Emulation Servers!

[Tunabros]

Hey Hey People of the internet!

We all play and downloaded project 1999: Classic Everquest because we wanted to

experience classic again right? (or live just sucks :D )

We remember fondly of old classic titles and the memories we had in them. Like, if you

wanted to play wow again, you weren't talking about the game today.

You were talking about VANILLA wow!

So that made me think, anyone know any cool emu servers out there for games that

emulated classic mmos or the classic ERA of a mmo?

Im curious! I only played a few such as Nasomi (Final Fantasy Xl), UO outlands(Ultima


Online), SWG Legends (Star Wars Galaxies), and a bunch of Lineage 2 servers.

TAKP is a great alternative to p99 EverQuest. Currently in Luclin and will be in Planes of Power next year. Healthy population, friendly community - much more era-accurate than p99, too.

Looks like a few people from Kittens are playing Star Wars Galaxies. Almost curious enough to try that out - maybe after the holidays I'll give it a shot.

Have heard good things about the DAoC Phoenix servers but haven't given them a try myself.

I was there at the launch of DaoC Pheonix Server. I was surprised to see a lot of EQ

players around. It was a lot of grouping in the beginning and small pvp.

But now the population has died down pretty drastically. I kinda miss pvp in old

retro mmos where dying has severe penalties.

I still hop on tibia and osrs and do some pking tho :D

might be slightly off topic but within the classic wow community ive gotten hooked into hardcore mode, just an offshoot of recording ur gameplay to 60 and deleting if you die. just watched a man delete his level 60 in scholomance today, felt good.

Dark Age of Camelot was always like that. For some reason that game has always had problems with player retention. Even its commercial version followed the pattern of initial outpouring followed by relatively rapid decline until an expansion opened. I think that pattern may be a result of what that game is: It's good enough to be worth playing, but has just enough faults to keep it from holding people very well. Many of its faults were consequence of its limited production budget. It was well made for what it was and in truth made the most of limited resources, but both the character classes and content felt very "thin" compared even to EQ. I liked DAOC when I tried it, but it couldn't hold me there long term, either. Moreso than anything else it left me wishing it had been constructed with a larger budget.

nasomi is disgusting, that guy is a total sicko and has no idea how to run a server. He just copied project darkstar emu package and launched a pile of crap.


He has no way of defending against hackers that hoard all the boss mobs and RMT runs rampant.

I cant think of a single emu worth playing currently

TakP is the priestinest EQ of the emus, but it's boxing enabled, I never grouped on there once.

Also no pvp and at HGs having no pvp enabled was cringe. I had to be nice to ppl.

Watching pppl just farming up 100k plat to buy stuff in the bazaar instead of grouping and exploring the world was cringe.

The servers are excellent, the people are excellent, the META is wrekt. I think my wiz is almost 60, but I don't want to grind AAs.

There's an Earth and Beyond emu.

I still think it's a fun game. Class/race combos that were unique and each contributed a specific dynamic. I effectively have a cleric that can port. Best of both worlds!

A lot of companies have tried to re-create this, are we just failing to recreate what we already achieved???! Neat!

wow haha that actually looks kinda fun

sad to see a low population though =(

[HalflingSpergand]

A classic tanarus server would be sweet. None of the roxcket wars nonsense. That game was fun

It had an interesting leveling mechanism too. Max level was 150 which would be level 50 in Combat, Exploration, and Trade. But, if you maxed one out further xp would go to the others. So, in theory, it'd be possible to hit max level doing nothing but mining asteroids (Trade), taking groups on tours to reveal their mini map (Exploration), or just blowing stuff up.

Decent tradeskill system and one neat feature was players could make better gear than what was sold by vendors and it even competed with most dropped items. Plus, crafted items told you who they were made by - so you always remembered who to ask for your next tier shield/engine/gun/whatever.

EA killed it too soon imho.

have been seeing a lot of this type of stuff and thought it was pretty neat too, wish there were some novelty servers where it was just a rule set.
