Because much of EverQuest is the journey, not the destination. The end game was never awesome and is even less awesome on this server than Live. I am of the opinion that end games for mmos are generally not awesome, which is why it makes me sad so many of them have the mindset of "get to the level cap and now the REAL game will begin" (which is usually dull).

The meat of this game during this era was always in the exploration of new areas, bringing your group to dark corners of Norrath, killing mobs that few people ever saw. You can still do that on p99. To me that's the reason to play. No matter what anyone says there's still things to do here that few people ever do, and things to see that few people ever see, even 17 years later. I know because I bring my static group to these areas and very few people are ever there, if anyone.. The population concentrates itself in a few zones, leaving a lot for others to see.

I've been playing for close to three years on p99 now, on and off, taking my time. It's a long trek to 60, and it can be quite enjoyable if you do it right. People who rush to 60 just so they can sit at the firepots in NToV and wait for the pull team to give them a dragon to kill confuse me. On one level I get it, people like having the best pixels, and this is one of the easier ways to get them. But that isn't me.

The point is that EverQuest is what you make of it. Don't worry if you are not planning on being a top end raider. There's tons to do even if you're not.

This is one of the best insights I have ever seen about P1999 and MMORPGs in general. It is indeed all about the journey. Savor it and enjoy it. Stop and smell the roses. Think about the good friends you'll meet along the way as you explore Norrath.

Don't fall sway to the siren song of the empty promises of the raiding culture and let the ultra-achievers dictate your pace and what you can and can't enjoy.

Look at all the acrimony these raiders are experiencing on these forums and in-game as they squabble over a few pixels. Why would anyone ever want to race to level 60 just to be unhappy?

Nobody wants to rush to age 60 in the real world, why then is everyone rushing to level 60 in EQ?

It's better to be a lv 60 non-raiding casual with a sow sword than it is to be a lv 60 non-raiding casual without one. Besides that, it's better to not be lv 60. Or lv 60 on your alt or lv 60 on your alt's alt.

Yep, you could be like that schnickasaurus guy and live in EC with 50 mil plat ripping people off and have no life except in a game where you makes lots of money. It's totally the way to be.

I am angry about other people behaving as I do not.

I am fully aware such actions are perpetrated with the sincere intent of slighting me.

End this travesty of my well-founded preconceived notions of how the world ought to work!




ME!

Not a fan of that guy at all - what did he overprice you on?

I like his attempts at giving "guild discounts" and when you look up the price he's offering it to them for, actually it's the going rate according to www.p99auctions.com

Isn't that exactly what that weird lichx/brawlx guy does and when you disagree he goes off the handle and insults you like crazy?

It's not that bad - the FORUMS are the worst of p99. Players on p99 are generally good people (generally being an important caveat).

You've used up your cuck forum allotment for this week. It will reset on Monday.
