daybreak does something better than p99

I played on a couple of those for a few weeks a piece. I come back to p99 all the time and it's been 2 decades /shrug

[starkind]

Both had pros and cons.


P99s community tho... yeesh....

I enjoy the art of the old game. And storylines. That is about it. Wow is a way better actual "game" sport. Grind. Whatever.

EQ is horribly unfinished and broken. They cash grabbed pixel addicts in velious and rarely released a single interesting quest or npc dialog since pop.

Well, quests, npcs of the old game not storylines.

I played on Aradune with a friend a few months shortly after its launch and we had fun. Triple attack for Rangers before Kunark was LOL.

PoP(LDoN) locked Agnarr sounds p cool if the population is alot higher than TAKP. :cool:

[Tunabros]

i played a lot of agnarr

was fun

[Danth]

Eq-live isn't the same game as P1999 except in name. You might as well be comparing P99 to FF14 or Warcraft or Elder Scrolls.

[Jibartik]

those servers are all whores.

p99 is wife material.

[Raj]

LoL

But whores wouldnt exist forever if people always thought their spouses were super fun. I guess there will always be a place for both kinds of EQ too? :cool:

[Jibartik]

True we'd never be messing with those if we had discord and purple99

stopped reading here.


I like playing an mmo that is closed off on content, as the awesome gear i've earned on my toons isn't going to become obsolete ever. Otherwise, it just feels like a big carrot on a stick, without the mount speed increase.

[starkind]

The gear u get endgame wow is always uber for the expansion u get it. Also they are tacking away from borrowed power mechanics.

Velious uber gear is always Velious uber gear. No one is forcing you to upgrade. You can still enjoy vanilla through Velious just like you always have. Luclin is a brand new game and in fact Velious gear is adequate for 90% of Luclin. So idk y u bitch about gear becoming obsolete its the dumbest thing ever lol.

enjoy that banked Thunderfury. worth the hours. (lol)

[Rager and Quitter]

No, when my wife feels frisky, I never pass it up. For a video game? Come on. That's pathetic. People have straight bailed on me playing games for booty and I've never once been angry at it. People are far, far too invested in a game if they're forfeiting real life interactions for more flashing colors on a computer monitor.

I must be way too high because I posted a reply to the wrong thread! ROFL!

[Zoolander]

the goal of everquest, by design, is to reach endgame content, once its done you need something new. thats what expansions are for. and since velious is closing the loop on p99 it would be about time to restart the cycle.

12 years, in words, TWELFE YEARS, of 3 expansions that can be done within 3 years without any reset is mindblowing.

sure, lets play it slow paced, why not, lets make it 6 years for restarts, no problem. but come oneveryone, and i mean everyone in this forum will concur that its about time to open a new server.

[Raj]

I must be way too high because I posted a reply to the wrong thread! ROFL!

Lol, this guy gets laid and maybe gets high AF pretty often too? :cool: How did he ever find P99?! :p

[Zoolander]

mudflation is a real thing that easily trivializes the whole server.

i keep loging back on blue and red once every blue moon just to log off 5 mins later after seeing all those supertwinked lowlevels in EC.

especialy blue looks like a reanimated zombie with full TOV gear equiped fashion models with their epics standing afk at the ledge of ec-tunnel.

what an achievement after 12 years.

nilbog, was that your vision in 2009/2010? dont get me wrong, p99 is still the best out there. but you just need to get the most out of it. imagine all those returning players every few years after resets.

Dey break games

[Gustoo]

Rdy for new server confirmed

[PlsNoBan]

The sales pitch for Green99 we got (correct me if I'm wrong?) was that it was supposed to be a recycle server. Start classic > progress through timeline til end of Velious > Dump existing chars into Blue > Wipe then rinse and repeat. This got a LOT of people (myself included) excited. Semi regular wipes and restarts with P99 ruleset would actually be a lot of fun. I kinda missed the green launch being busy with other shit and now I feel like it's too late to start from scratch. Kinda just holding out for a reset that feels like it should already be here according to the timeline we were pitched. Unfortunately as far as I can tell there has been radio silence and not even a hint at when/if it's actually going to happen.

Kind of a bummer that they haven't even put out a rough estimate or even confirmed that the plan is still to merge into blue and restart. I've heard rumors going around that they aren't even planning on merging anymore but who knows cause there doesn't seem to be any communication

[Tongpow]

>daybreak does something better than p99

even live isn't that bad really, ive had a blast leveling my old character and doing the new Kunark,Velious and Luclin 6 man content

the stats are bonkers retarded now though, my necro has 200k hp and does like 1.5 million damage a tic when i pop all the things.

[A Knight]

I heard classic Mischief has infinite bag/weight reduction. Not sure if it's true.

I'm also a devout Priest that practices abstinence of sex, and I party with Charlie sheen. Real.

To admit ones sins, and sound less cool and strip of ones ego, I'll truthfully say; I wonder if all the Luclin people were like me when I got free plat when I first started on live in 2000.

Similarly, possibly when they run around with their books, they feel a fake feeling that they earned all the things, people in the classic world did.

So I see that in Mischief. Maybe they like it maybe they don't. But probably some other group of people who don't appreciate original. Plus live doesn't like me anymore so I probably won't ever find out. If I am in infinite dimensions though, I have figured, they may not know me anymore.

[foxchris509]

I played on mangler from day 1 to the end of oow and it was fun cuz I never played those xpacs before. But all the cheating/botting that went on ruined it. Very suspicious that it was daybreak employees trying to make extra cash. Way too much lag and true box is a joke. Daybreak is completely unable to police or even run their own servers better than p99. But if you want to see some content you haven’t before it might be worth it to try a new tlp sometime idk maybe daybreak has improved some things. New 64bit client and talks of more to come so who knows.

[cd288]

And then those servers are eventually ghost towns that people never go back to

[Jibartik]

Have we passed the green timeline? Just flip the switch!!!!!!!!!

[bomaroast]

The sales pitch for Green99 we got (correct me if I'm wrong?) was that it was supposed to be a recycle server.

I haven't played in a year, since I don't enjoy the P99 raid scene or the general lust over loot. New servers are all I'm here for. I'll only play classes that I haven't played previously from now on.

[Jibartik]

lets all just hope its because they're burred under tasks trying to figure out how to make nameplates purple, and teams pvp function properly.

[Graahle]

Many of you lunatics would enjoy it honestly. You'd finally get to see how completely overrated Velious is.

Pick up and what? Do the same lvl 60 velious group content / poopsock the same raid targets you've done for 10+ years on the same stale server? I can still pick up my NES too. There's a reason it collects dust in the closet

Those severs, much like EQ2 and Wow, never held my interest because the things you accomplish don't feel significant because everything is so hand-holdy and easy. Whereas p99 I've been playing for like twelve years. Make of that what you will.

Rsync to offsite backups in Taiwan?

[starkind]

Rsync to offsite backups in Taiwan?

Would have done at least once after each major expansion or big patch. Probably duplicate to NY, cali, eu, China or Australia, at least the base server side db and characters stats, lvls.
