While waiting for a new red server...

Skeram - The only server you should play on
Classic WoW - SKERAM



The only server you should play.



SKERAM - What is so special about this server? Well, less than a year ago, this horde dominated server became the premier hard mode of world of warcraft when 99% of the alliance population took advantage of blizzard's free transfers (designed to alleviate queue times) and got the F out of dodge. Now the server is 97/3 97% Horde 3% Alliance. With a healthy horde population of 3000+ players, it's being used by them to be able to free farm with no contest.

As for the alliance... this server is being used to provide an elite ultra hard game mode environment where only the strong survive and your name is truly remembered amongst not only fellow allies but the enemy as well. This server is where only the STRONG survive.



At first glance you probably think the server would be a ghost town? actually since there's only around 100 alliance players, the community is even STRONGER! Everyone knows everyone on this server, and you will be welcomed with open arms.

Perhaps you're looking for a fresh start, or to come back to the game? Are you looking for a true challenge? Are you seeking an old school community in gaming where you remember everyone's name, know what they look like, and can actually make a difference? Skeram is the place. Do you enjoy gathering? having YOUR profession be utilized? A server where your class REALLY MATTERS.



One of the reasons i enjoy Skeram so much is you can have the privacy, calm, zen of a solo game, but when you wanna play with others you're a click vaway from rallying up the whole alliance population on the server and getting stuff done. The World of Warcraft is truly your oyster on Skeram.

I can't tell if that is supposed to be a joke.

I would rather play tear jerkingly depressing post LDON live everquest PVP on "zek" server with pathetic Tallon Zek Vallon Zek players than that man.

[Gustoo]

I do appreciate you posting in the red forum though. Hopefully all the other active users of project 1999 red forum can get together and berate wow.

[Bonethunder]

why would you join a server with 99% Horde

wow classic is literally all warriors and all content and pvp is dumbed down whats the point?

[Tassador]

Is it drugs every time or is it drugs?

[Knuckle]

I remember I leveled to 34 on my night elf Druid on Skeram and quit classic for a long time. Came back around October 2020 and was super surreal, I mean we are talking a busting alliance at launch, zones PACKED.

Storm wind was EMPTY. Like I thought I was on a private server was so confused actually alt tabbed to make sure I wasn’t running ascension or some random emu. Turned out the alliance pop had shrunk so much that it was like 95% horde now. There’s a video about it and why it’s cool for alliance since you can pick your battles, but I’ve always been a market hype beast to fish up mats and sell them, and same for cooking the nightfin etc... was a bit of a penal deflater.

That said I still dabble on bloodsail gonna get serious about hardcore challenge and actually make it to 60 one day lol.

Not an emulated server? gtfo. It's 2021, can't believe noobs are still paying subscription fees. Especially for old ass games.

[Tunabros]

Everquest > WoW

[Bonethunder]

all the wow classic servers died fast

I’d pay 200 a month for non emulated original code actual classic rallos zek with population

[magnetaress]

I feel like this is some kinda of recruitment for Ragnarok.

Been there. Done that. Ice giants won.

Some people can afford $15/mo for a live population server of a game they like, not everyone plays emu cuz their on welfare. *shrug*

[magnetaress]

If I wasn't on welfare I could 10 box live. Omg. Do u realize how much money is out there, I could produce my own games.

I was actually thinking about an 8bit indie, resource fantasy game with some fun environments for mobile again.

Like grow flowers that orcs like to make peace and trade with them for manastones and maybe not make that alliance with the dork elves, with like farming, automation, kinda somewhat minecrafty or dwarf forteressey.

There actually was a pretty cool looking retro pixelized mmo kickstarted by none other than john smedley. Didn't finish making it though, i kept it bookmarked to see if it would. RIP.

So I just went to find it and found this interesting blurb:
Amazon Game Studios announced yesterday that it had picked up MMORPG genre veteran John Smedley to helm one of its up-and-coming online game studios. Today, it published a blog post with a photograph of the team, which appears to show that Smed brought along with him several familiar faces from Pixelmage Games.

Anyway, the game below:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/413110/Heros_Song/

It actually looked really exciting, kinda taking elements from UO and everquest and unlocking a lot more content and depth by way of lower graphic requirements and the classic topdown retro, but with very stylish art flair.

