Yeah ill pass, I like PC games. P99 is all I play anyway, when I do play games.

Do you also own a car and drive it to one place every day?

Isn't the min/max in those games to roll around

Bit more to it than that.

Also got rid of steam awhile back, I avoid any and all digital stores. I have my own personal beefs with that.

You have a 'personal' beef with digital distribution?...Okay...

There are no hard copies, everything is made to baby powder our bottoms for maximum anal ease.

You are focused on butts a lot.

New queefs thinking STEAM is PC Gaming. I would be on Linux if they were doing something original designed for Linux only, instead they are trying to be Windows punk baby brother.

Namedropping Linux and being a Linux-purist doesn't impress anyone anymore. The 90's are gone.

Nothing of interest here. The barrier to entry would keep the 'I can't be bothered's' away. Trying to plug in their PS4 controller to play an MMORPG.

So you won't try an actually difficult, critically acclaimed, communally praised PC game because other people play it with a controller...Are those goalposts heavy at all? Because you are having no problem moving them.

With high number guilds competing for mobs the crawl will no longer happen, it will turn into a train away trash while killing a dragon like predicted.

There will be tons of players that will still log in to kill these dragons throughout this meta.

This.

Crawls are nice on paper, but in reality it's not really working out as the staff intended. Instead of training dragons now you just train trash. Now instead of needing 30-40 to kill a dragon you need 80+ and the biggest guild tends to have a huge advantage, so we've all but killed all the smaller guilds who had hopes of killing ToV targets. It heavily encourages leap frogging in the patch that released rooted dragons Rogean states that leapfrogging isn't against the rules but it's an asshole move, but guilds have no choice but to leapfrog if there is only one dragon up and 2 guilds are going for that dragon it's just natural that someone is going to have to sit back and pick there moment to jump ahead.

I just hate that we've basically killed all the small guilds at this point, looking at the list of old Kunark guilds, and the early Velious guilds, and then looking at the list of current raiding guilds makes me sad.

Rooted dragons are fun when there's a quake and you can decide to clear from eashen, trips, sisters or go west. Not as much when they are spread out over 3 days.

Great point. ToV and Rooted dragons is really designed for going from one dragon to the next in sequential order. Even with a quake, this isn't really happening since raids will hop over certain dragons to get to others first. The only way for NToV to be experienced how it should truly be is to have rotations.

But here on P99 the non-classic competition meta-game is more important than classically playing the actual (ie. dragon fighting) game of EverQuest. Just ask anyone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

1-3 Quakes a month would mean even <Qeynos Fishing Club> could get a raid mob

Any 'instance' vendor that sells items to ports to instances would make a great play sink.

The immediate hurdle I see is how to make the right people end up in the right instance. Might require the activation of the raid tool, adventure windows or whatever.
