Serious question about a server.

[clevergirl]

Would anyone endorse a 1 box server that was classic 1-50 only. Stuff like manastone and Rubicite in permanently. Classic exp rates, or maybe even an across the board 50% exp penalty?

[shuklak]

Define endorse.

[clevergirl]

Define endorse.

Like would you feel good about it and flirt with the idea of having a character there.

Classic doesn't have enough content to be locked there forever

Classic doesn't have enough content to be locked there forever

I hate the idea of the classic experience being corrupted by impure kunark + itemization and I also hate the idea of everyone spreading out and the more mediocre old world becoming less interesting and empty. It's nice when people are in a zone and it's busy and it causes strife and social interaction.

I want to see people on their 20th level 50 farming orc scalps, not off in NTOV.

You could also, like not pay there, or only have an alt there. I know it wouldnt be hard to have like the option of having a single toon there at lvl 50 even with an across the bored 50% exp penalty and still have 7 level 60's in NToV on blue99.

once you think of this server as a museum you will start to understand why this will never happen. people just like looking at their stuff.

Who's going to build it?

Main problem the original game has is it gets kind of thin on content, particularly for levels 45-plus. The Hole didn't exist, Kedge was a broken mess, and 50-100 people crammed into each of Guk and Sol-B gets old quick.

True.

[Ravager]

It could work, just not with classic content. Would need a lot more stuff to do weather quests or crawls balanced out across all zones, races and classes.

Looking at bazzar prices and that people are giving away classic loot that use to go for 500pp... IDK a fresh classic only server seems like it would be a big draw for about 500 people.

I remember blue99 when it launched and we were hitting like 600-700 a night and royals in solb was poppin, those where good times.

P1999 didn't get those numbers until some months after launch. Initially it had more like 100-150 or so, then grew gradually but consistently from there. If I recall they removed global OOC after nightly average populations passed 400-500 or so.

A P99 re-launch would attract a bunch of people, but it has the benefit of the P99 "brand." I would expect an independent server to have a population more like what you expect, at least until such a time as it built its own brand.

Best EQ era.

No, I would not have a character there. P99 is my last venture into EQ.

[Nexii]

You'd need all the original level 50 zones I think or there wouldn't be much to do
The Hole, Kedge, Plane of Hate, Plane of Fear, Plane of Sky

[Jimjam]

Ideally the server would be after legacy items are removed and before planes are added.

I'd accept Temple of Sol Ro being added in.

[NegaStoat]

Someone previously mentioned the idea of a full content P1999 server with correct progression with a level 39 hardcap on characters, to make it a Hardmode play style. For a lot of reasons I'm still really keen on it.

[solleks]

no legacy items ever and massive exp penalty

Even around December 2009 I remember he served only having 200-300 people during prime.

velious w/ level 50 level cap

velious w/ level 50 level cap

This would just make the only zones used like the orcs an crystal caverns and velks :( the old world would be empty and forgotten.

--------------------------

on an aside note

May I ask why legacy items are so horrible? Why do people hate them so much?

[Ravager]

Manastone is cheese. Guise and Rubicite, not that big a deal, but would be lame if everyone had them. Recharging, Mallets, Puppet Strings, DA Idols, Root Nets are the things that should be removed from any new server since they are pretty much game breaking. No, you should not be able to kill a dragon less than a minute after it spawns.

Thanks! And, yeah.

[Nagoya]

that would be nice. and once you're level 50 and you have killed nagafen, vox and phinny once each you get some endroll credits with a cool music and a "Congratulations! You have won the game!" 80s NES style.

I would play that.
