Great Job, thank you!

[khandman]

I thought paladin love might have come with the next patch :(

[Darkdusts]

wwwoooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooo oooooooo from Magicians Everywhere!!!

[brecon]

Awesome, excited to check out Stonebrunt!

[In before most of the shit posts about monk triple attack complaint, knight hit table, chardok revamp]

[brasoff]

I thought both monks and wars got triple attack at the same time?

[Ravenfeather]

Really excited about this, but slight problem: when you go through the Warrens tunnel that's supposed to go to Stonebrunt, you wind up in Paineel. At least, I do. I've made sure I have the latest files.

[Xulia]

Thank you!

Let's be realistic, the drop rate increase will help people other than the farmers. Right now the hate crew is asking 500k for the earth staff. If this drop rate increase is significant enough in a few months the price could drop to 300k or even 200k!

500k is unobtainable for most people. But a solid seafurries binge can yield 5k. That means in only 40 seafurries binges, people could raise 200k. Figure do that 3 times a week, in 13 weeks someone can save up and purchase their staff! It's doable. Everyone wins.

[Nolui Imbris]

Hey! My Candy Corn is gone! ;.; I was really looking forward to eating that... ...well, just staring at it longingly as I force-fed myself forage. :P

Also, the shuttles to Firiona Vie from Butcherblock seem to be present again.

[Sirelk]

I have something important to say!

How long must we tiny clerics of Brell (level 40+) be made to be content with just 5 summoned ale per click of our Disciple Symbol of Brell Serilis (http://wiki.project1999.com/Disciple_Symbol_of_Brell_Serilis). It should be yielding a full stack of 20 ale per 1 pod of water once the cleric is level 40 (see this link (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2393316&postcount=19)).

Do not tell me this is a "small thing", for ale is no small thing to me nor to my wee brethren of the Brell.

Please correct this horrible horrible wrong. Fix the breach between the tiny and the tall. LET THE ALE FLOW, UNFETTERED, FULL STACKS!!!!

[Gumbo]

Nilbog: Crafted fishing lures, poles etc no longer give fishing skill bonuses

Does this change apply to the Tinkering skill when creating the following items?

Collapsible Fishing Pole - Skill Mod: Fishing +5%
Animated Bait - Skill Mod: Fishing +3%

Please explain...

[botrainer]

You should thank us. not call us douche bags.

A 'thank you' for asking to much for that item?

A 'thank you' for asking for payment(s) for hate loot in general?

Cockblocking a whole zone and it's mini's from causal players, smaller guilds, and their members from farming it up legit and somehow you're asking for a 'thank you'?

To basically cock block an 8 hour spawn, make it more difficult for the smaller guilds actually make effort to get in place and set up for minis to contest them and you request a 'thank you'? To surprise those same smaller guilds you guys dropping mobs (knowingly) on the pull paths to those smaller guild's camps to "contest" spawns (this is actually training), actually(somehow!?) brings to your mind to THANK you for that behavior?

Your acting like a mob that is like lvl 55, who doesn't AOE(generally), who doesn't DT, who can spawn a number of times in a single day and be killed with 1 to 3 groups of 50 plus players requires a 'thank you' TO AFTERMATH making it harder to farm those mobs!?

This is a great an example of why Velious has been unhealthy for this server. It was promised with Velious the lower tier raid targets and zones would be less fought over since there would be "to many targets to cover them all" Sadly even with the last patch (the maintenance one almost a week ago) Aftermath and Awakened were still training each other over Lady Vox upon the server coming back up.

[syztem]

thanks for the updates, im banging my head against the wall on this one though:

Nilbog: Flowers of Functionality must be equipped to click

smh, Daldaen one day you are going to wake up with your balls removed.

[chealin]

Still didnt fix White Dragon Helm's spell effect, it is currently giving 10 mr instead of 20, for a total of 30 MR...the helm currently only gives a current total of 20 mr, when it should give 30. The effect endure magic should be 20 mr and the effect on helm "endure magic" only gives 10.

[maximum]

Thanks, devs and contributors. Stonebrunt is a landmark!

Your pet bug didn't get fixed... be patient... lots of people have been waiting years for fixes.

[punkbythebook12]

Im having an issue the the spell.us file or whatever, u want patch or whatever, its driving me nuts !

[punkbythebook12]

Yup, I am!

Wouldn't you know it... Just when I thought about taking a vacation and bust out a new fishing pole and bait, the bonus gets taken away.

I guess I'll have to wait until the patch in the timeline for the bonus to get added again.

I'm having the same issue as punkbythebook12, and I don't have EverQuest open at all.

Thanks for your time and effort devs! Appreciate you getting this out, especially on a holiday.

[Muggens]

Thanks guys

Hope gamechanging stuff like knights defense and worn haste comes around this year =)

[stumpy1a]

Well d/l the patch, installed now nothing works. Get msg can't find eqgame. Anything short of a complete reinstall to fix this?

[inliner720]

I've updated the files as usual, but when I log in to character selection I get a message that my spells file is outdated (ERRORCODE SP_1). I've replaced all of the files at least 5 times now with no change.

Sounds like others are having a similar issue. Any suggestions?

[mdavis522]

Is it just me, or did the sound effect change? The loot change and the walking are noticeably different. I've just logged in for the first time in months and just installed v44. I don't remember the looting money ever sounding like this before on live EQ. Am I going crazy?

