The Future?

[98bcobra]

So I have been playing here for a while and really enjoying the old school classic game again. I started a little late to the game only starting like a year ago. I found myself the other day wondering what the future holds since velious is out and this is the last expansion that is supposed to be released. I am a semi casual player that doesn't go from 1-max level in a couple weeks. I hear the raiding at the top is kinda locked up by a couple guilds so that doesn't make me want to to rush there. So like I said what does the future hold for Project 1999? Its at max level and max content unless something changes. Which to me makes it feel like a waste to level anymore to hit a dead end or wall after months of leveling.

With the TLP server opening over on live and locked raid instances I am finding myself thinking about switching. I have always loved the PoP, Luclin expansions and really want to experience that again. Anyways just food for thought not meant to be negative as like I said I really enjoy this classic everquest.

[Slave35]

PoP was amazing, and probably the best expansion to EQ outside of Kunark. (and Kunark may very well be the best expansion ever made for any video game, ever).

Luclin, though... was shit. You might not know it, but if you thought about it for a few minutes, and then read these forums for 20-30 hours, you'd realize that.

The live servers are even worse than Luclin. There is almost nothing about them that is even remotely challenging or nostalgic. They are so far from the Classic adventure that you think you remember that you will feel cheated and abused.

P99 is without question the best representation of Everquest that exists in the universe. If you've only been playing casually for 1 year, you've got a hell of a lot longer time to go here. I played here for 3 years semi-hardcore and I still haven't started to exhaust the content.

Have fun and hopefully see you around!

[98bcobra]

Ill give you that. Kunark and Luclin are amazing. I just wish we had PoP to look forward to it was a ground breaking expansion.

You are right there is nothing classic about the live servers even the TLP ones. They have all the new stuff and most of it is extremely annoying like advanced looting system drives me crazy. Not saying its better than project 1999 by any means. Just want to know why stop at velious and not just go ahead to PoP massive content there that will keep your player base active for years to come.

[Pyrion]

For me the live servers don't look attractive at all, i won't go back there. i will stay here for some more time and eventually migrate to something else... maybe to this:

http://www.pantheonmmo.com/

It's what Brad Mc Quaid is doing nowadays and while there were some problems with this early on i think they are on track again.

[Yoite]

problem with live servers after playing p99 is it is like playing with game genie codes. You can train your grp with 4-5 red cons and no CC and take em down with no issues.

[killa0885pve]

I really thought Kunark/Velious/Luclin was when it was at its greatest.
Pop just killed it for me. (I Mained a wizzy) and honestly it felt like someone took my soul, when everyone could just Teleport by clicking the books.

There is no need to Rush to 60 and raid your face into a wall. even if you get 60 casually, there is so much you can do, and go see. doesn't just have to be about raiding.

This is pretty much it. I played a paladin on Live exclusively after all those years, and I was thrilled to get the knowledge books for teleportation, plus Holy Steed for epic bard level run speed. But to me the books killed the majority of the interaction/need of wizards and druids for ports. It's one of the reasons I had started a wizard and stayed in P1999 for so long, a druid and wizard class specific needs for porting. That alone makes the classes feel special and unique in that way.

Still after all these years of casual game play, I have a lvl 52 wizard, a lvl 9 paladin and a lvl 4 Shadowknight. I move slowly and I just enjoy the ride. After all patches and fixes come in the Velious era, Nilbog (I believe) might possibly a make custom content on another server, with charactrer copies possibly being allowed for that custom content.

Just enjoy the ride and be patient :)

[Daldaen]

PoP was hands down the best expansion.

Druids, Rangers and Wizards all filled way more crucial raid roles once their AAs and Focus effects allowed them to.

PoK books are so minor and so limited. Teleports are still favorable mode of travel and their most valuable aspect was moving people out of a remote location not ferrying them to it.

Can't click a PoK book in the bottom of Sebilis. You can get a TL or Group Port though.

