Host Private Project 1999 Server

[pheroux]

Hi,

I want to play on a classic server pre-kunark era. Maybe with plane of hate and plane of fear. That's it. Preferably one that doesn't progress.

I learned abour project 1999 recently and I started on red server because I wanted that classic experience and the blue server was alrady in the kunark era.

However, I changed my mind after I got ganked one too many times with my newbie gear on.

Is project 1999 db avaible for download somewhere? I want to host a private "classic" server for my friends and I to play.

Thank you,

Phil

hi. our project is closed source. so the only place you can get this experience is here.

[eqravenprince]

But it would be so empty =). Although I suppose it would be kind of fun to have every zone to yourself. And it is kind of fun to earn every piece of gear you have.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Could you please create another blue server? One that is still in the pre-kunark era. Even better, one that does not progress and stays classic?

Thank you,

Phil,

We will get right on that. Cloning the server is easy enough, and with how short-staffed we are now, having JUST added some new guides, we would be more than happy to oblige.

Please email me a list of exactly how you would like us to proceed at Getoveryourself@isthisguyserious.com

Make it so Jeeves and while you are it, bring me a cup of coffee and some bon bons. Ta Ta.

Actually, cloning a server is easy. I host a private server myself.

As for support. Just put up a disclaimer no support will be provided for this server, no?

What hardware would they host this server on? You're asking for something for nothing; despite that being what p99 is you want more.

I would be happy to provide the hardware, however, I was told p99 is closed source. Can p99 be closed source if EQEmu is open source, doesn't that violate open source? Anything made out of open source is usually open source as well in the development business. Depends on the license I suppose.

I personally want to see the population on p99 blue increase, not get divided in half between a classic server and a velious server.

You can still experience all the classic content on this server. Can't you?

[Szeth]

Rogean is the honcho behind eqemu. So if eqemu is open source and this is closed... you'd have to take it up with him.

Oh, he isn't likely to rule against himself? Too bad.

Depends on the license and the people involved.

I'm a developer over at EQEmulator and I can safely say that they're allowed to use our code for whatever purpose they want.

What isn't allowed however is people like you coming into our community and demanding that people make a server. Regardless of hardware or provisions needed, this project has goals and a random person's goals who wants to use their arrogance to achieve their own is not one of them.

You are welcome to use our code on your own EQEmulator server, though, and tweak it to be classic. That's completely fine, though, don't expect our support for making a fuss like this in one of our communities.

Why all the heat? hehe. I'm just asking questions.

I didn't think the whole open source argument would stand a candle anyway, especially since the existence of shady? Unless they got the OK from sony to do this.

The heat is here because you are 'demanding' something, not saying 'wouldn't it be a good idea if'

The legality of this project is listed on the library subforum.

I didn't mean it to sound like a demand. I apologize if it came across that way. I thought I had a good idea.

It's a great idea, but not one the staff will consider judging by the first staff post. Sorry!

You can always change your database in HeidiSQL or Navicat or whatever you use to make it classic such as like changing expansions and weapon models,ive done it. But it may take time. Don't think they will ever release another server though.

That's a good idea. I was hoping to save myself some time by downloading p99 db but it is closed source.

True, but I would prefer a server that doesn't progress so you can "beat" the game. If you max out with one character you can just create another. My whole purpose in creating a private server was to stop chasing the hamster wheel. It would be nice for once if the end game was a fixed target you could aim for.

My 2 cents.

I apologize for being a bit snarky with you if you truly didn't mean for it to sound like a demand. But statements like the one below sound like a demand to me.

"Could you please create another blue server? One that is still in the pre-kunark era. Even better, one that does not progress and stays classic?"

On a side note, I love classic EQ, Kunark did very little for me. So a classic only server that stayed classic would be pretty cool.

I plan on joining Poject1999 when i get my copy of titanium again. I placed a bid on ebay for a $20 copy. If not i'm sure my friend has an old copy laying around. I do miss the classic game, I had so much fun. When Kunark was released I believe I was in 8th grade....goodgod!

I just hope there is enough people low lvl to make some groups!
See you soon DVinn.

Maybe your friend has an extra for you to rent?

Yaaar.... Why on Earth do people insist on tracking down a physical copy Titanium. When Yaaaar.... Thaaaar be many other ways to get Titanium. If you have an eye patch and a peg leg its even easier. There is a variable TORRENT of options out there.

On an unrelated note, tomorrow I've got to GO TO the dentist. I'm planning on dressing up as a PIRATE to keep the evil spirits at BAY.

This isn't September!

Seriously though a physical copy of Titanium is not necessary. Get a little creative and it'll take about a day to secure a copy that will work.

[Rubexcube666]

That made my day... literally
