1. Is there an emulator of quality that goes into Velious (My favorite expansion)?
2. If not, is there an emu of quality that goes into Kunark (My starting expansion)?
3. Is there enough people that play on P99 to get grps going?
4. Is it over populated?
5. What is the roleplaying like?
6. Can i 2 box?
7. Why are halflings so much cooler than every other race?:p

The only way you could possibly make this list of questions is if you did absolutely ZERO research on the very website you posted it on...

This is true...
I just thought it would be easier to ask people.

Thanks! Cool. I am really interested.
Still tho, what's the game play like?
Is it a fun community? Overpopulated, underpopulated?

Why don't you just try it. It's free and takes 0 effort to get up and running.

Is it medium populated? Is it very fun? A little fun? Maximum fun? Jesus Christ

It's about medium-populated, with many extremes in both directions. Popular zones are over-camped whereas some zones are under-appreciated (just like back in the day).

The community has its share of people who are douchebags, people who are boring, people who are overly bubbly, and people who are actually really interesting and funny. I'd say way more people fall into the last category than on the average Live server.

The server isn't 100% classic (due to bugs/client limitations/etc.), but it "feels" classic.

The server is largely what you make of it.

edit: Also, Aisi is right. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

Dude its the most fun ive had playing any MMO since EQ, the devs have done an amazing job of keeping everything as close to vanilla as possible down to the downright shitty parts. The community, for the most part, is great! A lot of people are helpful and there are plenty of people to group with. Once they get around to the IP exemption ill be playing with my whole family just like old old old school eq.

I hear you. Me and friends used to create newbie barbarians and race to Kelethin. I think my best time was just under 2 hours.

It's like having your balls caught in a bear trap. You'll hate it.

I had a lot of fun leveling up and meeting people, there a lot of people who are willing to help you out. It's fortunate that there are a lot of casual players, normally on these emulator servers you just have a ton of people who get to max level and quit. *bait* The community on this server is pretty gnarly, just don't get to level 50 and you'll have plenty of fun. ;)

Hey Teddie Beardude,

I used to play on Xev with you on Merimac (human warrior) and Siagon (high elf enchanter). It's good to see you found your way here. It's a sweet server with a helpful community. Send me a tell on Amory or Merimac sometime.

Did you ever get your IP exemption?
how long did it take?

I've had my request in for almost a week and nothing yet. :(

1. Not yet.
2. Not yet.

There was
There was
(ProjectEQ, circa 2003 -- you could even grab their old databases, go through the changelog and update the database to current schema, and have a decent classic server)

Angelox's database isn't too shabby, either but it goes further than Velious :(
