Any idea on when Kunark will be added?

[VincentVolaju]

Like title says, anyone have any ideas on when they think Kunark will be added to the server?

[Dukat]

If the P99 server keeps pace with the original release it will be 8 more months till Kunark. Seems a little long for content the players have already beaten to death, so I would bet on somewhere between 3-5 months.

[Taminy]

Much of this is dependent on the devs actually completing Kunark.

There is still a lot of work to do.

[atvaata]

less speculation. if the devs had it done, they could release it tomorrow if they want.

stop asking this question.

it will be out when its out. Yer here at their whim, dont forget this.

[redghosthunter]

Has the Mob Bosses-- All , been taken down? Love to see the screenshots

[Virtuosos]

all have, and all are on farm mode lol

believe a post somewhere says that there are over 400 quest lines broken and many more bugs involved with kunark that they are only partially working on, while mainly focusing on perfecting what they already have.


hell, i hope it takes awhile...i want to get two or three level 50's by that point lol

I might be wrong, but isn't Kunark already done on other eqemu servers? Ie PEQ, VZTZ... is there really any need to 'redo' in for p99?

Yes, because Verant (and other servers) have changed it quite a bit since it's release. Case and point: Chardok. There's others I'm sure, but I didn't play Kunark when it was released so I'm not sure. That's just the easiest example.

[Swindle]

Last time I played on EQlive the "good" outpost in Firona Vie was taken over by Inkies and the Wood Elves and High Elves were banished to some nearby ruins by the Drolvarg caves. Like Chardok, that will need re-doing.

This has been speculated on and respeculated on ad nauseum...

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2478&highlight=timeline

In other words, nobody knows and it is all speculation.

My opinion - the original timeline idea seems to have gone out the window with the recent "quicker than classic" releases, which is sad. So Kunark will probably be out soon, which is far, far, sadder.

[VincentVolaju]

Ive never made it to 50 before in EQ, I always played more UO back in 98-02, so I was wondering. For someone who isnt too familiar with the higher leveler zones in EQ, but has been playin MMOs for 12 years. If I were make a Mage and start playing about 6-10ish hours a day, around how long do you guys think it would take me to get 50? I know it depends on alot of different things but, just a rough est. how long do you all think?

Roughly 3-4 weeks is all it would take, playing that many hours a day. You may find a problem getting into higher end guilds tho...since there are 50 bajillion (love that Day) mages on the server. Then again, maybe not...who knows.

[Zarniwooop]

I was hoping for a year of classic as work has pulled me out of the game for at least a month and probably another few weeks on top.

I'm having just a ton of fun with classic.

[Ermonican]

I was hoping for a year of classic Me too! Life is a heck of lot more busy these days compared to 1999 :D

But 90% of the spawns, items, quests etc will be the same so can just be ported across from PEQ. People are talking like they're gonna have to recode every quest in perl and determine every mob's spawnpoint, which shouldn't be needed if the other eqemu projects share that info.

Assuming the 90% figure is accurate, don't assume that 10% of Kunark is some trivial amount of content.

There's also the project unto itself of determining what changed since then, and when, where, and how. Also not trivial, especially considering PEQ is known to contain quite a bit of custom content. Identifying that should be a little easier, but what do I know.

Further, I imagine that the Kunark stuff will only get looked into heavily once most of the issues with "classic" are worked out. I don't know whether the devs have already started in with Kunark, but it wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't.

Nice attempt to trivialize the effort involved by completely making up a statistic with no apparent familiarity with the project whatsoever. This game is free for us to play. Some respect and gratitude seem like the least we can return.

[Finawin]

90%? lol

Somebody never played back then to know the difference...

Why do you guys have to be such dicks to eath other all the time? It seems like a lot of you guys jump at any chance to show someone up, flame them, flash your uber 1337 eq knowledge, and just generally use any opportunity to make your pathetic selves feel better by putting someone else down. You play a fucking decade+ old mmorpg and a lot of you derive way too much self importance from it. I feel sorry for a lot of you, you know who you are.

[Morfnblorsh]

Well, possibly, because someone made a wildly unreasonable claim and needed to be educated. Rudeness begets rudeness I suppose.

I didn't see anything rude about that post about 90% of kunark or some shit. So fucking what the guy didnt know what he was talking about, is this a reason for all the internet tough guy EQ nerds to come out of the woodwork to flame someone? There's a lot of cool people here and then there's a percentage of you who should go die in the gas chamber right now.

If this doesn't describe you, then don't be all butthurt, and just move along, nothing to see here.

Before you jumped in to pile on about something that wasnt even about you, I actually thought your previous posts in this thread were the most helpful/appropriate.

doesn't make sense: /sarcasm of me standing behind my words????

