Green Monthly Open Raids Canceled

^ this. Of all the differences between actual 1999 EverQuest and P99, the raid scene seems like the most unrecognizable. And yet people, especially aligned with the status quo of the server, want to point to this imagined version of actual 1999 EQ as some appeal to authority that gives them free reign to behave like greedy children. Always been baffling to me.

I honestly think it stems from 99% of the p99 raid force having 0 fucking idea of what live raiding was actually like.

Well Kunark still hasn't started so there's a chance for everything to do a 180 and be super chill and relaxing after this week.

Some of the people on p99 weren't even alive or old enough to actually play classic EQ.

This speaks volumes towards solutions. The solution may already be in place.

Its not a solution honestly... the situation is only temporary and as soon as the "hardcore" guilds are unbanned blue will be right back to being the way it was in a couple of weeks... the problem p99 faces is the neckbeards have tried to turn an MMO into an esport.. and EverQuest was never designed to be played this way

Theres two ways to view this game:

One is that its a museum to a piece of gaming history, and our personal history as well. A chance to celebrate what was and where we came from with people who shared the same path as ourselves.

The other is a midlife crisis style chance to relive lost dreams of being a 'competitive' gamer in a game that makes classic wow look mechanically difficult by comparison.

One of those views attracts and keeps players..
One of those views drives them away over time... ill let you decide which does which
