So has the Ratting Rapture happened yet? Are all ISKtar hulls now nothing but cold floating husks endlessly drifting through the dark depths of space?

(I am legitimately curious.)

There were pages upon pages of discussion from a few weeks ago where people were predicting the end of AFK ratting as we know it by hot-dropping interceptors swarming Deklein post-Rubicon. I am referring to that.

Is enchanter charm busted on this server? I remember getting my enchanter up to 29 or so and charm only lasting a good 30 seconds at most. (with ok cha gear) Or does it get better with higher level charm?

I've been playing my enchanter quite a lot these last couple of weeks. Charm works quite well for me. Even with a charisma in the mid 100s, I'm still charming the gently caress out of blues. Evens and up are too dicey but I have very few problems charming a blue and letting it cage match another blue. Breaking charm and nuking both when <20% has gotten me from 16 to 31 in no time at all.

All this talk about Knix has me curious. I always knew her as a caring mom type (with super loud frogs in her yard) but she got all cold when VD joined us. I still talk to her from time to time even though she's "in the evil empire now". Her words. :v

If Chest gets any sort of power on this server, God help us.

It'd probably be worse if Shinko got power. Then again, everyone would know it was him immediately from his inability to type simple words properly.

It'd be best if he started streaming it too, so we could hear his extremely distinct voice. Maybe he'd mask it.

Active raiding guild leaders, raid leaders, and officers have been GMs/guides before, not to mention devs, so there's a precedent for all of these things!

EDIT: Yes, on P99.

So I read the thread on the P99 forums about the DDoSing. Sounds like they have implemented changes to their datacenter's networking and set up an attack profile to intercept the incoming traffic flood. A few posts make it sound like the lag only lasts for a few minutes at a time before the profile is recognized and service restores. Anybody able to confirm this? I'd like to log in and play, but I'm scared to go level in Ocean of Tears and then have to do a corpse run because of DDoSing. :(

Also curious if the exp bonus is back up to 50%, and if so, for how long? Rogean posted saying it would return to 50% on the 18th of this month in honor the of the EQMac shutdown, but he didn't say in that post how long it would stay at 50%.

Lag is definitely still happening, so avoid dangerous soloing endeavors far from your bindpoint for now.

XP bonuses are a fairly whimsical affair on P99. It may take a bit for the 50% to get reinstated, but once it's back it will probably last for weeks longer than originally intended.

Are you implying the 50% bonus is NOT currently active? Just curious, as I never saw a firm yes or no for it being back.

Finally making it into a level range where there will be more players & places to group instead of a few scattered spots! It's such a difficult thing to be used to playing as a mage--able to solo whenever and wherever you desire, only to find yourself playing as one of the most group necessary classes.

Also...anyone have the following items to sell cheap/give away:
Brigadine Tunic
Executioner's Hood
Hero Bracer
Mithril Vambraces

If you didn't give your stuff away, that means someone else has access to your account and stripped you. Might want to change your login.

I have no idea if it's active and I don't think anyone else does either because Rogean rarely does a good job about making sure people know what's going on. I really wish they'd go back to using the server MOTD for useful things.

Anyway, I have some rogue stuff for you and will be happy to pass out invites and newbie cash as well next week when I have time to log on again. Hooray for holidays!

I tried to join BDA for some raiding but honestly unless you're a student or can randomly wake up at 3AM to kill some pixels it doesn't seem to work out very well. I can play weekday evenings like once or twice a week and weekends and I think I only managed like 2 raids in a month.

Cool, thanks. What's your name in game again? I forgot to add you to my friend list the other day. What do you think about Taken? I got a friend in there I might go play with.

Edit: I'm working part time right now for maybe another month or so I got a little time left. It looks like my Taken friend is quitting so I'll apply tonight and give it a shot.

FYI, BDA doesn't really do the 3 am raid bullshit. We have a batphone and all that, but we generally go for targets by doing farming near targets due to pop (like golem farming during Trak, Fear / Hate when gods are in window, etc), plus just normal Sky raids.

TMO/FE-IB, yeah, they're the guys fielding raid forces at all hours. We'll pop a batphone at that time (if you're on the "24 hour" list), but realistically that's not anything we're interested in.

And if you really WANT and MUST kill gods, you have to join one of those two gods. Most likely TMO for the current endgame.

Every goon in that guild should have invite capabilities, if not, see if you can find me online. I've been sparse this past week or so due to extensive shooting of mans in battlefield 4.

I'll be around some this week to do more invites and O-tagging. There's over 20 people with officer tags, they're probably just being lazy. I'm probably going to make my druid's info relatively goon-public again so there will be an officer tagged porter for people to log in and scrape up new folks.

You can check if you have officer by doing:

Then if you do, just do /guildinvite.

I have officer, and would be happy to invite any new Iksar on Kunark. I am back to leveling at the Warslik Woods giant fort at the moment. Just send a whisper to Xeirak. I am usually on every evening (except tonight I guess the power is out at my place... :argh:)