[Duncon]

This is true, however you are also no longer one of the few classes that can go where you want when want anytime. Everyone is given that.

[feanan]

Recently moved to TLP phinny after being on p99 since the beginning.

Yes, some of the live changes make things ez mode. I do like a lot of the quality of life changes, and do not like others.

However, the biggest change has been that I actually have something to look forward to and work towards, instead of getting my 6th alt to 60, and nothing to do after that.

So, yeah, p99 classic is the best, but after you get to 60 you will slowly die inside.

p99 not very challenging when most have been here 5+ years, and their twinks have fungi's and other goodies.

Also, at least on TLP the RMT is out in the open, unlike P99 where a select few are reaping in the cash.

[trite]

Conveniences like port books began to take the need to interact with other players out.....actually started with the nexus in luclin and the bazaar...

[Daldaen]

This is true, however you are also no longer one of the few classes that can go where you want when want anytime. Everyone is given that.

Feel free to run from PoK to North Karana, or Emerald Jungle, or Skyfire, or Iceclad, or Cobalt Scar, or Dawnshroud, or Surefall, or Lavastorm, etc etc etc

It's dimes to dollars. Those extra 1-2 zones you have to traverse add up in those 5-10 extra minute journeys. Over the course of a month of play you will notice as a Druid or Wizard the porting utility is still huge. Especially if you're running around doing quests. If you're a guy who sits in the same zone for 20 levels and doesn't leave though, it's not going to matter, not that it matter before for you anyways.

People love to point out how everyone has access to books... Yes, but from one central location. They don't go to every port location, and the ones that go to places porters didn't have ports already can use them as well to augment their travel ability.

[Daldaen]

Conveniences like port books began to take the need to interact with other players out.....actually started with the nexus in luclin and the bazaar...

This is a good thing. Nothing is more unpleasant than dealing with the used car salesman resellers in EC.

Nexus I always find as a funny example. The nexus portals worked on a 15minute recharge. Meaning you could show up right as it's going off (0 min wait) or you could show up just after its going off (15min wait). The average wait you have is 7.5minutes from one of five zones across the world.

Whereas you can catch a dial a port on P99 in usually well under 7.5minutes and they'll grab you from any of 20+ portal locations plus central hubs like EC or OT.

As far as convenience goes, P99 has it better than Luclin port situation went, and the social interaction most porters receive in their porting duties is almost nil.

[Pope Hat]

Lol @ porting being a social interaction.

PoP didn't take away grouping or raiding. THOSE are the social aspects of this game.

I have always loved the PoP, Luclin expansions and really want to experience that again. Anyways just food for thought not meant to be negative as like I said I really enjoy this classic everquest.

I would switch, then.

Fact is that the server will stop somewhere. They aren't going to go through the live timeline. Eventually, no matter whether here or elsewhere, the server will stop. So this isn't the place for you. I would go to a living MMO where they will continually release xpacs and satiate your thirst to continue leveling higher and higher and doing higher level things.

[Laugher]

Based on the fact that p99 is going on 6 years now with 4-5 Spent in kunark, I think you'll still be seeing numbers here for another while yet in Velious. I will admit progression is cool but realistically let's say you plan to play for the next 2 years on a server: I think both would provide quality yet different experiences with sufficient population throughout.

[Jaleth]

Lol @ porting being a social interaction.

It was and is, whether you think so or not. Was it game changing, yes and no, but no matter how you look at it, it was and still is a social interaction, even with very little to no words exchanged. (sad but true)

[Jaleth]

PoP was hands down the best expansion.

Druids, Rangers and Wizards all filled way more crucial raid roles once their AAs and Focus effects allowed them to.

PoK books are so minor and so limited. Teleports are still favorable mode of travel and their most valuable aspect was moving people out of a remote location not ferrying them to it.

Can't click a PoK book in the bottom of Sebilis. You can get a TL or Group Port though.

