Returning Vet from 12 yrs of EQ play

[abba]

Hello everyone. I have been playing EQ ever sense game release. I had to stop playing 3 years ago and my bud had told me I could go back to the oldies but goldies days and I was like your kidding right? Well needless to say I thought I was getting trolled but newp and I'm very glad that I'm able to return to the game before things really started to get out of hand. My in game name is. Schlompay. I'm a magician and I'm just looking for random help/advice for brand spanken new players. I was 7 years infantry in the U.S. Army and I was medically retired from the military because I caught an IED to the leg and that led to me having a stroke among other things so my memory isn't very good. Feel free if you're a military vet to say hi at any time if I'm on I don't mind the talks. It's good to be back :)

Welcome to the server! We hope you can find some of the enjoyment that you found with EQ your first time around. Make sure to read through the Getting Started (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2651) guide here on the forums. Also, check out the Project1999 FAQ (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1002) for answers to common questions and server rules. Another helpful thing to do would be to bookmark the Project1999 wiki (http://wiki.project1999.com). It has some good guides, market info, etc... specific to this server! Good luck!

Nawh my mage is a man. It's definitely not spelled correctly though. Yall just way to much :) I'm glad to be back. I'm just so darn tired of the current games that have been coming out now for the last 8 years or so. It's to instant gratification and what not for my likings. Msg me whenever I'm always down to group to do content or chat.

Nice I think I grouped with ya on Orc hill the other night, I was on my bard Vedre.

I been playing for awhile now and it's great. So if you see me on him or on my necro Sliren feel free to msg me.

Hi, I am considering joining Project99 but am a little confused about why it requires Titanium (which includes 10 expansions as I understand) when the server is only running up to Velious?

I have all my original CDs and expansions up to PoP (where I stopped playing) and never bought Titanium. I looked up Titanium on Amazon and it was fairly pricey for something which this server doesn't use the majority of.

I am very interested in joining simply because off all the MMOs I've played over the past 2 decades, EQ was my first and it had the best community I have ever known.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

if you use your head and about 2min on goggle im sure u can find a FREE way 2 get titanium

[greenblze420]

also i have no clue as to why the used titanium but they seem like pretty smart dudes so im sure there is a reason

[BigHurb]

its the client version they picked for the eqemu project, no reason in particular other than it works and its what they did.. you can actually download a tool to remove the excess files (but dont delete velious files!)

I appreciate your feedback. I am no stranger to where to obtain software free. I simply choose not to do so in most cases.

I have friends in San Diego who actually designed the Original EQ and many parts of EQ2. Because of them, I chose to simply spend a small amount of money (for me at least) on Amazon to purchase my own legal copy.

I was more curious as to whether the Project99 staff intended to one day incorporate these other expansion which came with this set and thus, specifically chose it.

Hope to see you in a few days after arrival and installation is complete.

Regards,

I understand you know people who worked on the original EQ. But you do realize that buying a 2nd hand copy of the game off Amazon does nothing to benefit them? There is no royalty paid on a 2nd hand copy. There is no additional revenue the game generates off the 2nd hand market. You just gave your money to a random dude on the internet and your friends were in no way affected by it.

I say this not to make you feel bad, I just don't understand this rational. I actually feel bad for those that waste their money buying a legit copy of the game when they aren't playing a legit copy of the game. Either way I hope you enjoy the community and if anyone chooses an evil shaman check out my guide below!


*Edit P.S. The staff does not plan to incorporate more of the game outside of Velious. Once Velious is complete the Project will be complete. After Velious is released and all timeline's worked out and all bugs researched out, I am told a relaunch will occur from start. In essence this is the beta server. If I am wrong on this staff can correct me.
