I kinda like knowing what mobs drop what.

Sounds very un classic

[loramin]

It's an interesting idea, I'll give them that.

Giving out items on random mobs still way more classic to me than giving them out as rewards to people who sit in line long enough waiting for them. At least with the random mobs you still have to need some luck and effort; with /list, P99 gives items (so good they were removed from the game) to people who didn't play the game (or sleep) for days at a time :(

[Hibren]

Right? This is more CLASSIC than P99. You dont know what to camp or where you should be. Going to be more fun than whatever you people are doing over here

This is exactly right, the player knowledge of EQ is what prevents P99 from being the game from '99. Who cares how finely tuned a server is when every player knows the loot table from every mob, and the fight strategy for every raid?

I havent tried a TLP, will they have the old school UI? Are the TLP servers still inundated with the scores of ridiculous windows/features that no one needs?

Yes :(

[Hibren]

You can close UI windows.... Its really not that complicated

[starkind]

Yeah it's playable.

Tbh if ur really dying to explore zones and expacs after velious this seems OK.

I really wanted to get into endgame live EQ, contemporary expac personally. Couldn't make it tho. Found it lonely. Client was a bit too buggy for me personally.

[Thrombosis]

Good idea but what's with the aggressive timeline. One month for classic then two months for Kunark then 2 or 3 months for every expansion after that. LOL I'd still be levelling in Befallen when PoP opens.

[DMN]

Huh?
What?
no.

Anyone able to explain in lame details how live exp was boosted and this is the base exp for tlp.

Also explain how guilds each get their own instanced version of raid zones on live/tlp.

U talk to a mob in a raid grp and it spawns the zone for u? kinda like the GoD adventure system I guess. Where ur raid/grp was flagged for a zone/instance.?

EXP is probably 300% compared to p99?

No one wants to actchually level for the 99th time it's all about farming and looking at all the zone graphics/models. Storing up Krono via buyin tokens with plat u get from getting items?

[Nirgon]

200 on blue, 400 on green when I checked

Def don't need teal

[unsunghero]

I’m going to check out the Mischief server when it opens for sure

It supposedly also will have FV ruleset which means ALL gear tradeable, including raid gear. I played on FV on live and it was fun to buy raid gear, although it did result in a lot of RMT

[Nocht]

Does anybody know if the Veteran AA rewards work on TLP servers?

[UrkTheSlayer]

Yes you can get aa exp around luclin, a little before I believe.

Also everyone gets a origin(original character creation location gate) aa around lvl 10 on live, even tlps.

TLP’s are more content specific and not era qol specific.

No corpse runs.

[unsunghero]

One thing I didn’t mention is if this server has the FV ruleset then even quest drops for epics or other involved quests can be tradeable, although the epics themselves for sure won’t be

I remember on FV when I was doing the necro epic 1.0, 2.0 and 2.5 quests (which were required even years later because the 2.5 epic was best in slot for main hand due to being the ONLY non-AA way to greatly boost DOT crit chance), that I bought a few of the quest pieces I needed for the epic from the bazaar

[VexNemox]

This is all very interesting but someone correct me if I am wrong...it has Mangler xp which I googled and found that is comparative to Ragefire xp which apparently is eq vanilla x2xp ?

Another question, how lively are these TLPs? Right now on green it feels very dead until prime hours, I hadn't played in a year on green and last I was on before returning it was far more lively with ~800 off peak and ~1200 peak population.

[Hibren]

Every zone will have 20+ players in it. Commonlands 200+ for the first few months as a minimum. In lguk in classic expect 10 or more /pickzones with everything camped on both live and dead side 24/7 easily 5-10 times the number of players on p99. Its kinda gross, but in a good way.

Classic 99 was kinda gross when it came to lguk, etc. Everything camped and players waiting at the zone for group spots to open up. This was months and months after launch. Thats what I miss with P99 since I wasn't on green at launch.

Upon launch it will probably be capped at 2k players with a queue. Meaning that only people trying to log in at 4am will get in

This number will slowly dwindle as the lifespan goes on, but possibly less than other TLP’s whose numbers typically tank when the next TLP launches because this one will have a unique ruleset

They should boot up teal and forced seal team onto it.

And anyone else who wants to monopolize raid content.
Just send them to the meta server and let everyone else enjoy the classic experience.

Ya if end game and raiding wasn’t completely FUBAR on p99 I would certainly be less incentivized to check out TLP’s in addition to playing here. Although if p99 had an awesome and fair end game it would probably gank so many players from live and TLP servers that it could actually get shut down by Daybreak due to costing them too much business

my only point though, was, that raiding on green isn't classic because all the mechanics are known to the hardcore raiders so there is no need to learn strats.
