How was ring war even possible in 2001?

Patently false. People do shit all the time they don't enjoy because they're addicted. Go look up the sunk cost fallacy. That explains the vast majority of people that play on p99.

Oh come on. That is so sad. We’re here to play a game. It’s fun! If you feel this way I advise you to make yourself busy with other pursuits.

At this point I've "played" p99 longer than I have played live, or at least been semi engaged with the p99 world.

Yeah alot of us, myself included have pissed and moaned about "not classic whatevers".

Real fact of the matter is that nobody knows to an exacting standard what "classic" was anymore. alot of code was lost/destroyed/sabotaged over the various hand-offs from verant to sony to daybreak.

Rumor has it that TAKP is the next best thing to actually being a "classic" server, because someone walked out of the building with that code on a disk, because they were pissed off that verant ignored and later abandoned the Mac server. So if thats true, it really is the most classic server in existence.

After all the whining and complaining about this and that, alot of us forget to ask the only question that matters:

Do you have fun and enjoy playing EQ on P99? Yes, we all do, or we wouldn't be here complaining about it.

Played both p99 and takp. Both servers the mobs are tuned about the same. So this thread is hilarious to read.

I haven't say for example, compared the hit damage of 'a froglok krup knight' against the same exact level/class/geared toons on both servers simultaneously, but my starting experience on TAKP was definitely a feeling of, "Things are a little bit easier" This is before AAs, or bazaar gear.

Now, xp definitely IS buffed on TAKP (they did that on purpose), thats not what im talking about.

I mean the starting from scratch experience on either server. P99 seems to be more unforgiving when you've got nothing but a few pieces of leather, a rusty halberd or tarnished shan`tok.

Again, i think this is a good thing. All of us know exactly what to do and when to do it in this content, so buffed mobs will slow us down a good bit and make us have to try harder to progress though the limited content.

zero reason or justification.

the reason and justification was literally in the post you quoted lol

We don’t know important mob stats like their accuracy, avoidance, attack or mitigation. These values being ‘best guesses’ means no matter how well implemented accurate damage in/out by players no matter how classic the rest of the melee system is.

Not one single fear from dragon roar?

Definitely not classic.

Also: wtf has an SoD and Willsapper on a warrior still wearing Crafted?

This is a deep fake.
