I really wish someone would post a screenshot of this "Stay off rock" NPC. I'd go look myself but then I'd have to key Mcoy and the chances of someone wanting a 50 cleric in seb at king nowadays are negligible.

Thanks for all the free rezzes, Mcoy. Here's a couple screenshots, just for you.

Kiting was never intended. Gnomes weren't meant to see through walls or fit into the hole without a key. Bards swarm kiting wasn't intentional. Fear kiting and finding a spot in the zone where the pathing is extra favorable and it just goes back and forth.... figuring out the exact location of a safe spot is in a dangerous dungeon (chardok stairs? sebilis crypt corner?).

All these things are part of everquest, and 99.9% of the time they are fine. But now and then GMs decide it is too much and crack down on it (which is weird, especially with pathing... since pathing knowledge is often used when fear kiting, or even just where to camp and pull to do your mob doesn't run into trouble when it gets low life).

You can't play everquest and say you hate bugs. Everquest is a giant bug.

Thanks Palabin, appreciate your perspective, and all that you bring to the community. I can't say I hate bugs, but not a fan of exploiting for gain.

In your note it feels like you're justifying <Seal Team> using pathing exploits to pull Myconid Spore King more easily?

These types of tactics are explicitly notated as not being acceptable by p99 staff. This is not at all the same as say fear kiting or sitting in a spot where mobs have no line of sight on you (crypt safe spot). Finding a spot in the zone where the pathing is extra favorable and it just goes back and forth, but can not hit a player, is an exploit, and it is prohibited. I do not believe a GM would now give you the thumbs up if they saw you using this tactic continuously. And this is exactly how Seal Team pulled the first Myconid Spore King.

Is it odd that the official firsts lists here: https://www.project1999.com/achievements.php shows a <Seal Team> first Kill for Myconid Spore King but nary a note for the first Fungi Tunic?

November 07, 2020 - 09:01:34 AM Kill Afeign, Cragzana, Kashandi, Khave, Meathoook, and Yojimbo, of <Seal Team>, were the first to slay myconid_spore_king

Friends in another guild killed King the following night, they got Two Tunics and a Robe of Living Fungus. The Achievement for the robe was received but not for the Tunic. I guess <Seal Team> let the first tunic rot?

Let's edit the wiki with who got the first legitimate Fungus Tunic.

We can also leave up the aforementioned exploiting persons and note they got the server first illegitimate fungus tunic.

My pals, who legit got the tunic first, right now

Turn it from a brag to a name and shame?

I like it. Name and shame hall of fame. When kunark dropped on Blue there was a guy banned for boxing and he was recognized with a serverwide "first" message.

Thats the rock friends pulled king to on red99 for years after letting people camp kings for them

It’s like the crushbone rocks you could dance between to make the trains path around the entire zone lol (Since fixed thx 2 me)

Nice

Seal Team pulled and killed the server first Fungi the same way we are pulling and killing now. I watched a video from the monks POV from the pull and it was as clean as could be. You guys can thank the fungi farm crews on the beta server for stay off the rock, not Seal Team.

Also,

WTS Fungi Tunic 400k, or trade for 2 manastones

Disgraceful excuse for an elf. You are what we call a "dirty beard." Not just a neckbeard, but a dirty one.
