Doing something wrong...
 

So I haven't this game in about 18 years. Sounds like fun, but I'm clearly doing something wrong. I installed Everquest Titanium, I made a forum account, I made a game account, I log in, I really want to play on a red server. I make my gnome shadow knight, name him, and boom, black screen of "You have been disconnected.." but it happens over and over. I tried the same on the blue server, same issue. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I'd love to try this game out again soon! Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Gnome SK isn't available on p99 I don't think, same thing with halfling ranger and some other race/class combos that came out after velious.

Yes. No gnome Sks, no gnome Pally, no halfling pally, no halfling rangers, etc.

Unlike the other restricted races for some reason select lets you think you can make a gnome Sk. Sadly you cannot.

Well that breaks my heart. I'll try again later then, hopefully not another 18 years into the future. Thank you!

Yup. Just relics from Titanium client. You’ll see some other invalid menu options as well, but it isn’t a big deal and you’ll soon just ignore them. The pros far outweigh the cons and welcome to P99!

I don't think p99 will allow Gnome SKs in 18 years either.

Just FYI there will (almost certainly) be no "later". This is because Project 1999's stated goal is to only go as far as Brad McQuaid/Aradune went, ie. up to but not including Luclin. Gnome Shadow Knights were added after Luclin's release, which means that they have no place on P99 (they only appear because P99 uses the Titanium client, which was created after Gnome SKs were added).

The only reason I said "almost certainly" is because once Green is released Blue might get custom-developed content. This content, if it's added at all, would have to be "classically-themed", and some might consider Gnome Shadow Knights (and Halfling Rangers) to be "classically-themed" if not "classic."

But unless Green is released, the devs decide to go with custom content, AND the devs decide to add those race/class combinations (which I couldn't see happening any earlier than 2020) it's not going to happen.

Luckily, P99 is still pretty awesome even if you can only make a Gnome Necromancer or a Dark Elf Shadow Knight :D
