Project 1999+ The New Era

[Wilrin]

As we know the times go by, everything changes and keeps updating.
Its been a while when Project 1999 Classic Server first launched.
The EverQuest world was developed and launched first in 1999 it was 13 years ago and i have to say it was one of the best time in my MMORPG gaming.
The whole community was very talkative and were true role-players. When i was logged in it was a very nice sentiment. I found a group of players which have helped me a lot in game. I was talking with them whole night.
It would be great if the newer server would support more RP.

Because SOE have realised new expansions and no longer sells Titanium client.So most people have clients newer than Titanium so they can't play on Project 1999.
I have a proposal of creating a newer Project 1999+ server!!!

Changes between Proejct 1999 and newer Project 1999+ server would be:
-Titanium/SoF/SoD/UF client compatibility
-Newer expasions support (currently its possible to update server up to GoD)
-Level cap increased to 65.
-Updated guild management system
-More AA.
-New Zones and Instanced Zones.
-New Quests.
-New Npc.
-New Spells.

After time more new features will be added.
What do we need to create new server:
-It will need group of Developers and GMs which will keep this server up to date!
-Server hardware or hosting.
-Databases for new Items,zones,npc and maps which takes much time to create, but theres already open source database.
-Players.

Open source database of EQemu:

Anyone can play on Project1999. I've seen countless posts here for people looking for a copy of Titanium. It just requires a small amount of searching. Also, roleplaying sucks in my opinion.

[triad]

we play classic cuz we like classic and if u cant find titanium your an idiot

[Flunklesnarkin]

Just play :o

[SCB]

your an idiot

This fills me with joy every time I read it.

being able to share triumph is more important than a pile of gold (or platinum for eq) if only the poopsockers and loot whores would get this

It is extremely easy to almost never interact with people like this and still have an awesome time on this server.

i agree and i do but it makes 46+ (after enjoying leveling not mind numbing grind ) an irritating experence as a casual raider

Agreed, but eventually they'll either all burn out or Velious will drop and then all content except Kael/ToV/Sleeper's/Growth will be open to other people.

In the mean time, I'd just like to see more than a dozen people levels 40-50 on a time. There are a ton of great grouping areas just barren right now.

i bet all the pp i own theres ganna be 2 guild fight over sleeper andd after they farm it they wake the sleeper just to be greedy asses

Again, this will only really affect the people in competition for the items. There won't be anything left to kill with those items, as Sleeper's really will be the end of the server. Thus, the items will just be e-peening for people who think it matters to e-peen on an emulator server. On the plus side, they can tell people they won at EQ, and that's something no one else has ever been able to do.

The rest of the content remains unchanged. Your experience really shouldn't be too affected by it. That's the beauty of this server, for me.

its not the items sleeper has been something i wanted to see sense back then it just takes away the ability to experence the content

That's a fair enough reason to be concerned. My positive spin would be that, since it is essentially the end of the game, it is very possible that it will be changed to not despawn the event permanently.

Either way it's a year+ out, so plenty of fun to be had in the meantime.

This has to be a troll

[falkun]

I'm hoping spawning the sleeper does not remove primals from the game, I really want a primal spear on my Bard! That and epic are probably my two biggest goals for this server.

As for ST being the "end of Everquest", I would think the PoM quests would be end-game. From what I've seen on PoM, the quests in that zone are long, random time-sinks for the items you obtain.

wat part?
and i just wanna hit ST and see sleeper there idk maybe just the epicness of it cuz i was 8-9 when it happend on live or what but thats on my "bucket list"

[Szeth]

Gonna get that rod that procs anarchy. Then RMT that bitch so fast itll make your head spin

[Autotune]

I plan to wake the sleeper before any guild can get anything.

[Szeth]

Stealin we can team up... farm all the droppables, RMT, and spend it all on a bender of drugs and alcohol (ending in inevitable overdose).

It's Romeo and Juliet for us and p99. We ride together we die together.

[Nagash]

Fail troll is weak.

damn you autotune

Some of the ideas you expressed in your OP do not fit into the classic venue. By new server, you then mean one that would go beyond Velios. My vote for now, is ABSOLUTELY NOT. It would take precious dev and support resources away from our current server, which is a work in progress. It woud also split the population, leaving it too thin.

Eventually, after Velious and any post Velious non-Luclin updates are released, there will come a time when serious discussion of new server, along the lines that you suggested, may well make sense. But that is probably 2 years out from now.

i'm down.

[cmdrrickhunter]

I'm not sure on the whole idea, but I do have trouble with the message. Here's what I translated:

"I think we should start a new server with all the features I want! All we need is a host for the server, developers to build it, GMs, to admin it, and players to bother playing on it."

It strikes me that you might want to acquire a few people with the correct skillset BEFORE boldly posting on Project1999 that you intend to poach its players and development tallent.

[Yanomamo]

whats RMT

[Zallar]

Hey guys, I've got this amazing idea for a brand new widget!

All we need are:

1) Engineers, Management, and Staff
2) Customers
3) Money
4) Equipment

Who's with me!

Wait...I'll make a poll!

I fucking loved LOVED Luclin and PoP. But I am happy staying at Velious.

[sbvera13]

I wouldn't mind seeing the server have some basic gameplay and usability changes once it hits velious- tweaks to class balance, etc, but no major changes and certainly no Luclin. I quit after Cat People last time and that was for a reason. A wee bit of modernization would not go amiss in the long run though. Although I can't think of any specific examples yet to be fair, only lvl10 so far after 12 years away :)