Not disagreeing with what you said, but the interaction aspect and the need of wizards and druids is what inspired me to create one on this server. If we started in Luclin or PoP, I would have just re-rolled a paladin or shadow knight exclusively (hey I love knight classes) and would never have contemplated a port class for porting myself and others. However because we do not have books, porting classes became vital to our community. Imagine if nobody rolled a druid or wizard, how large a scale this world would be, plus no plane of sky access. (But of course this opens a can of worms, i.e. what if no one rolled a cleric or warrior).

Although like you mentioned the utility and usefulness of druids and wizards in groups expands profoundly, but so do SK's and paladins as well as every other class.

[Pope Hat]

t was and is, whether you think so or not. Was it game changing, yes and no, but no matter how you look at it, it was and still is a social interaction, even with very little to no words exchanged. (sad but true)

So your argument is that it -technically- is a social interaction? Lol. Fine, I'll stipulate. It is technically a social interaction; just as much as one as I have with a cab driver that drives me for 30 seconds.

[Brontus]

It would be really nice if at some point the management here would reach out to the player community here and ask us our opinion on the future of P1999.

Just because Luclin had a lot of problems -- awful new character models -- doesn't mean that any future EQ expansions should not be considered.

I personally believe the spirit of classic EQ can be preserved with future expansions but with a piecemeal approach. Take the good parts of an expansion and leave out the bad parts.

At some point P1999 needs to convene a summit that includes representatives from playerbase and decide the future.

Thanks for listening. :)

I personally believe that the spirit of classic EQ would be destroyed by cats on the moon. And thank goodness (from my perspective) that the devs have repeatedly stated they feel the same way. The "future" is now, and I rather like that we've reached the end of the line.

A lot of people believe that luclin/pop was the pinnacle of EQ. There are other emus to cater to them (TAKP, p2002). I don't understand why people think trying to nudge the devs into developing something they personally dislike is a good idea when there are other options available.

[Jaleth]

Yeah, that's why I think it can be a sad situation. Might not be eventful, but we're dependent on this aspect of the game, those books did not alleviate porters, but I felt it trivialized their need in that context. But I still enjoyed PoP nonetheless.

[immaterial]

Take the good parts of an expansion and leave out the bad parts.

this is the part that almost everyone disagrees on. ask people here what they would leave or take from Luclin onwards and you'll get a hundred different answers.

[myriverse]

PoP was the beginning of the end.

[fadetree]

PoP *was* the beginning of the end, but it was also the end of the beginning. Best expansion ever and where I wish we would go to. Luclin - meh except for certain fights and the AA's.

[eadric]

PoP *was* the beginning of the end, but it was also the end of the beginning. Best expansion ever and where I wish we would go to. Luclin - meh except for certain fights and the AA's.

I agree. Ideally I'd like to see Luclin and PoP spliced and welded onto p99, leaving out all the bad/controversial parts. Almost everyone liked AA's, so those could be added, and it would keep players busy for a long time (might need to nerf chardok ae though). A few zones in Luclin were cool and underutilized, like Sanctus Seru and Grieg's End. The devs could do something with that, connecting the zones to Norrath in some way other than taking us to the moon in a magical rocketship.

Planes of Power was the pinnacle of EQ raiding, and I'd love to see those raids added, without the useless and unpopular Plane of knowledge and Plane of tranquility. Maybe make all those Planes accessible only by wizard portals, and you'd then get some of them onboard with the project.

Of course all of this would be a lot of work to implement. I hope Rogean, Nilbog and team do something along this line though! Custom content would be awesome!

[Tann]

It would be really nice if at some point the management here would reach out to the player community here and ask us our opinion on the future of P1999.

Issue being, aside from varying opinions, is that Sirken has stated on multiple occasions on his stream that development would be doing what it's doing whether 5 people played here or 5000.

[Llandris]

Those of you asking all these questions should really watch some of Sirkens streams.

