With EQL announced, and MNM around the corner, what does it mean for P99 servers?

[Viscere]

A lot of us are incredibly pumped about EQL, MNM, but what does this imply for p99 ?

It's been a long time since we have had visibility on the future of the project, many people have left red and blue, whilst a lot of folks have migrated to Green or Quarm.

From a CCU perspective, Red is almost inactive, blue is seriously dwindling with players struggling to experience group content under lvl 50, and only green still thrives with a vibrant raid scene and a lot of opportunities for leveling.

So, what comes next for p99 servers as a whole?

Merge, Character Transfers, something else?

Some visibility / clarity on the future of p99 would be highly appreciated as players ready themselves for other classic experiences around the corner.

The p99 staff is rightly rewarded by DB for all these years of hard work but does that mean they will abandon the initial work that brought them there?

Cheers

You ever get tired of your speculative what will they do with the server posts as if your shit posts on P99 RNF have any impact on decisions whatsoever? Haven't for awhile though. How's that new P99 Gold server?

Thank you for your question, original poster. I can tell by your broken English you seem to be having difficulty accepting the death of your once precious childhood game which you still strangely seem to play well into adulthood. Death is compulsory in life for all things, even children's games. It is a part of nature. I hope you find this helpful. Stay safe my friend.

Yeah. You think you're psyched for it. It sounds like a pure win. But it's a money deal.

[Update: The subscription will indeed be separate from the EQ1/EQ2 subscription.]

Everything is soloable, and the mechanics will be adjusted accordingly. Other than Uber You, not sure what the gameplay here is.

Not many people hang out permanently at the museum.
Why would this museum be any different?

[Duik]

Original EQ devs didnt envisage players poopsocking the same spawn endlessly. Rhey thougjt we would just move on through the content, like a dungeon in DnD.

RogBog prolly didnt envisage the same group repeatedly killing the same unchanging mob list endlessly, decrypting the better meta each time until it resembles not original EQ as much as the manifest symptoms of mild/intermediate mental health issues.

[OriginalContentGuy]

I think at the very best and most generous analysis the experienced and successful(ish) players on a competitive emulated raid server from 2000 know firsthand the wilderness of solitude. The level of competition for pixels here is or was such that it shaped oral history. One does not poop into a sock without a mandatory minimum of solitude: yes or no?

The huge influx in population within the last 6-9 months on Green (upon which I can't say I have any experience or knowledge leveling or anything) I think could well be seen as a recession indicator IRL. Gainfully employed people, even if they can't make friends outside of work, probably are less likely to raid pixels for hours in their off hours. And isolated people find solace and relief or at least a sense of it through various means.

I've made relationships through this game with real people who played this game. I've grown friend to and with people I have met IRL from what ultimately is this nerdy nerd server for nerds after some form or fashion. But even when I fought as part of a virtual raid guild I maintained and participated freely IRL in life's social circles and have been humbled and gratified with the objective, even written, feedback as positive and consistent.

I had no problems dropping raids and discord when I became fruitfully busy in concert with my flesh and blood friends and taking them into consideration above pixels because I had relationships and "game" to create and find them apart from work and family IRL.

Are people really being rustled over a press release and a YouTube video?

Good friends, companions, and associates are the whole of the spiritual life said someone. It's hard to have any life at all when you're suffering; if you can't find friends nor have game IRL then they are just as much a whole of one's physical life and mental health or lack thereof. Some things pixels cannot buy and if certain players put as much diligence into getting good at real social game as much as another elf simulation then I feel like they may find raiding unappealing and be mentally healthier for it. I'm not certain more EverQuest is really what anybody really needs including the sweatlords.

[vales]

It doesn't mean much. EQ legends will likely take on more and more of secrets' bad ideas over time, and also be fast to "beat", destroying retention. Monsters and memories is just a worse version of EQOA. They also both want a subscription fee lol

[Wakanda]

As someone who really likes MnM and who also really likes P99, I don't think MnM is going to affect P99's population at all. I honestly think most of the people I've met on P99 don't even have real gaming PCs that are capable of running modern games, nor would they ever pay money to play a game etc. MnM is also still somewhat of a mystery for me.... even as someone who enjoys it immensely. It's hard to tell how fun an MMO is long-term. There's been many MMOs I really enjoyed for a couple of months and then never played again. It'll be interesting to see what MnM feels like a year into launch.

[Dundrige]

I feel like we need to open up a p99 marketing team to stay competitive. TV commercials, hand out flyers in times square, social media campaign, etc.

Also I made a post about a p99 convention in Las Vegas sometime awhile ago and it was the #1 post for a month running, so theres definite interest there.

If the elite dev team interested, I would be willing to lead it. DM me.

As corny as this commercial was, I'm reminded that once upon a time in the early 2000's, SoE did indeed want the younger late teens - twenties demographics as its primary userbase before they just gave up and settled with fat middle aged women doing dwarf cosplay at conventions for promos as the years went on.

RecondoJoe, if you're getting banned multiple times on multiple different platforms (at least twice on P99 that we all know of, at least once on MnM, etc.) then maybe you need to look in the mirror and ask whether the problem is you and not the staff/platform that are banning you.....

This does have some merit.

There was mod on the official EQ reddit who had no connection to Daybreak but was banning people left and right for things he did himself (being abusive etc). Off his own back HE decided there wasn't to be any more talk of P99/Quarm/etc on the official EQ reddit and referred everyone to a dead subreddit to discuss things there.

It probably has a lot to do with his work on EQ Legends, and it probably scratches his classic EQ itch enough to leave the development work to Nilbog -- but just by updating stuff to be classic, and not in preparation for a new server.. but again to scratch Nilbog's itch for recreating classic.

