New to Project 1999. Love it
 

I played the original version back when I was 12. I still remember the Kunark expansion, heh. Anyway, I'm playing casually. I don't have more time than a couple of hours a week due to being a senior in college. Love the people, love the game, love that it's free. A player already randomly gave me a full set of banded armor and 50 plat.

Anyway, rant aside I had some questions about the expected longevity of this server. Everquest went free for a reason... just not as many people playing anymore. What are the best ways to support this server? Monetarily is on the table, I would be willing to pitch in a few bucks when I have it. Any other ways to make sure the server continues to thrive?

Also curious, why the two-boxing ban? I don't have the computer power to pull it off, but my dad was an old two boxer in his day. Was thinking about wrangling him back into the game, but I would like to inform him of the ban before he does something stupid. ;)

Tell your friends!

Back on topic.

The server has been going for 3-4 years now without any indication of shutting down, so it seems to be going strong. The devs seem to have at least a minor interest in continuing to add content (they do have full time jobs, so it sometimes takes awhile.) Since it's free, it doesn't feel right to complain. I think the main Project1999 page has a donate button where you can send money through PayPal if that's your thing.

In my opinion, EQ Live is free to play because they seen they can milk people even more like other corporations for their game they turned into a pile of garbage not due to population. Their EQMac is going strong still and it never changes. :)

Yeah I play it a lot. And I use a PC. Works good.

me too!

If you and your dad want to play together, you can put in for an IP exemption in the petition forum... just dont let your dad get caught logging you in to buff himself :D

Haha, won't need that. I don't live with my dad anymore. I just wanted to be able to explain to him why he can't start a two-boxing team on his several computers.

By searching the forums, what I have picked up is by banning two-boxing, we are trying to ensure players are inclusive. Am I correct?
