Got some buddies to goof around in Red. I realize now maybe I should have started on blue after accidentally eating a harm touch from my friend instead of the yellow con we were fighting. I don't know why I had thought group members were exempt from incidental pvp damage. Is there really no way to turn this off? That seems like a lot of bard, enchanter, and mage utility takes a hit from this.

The lack of any kind of auction house is one of the most irritating parts of classic EQ. Jesus Christ I hate spamming EC. yeah bitch im a ~casual~

This is actually the thing that makes me want to play the game again. I liked knowing who the main sellers were, and actually being able to bargain. EQ was so personal on every level with its community. Modern MMOs completely miss this concept.

Keep playing on red. It's more fun and the chance of PvP makes the game entirely better. I'm level 35 and haven't been PKed yet so the game isn't a constant stream of being griefed. I'm not sure why all the blue players are afraid of red. I'm sure there are more goons on red but wazu and I play there and we'd be happy to see more. If you get a chance to join the guild sanctuary, do so. You'll get some starting plat and gear and it's super easy to find guildies to group with.

Red and Blue are variants of the same general fun. Blue is relaxing. Lots of great people and friends, and it has goons. The healthier server pop makes it a better showcase of classic EQ. Red is more intense. You acquire items primarily to be better at doing battle with those who seek to destroy you., and there’s this mini wave of relief whenever you spot a guildie in zone. Red suits me better, but I do like the occasional break and hanging on Blue. It’s like a vacation from Murdertown, with main downside being I also am unable to commit murder.

What Caiu's Robin hood style of gaming doesn't measure is his RMT banditry is like 60% of my motivation for logging back in on a semi-regular basis as a casual player with an account full of hard-earned classes. I'd like to propose an olive branch in memorium, open to anybody who wants to challenge themselves to write the best opening line that honors his infamy on p99 Red/Blue. This is a literary contest. Poems, odes, or prose accepted. Three winners will be announced by April 1st. Judging will be weighted with a Google poll to inform my final ranking. 1st place: Cloak of Flames (Skullmonkey) Runner-up: 5k worth of Velious tailoring combines (Klaymen, 165 Tailor) Dishonorable mention: A guided tour through an underrated dungeon of your choice. Name your escort class. Good luck!

The Last Binge (purge edit) Here lies feigned Caiu. See Caiu Cringe! Living like a Pons Star, on the fringe. All the neckbeards collectively twinged, And tried to claim that he was unhinged. He "stole" their recharges to infringe, But really took the rap just to impinge. Paid 27 grand with a banhammer swinge, It was worth getting rid of that EQ syringe.

Listen my goons of the legend That we all wish we could be ‘Bout dear Caiu, on P99 And his quest to R-M-T In East Commons was a tunnel Where the people came to trade They traded pixels for more platinum More than that admins forbade (Chorus) Go ahead and ninja raid drops Go ahead and cheat a pub Do it in the name of phat loots For which EC tunnel is the hub There won’t be any levels dinging Come the banhammer day On the Sunday morning after But twenty-eight thousand makes it okay So the pubbies of the server Yearned for weapons with fiery swirls Yet more platinum they still needed To impress neckbeards who play elf girls Came an answer from our Caiu, “Of my platinum I will share All I ask is for green paper For no more than what’s fair” The official forums cried with anger And the logs the admins watched So they banned our friend dear Caiu But his plan had not been botched Now the admins found his story On a forum gay and dead Clicked the thread and when it opened “LOL” Was all it said (Chorus) Go ahead and ninja raid drops Go ahead and cheat a pub Do it in the name of phat loots For which EC tunnel is the hub There won’t be any levels dinging Come the banhammer day On the Sunday morning after But twenty-eight thousand makes it okay To “One Tin Soldier”