Look at that diety pick screen. that screams genesis/snes RPG era style, fkin love it.

[Gustoo]

Cool. I was thinking John Smedley was Smedy here on p99. Maybe he is. Cool.

This is straight up wicked. :eek: :D :cool:

I watched the video on the steam link and just imagined the game was really the best ever and had a pretty good time.

[silo32]

The rich get rich and stay rich by being penny-pinching frugal misers. The greatest thing this server has going for it is that it's free. I guess emulators have spoiled me. FREE is the only way to go.

Are you implying the rich play emulated servers? half the forum posters would have you believe they are wealthy beyond measure, outlander.

[Old_PVP]

Are you implying the rich play emulated servers?

Nope. I'm implying that paying $15/month to play a game that you can otherwise play for free is a waste of money, even if the amount seemingly appears inconsequential. By applying this frugal methodology to all aspects of your life, maybe you too can become rich and stay rich. Don't care though, do as you will...pay no heed to my unsolicited, sagely advice.

Just my one cent (too frugal to give 2 cents) ;)

I would agree if the private servers were pushing the same quality of playerbase and community, and if they got rid of dynamic spawns I would say the experience is overall significantly better than private server, plus the legitimacy of your character being around forever and after unsubbing if I want to come back later.

I am actually quite frugal, but it's choosing when to be frugal around certain things that determines my QoL.

[Gustoo]

Weighing in again to say that I'd pay 500 a month for 2 years of everquest rallos zek pvp with item loot full actual ruleset with 1000 players, 800 of which are WOW refugees that suck at eq so I can win.

:P

I'm going to be a sad old man one day paying people to play EQ. They will all be uninterested. I'll be the guy from the movie "Mr. Nobody" but while playing on a windows 98 computer while everyone is interested in what foods we ate during my time and studying me.

a man can dream.

I am not fully set on nostalgia only. If someone made a new legitimate "hard" mmo that wasn't stupid but just let you try to survive the environment that was in place, I would play it.

EQ is unique these days in that the world is just there whether or not your character is in it. Your character shows up (cuz you crawl down into that dungeon) and now you need to figure out what to do in order to survive.

Other games don't even let you get in this kinda situation with your dead body at the bottom of a hole and no ability to get down there, recover corpse and get back.

HOWEVER you could hire a level 1 rogue to sneak hide down there and get it for you, assuming he doesn't take the corpse further down and demand ransom or something.

On rallos zek I think someone with /consent was able to loot your corpse but I can only remember it a little bit. Not sure if that was the case on not pvp or not item loot servers.


Anyways the point is that I am not dead set on living a life of nostalgia. I just like MMORPG games and haven't found one that is as good as EQ. I have played demon souls and dark souls for being hard mode semi co-op games but they aren't MMOs. They are pretty cool because if you can dodge a monster perfectly for like an hour you can beat some seemingly invincible dudes at level zero.

But it doesn't feel vast and like a whole world the same way this does.

Yea. Luclin was such a cut and scar in my life though that, modern graphics on mmo might always put me into a panic. Like a car crash survivor. I heard brad worked on Luclin so I hate to talk bad about it too much.

I've heard it repeated and I've repeated it, people lose focus on the world aspect. It would be as if chess became popular and then people tried to make it a better sport. The core of mmo's started out as a simulated world. Now its instance quest. Not saying instances never work. If someone logs in and something in the world makes what that person wanted to log on to do not possible, then that's what has to be dealt with or else the world is removed from the game.

Also there is no lotto or gamble like little kids pretending to play. Everything has to be corporate where they are are clinging glasses at the top trying to be the best at business. I hope one day MMOs can come back where people say, "Hey why not try this world? Oh it didn't work? Oh well there are plenty other good ones out there."

Having unique velious graphics taken away in Luclin was the first step of denial thinking, "No this is fine. There's nothing wrong with this. Maybe they just haven't installed them yet." But it felt like someone saying, "This is what you need in life." Why? Why do we need all armor to look the same?

Its going to be hilarious when it turns out that modern EQ is awesome and I just didn't like it because I didn't finish velious all the way. Doubt it.

Anytime one novel is answered by another you figure a special internet connection was made. Maybe now you all can keep it in pms.
