Good Bye P99

100% understand your frustration. 100% think GMs should have given some people some lockets. 100% think this post is kinda whiney and silly.

Imagine sitting in a list for days.

The pixel sickness claims another elf.

I can see both sides of this one. On one hand, if you're about to spend literal days camping an item, you should be prepared for the possibility that you won't get it (whether it is due to internet going out, real life interruption, or a bug of some kind). It's an absurd length of time to dedicate to a video game, and you should have some perspective on that. Also, praising the game as a dream come true (for free no less), then complaining about not getting an item that you most likely wouldn't have gotten back on live anyway, is pretty silly.

On the other hand, there was really no reason not to hand out some lockets due to the list being left in. It did kinda give the impression lockets were still dropping, and I seriously doubt a handful of extra lockets in the game would somehow ruin the integrity of the server or something.

In short, poorly handled all around.

Its classic. No one was informed during classic that lockets ever stopped dropping. Move to resolved.

Yeah I did 26 hours (or 25?) for jboots and noped out of any others. I'm too old for that kind of stuff now. I did get on the guise one though because it was empty one day and that went quickly enough since I started at #1.

JBoots was fun for a while though - I was level 40 or so, so I kept pulling open named mobs for the group in the wee hours of the night. Several people got FBR's, black tomes, traveler's packs, and some bracers so at least they got something if they ended up dropping off the list. Also, it helped me stay awake so win/win.

I think I am pretty happy playing even solo without stuff like Jboots, I play differently now after 3 account rerolls. Jet setting around the world on a druid is fun for a bit, but gets old fast too.

Currently bound in thurgadin, about a 15 min run from my camp spot, and I'll let myself get way bogged down with a ludicrious amount of loot and big heavy bags, got 10 sow pots in the bank incase I want the run back to exping to be more like 8 minutes.

I think on green it would be even easier to just organize grps with a wizard buddy and go selling at ToX rings, no amount of plat is gonna be too heavy @ that point and i'd make a trip every week to the bank.

On live, stuff like jboots was a puller item. Or a wizard item. A lot of other classes really didn't need it, or prioritize it. Even then I remember really long pulls (like 1 minute running to find a mob) on my SK in OT without jboots, and having a 300 range bow was super duper elite.
