Gave up on my bard at level 28. She got boring :(

Going back to classic nostalgia of an Erudite necro. Already level 10. Oddly, no one wanted to take the name Aatrek??

The only thing that's biting me in the rear end is how the starting factions for Eru/Nec aren't like classic. I'm KOS to all int casting guilds in Neriak. I made a post about it in the bug forums, but I doubt they'll fix this inconsistency.

Anyways I need an invite, but it's hard finding an officer online.

Always thought there was a rule against a guide or GM playing on the same server while retaining their staff access on P1999. But apparently on red, there is a guide who is also free to play his normal character. Normally it wouldn't really be an issue, but considering Red99 gets almost no attention from GMs/guides in response to petitions regarding trains, LNS violations, spam, all around dickery(they do help out greatly with the corpse summons, bugs etc usually but the rest just sits there forever or gets deleted outright). Anyway, a few times now people have ran into this player, who apparently has the o-k to play and guide on red at the same time. I have heard a few incidents of people getting instantly suspended by said guide within minutes of an incident occurring to him or around him pvp or pve related. Just makes me curious, He can enforce the rules on the spot whenever he deems fit. But other people who have to deal with the same bs or worse, nothing. It wouldn't be so bad, but apparently hes very open about it to the point of sending tells on his non-guide character saying "see ya in 2 weeks!" before person gets suspended. I always remember this was a big no for the server, Maybe I misread and it was a GM-only thing. But on red, Suspensions still go a LONG WAY in creating issues. Obviously the staff are unpaid, deal with lots of bullshit they shouldn't have to put up with etc but I don't see how this isn't a conflict of interest. Yeah he cant summon items or do major stuff like a GM. but again, being able to suspend someone for a matter of time or indefinite until a GM can resolve an issue(on red this can take weeks or longer to resolve) it can put people out of play for a while. Hopefully just a few actual violations where the person did something rule breaking indeed otherwise when this person hits 60, no one will even dare go near this person unless they have multiple characters to play if one eats a suspension.

FWIW I recently started boxing on p2002 and despite the low population at the moment, it addresses the majority of my frustrations with p99 (a single server not being meant for 8 raiding guilds for one). And the devs are actually responsive and it's not Classic in spite of what is sane. If you're getting bored with p99 give it a shot. Velious just launched and Luclin is up next (some Luclin stuff is already enabled like Vah Shir/BSTs and Luclin spells).

P2002 and TAKProject are both newish emulators that are or will be PoP era EQ with a 3 box limit. TAKProject aims to replicate EQMac and is using the Mac (or hacked up for PC) client. P2002 are people who were involved with TAKProject but splintered off to do things differently, and they are allegedly less focused on remaking EQMac. Also currently uses the Mac client but may use a PC specific version eventually.

I haven't played on either server, but if you want something with boxing, moon cats, beastlords, AA, and PoK (eventually), that has fewer real people playing than Red99, then they're worth checking out.

also p2002 is entirely a clone of takproject with much much less dev work done on the part of their staff(vs the TAK staff) and only serves to splinter an already small playerbase and should be THROWN IN THE loving GARBAGE

For one, I am not agatha. so maybe re think your own posts first? This happened to my friend and guildmate after he went from a simple 2 week suspension which turned into a 4 week suspension after poo poo-talking in game to the guides regular character. After which a counter petition and a talk with a GM had it reduced back down to a 2 week suspension when he apologized. Also I feel no need to drag names into it because I don't want to fuel it, seems like just posting about it here was bad enough so I will leave it alone. fyi I don't read any of those p99 sub reddits so, no idea what you are rambling about.

Been having fun with KC pick up groups the last week or so and managed to get my gnome rogue, Shonen, to level 53 this weekend. I strongly encourage the Something Awful P99 community to shower me with haze panther armor at this point in time. Every time I try and say what's up to an UG member they all shun me and act like they don't know what SA is. :ohdear: A guild I had never heard of asked me to join while in a basement group so I got tagged and am enjoying green text.

Agatha duckman isn't pwnz0r, I thought the same thing for a while.

Tinfoil aside that's rather concerning if a guide is actively playing a character on red. Definitely not something that's been allowed in the past. The really concerning part is that they made another red player a guide, that position is just as cursed as "gbs mod"

I'm pretty sure I remember in one of GG/Moregan's stream interview tell-alls that it's policy for guides to be able to play on the servers, even while on their guide accounts, but they're not allowed to be in the same zone as their own character, interact with their character's guildmates, or get involved with any guiding surrounding their character's actions. He told the story like he didn't get why he couldn't be in the same zone as his play characters and that it was a dumb rule.

At any rate, I would assume that Sirken and Rog keep a pretty sharp eye on guide actions these days given the bullshit explosions of the past year or so.

I finally motivated myself enough to get the hell out of Kunark. I made very steady progress for a while, and then I had the brilliant idea "Hey if this small relatively unknown dungeon like MM always has a group imagine how packed a zone like Lake of Ill Omen will be"

For the past two weeks I've been camped out here, a few partnerships one or two fort groups, but mostly I log on /who and go play diablo. I finally learn MM is a big leveling hub, I only went there for the first time because I happened to roll a HElf

I'd do unrest with cleric and SK until mid 20s though you can go longer if you get pit groups. SK might be rough in the house if you're a troll/ogre - lots of ducking required. Highkeep goblins are great from 25ish-35ish assuming you can get in the group and there's no high level dicks farming ears, so that might be a good place to get through 30 on your enc. You could also go to Mistmoore with all of them and just play whichever has a group available, though the ZEM and XP per mob isn't quite as good as HK or Unrest.
