You know what's funny about P99?

When you don't pay a subscription there's no reason to rush.

Shouldn't the player decide the pace and playstyle rather than an artificial regulation?

The goal is to recreate the live experience as close as possible. Hence that something from 20 years ago just might make it into the simulation.

This is on the top of the wiki.

Relive the Classic EverQuest experience.

You should really be playing on a PC that has an 800 MHz Athlon CPU and dial up connection if you want to recreate the 1999 experience. You should also have your mind wiped prior to playing.

Have you done any of that?

Why is there a penalty for playing a certain way?

That's what a "game" is when contrasted to an activity. For example, if you play the game in a way where you allow monsters to beat your HP to 0, you will be penalized with experience deaths, even though your "suicide" playstyle might be fun for you, it doesn't reward you, but rather penalizes you. If the question is "should it?", I would just say yes.

This is a very bizarre question :P

[magnetaress]

I never felt penalized by the game rules for playing a certain way?

Sure, just give me the ability of a teenager to stay up all night w/o feeling it the next day, free room and board plus allowance, and make the world a little less complicated/crowded. Wave thy magic wand.

My theory is classic isn't in the mechanics and it's never coming back. It's not even a culture. It was an event. A wave. Like Woodstock was. It's the good ol days and those who were are blessed with the memory. Whenever you think of it, I hope the clouds part and a god ray beams down on you and the bloom amps up and depth of field kicks in cu that's what we got now. I missed that boat. P99 is it's own thing. Regardless of intent. And no matter how far development goes or how indisputably accurate every line of code shores up to launch or whatever, we made the wiki, we read the wiki, we took the- the- well whichever pill it is that does the thing in the matrix. We took it. I feel weird now. No gonna stress it. Life's good. No rest for the wicked