Whats better for gaming. IP law, or ideas.

Also:

you have a strong obsession with THJ and its founders and for some reason constantly post about it on here instead of THJ related forums/social pages

[cd288]

Whats better for gaming. IP law, or ideas.

Also:

Well, the reason for IP law is to ensure your ideas are protected. The idea behind IP law is that without it there would be a chilling effect on innovation. I.e., if your ideas can't be protected then why would you bother coming up with any ideas? So the answer to your question is that IP law is better for gaming, because it begets ideas and innovation. Without IP law, you would've never had EverQuest in the first place, and I think we can all agree we wouldn't like that outcome!

And Daybreak is actually an extremely reasonable IP holder. They allow private emulated servers like P99 to exist as long as you don't make many changes to the IP and as long as you don't monetize it beyond dollar-for-dollar what your expenses are for server upkeep/maintenance. Do you know how many companies would never allow that? I mean, look at Blizzard and private WoW servers...they try to shut those down.

As for your other quote, I'm not sure saying "hey you make 1 comment about THJ for every 100 I make" is the gotcha you think it is lol :p

[Rang]

I want to see rogean and secrets succeed. Longterm the better EQL does the better P99 will be off.

Agree. If it does well enough, they might be given other opportunities with the EQ IP, which would be great.

[Reiwa]

IP is protected when the idea is sold to a bank and later on someone iterates on the idea and the bank steals that idea.

This is innovation.

THJ was such a loss.
The people cried. Other, more intelligent people laughed.
Its a wacky mixed up world in which we live.

After EQL is full launch, the only people left on p99 will be the pixel addicted sunk cost neckbeards that aren't even competing for raid loot anymore.

that's what it is now though. i heard theres only one guild on Blue getting targets.

[Headbusta]

Does anybody else remember when Project Quarm first launched and Secrets gave a fungi tunic to Zaide because he "reported" bots?

[Ciderpress]

legit question: how does dbg explain EQL becoming more popular than any of the other servers? Why not just make a new game?

It was expensive to build everquest in 1996-7, but not in 2026. Just make a new ip, with similar technology but original assets, call it "retro" and have the multi-class game mechanics. Why does it have to be everquest?

Daybreak is literally just gonna collect sub $$.

They can't lose here.

THJ dimwits did the legwork, discovered that multiclass was a money maker using old IP. Stuck their heads up right into the lions mouth.
Lazy corporations love others doing the risky stuff. So, in a way THJ basically gave them the tested idea on a plate.

Yay for THJ. They love corporatuons more than we do.

The idea does sound good but i wont play cuz im too busy shitposting here.

[Tann]

will EQL launch with a cash shop like the one THJ had? or will they slowly start inserting features that can me made better with just one easy "donation"?

other features they could include are those "world buffs" that got extended with THJbux, or the dungeon/instance waypoints you could unlock.. the whale possibilities are endless!

Multiclass was already being worked on before THJ was even a thought and it was likely being worked on specifically for what we now know as EQL. THJ devs were nothing but grifters that took other people's thoughts and property for their own personal gain. Effectively they are just squatters.

Yep, expect their new 'game' to be a huge grift. They won't have code from secrets and ailia as a base.

Shhh ShovelQuest might hear you and this might send him into a rage.

Agreed, though. Anyone who doesn't see this is a dim person with very low perception ability.

The IP holders may have had an 'idea' for multi-classing, which is not an original idea. But what's interesting is they actually hired Secrets and Rogean before THJ ever launched. Not likely, I made that up. But that would be the kind of non-existent evidence to convince people that EQL isn't exactly what it looks like.

what could you buy in the cash shop?

Can you prove this no i didnt think so.

We've been known as the worst community of all eq communities for over a decade.

Perceiving that EQL is exactly what it looks like is not a defense of the business model that inspired it.

That could explain why they were so quick to come down on THJ. May already have been working on this.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

There's still a fair amount of neo-Nazi everquest communities, especially in South Africa, I know that doesn't bother you, but it bothers me. Go ahead, laugh it off.

[BradZax]

Ok, we're the worst eq community that everyone knows about.

[Tann]

what could you buy in the cash shop?

THJ's or we speculating what EQL will have?

THJ had stuff like:

exclusive illusion wands for pets
30 something slot bags that were lore but thankfully you could get different colors to get around the lore thing (maximize profits)
portable crafting stations
AA respecs
gender swaps
class swaps
etc..


these weren't all in a traditional cash shop UI but spread across a few different vendors in the bazaar.

[BradZax]

ok ill admit the bags were valuble. but everything else was cosmetic.

[BradZax]

speculating what EQL will have?

Armor ornaments (appearance gear)
Dyes and appearance customization items
Name change tokens

Server transfer tokens
Character slots
Heroic Characters (level-boosted characters, e.g. lvl 85/100+)
Skill reset items / AA-related respecs (when available)

Mercenary name change contracts
Persona slots (for alternate class system)
Tradeskill materials or crates (occasionally)
Key/ring containers and special inventory items
Overseer system packs (agents, quests, collectibles)

Pets (cosmetic or minor utility)
Fireworks and novelty items

I looked it up and the grippy sock adventure doesn't actually correlate.

Back to the drawing board.

When the shitposter lives their life as if cock in mouth is a 0 sum game. Just constantly removing one and inserting another. May your bag of dicks fulfill your weekly consumption.

There's only one person I've seen say they hate P99 for working with Daybreak

Agreed. But they did prove the concept had monetary value to a player base. That is all i was getting at.

Public Announcement.
