P99 is a Meritocracy, not a Democracy

Most of it is factually bad. Sorry you haven't seen other loot.

I am sorry, but it's true. It's selfish and childish when you try to change a game to match what you want. There is a reason why multiple games exist. If you don't want to play Call of Duty, the answer is to find another game, not complain until Call of Duty becomes a fantasy RPG.

Same with P99. If you want to play an MMO where you can get loot fairly quickly and easily, that is basically every other MMO in existence at the moment, including the TLP.

Let people who like competition play on basically one of the only servers left in the world that allows it. Stop being so silly.

Wow, you're a poor sport. I was encouraging you!

I am not a poor sport. You simply need to be more clear if that is what you were doing. I cannot see your face, or read your mind. Typing in simple, vague text is easy to misinterpret.

I really don't understand how people think they are being the selfless ones by trying to change one of the last MMO's that have competition. You can literally play TLP and get everything you want due to instancing, which is the logical conclusion of what the welfare pixel players want.

I can only assume you are just too cheap to pay the money, which is why you want to throw a tantrum until P99 becomes more like TLP.

Ops thread, ops tantrum mlord.

Man, I'm not even in this fight, but that was a wall of disingenuous arguments!

It isn't disingenuous to argue that player behavior requires a certain amount of controls be used. This is true even outside of game, with the forum bans and discord having slowmode/bans. During the greengrocer alt spam years back, players were told by staff that they could train any of his newly created characters to prevent him from spamming EC, because he would do it at all hours of the day when staff couldn't be on due to rl obligations. We were specifically allowed to prevent him from having more interactions with /ooc, /auction, and /shout because people didn't like trying to /ignore the long confusing names of his new characters every hour on the hour.

It isn't disingenuous to argue that alt armies parked at nearly every raid target create overcrowding the moment that target spawns. Players desync semi-regularly because of this. People can conceivably have or have access to more level 60 characters than there are raid targets in the game world, as opposed to the 8 characters and sole account most players had in classic.

By it's very nature, a PVE server "dictates less interaction with other people on the server simply because people don't like" PVP. Similarly, those who like PVP don't all like the same PVP. That's why there were different servers with different rulesets. We don't have that luxury here, so we have to try our best to compromise. The hardcore players have received the lion's share of content for years. Their concern may very well be that if they give an inch, the casuals will take a mile. This would be a legitimate concern if they weren't dealing with casuals who have little to no interest is dedicating the time required for daily/weekly forays into ToV, PoG, etc.

Subject: PvP server


This is taken from an interview with Brad Mcquaid and PC ign:

BM: Several ways, really. First, the PK switch which

allows players to choose whether they want to be

involved in Player vs. Player combat is turning out to

be a HUGE success. We launched Phase 4 with 5

regular servers and one unrestricted PvP server. So far,

less than five percent of Phase 4 testers have chosen to

play on the PvP server, and the majority are choosing to

play non-PK on the regular servers. Clearly, the players

have spoken loud and clear on this issue.

Also, EverQuest is a very group oriented game. We allow the

players to form groups and guilds, and to share

experience and loot, and to communicate globally. By

creating a more cooperative game, players are finding

both the need and desire to work together with others

and not just perceive another player as a target or a

victim. It’s really refreshing to see.

How do you know it's nonsense if you don't know what it is? 🤔
