footraces to raid targets classic? I don't remember [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why not make a thread and get something started? The zones are available 24/7, give them a try <3

I'd rather bitch about it on the forums.

people don't group at CT because almost everything casts, a lot of stuff CHs, and then you spend half the time running down a winding tunnel, blind from lizardmagics with a horde of stumpy-armed lizord mans in hungry pursuit

Sigh, I miss CT

Bump.

There's gotta be more people that agree with me.

I would love to be able to go to CT and form a group there without having to beg ppl to come. I'm fairly sure on live this wasn't a problem because ZEM's weren't known. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

You must be new here. This is never going to happen, no matter if every player on the server unanimously agrees with you (which they don't).

You also said "Well, lots of things aren't classic now that were implemented to extend the life of this server." Like what? The list of non-classic things they did on purpose is very small, I can't think of more than three. There is a bunch of them that they had no choice about. The things they did on purpose that are non-classic all have a good mechanics reason....hot zones do not, they are just one more thing that the devs would have to keep track of and change and settle arguments about.

I've been here for 2 years.

Have you ever tried to farm anything in Velious? Why do you think it's so hard to get anything to drop? This is one of the major contributing factors thar are keeping high end players interested in this server.

Changing the exp value for a zone would just be changing a multiplier in a formula. Not complicated at all.
