this shit happened cause people had a passion for eq and sat down and did it, if you gonna hire people for money to do this you'll be looking at spending your entire stash dawg, it's gonna be years of development if you wanna get something equal to p99, i think ur better of just asking rogean to sell you his source code + database for a considerable amount like 30 grand

make it happen top jew, redeem ur sins with the money in your jew sack
I don't want to divulge too much as this is in literally pre alpha stages. However, anyone making a server with the intention of competing with the classic aspect of p99 is fighting a losing battle. While classic eq will be the road map or vision, we will care more about the spirit of classic than necessarily dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's. Rather, we will devote our efforts to making a fun pvp box that caters to pvpers and pvers alike.

Look at LoZ. It wasn't even close to classic p99, and yet at one point it actually eclipsed r99 in popularity. As long as you provide a fair and transparent server, with a pvp box, people will come. Again I hesitate to dilvulge too much in details at this stage, but a forum will be made for people to give their ideas and feedback, for us to bounce our ideas off of etc. Thanks.
