P99 is Dying

[Tyym]

No new raid content to ever experience again while on this server. A bunch of zit faced cunts running around trying to enforce the all mighty laws of the server and fuck things up except for those RMTers they are secretly making money off of.

Why do people stay here? Find a new game, go to a live progression server. Seriously, this server wont be around in a year because with no new promise of a new expansion, there is only so much to do.

Raid guilds will die because people are tired of devoting endless hours to stay number 1 when eventually their toons are max geared and there is nothing left to do.

STOP THIS INSANITY

No idea why p99 doesn't open new servers. There would probably be 5x as many people playing on this project if there were a couple new blue servers.

These economy of blue is such a mess. Every newb you see has some 30%+ haste item. Everyone fully twinked. Everything is so easy, its just boring. Its not at all representative of what EQ was like during this era.

They need to start new servers. They don't have to remove the old ones, they can keep them running. They should always have a server progressing through the expansions. When the server reaches the end, they simply merge the new servers into the original, and start again.

I bet they could easily fill 2 new servers with 1k+, but it doesn't seem like anyone really cares anymore.

[Folly]

No idea why p99 doesn't open new servers.

The way I see it, if p99 team has well documented their updates and patches, they are just doing the hard work now that entails producing the content and fixing bugs.

Then when they are all set, they should be able to release new vanilla servers that progress upto Velious with ease and no stress.
^^^This is what I hope^^^

Like you all really gotta thing how grateful you must be to have this server and someone did the job of providing a close to classic experience for you FOR FREE. And I would hope the p99 project lasts a very long time.

I look forward to the burn out of raid guilds ...

So the rest of us will be free to experience raid content casually without having to devote insane amounts of time to playing a 16 year old elf sim.

P99 for the rest of us will continue to entertain for years to come.

Blue might be dying, but theres a bright future ahead for the red server. Not only is there content waiting for you but you'll get to improve as a player by learning to pvp rather than typing petitions and complaining about camp queues.

Its never too late, give it a try.

[pugnacious]

IMHO, Server should have been reset on Velious Launch. Would have slowed things down IMMENSELY and made it a more classic experience.

I haven't played in months and I am hoping they pop out a new blue.

[Daywolf]

300% slower isn't slow enough already?? :D
It's almost like saying the game is dying with 1400 people in peak... which is like more players than in GW2 when I uninstalled, counting multiboxers :p

Game looks healthy to me. I just spent two days setting up a cleric re-roll. 4hrs first day making dk grn fine plate set, scraping usable gear out of my account, questing some hero bracers (fair start :D ). Then second day just trying to find some damn place to level off mobs as everything laid waste by so many players.

Most not even twinked let alone even ok starting gear. Tons of newbies around looking like new to the server ...and having fun. This poor server's on it's last leg! *flips leg in air and pees on thread

Consider balanced pvp in EQ.

I would genuinely like a vanilla classic box with some of the combat rules /game bugs fixed. Maybe make it ladder style, normal exp rates, reset once a year.

That feels like it would be the best way to experience EQ over and over and compete for top pixels on the weekends.

* maybe do things like patch warrior taunt season to season to add a little variation between seasons so people have stuff to figure out, keep themselves fresh and no one ends up the class no one plays except for prestiege (thats what I mean by game rules/combat fixes/tweaks)

But in a very classic way respecting the Vision(TM)

rules should be strived to be consistent during the season, if rogue hide is broken, it should stay broken for that season unless it's horrendously gamebreakingly horribly broken

Why do you people still wanna play on this Nazi run server when you have little zit faced cunts for guides like Braknar running around trying to exert their will because this is the only place they can do it. Go pay a few dollars and play live where you can actually play with real players and GMs that want you to enjoy the experience. Its sad. This server was once great and now we are reduced to children with power trips who can't get laid running things.

So Sad.
You've really committed yourself to this zit faced cunts thing haven't you? It's really not as sick a burn as you think it is.

Stay mad, bro

Blue might be dying and Red has always been/will always be dead. Phinny is thriving though and is significantly better in many many ways.

Its never too late, give it a try.

For once I 100% agree with Swish

[Priceline]

Blue might be dying, but theres a bright future ahead for the red server.

Yes!! Red might hit 100 people online again, a bright future indeed.

