Jesus christ I can't believe I'm doing this, but ... I'm going to defend Zura for a moment here (sort of).
Look, Zura is just that kid that believed all the other kids because he wanted to be cool. Like when a bunch of boys say "it'd be cool if someone stuck firecrackers up that cat's butt", but they're just being boys and no one is serious. Well ... except for that one boy who doesn't quite fit in, but desperately wants to. He goes "yeah, that'd be cool", and both because he wants to belong, and because something's not 100% right with him, he actually sticks firecrackers up the cat's butt. And then he doesn't understand why all the boys reject him afterwards. What I'm trying to get at is, we're the rest of the boys. We have a "classic fetish" here, and we compete over who knows more about how classic really was. Whenever R&N drop some patch that makes the game objectively worse (eg. removing pet windows), the "cool kids" all cheer and tell anyone who complains to go back to live. Collectively we are not honest with ourselves about how some shit in classic really, truly, sucked. We all want to look cool to the true "cool kids" (R&N), so we defend classic no matter what. In a way, we're all responsible for this thread and Zura's mad crusade to make Green "really classic". Zura is our creation, our "golem": [You must be logged in to view images.

Rogean the other day on his stream said "people didn't DPS race in Classic", which is absolutely incorrect. He doesn't know what he's talking about and either hasn't seen the facts, or refuses to face them. He should admit he is wrong and stop trying to wrongfully defend this Green ruleset on the basis of it being "most faithful to the 1999 environment". Whatever his decision is for the ruleset, is ultimately whatever he wants, since he owns the server. But using FALSE statements to defend his opinion, is absolutely not tolerable and should not be accepted by anyone. If he would just admit he was wrong about how 1999 EQ worked, and give reasoning for why this ruleset is the better decision (in his mind), while keeping an open mind about why something else could be better, it would be a lot more truthful and wise.

Your line of argument is like calling a basketball player a sociopath for ever trying to score a 3-point shot or pass the ball far across the court, and demanding that everyone is only allowed to make 2 point shots, in a single file line, while walking slowly up to the net. Yeah, cause that sure would be an interesting game, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Quote:
With classic 1999 ruleset, people get to compete for general content without playing all day, and regardless of what guild they join. Whoever makes the best group and wants to go fight for it, is going to get some wins. You can go in somewhere with your 6-person crew compete for a camp; doesn't matter if "uber guild xyz" is there or if the same person has been sitting there like a vegetable and trying to hoard the camp all day/week. DPS count caps out at what a single 6-person group does, so whoever puts the effort in to maximize that effectiveness and find a good place to fight, is always going to be competitive. Quote:

I don't know why you all are giving the OP shit. He made some valid points. You should earn what you get in game. In any game really. I also get why they made the changes they did. People weren't pulling the crap on live back then that some of them do now. Not really. Honestly though I think everyone should wait and see how it actually works in game before forming an opinion about whether or not it is a good or bad idea. I'm just saying.

You're forgetting the biggest difference between P99 and classic that can't really be changed (or you would bitch about just as much if it was) that's FORESIGHT.
There weren't guilds permacamping manastone and guise in classic. At least not any more than people camped FBSS or other cool items. They didn't know the item was going to be removed one day so there wasn't an obsession with having it. Unless you get rid of those items from day 1 of the server people know they're going to no long drop one day so everyone has way more interest in getting it while they can than they would have during classic era. | ||
