Everquest Live - Test Server?

Akaylas · #1 12-31-2017, 01:13 AM

Only a few days ago, I decided to give P99 a shot, after having tried Shards of Dalaya. I wanted a real hard-mode MMO experience. Everquest was my third MMO, but my first real serious MMO; I played from 99-03 (Launch through OOW) on the Test server.

While browsing the Wiki, I stumbled upon a page on the wiki that contained a list of people that played on different servers. I was saddened when I didn't see an entry for Test server. Are there any Test server folks around? I played a Shaman (named same as username) and participated in most Velious+ server firsts; I remember the character wipe, the item wipe, the name changes, last name changes, the GM intervention, server downtime, killing Tormax 7 times in one night, beta testing expansions and everything else that happened on the experimental server with countless stories to tell.

Test Server Friends (or Primal Brood), sound off!

Fake edit: Mods, feel free to move this to Starting Zone if it's not appropriate for this subforum.

A rogue in primal brood got me and a buddy hooked on eq, we were on test server for a brief stint and then rerolled on live. Cant remember his name, but he lived in idaho =)

Akaylas! Lootie reporting in. Haha good ole TSF(Dark Advocates -> Redemption)! It is a small world (or city). I think those 7 Tormax kills came with us dying 20-30 times because he was flurrying and rampaging. Yelinak was another beast as well.

Glad you're doing well and see you in-game.

Oh shit, what's up man? I'm betting they don't let you smuggle mana stones from live on this server!

I'm playing as a magician named Dizzlefunk. Kamaf / Gamgaz (idk if you remember him) and I are playing a bard/druid duo, but he doesn't have much time to play these days

Was super young back then, but I was on test. Had a shaman named Runningfish whose name got changed to Runifi. Also had a ranger named Rumppul. Played in a small guild called Iron Flame. Trying to remember what the raiding alliance I was in was called later on. It's been so damn long it's just not coming to me lol.

Test is on there: http://wiki.project1999.com/Player_List#Test_Server

I played on Test for several years, starting in 2007. I was in a progression guild (Remnants of Kunark/Unintended Consequences) for most of that time, until it petered out and a new progression guild started over. I decided to join up with Zen Cabal rather than re-do the progression guild experience. I quit EQ about 6 months later and didn't play again until coming to p99 a couple of years ago.

I spent some time on Test. Great community compared to live.
