The future of Project1999

[Mazoku]

We have always been taught to not stress the seasons of past. Instead we must look at those memories fondly and learn what we will from them. Then there is the future; It is something we must always plan for. I believe that the future deserves a project1999.

I have a proposition which I raised in /ooc in Wakening Lands one day and it received positive reception and here it is:


For the future: The developers should make a time AND progression locked Rainbow server. It would have PvP raids and you cannot rush content due to the time locks. You also can't progress to the new expansion until you unlock specific seals and locks. (Kill certain bosses in a specific order)

Then when when it gets to the end of Velious and Sleeper is woken up, the server is wiped clean. (Sleeper kills EVERYONE)

Thus a self sustaining classic EQ experience would be always be there. The future of the server would be determined by the players.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

medication.

Sounds like a lot of effort for a volunteer staff

Nope.

i was hoping for a nude patch m'self especially for ogres

It doesn't matter what the P99 staff does, any content canon or custom will be blown through.

All of us are experts on everquest, theres literally nothing they can do to throw us a curve ball.

They could drop Claws of Veeshan content (current live xpac) on us and we'd have to grind a bit of xp, then we'd destroy it.

[Trexller]

The next live xpac actually looks cool (for the first time in like decades)

Aten Ha Ra is back to her old tricks and mayhem

[unsunghero]

With that much effort involved, why not just make instanced raids zones?

The future of P99 is complete shutdown of the servers, thereby nullifying your progress and time spent. All you will have is your memories of being fuckbags to each other.

Yall mother fuckers need Jesus.

True, but thats also true with regard to the entire universe.

even long before that, the sun (our star) will run low on fuel, become a red giant and expand to the orbit of mars, incinerating everything.

It doesn't matter what you do in life, because even "all of life" will end, so just chase anything that makes you feel good.

Jesus needs ME, I dont need Jesus. Without me, there is no one to believe in a diety, thusly the deity cannot exist.

I fully endorse OPs server btw.

[Gatordash]

The future is probably a neglected server from the staff now that their project is completed or they get a lawsuit and have to shut it down. :)

I vote for more flurry adds.

Shadow Knights/Paladins:

Finally, my day has come.

Its time for the great reset.

I never took screenshots on live and I regret it, so now I take too many in the hope that when the server shuts down I can look at them years down the line with my homies and remember the good times we had on P99. All good things... as they say.

The thing is, what has this all been for? Blue was Alpha..Green is Beta..and Red is dead. The whole point of this was to relive classic EQ, why not make it last forever in a self destructive waltz of Classic, Kunark and Velious? Otherwise they will have made 3 servers with a shelf-life of 4-5 years and 10 years until it's completely stale. I say bring about Rainbow Server!

The thing to do would be make 4 servers: you can roll on any server, but each character has a 1 year shelf life on any server but Red. Spend a year on Classic, get automoved to Kunark. Spend a year on Kunark, get automoved to Velious. Spend a year on Velious, get automoved to Turdville. That'll prevent 8 slots of level 60's from farming the shit out of everything except on the server nobody gives a shit about.

I still think rap battles for FTE would benefit the entire community. Get rid of camping, bring in sick roasts, the peanut gallery and the true test of meaning.