[snead]

Lol @ porting being a social interaction.

PoP didn't take away grouping or raiding. THOSE are the social aspects of this game.

to add to this you would GROUP MORE because you'd want to grind AAs. I'd normally raid for 6 hours a day then grind AAs for another 2-3 after. Meanwhile on P99 i'm working on my new level 60 to get EXP capped.

[Fawqueue]

I think the best place they can take this project in the future is a fresh server start once all the bugs are worked out and we've had a good amount of time with Velious. The original vision was for a recreated classic experience on an accurate timeline. I'd still like to experience that vision as it was described. The current blue server is great, but it went far too long in each expansion and was riddled with bugs and exploits early on. Round 2 is going to be even more amazing....

EQ is just an overly complicated chat program where people come to get drunk and chat with friends. Expansions don't matter, leveling doesn't matter, if it does matter to you then you're going to get bored and then start whining about expansions until you stop missing the point, if ever.

Me personally I would love it if p99 rolled back to pre-kunark, no expansions enabled, and stayed there.

[goblinmoshpit]

There are so many things to do besides raiding i think. I'm making a druid solely for the purpose of Porting people around makin friends and ca$h!

[Daywolf]

There are so many things to do besides raiding i think. I'm making a druid solely for the purpose of Porting people around makin friends and ca$h!Yep, a little porting, a little socializing, a little RP, a little raiding, a little farming, a little guiding of new players, a little alt leveling, a little crafting, a little mayhem, a little wholesale slaughter.

Since launch of EQ, years in PEQ grand creating from emu launch, to p99, I still haven't level capped every class and every tradeskill. I think I did that in GW2 by around seven or eight months after launch; every class every tradeskill capped and every inch of the game world explored and conquered both pve and pvp, somewhat casually (hard-cores had like 20+ chars capped by then). uh but here, put your life on hold a decade or two to do that.

While this may make people upset I would love this!! I have been messing around on live and p99 is way better and suits my play style better. Just wish like stated before we got PoP.

"Hi there, Xaanka! You look like you could use a Cure Batshit Crazy Potion"
:D

[Brontus]

Does anyone really think that in 10 years in 2026 to be exact that the blue server will still be stuck in Velious?

Imagine a server where every character slot you have is a level 60 char and the competition for scare content ensues. By that time everyone will have every piece of gear they need and probably most with epics. Loot would become worthless as everyone would be fully geared out with no additional alts that you can create. This is P1999 frozen at Velious taken to its logical conclusion.

The solution is simple, create an additional server:


Keep blue server stuck at Velious.

Create a new server that moves forward to newer selected expansions minus the horrible new character models, the bazaar and POK books


Everyone wins. Those that like being playing the same content over and over again can stay in Velious and be happy doing so. Those that want to move forward can play on the new server.

I think the reason people stuck around through the longest Kunark timeframe ever was because there WAS Velious coming sometime. You had something to look forward to. Velious will not sustain the same amount of time, no way.

So places like Mistmoore shouldn't be packed with groups this time of day? Maybe I can jump in and solo the graveyard right now... haha yeah right :rolleyes:
But no.
And peaks like 1400 now? And not multi-boxed like other emu servers. Most are in original zones.

Kunark was the beginning of the end!

Seriously though, I'd love a vanilla EQ Proj! I like Kunark, better than Velious actually, but I do agree and have mentioned it before, a retro server with just the old-world would be damn nice. I like retro :)

Would have been nice if Kunark hadn't been a vertical progression but a horizontal one. Much easier to develop vertical progression though.

You're just gonna have to accept the fact that there is an end to all of this. If you keep going, you're just turning it into a modern day MMO with new, unwated nostalgia-killing content flowing in to give the illusion of "progression".

[dikafu]

How about perma-death for old characters, at random, just like real life. That should clear up some end-game content. ;)

... I'm not sure if literate? I said that Velious population won't last as long as Kunark. Your Mistmoore reference makes almost no sense to what I said. MM stays busy due to exp rate and ZEM, simple as that.

