I remember that it was fun.
Is it possible to bring to red99?
If so would there ever be any plans to implement it?

lol Project M. One of the greatest things ever in EQ. I managed to get a decaying skeleton to pop with a 2h once and made it to like level 4 before I was killed.
The best part was when you were playing a mob and you recognized other mobs being played by real people due to their movement patterns and shit, and even though you couldn't communicate there would be roving bands of fire beetles and shit just wrecking people.
Yea project M was canceled pretty fast but was nice while it lasted.

agreed, this was insanely funny, would absolutely love to have it on blue so us reds could unite as death beetles in unrest @ blue and fuck them up, you could close red99 if this was a possibility, it would make
1. red community happy
2. you would not have to host 2 servers
3. pve would be absolutely a unique experience on blue99 as it would be red players playing the mobs
ALL PROBLEMS SOLVED.
make it happen

Besides seeing red pop numbers drop i cant think of why this is a bad idea. I remember this lasting for a day at most i think on Rallos.
I remember spawning as a spider in Feerott, i see another spider, I jump. It jumps in response. Jump, Jump, Jumpity Jump. I follow the spider and we gank some naked Ogre in front of Oggok.
Other highlight of the day: Some guy in OOC "Wtf, theres a snake camping my corpse!"
Would be funny to have a day like this on blue but i doubt itll happen.

oh it brings back so many memories, it was glorious while it lasted, think it lasted 2 days on vallon zek, and i didn't login my character for that period of time
the fact that you could level up your critter was the best, i remember spawning as a wasp lvl 2 in gfay and leveling it slowly and painfully to 4 then i went fucking some people up by kelethin, dayum it was glorious
If you were lucky you got the orc priest in oasis and then you had lots of fun options

Thought this post was going to be about Super Smash Brothers.
Which i realize has nothing to do with Everquest.

Managed to PK a newbie erudite necro in Paineel using a decaying skeleton once. My only ever confirmed kill before it got taken out.
Was great other than sometimes spawning in the depths of najena somewhere in a place where there's little chance to find people.

If you spawn as a caster, do you just start off with a spellbook and spells memmed already?
What happens if you zone?
Can you buy things from vendors (like additional spells)?
Does tradeskilling work as a monster?
I've heard so many people talk about this but never got to experience it myself. I hope it happens some day!
I have a million questions! But I'll start with those 4.

Don't know, I never spawned as a caster.
What happens if you zone?
Nothing, because you couldn't.
Can you buy things from vendors (like additional spells)?
No because from what I remember was that you didn't really have an inventory and you couldn't loot.
Does tradeskilling work as a monster?
Nope.
I've heard so many people talk about this but never got to experience it myself. I hope it happens some day!

You spawn as a random mob. I only spawned as wolves and beetles and once I was an orc pawn in noob zones.

This is pretty much a perfect description of:
A) Why it was awesome
B) Why it was canceled almost immediately

Yeah I think it was restricted to <10 level zones if I remember right. I remember spawning in the Freeport/Qeynos newbie zones and also Qeynos Hills.
Nothing can quite describe the greatness of watching a horde of 4-5 decaying skeletons in the Qeynos newbie yards running around and ganking people.

If you spawned as a caster, you definitely had access to spells. I can't remember if they were pre-memorized or if you had a spellbook and had to memorize them yourself. For some reason, I'm leaning towards pre-memorized although that may be off. I was only lucky enough to get a caster in unpopulated zones (Kerra Island, South Ro).
If you zoned or died, you got booted back to the character select screen. You couldn't acquire items (although you could spawn with typical items that mob would have), so no vendors or tradeskills.

All about that rusty 2h decaying skeleton assist train
I did this for a day or two on live...
Newbs will call in for a high level player to 1 shot you
The real grief is playing a ranger and killing all the people trying to project M-quest, not being the godly fire beetle

They were prememed. I remember sitting around in Kerra waiting for people to zone in to gank em.

As long as its in short bursts, i could see this actually increasing interest for the server.
Maybe like 6-12 hours each month or something

I think you're missing how this should get used.
Turn it on for blue. We shall cry havok and let slip the dogs of war.
P99 will never be the same.
It would be more popular than red99!

This or discord server be pretty fun to mess around on. Prefer discord mode though. Discord wouldn't take any extra time from GMs as well since to rules.