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in East Commons.. near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And lizard lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Caiu, king of Project 99; Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

secret history by caicopius I have thus acted in the manner which my character dictated. Herein I lay the story of those actions. I was born a son under the red sun TYOOL 2014. Never had I played Everquest but had been intrigued by it ever since the television told me to purchase it long ago as a child. At this time one of those ever happpening GOONRUSH events were ongoing on the red server. Knowing absolutely nothing of the game I had seen a guide in this threads previous incarnation for PVP ranked by class. Based on that guide I chose a wizard and thus Rizen the wizard was born. Red sucks rear end so I won't bore you but eventually SLAMDUNKATRON(goonrush guild) died and I lost interest. I came back some months later and noticed that the economy of red had inflated quite a bit. I later found out this was due to a database error in which some random mob in cabilis were dropping merchant sellable items that allowed epxloiters to pull out 2.5k an hour of raw platinum. Anyways after seeing that I had at what the time was a lot of platinum and red being a dumpster fire decided to take part in some cross server trading. This was shortly before such acitivities were disallowed and the exchange rate was one red platinum for three blue. I managed to pull away a tidy sum and decided to pick the worst class combo that I could think of. Enter Steeks the erudite paladin. This was when hybrid penalties were still in the game and somehow I managed to ding the low 50's with no fungi. This was probably my favorite character since I really got into the gay, black holy man aspect of roleplaying a bit and would screw around helping noobs. Anyways I believe I hit a brick wall in progressing and making platinums. I really wanted to be a golden and blinged out holy man. Had to have that deepwater gaud, gnome seyan? So here is the point where I think my mindset began to turn towards the sinister and conniving which would soon enough be my hallmark. Decided to get on that there redguides and spend dollar bills on platinums. Truly EQ had hosed me up already by that point because spending money on pixels was just lol and now too is lol for far different reasons. Needless to say I got ban hammered so fast it would make your head spin. Got that deepwater for 5 minutes though(worth). I took a break for a few months but soon enough was back. Had a pile of cocaine after I got done with a job in Brazil and decided to play again this time as a truly depraved piece of poo poo as befitted my coked up mindset. Caiu was born sometime mid september 2015...... To be continued if anyone actually gives a poo poo. I did want to get some of that off my chest though because I wasn't really able to ever link all those character names in any way till now. Which kinda blew since I had made good friends with some people and had to go cold when swapping identities due to ban hammers. P.S. Yes I am alive. Also paragraphs are for pussies.

One of the weirdest things about this thread and P99 is how little info is out there about which poster plays which character, and that's largely because of poo poo like the above. Even back when trading accounts for items and plat was kosher, the stigma that went with it kept a lot of people from tagging or talking about alts they intended to enjoy leveling and then sell off for items once they were done with them - especially if they were being a huge rear end in a top hat while playing that particular character. It's a less common but bigger problem for people who are messing with rule-breaking trades/RMT these days. Always good to see a good drama diary even if it does lack carriage returns or indentations.

Caicopius has joined the Judges table. Thank you, friend. I have witnessed these events in Chapter One to be true. Let's hope this 1000 day narrative continues. As you all digest this story, I will attempt to narrate the same story from my own perspective. Disclaimer:  Any attempts by posters to criticize any of these stories will be met with some "Street Justice" This is not a personal threat, it is an acknowledgement that I am fully prepared to dole out 8 Handmade Backpacks with prizes to the contest winners and patient goons who have already requested weight-reduction bags without realizing that they'd be filled with goodies from my Iksar warrior who spent nearly 7 years playing a mix/max race in chain armor. I have no regrets, but a ton of historical perspective to share with the thread over the next 4 months. Caiu - I've been wanting to share this Irish drinking song with you for many years.

The person you are shaming has more of those qualities than your post would imply you've found in your life. What are you bringing to the table? I know it's been nothing as of that post...

Did some pretty killer duos/groups with Caiu in The Hole. Probably crawled that at least half a dozen times I bet. Took over the basement of Howling Stones with a Necro trio too. He also soloed the mob for my Shaman's Black Fur Boots.