I already said you guys do not know me. would it make you feel better if I made a fantasy sounding name with post count 1 ??? How is this being a coward, or do you just like to talk random shit to people fo no apparent reason?

This is the entire point here, some of you suck the ooze from rotting crotch. You refuse to get along with people, if you get any and i mean ANY opening to fuck with someone, talk shit, and just generally be an immature prick who acts like a 13 year old, you're on it like stink on shit

I don't "know" anyone here, personally. Or really in the game. But I do play on this server, and I have made it known who my play character is on various threads. And who I played on other servers.

In a game like EQ, your name and reputation count for something. Not always alot, but something.

So, if you want to come to the message boards and rant about the people here, you should disclose your identity. That is, assuming you play here.

However, if you don't play here... what is it exactly you're doing on these message boards? Just trolling the internets looking for assholes to cast dispersions on?

Edit: Btw, the person you quoted (so I assume that's who you were calling out) is generally a pretty respectable person, as far as I've seen around here. Your calling-them-out-for-being-an-asshole post was far more offensive than anything they said, IMO.

Totally irrelevant to the point at hand.

I'm not the one in question here, it's the fucktards of p1999 that are on trial, not me.

If you cant handle the fact that the immaturity level of some of the people here is an embarassment, and that bothers you enough to retaliate against something that wasnt even directed at you, then that's your problem.

Really, no one is on trial here.

Just because you called someone out doesn't make them any more "on trial" than me calling you out makes you "on trial".

But if we are putting people on trial, I'm pretty sure the accused gets to know the identity of their accuser in most justice systems.

[Anon]

fortunately we arent actually in a court of law. the accused need no special protection or loopholes to get off with a plea bargain.

No one ever answered the initial question.

[Morfnblorsh]

The initial question of "Why do people have to be jerks?".

I felt I covered it quite succinctly. Retarded claims attract retards.

either what I'm saying is completely wrong and lacks any merit

OR

it applies to you and you're mad because someone called you out for the pathetic, immature fools you are.

There was the final battle of the monk epic in LOIO. That was a pretty fun one. Xenovorash I think?

Lol well, yeah what can I say, it was a LONG time ago and I'm nearly 44 years old (end of may). That's probably considered early senility range for some of you young whippersnappers so I think I can be forgiven for misremembering the zone. I'm surprised I remembered the "tangrin" part TBH :)

Yeah, I only remember him because I worked so hard when luclin came out to get my SK AA bard speed mount so that I could train him to Cabilis and watch him destroy the town!

He fought a good fight, but ultimately lost. Poor feller.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Perhaps I was a little harsh. I apologize if anyone was sincerely offended and not just looking for something to go off about.

My position is that we have the finest development team in all of EQEMU. They seem to have a solid plan and have put a lot of thought into their plans, including the timing of those plans. Making demands or trivializing the effort that they put into this server is offensive to ME.

[Modus]

Consecutive sentences of hilarity.

The cowardliness of people on the internet disgusts me, and no matter how valid some of your points are, I refuse to take anything you say seriously when posted under an anonymous name.

This forum would be much more civil and honest if there was a hard-coded solution to matching forum names with in-game characters.

I might be wrong, but isn't Kunark already done on other eqemu servers? Ie PEQ, VZTZ... is there really any need to 'redo' in for p99?

And no, none of what I said is a reaction to anything thats been said to me, it's your pathetic fuckin attitudes, that is all.

But 90% of the spawns, items, quests etc will be the same so can just be ported across from PEQ.

Possibly not a good idea, as anyone who remembers Prophets of Sullon Zek on The Sleeper server can attest to.

You play a fucking decade+ old mmorpg and a lot of you derive way too much self importance from it. I feel sorry for a lot of you, you know who you are.

And tried the NPCs in Misty, BB and GFay yet to no avail. Is this item non-classic or is it missing from these vendors?

Your sentence structure and verbiage gave it away. The resonance of your tone and rhythm of voice is also consistent, with ~96% certainty.

Considering there are over 300 broken quests, melee disciplines have to be re-written from the ground up to work classically, lets not forget spawn times adjusted, & we have to rebuild Nurga and Droga from the ground up since they are the revamped versions.

VP is missing probably 50 mobs, god only knows how many in OS/HS/Karnors are missing. Loot tables have to be revamped, mobs have to have grids, pathing needs to be set on all indoor area's and some outdoor, scripts for events have to be written. Scripts for death/aggro texts, AE's, etc need to be done. OH yeah, the biggy, faction.

Yeah, we have to "redo" lots. While we use what we can from the others that have put in a TON of sweat, tears, blood & soul into the emulator project; much of it either a) isn't classic b) hasn't been done or C) just flat doesn't work (Rare!).

And due to the flaming in this thread that has gone back and forth amongst MANY parties, I'm closing this thread.