[mdavis522]

Well d/l the patch, installed now nothing works. Get msg can't find eqgame. Anything short of a complete reinstall to fix this?

It did that to me, too, when I tried to run as administrator. I can't run as admin anymore. I just have to double click it.

[Vibe]

why am I getting so many errors when im trying to extract this into the EQ folder? can anyone help?

[Vibe]

have 101 errors trying to extract this crap :(

[Vibe]

anybody help please

[myriverse]

Hacky New Year! And Pras!

[imbolc]

HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT FILES TO PLAY p1999 EQ? v44 files?

[myriverse]

The download is a standard, old .zip file. Extract it to your P99 folder, using a standard, old archive program (WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRAR, IZarc), overwriting everything that's already in the folder.

[imbolc]

lol myriverse I have no idea were to find a zip file a friend built me this comp and I am new at it all... he is not around to show me and now all the clicking I did has put about 14 new files all over my computer and I still cannot get into game.

[Sorn]

imbolc, your downloaded files should go into your downloads folder. Once you have it, you can usually double-click on the file to open up the extract window. If you run into trouble looking at the contents of the zip file, it's possible you may not have a zip extraction software on your machine. If this is the case, you have to get that first before anything else.

[tiadashi]

Really excited about stonebrundt but it sounds like maybe i should wait to install the patch given all the errors listed above - I dont care sbout sounds but the game not working or the zone to stonebrundt not zoning there would suck

Thxs for the update though p99 folks 8)

[Symbioticforks]

Gnomish Vanishing Device is now broken and cannot be recharged via class 5 mana battery toolbox combine. New patch broke that.

Candy Corn from Halloween Event is now gone! Had no idea it was SEASONAL NO RENT would be nice to have that back though.

White Dragonscale Helm MR amount is still below the correct amount.

[tiadashi]

A related question to updates - im updating my laptop so I can play on it as - do I need all the separate updates since i last played or just the latest?

Never gonna happen is it. Mine is my favourite character to group with but I'm so tired of playing him gimped I barely touch him these days.

Are the Stonebrunt port spells available, or are those coming in a later patch?

Don't think we get Stonebrunt ports in classic. I know we get Surefall Glade/self-ports to Velious fairly late.

Hi Devs, thanks for the awesome work.

From the patch timeline on p99 wiki it seems we should have got the SG revamp before we got Stonebrunt. Is there any word on this and can we expect it any time soon?

Thanks!

Nilbog: Flowers of Functionality must be equipped to click

Sadface. It was later changed back. Clicked mine from inventory for years. Was inventory click within this timeline? I do remember having to equip it. Dont remember when it went back to inventory slot though.

[salimoneus]

A 'thank you' for asking to much for that item?

A 'thank you' for asking for payment(s) for hate loot in general?


If people are willing to buy it, someone is gonna sell it. So blame the buyers, this is free market economics stuff.


Cockblocking a whole zone and it's mini's from causal players, smaller guilds, and their members from farming it up legit and somehow you're asking for a 'thank you'?

Yea, all that sucks, oh well.

Velious hasn't been any more unhealthy to the server than the rest of the past timeline. Anyone who expected Velious to solve all the world's problems, was indeed fooling themselves.

Just sit back, have fun, help beta test, and wait for the "real" blue server.

[mdavis522]

I'm only having two little issues. One is the money loot sound seems weird. Doesn't sound right at all. And now I cant hear rain. I didn't think it would bother me this much, actually. I guess once you get used to something like that, it becomes very noticeable when it's off. Anyone else notice that?

[tiadashi]

I have always noticed the rain sounds and the rest sounds good to me

Oh no shit you're right, I was looking at the platinum edition. Hard to believe Titanium is still that high? Although a quick look at SOLD items several show up at around $40.

People try and sell it so high cause it's every expansion every made for EQ and lot of people know about P99 and how it's needed to play P99.

[LordAtlass]

my body vanished after i died? how do i go about getting it back ?

[vinfang]

I'm getting an error that my spells file is out of date. I downloaded the V44 zip in this sticky and extracted it to my everquest folder and I'm assuming the spells out of date it's referring to is these 3 files

spells_us 1/1/2017
spellsnew.edd 1/31/2016
spellsneww.eff 1/31/2016

inside the EverQuest folder, and I checked the dates and they're the same as what came in the P99V44, but the game says they're out of date. Am I suppose to look for the spells file in a different post?

[Palian]

Make sure Those spell files are in the same file as the launch titanium, license, etc files. If they are in a separate folder in the file it may cause some error. It did with me. So I extracted the files again and put them directly into the same EQTitanium file(that's what mine is called) Note the origianl file name will be EverQuest Red99 or so. When i extraced them i just named it the EQTitanium do that they would get foled into the EQTitanium file i already had.

In your EQEmulator folder it would show 2 folders Unless you named it diff.

EQTitanium
EverQuest Red99
etc
etc

[vinfang]

I found out the issue was due to my antivirus deleting the dsetup.dll and I just never noticed that my antivirus was deleting that file. Once I made my AV not scan the everquest folder, I've been able to log in fine now without the spells are out of date error.

[vinfang]

I found out it was because I didn't notice my antivirus deleting the dsetup.dll file. Apparently having that file be deleted can cause the spells file to be out of date error. I made my AV ignore the Everquest folder and it's not trying to delete that file anymore now.

[Salerno]

can someone provide a google drive download for these files? for some reason my ip is blocking the download...