"There must be some kind of way out of here," Said the lizard to a torch, "There's too much platinum. Maybe the client is best unlaunched The guilds - they buy my wares Players fetch my loot. Who cares we are millionaires Boredom is en route Hey!" "No reason to give up everything," The tunnel torch - it kindly smoked "There are many here among us Who feel the game is but a joke. But you and I - know there's another path To get us a payday Let's not talk depressedly so Time to burn the plat away Hey!" All inside the tunnels Developers invisibly watch While all the players came and went. Barefoot druids too. Outside the tunnel, and game A lizard did sell The RMT players logged on and opened trade And the GMs began to howl, hey All inside the tunnels All inside the tunnels

My poem entry: Roses are red Violets are blue Or maybe they're purple I have no loving clue what is going on other than 2 or 3 posts in this thread about some guy named Caiu that was on red, then on blue apparently and now has rmt'd his gear and plat and left the server forever I couldn't even begin to tell you who that person is or why he mattered but I guess its pretty cool that he made that much money by selling his stuff and hopefully he's doing ok emotionally I mean we've all played this drat game for two decades now one and off of course so it's no surprise that someone would burn out or get tired of the bullshit after all that time especially on a server thats as quirky as p99 and has so many little cliques and established communites that suffer from in-group out-group mentalities though to be honest I can't imagine someone that plays on a pvp server enjoying the game it just seems silly to me and I wouldn't enjoy it whatsoever because it seems like it would really just bring out the worst griefers in the world but then to be fair red generally has a population under 100 at any given time so no one else wants to play it either which makes sense but someone did mention a cloak of flames and some backpacks or something and seeing as my highest level character is a shaman that still has some patchwork armor on him I figured what the hell I'd go ahead and write a peom but really I havent done any poetry in a long time so maybe it'd be funny if I just posted some stream of thought but it'll probably just read like a wall of text and whoever you are Caiu I hope the game was fun while it lasted and you're on to bigger and better things Oh poo poo what rhymes with purple

I also just came back for the recent goon rush. Maybe I knew Caiu from the SLAMDUNKATRON days but not familiar with his blue persona. Anyway, here is my lovely attempt at a poem: Now this is story all about how My platinum got flipped, the GMs frowned I'd like to take a minute to med right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of the Crypt of Dalnir In West Cabilis born in raised In the Field of Bone is where I spent the most of my days Chillin on my back, binding wounds all day When it got rough, by the guards I would stay When a couple Buynai who were fat as can be Started to become KoS to me I got in one little fight this goon got scared Time to farm some armor in the Crypt of Dalnir I whistled for a druid and when it came to me The guild Tag said <Dial a Port> and it was free If anything I could say that this druid wasn't rare So I said off to EC so I can sell my ware I flipped items to about 14 mill you haters I yelled to the Druid yo scrub smell you later Looked at my platinum, I was finally there Time to cash out as the Prince of Dalnir ptothebtothek fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Phone posting itt - Submissions closing in 90 minutes with a poll going up ASAP. Prizes To be awarded in East Commonlands next to the Shady Merchant in the back of the tunnel. Details to follow, hope any/everyone can attend. Voting will continue through the end of March (Saturday, March 31st at 11:59pm GMT-5). Fine Print Items will be handed out freely in the East Commonlands tunnel pending guide/GM approval on p99 Blue. From my point of view, I don't expect any fallout from the GM/Dev team from a literary contest with pixels up-for-grabs to honest actors. If I am wrong, feel free to contact me via PM/Steam/Discord with a heads up to preserve good faith on Project99. I'll do what I can to mitigate that as an honest actor in the spirit of the server rules. Stay tuned!

My contribution - Sung to the music of "Whiskey in the Jar" by the Dubliners. As I was a goin' over the Rathe and Stonebrunt mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his platinums he was counting I first produced my pisstape and I then produced my rapier Saying "Stand and Deliver" for you were a bold deceiver Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's pisstapes under guard. I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to many They sighed and they swore that they never would deceive me But the devil take the gamers for they never "take it easy" Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o Your pisstape's in our bar I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But many drew me charges and I filled them up with water Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for some LOLLIN Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's pisstapes under guard. 'Twas was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell I first produced me backpacks for this game stole me rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar. Now there's some take delight in the carnage of the trollin' And others take delight in the hoarding of the stolen But I take delight in the views of Bob Marley And solving petty grudges in the morning bright and early Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o This ode has gone too far If anyone can aid me 'tis me brothers in the army If I can find a station in Discord or in the smarmy And if you'll go with me, we'll go trollin' through so many And I'm sure you'll treat us better than my own disdain for plenty Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Whack for the daddy-o Whack for the daddy-o Deez nuts, you've read too far.
