You should thank him, scrub.

What do you see when you look up at the top left corner of your screen?



The entire point of the project, the entire reason you're even able to play here and complain about non-classic/bugged content is because people like Nilbog and Rogean have a passion for creating 100% classic EverQuest. Not "classic EverQuest with un-classic Goblin Ears", but classic EverQuest.

I've been here 4+ years and I haven't seen anyone (aside from the staff) contribute as much to the project as Rygar: he's like a one man QA team. (To be fair, I think Daldaen contributed a lot too, but much of it was before my time).

Anyone who appreciates this project should appreciate Rygar.

Yes, because this server is super classic... wait a second, its not even close. Its classic content yes, but classic as a whole? That laughable.

Should we really turn this into another "Shit's classic, Shit's not classic" rant? Take a look at the raid scene and tell me how "classic" that shit is.

You talk like you've been here awhile and know the server ("Should we really turn this into another "Shit's classic, Shit's not classic" rant?"), yet you're pretty ignorant of how it actually works.

This "Blue" server isn't meant to be perfectly classic; it's the beta test server for the real classic server ("Green"). The entire purpose of its existence isn't to give you somewhere to play (that's a happy accident), it's to find stuff that isn't classic so the devs can fix it.

In other words, the entire reason you and everyone else who enjoys Blue is able to do so is because this server has value to the devs for their ultimate goal (a truly classic EQ server) ... and the entire reason this server has value to them is because of people like Rygar.

Stop it with the "this is Beta" bullshit. This is THE server. This "Beta" server has been around longer than other MMO's. You're dreaming if you believe that the Green server is coming within the next 5 years, i personally doubt its coming at all.

How long did you wait for Velious? How long have you been waiting for Chardok 2.0? They're still fixing stuff from Vanilla. What makes you think they won't be fixing stuff from Kunark, Velious, and Chardok 2.0 for many, many years to come?

Quite a bit of impotent rage around here. Almost like some folks "hate play" P99...

[Wonkie]

people get very upset when they learn they beta

[Foxplay]

People get upset when you take them off the unclassic binkie...sounds like the same argument when people playing an overpowered class in a new mmo gets nerfed. You know it's OP don't cry when it gets nerfed... Same shoe you know it's not classic don't cry when it gets researched and fixed... If you don't want classic go play Live, enjoy that dumpster fire

"Ruining goblin ears..." Lol that says it all right there

You confuse ruining with fixing

I thank you for the compliment Loramin, you have aroused me as only a Sadiki homo-erotic adventure could (another of my community contributions... I'm due for another chapter).

I indeed have the bug report sickness, I've been focusing more on minor polish tweaks lately (missing hail flavor text, trash mob loot tables, mob sizes, exp camp details, etc) which makes for some easy research. I haven't done much 'major world changing' research in a while.

I give big props to Ele (to date the ultimate research master that P99 has ever seen) and Daldaen (a great mechanics junkie and overall knowledge master). I think Raev, Pasi, and Nirgon have really helped bring a lot of stuff up to date, but they were more active before my time.

Wish more people looked up some details to be honest, it's surprisingly easy to find. The ZAM page for a mob / zone shows pretty old comments that can give you a reasonable idea if behavior / drop table on P99 is accurate, and google newsgroups are easily searchable.

I get it though, when I was an exp / grouping junkie I could barely be pulled away from EQ (helluva drug).

You really have to slow this video down to .25x when you watch it to appreciate it.

Hokushin and Mahavishnu are so skilled, that within .25 seconds of Cekenar spawning they are both able to execute an engage at the exact same fraction of a second. Amazing talent here. Simply amazing.

I do not appreciate the pixel sickness I just witnessed