[-TK-]

For once I 100% agree with Swish

While P99 blue is definitely not dying yet, I did roll a character on Phinny last night. I've got a good 3 hours of entertainment out of it so far. There was between 15-25 people in FoB while I was on and about the same in Cab. Not sure how I feel about being able to sell Krono in game, though. Hopefully the exchange rate is abysmal enough to stop most people from doing it.

[-TK-]

And you're wrong.

Probably.

No sleeper, routinely less than 100 people on, top end players in literal BiS gear waiting to corpse camp you, grievers at all level ranges, sound great where do I sign up?

I like doing quests on various classes ect.

You don't actually have to play for hours and hours every day.

You don't actually have to play for hours and hours every day.

This. I play maybe 10 hours in a week max, usually more like 4 or 5. I still have tons of fun here.

Don't get me wrong, I've socked a lot in the past, and maybe that's what helps me enjoy the shorter sessions these days.

[Faywind]

I guarantee this server(blue) will still be around and thriving in a year.

Red on the other hand? That's debateable, it's struggling to hold 100+ players these days.

That doesn't mean it won't be around. The original idea was to make a teams server, then roll the less successful server into the more successful server.

Then discord got put up as the next thing, and we're still waiting for that.

I agree though, P99 isn't dying anytime soon... despite people/guilds stamping their feet and going for easier pixels on Phinny.

[schnickusaurus]

agree, red will definitely die first. No point trying to pvp in a soon to be ghost town

How dead will Phinny be once they begin to progress through Planes of Power? (answer: very dead)

How dead will Blue 99 be once Phinny progresses past Planes of Power (answer: about the same)

yes the people spending 80 hours a week competing for 17 year old pixels on an emulated server can for sure be counted on to move on in their lives and stop playing due to lack of new content

I think phinny will probably be popping during PoP. I think a lot of people consider it the golden age of eq.


Classic-Velious crusaders are a rather niche group

[Archalen]

PoP is in fact the pinnacle of EQ, and I can't wait to see it with my cool and normal friends.

To be fair i did say past PoP. All those countless expansions 90% of EQ players dont have a clue / give a shit about.

This is one of the largest factors that contributed to me joining Phinny a few days ago. Up to level 4 in almost full Curscale and killin' it.

[Swish]

I dunno I actually enjoyed the challenge of timed dungeons/quest goals in LDoN... they just needed to have better rewards :p

[jcr4990]

PoP is hands down the best expansion of EverQuest. Agree 100% with Cucumbers that the strictly "Classic-Velious" lovers are a vocal minority. Phinny will have super healthy population til prolly around DoDH before it starts to really fall off imo

[Trollhide]

GoW / OoW unquestionably marked the death of good EQ

PoP was definitely *not classic* but the increased level of power in gear, spells, and monsters was at least still fun. The overall theme and feel of those other 2 expansions was gaaaaarbage.

well we are right, those other folks u talkn about are just bandwagon hoppers and those folks usually think their gen was the best, becuse its bigger.

naw, vanilla is the best. period. ;)

You playing p99 for a long time and getting bored of it is not the same thing as p99 dying. Old players will leave, new players will come. If p99 changes into something else to alleviate the boredom of people who have been playing it for too long then the terrorists win.

[Man0warr]

People aren't bored of P99/Everquest. People are tired of awful raid scene that won't change.

Why are you guys playing here if you no longer like the server? No one is forcing you to do so, and there are other servers for us who prefer to have more content than classic - Velious.

i was in a top 5 guild during this time

the hacking was incredible, at least 20% of guild used a warp hack to get to CoA entrance..

not a high point for EQ when it came to fair people winning, you do know the first kill on Mata Muram was by a solo ghostkill monk right? ;)

pretty funny with the serverwide emote

[JurisDictum]

There is no server that I'm aware of that has gone through this level of recreation of classic. Playing a progression server is no classic EQ at all.

Additionally there aren't any real examples of a PoP era server that has been recreated.

There really aren't as many options as some people would like to think. You can play modern MMOs, but this is one of the only servers I'm aware of where you can actually play an old non-modernized MMO. The other is simply trying to be even more classic pure than this -- to the point of bringing back the shit UI etc..no thanks. This is classic enough for me.

You are correct that no other server shares Haynars interpretation of classic EQ in terms of content and especially the custom rules, but there are at least 2 other servers that are going towards PoP recreating Al Kabor which was PoP locked and tons of fun!
