You told me I could take it or leave it but I choose to express my opinion on the forum - I also choose to wait until this glaring mistake is rectified, because it inevitably will be if I am to have any faith in human decency, and then all the happy little fairies will dance for joy in nostalgia land rather than just a select few.

OK so this is Project 1999 and we only do 1999 stuff - SO WHAT THE **** is Kunark doing there?

I told you to take it or leave it because your reasons for not playing are based on things that are impossible to fix without editing the .exe and distributing it (which would be against Sony's EULA) or are incorrect/based off of anecdotal evidence in which no bug report is provided in the proper location here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6

Furthermore: make sure you understand the scope of this server. From the main page:

Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, starting with the original 3 continents and a max level of 50, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be.

That line is a bit confusing. It should probably be changed around to mention that the expansion cap is Velious, as the "1999 and onward" line would indicate that we would otherwise be indefinitely moving through each expansion. Kunark is out because we're in that portion of the timeline labeled as "onward". In fact, we're around August 2000 if I'm not mistaken. There's no clear line drawn on this but some of the latest patches are reaching towards end of the year stuff.

Now I will take a moment to say that what the devs have done here is quite incredible. But you have to see that the server could be improved and needs to be improved - it is just sheer hell for anyone who wasn't "l33t" back in the day.

Everquest wasn't a casual game. Project1999 isn't trying to make it a casual game. Judging by your complaint I suspect you don't get a lot of playtime. That's understandable, but you get out what you put in. I started over a year and a half ago and I'm still not level 60. I picked a Ranger as my main when I started here because that's what I wanted to play. I wanted to play Project1999 because I LOVED EQ back in the day. This is a pretty damn good recreation of it and what the devs done is indeed incredible.

To want it changed, though, you will draw ire from every individual who wants to relive that same experience.... the dirty grimy rage-inducing, eye-bleeding, keyboard-slamming Everquest we all knew and loved. I *WANT* to camp a quest mob for 12 hours straight because damnit that's what gave Everquest it's name... perhaps a misnomer, as Evercamp would have been more appropriate, but I digress.

All of you guys are in your high 50s on at least one or two chars already. Like I said the highest I ever got was lvl 35 and I quit with PoP - I will not get to that level again and I sincerly doubt I will ever experience the high end of the game. Now I can't even get a damn group with your alt because you don't want to get the exp hit and either way I'm a noob right, so I would just slow you down. Let alone the fact that I'm packing a full set of netted armour and a rusty 2h sword at level 5. You can ignore what I am saying but you would also be ignoring the main reason people quit this server.

I don't play as much as I used to because I, too, have been busy with life. I would however love to start a new character, untwinked, and run around bashing things at level 5. I'd consider you the lucky one in that regard.. just sayin. <3 (I'm probably suffering from some brain damage)
