Can we just agree
 

Nothing relevant about the server is classic.

Classic didn't have rotations. It didn't have boosted MR and specific (nerfs) rules for the fungi King camp.

I like the server and the people enabling it, but to state this server is anything near classic, while moving away from the spirit of classic (how about rogues stealing beads?) is a joke.

P1999 is a custom server and nothing else.

you should make a game that feels classic it would be a big hit

use vulkan api

thanks for the suggestion

i am gainfully employed, so I'll pass

The rules are different but the content is very close to the same.

I'm not making the fat cash that the p1999 server is raking in, I'm just noticing how things aren't classic, and moving away from the concept of "classic EQ".

Looking forward to the ENCH CHA nerf, which will help a lot of people understand how the server is being lead.

Feels based posts, from people that have zero clue about old school EQ are the prime directive.

What's really not classic is quakes.

Remove quakes!

The original devs would have made most of the same, or similar, changes if time had permitted. Were newbies intended to be running around with their epics equipped? Not according to McQuaid. It isn't epic if the twink just destroyed their *sword to make room for the MQ. The list goes on.

This is as classic as it gets and that is due the playerbase. Disagree? Email what devs are still alive and get their thoughts on the matter. But there are still a lot of changes that could be made based on dev intentions which weren't implemented due to tech limitations at the time.

i want to add that back in like 2001 we had a stress test on test server with like 130 people in qeynos hills and the zones would crash and lag horribly

we actually have better server these days lol

I wonder how much more 'custom' adjustments will be made.

Slowing a shroom at seb camp is pretty trivial at 60 on live, but on p1999 it requires tash / malo.

Perhaps some kind of code can be made so players that solo get death touched instantly?

Anyway, I still like the custom EQ server, lets just not pretend it is anywhere near classic.
