Blue custom content?

[wuanahto]

Raids for city leaders and adding city leaders? and probably give them some worthwhile loot? make the evil city leaders have slightly better or more numerous loot to balance out the fact most people are dark elves and iksars and double down on that and maybe have two city leaders in freeport/qeynos/akanon/wherever else that has a split moral preference

Adding additional crushbone tier zones and condensing camps?
A dervish fortress zone in nro?
an orcish citadel adjacent to the oasis?
condensed camps in karanas and south ro?
making najena bigger and expanding on the goblins or ogres on ground level?
expand the hhk goblin pit because it was probably HHK trying to expand but hit a pocket of goblins that lead into runnyeye?
additional rooms and such in permafrost so there can be a healthy enough number for a 20-30 group?

[wuanahto]

Holy crap and OOT, lake rathe or erud crossing getting their kraken/megalodon raid targets. guilds scrambling trying to figure out where the boat was last to gather in either nro or butcherblock, friendships or co-workerdom torn apart by missing or making a boat

[evilwizard]

might want to pick up dnd or some other fantasy pen & paper game where you can enjoy custom content.

it will never happen here

(nice idea tho)

The entire server is custom content with the infinity amount of non-classic changes. Hope this helps.

I just want the pre-nerf gem drops on seafury island back.

[liveitup1216]

Shards of Dalaya does all this and supremely well.

That's not necessarily true. Certainly, back when the project first started (in 2010) Rogean wrote:

Permanent custom content most likely we will not ever implement.

But since then, in various posts in 2014, 2015, etc. Nilbog very much kept the possibility open ... after classic P99 development was complete. For instance:

Custom zone creation, implementation and testing will take a while. We are currently working on finishing the later parts of Velious.

Honestly, I'm amazed the two have kept at this project for this long: I would have expected them to grow bored with it years ago (and to some extent Rogean has, just judging by his post history).

So, while I (and probably everyone else) would love to see what custom "classically-themed" content they can produce, it'd entirely dependent on them still having gas in the tank when/if they "finish" P99 proper.

yeah TAKP (p2002) is more classic by a wide margain than any eq emulator in existence.

the software TAKP uses was taken straight from verant, while every other emulator is guesswork as to how things were.

How does that work? I thought not even Verant/SOE/Daybreak had the original code from Verant?

[Solist]

Blue has been custom content since day 1. Green has been custom content since day 1.

You're very wrong.

I've been playing here since 2009. You know Zexa's 'server first manastone'? Yeah, I looted that on my mage named Magic. Freeze (Penoy) looted about 10 of them before I did. This entire shard is based on people using showeq/macroquest and GMs killing everyone's fun after it was beta tested for about 2 years, and then they took everything away from us. Except for a few people that duped endless amounts of plat and got to keep it for some reason. **cough Jeremy cough**

It's a modded classic server, with no custom content that makes things enjoyable. The only time things are 'customized' is to destroy methods of fast exp/platinum/pixel gain. Think of it as refined masochism..

[loramin]

Sorry, I realize now that sentence was misleading.

What I meant was "back in the early days of the project, Rogean made a post (and that post was in 2010)". I wasn't trying to suggest the project started in 2010 ... but again, I worded it poorly.

[Trexller]

How does that work? I thought not even Verant/SOE/Daybreak had the original code from Verant?

ive heard from multiple sources of a rumor that someone within verant was unhappy that the MAC server got ignored, no support, barely any patches.

all EQMAC live ever got was kunark, velious, luclin and PoP and major patches. anything broken was left broken, quests incomplete that were complete on live.

so as i was told this person copied all the EQMAC data and took it home one day, then it eventually found its way to the folks who made TAKP

its just a rumor of course, but ive spent alot of time playing both P99 and TAKP. and takp has that feel that i remember from live circa ~2001.

P99 while fun in its own right, does feel artificial. especially when you stare at that melee damage window and have autistic pattern recognition powers.

[toast187]

what i want to see is bristlebane and his drops added. Still classic in spirit and doesnt go too far.

Amen: Bristlebane would make a great raid encounter (and so would some new/quirky PoM mobs, if the devs felt like adding them).

[foxchris509]

All I want is rotating ZEMs and for them to wake the sleeper once a year. Anything else would be a bonus.

[Solist]

Delete 50% of the 60's every year.

At random. I could lose none, or ten. Whatever.

[Ennewi]

Technically the Marr twins were in classic, for GM events but still.

[Xulia]

Give Knights a defensive disc. Please. And thank you.

[Ripqozko]

How about we finish normal content, still no food duration

Tiny hybrids is all I want. It’s close enough to the velious timeline and wouldn’t affect but altquest.

I just want my gnome knights and halfling paladins/rangers.
