Is this for real!?!? I am so excited!!

[zschwarzmiller]

Holy hell... I've just stumbled upon this watching and reliving my EQ days on youtube....

I played Classic/Kunark - Planes of Power... I had a badass Monk and necromancer on brell serials....

My friend and I are thinking of starting up playing again.... Anything I should be aware of? Do I really have to redo the epic quest again?? That took me like 40 days. HAHA!

[zschwarzmiller]

by the way,... is this playable via a Mac? I do have VMware Fusion running windows as well, but it's always easier to just run things within the Mac.

On setup:

2) Getting Started - Play Guide

In order to play on Project 1999 you must obtain a copy of Everquest: Titanium Edition. Only a clean Titanium install will work. See our FAQ for more information.

Hi Zscwarmiller,

Welcome. The server is real and currently in Kunark. I'm not sure about playing on a Mac. You should remove that link in your third post, it's against policy.

[zschwarzmiller]

Sorry & Thank You!

[zschwarzmiller]

I am thinking the answer to play on a mac would be know since its the original EQ 1999 version and didn't support mac back then... I will have to run it on windows on the mac :D

[falkun]

Project 1999 plans on running only Classic, Kunark, and Velious. If you'd like to play Classic through Planes of Power, EQmac (specifically designed to run on mac!) is now free-to-play. Its an SOE managed server, its free, and it goes up through Planes of Power.

However, if you'd like to stick with C/K/V, then the guide posted on our forums should help get you set up:

Good luck, and welcome back to our world now! (tm)

[zschwarzmiller]

Fantastic! Thank you... I don't prefer POP... That's when I quit last time because I did not like it... I will stick with this :)

[zschwarzmiller]

The reason I need to download EQ Titanium is because macbook air doesn't come with a CD drive!! :X

[falkun]

Most people do not have CDs of EQ titanium. The common method does involve a software emulated CD drive however, so you may need that for the initial install.

[falkun]

My suggestion is to not ask that question on these forums, but at your local neighborhood search engine. You might also want to look in-to rent-ing the downloads.

[zschwarzmiller]

Understood/Deleted: Thank You, Sir.

[zschwarzmiller]

I can't find anywhere that just let's me pay a fee and download it; i will try and find it on craigslist/ebay - I don't actually need a CD Key, just the content within the disks rite?

don't need a cd-key. Hell you can copy someone's installed P99 eq folder and put it on a usb and play off the usb.

Edited out information that could be abused.

[fadetree]

I've found that simply zipping up the installed directory from a working setup works fine in lieu of the actual disks. I zipped mine up and gave to a friend, he unzipped it onto his computer in the same spot, made a shortcut as described, and was all set.

[falkun]

I do not know how much more blunt I can realistically be. I can only be so direct and still adhere to forum rules.

[zschwarzmiller]

okay good info - thank you. i still have my old EQ account login somewhere around... don't think its needed for this, however.

Does the Everquest: Titanium Edition include everything classic + 10 expansions? Why would we need the 10 expansions if were only using classic/kunark/V?

[falkun]

Each client is different, and each server must interact with compatible clients. The most common EQemu server interface client is EQ Titanium. So you will utilize the client-server communications from EQ titanium, but you will not utilize the later expansion data contained on an EQT install.

You will not need your EQLive account information for this at all.

[zschwarzmiller]

Okay - I get it all now. Thank you very much!

I think people should start making more videos of like EC tunnel an VP Dragon kills on youtube post them for more P99 advertisement, because that is exactly how i found the server p99, i was wanting to see some old EQ so I went to youtube an seen a video with EC tunnel full of people saling stuff an was like damn i gotta get in this, luckily i had a old EQ titanium cd set an loaded right in, but if anyone has the ability to post youtube videos do it, there are hardly any of oldschool everquest its mostly all newer content etc.
Doing this should bring in alot more players, i know personally and know of others who still to this day watch the BoTB best of the best tournys on youtube AND THEY ARE ALL SHIT QUALITY, so i hope to god they let someone ( like Daliant vids) in to the arena to record these upcoming BoTB an get them posted on youtube ASAP. It would help this server greatly imo.

** would like to add if you make these videos please have all Luclin graphics turned off an actually give the nostalgia of everquest an people will flock in.

Whom do I contact regarding playing 2-3 computers on the same IP address? I am not looking to dual-box I live with 2 others and we have all decided to start playing original EQ again.

Post a petition and expect a wait of a month or more. sometimes 3-4.

[zschwarzmiller]

oh yikes... it will be impossible for us to both play at the same time before then ?

Can anyone help me with this:

I am attempting to:

Step 4 - EQHost File
In order for your client to connect to the EQEmulator Login Server (and not SOE's EQLive Login Server), you will need to change your eqhost.txt file to point at the correct location. Go into your EverQuest directory and locate the eqhost.txt file. Replace the contents of the file with the following (Remove any trailing spaces):

Titanium or Secrets of Faydwer:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

-- To do this I found the folder... Deleted EVERYTHING in the EQHost.txt folder... And replaced it with "[LoginServer] Host=eqemulator.net:5998" and when I attempt to save it tells me access is denied... Any idea's what I am doing wrong?

Move the Everquest folder out of Program Files and keep it in your C:\ Drive (Like C:\EQTitanium) and make sure you're on an admin account. Also I'm assuming you meant document/file, not folder? eqhost is a text file, not a folder lol

Np, sir. Always happy to help. Don't be afraid to ask if you need anything else.

[zschwarzmiller]

Hmm I think something may be wrong... When I log into the game there are no servers at all - I found on a forum

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=EQEmuFAQ#QLinkLS

"I can log into the Server Select screen, but when I get there, no servers are showing up. It is just a blank list."

And I don't think this is the case... If I type in the incorrect password it still logs me in to server select screen - it shouldn't do that?

[zschwarzmiller]

One thing I had done... I went into properties and changed the file and all of its subfolders of everquest when it was in the program files to NOT "read only".... would this mess things up at all?

[zschwarzmiller]

Just realized I didn't have the EQEMU launcher... So I downloaded it; now the issue is: "You do not have enough permissions to the specified Everquest-Directory. Aborting Patch"

[phobus]

by the way,... is this playable via a Mac? I do have VMware Fusion running windows as well, but it's always easier to just run things within the Mac.

It is, and you have a few different options. You can run it under a Windows VM (although I had some weird mouse sensitivity issues under VMWare Fusion; Parallels worked much better). I did this for a while, but I'm using WINE now and the performance is slightly better. You also don't have to wait for Windows to boot or deal with any of that. I wrote a post here (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=544877&postcount=37) detailing how you can get it working for P99 from the Titanium install discs.

[zschwarzmiller]

I've seen that Phobus, i appreciate the post. I am going to attempt it here soon - I just got done installing it on my brothers windows machine, I am trying to get it running on windows before I tackle it on my mac!!

Will I be able to run Wine and Windows VM on my computer? I need to keep VM for work... But would like wine for EQ... I don't know if they would conflict with each other?