Again, it has 1400 population, which is awesome! But, as I said, it won't last as long as Kunark. Let me see if there's 1400 population while people are still grinding on Kael mobs with no hope for anything more in 3-4 years.

[Dacien]

I feel like adding AA's would be good. Just AA's. Nothing else. The framework for them was in by the end of Velious anyway, let's just fudge the timeline a bit. Would def extend P99.

Let me see if there's 1400 population while people are still grinding on Kael mobs with no hope for anything more in 3-4 years.Deductive reasoning, or top-down logic. Velious is irrelevant since most of the playerbase is in the old world, or a greater proportion anyway, still "lasting". As far as the general overall health of the server population is concerned anyway. There are still a lot of people in Kunark as well (as well as Vel and old world), hasn't died, years after release here. But that is the beauty of an openworld mmo, you just go to where you want to play, not forced into the next expansion or vertical progression zone, not as much here anyway.

But sure, for the hard core progressionist that gets board easy unless the next expansion is right around the corner, it may be curtains for them as the Velious novelty wears off to their liking. But that isn't what this server was crafted for, but for those that just like the pre-luclin gameplay, which this is the only server of it's kind more or less. Why do they all need to be progression into and thru luclin? Can't we just be left alone to our last scrap of insanity remaining?

[immaterial]

i agree with others, i don't know why this game needs to keep expanding. do old school RPGs need expansions? different people will cycle through every couple of years as they get that itch and come back with friends to do a 1-60 run. it's not different than people going back and replaying old favorites every so often, like FFVII or whatever.

the server will grow and shrink at various times, but Project 1999 provides a fun, compelling experience and the closest thing to classic that exists (and likely will ever exist, unless EQClassic ever gets finished, through some miracle). people will come back when they get nostalgic and then leave once they are sated. this will repeat again and again until the devs have to pull the plug for whatever reason.

As understand it This is exactly what the dev of p1999 plan to do. "Found ELE post "


"The server isn't "finished."

We have another 6-7 months worth of Velious patches to go (e.g. Chardok revamp), which will likely take another year to fully roll out. Plus there are still bugs and tweaks to patch in preparation of a full proper timeline server release."


Their was some forum post 2 years ago on the forums about POSSIBLE custom content exactly what that would be was never really clarified. Many people posted with ideas what could be in this custom content, with most focusing on Planes of power content without plane of knowledge and books etc etc.

[JayDee]

One thing is for sure, Velious is a weak xpac and the reason why people are clamoring for new content so shortly after its launch.

the difference here is that everquest requires players to play the game. you can play final fantasy 7 by yourself at any time without anyone helping you. this game is the staple of a social game.

Give a listen to the Sirken stream with Nilbog and Rogean, they explain a bit on there ideas for custom content.. Nothing like the above quote though, sorry no cats on the moon or PoP-lite

right, and the population will wax and wane as people leave and others return.

my overall point was that Project 1999 doesn't need new content just like FFVII doesn't need new content. people will duck back in every so often to roll a new character with new or old friends and re-experience Classic EQ.

poopsocks will leave when they get bored, sure, but poopsocks don't make up the majority of the population. in fact, hardcore players of that nature can actually stifle casual players who can't/won't put in that same amount of time to keep up.

Thank you Tann that was very helpful.

At least we all can now understand. Nothing past Velious Expansion. Some possible zone geometry with classic style mobs and loots as custome content.

[Dacien]

How about some GM events? That would be cool. Maybe something for us leveling scrubs, not just a Cazic Thule spawn in LOIO for the raiding guilds to batphone about.

[SamwiseRed]

plenty of content to see if you are leveling.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

p99 should merge with an eve online emulator. gnomes in spaceships.

I have been playing here for a while.


I started a little late to the game only starting like a year ago.
