Velious...the myth?

So like, shouldn't Velious be out already, according to the timeline? Is there a post somewhere I missed about how much of it has been scripted so far on P99?

I'd totes come back and play again if Velious was implemented.

The staff at Project1999 has confirmed its working on Velious at this time.

However, it being implemented the same time as it was in classic is not a guarantee.

We ask for your patience at this time.

I am pretty sure Velious will be released. When, is another question. Velious is going to be a lot of work to get working correctly. Epics haven't even been out that long. I am assuming it will be atleast another year before we see Velious.

There is allllllllllllllllllllllllot more to Velious than Classic EQ and Kunark. It will come - and it will be great.

Eh incorrect. There is alot more "raid testing" faction "testing" but all those quests are easy to test. Velks might be a pathing nightmare however HAHA

It's more content but Kunark required a fuck ton more reconstruction to "classic" Kunark due to all the expansions. Velious was relatively left untouched and was under construct even during the Kunark dev. days. I await with my dick out.

I realize nobody likely can even give a rough guess as to when a supposed release date would be, save for the devs.

It would just be nice to know that they are indeed working on it, and maybe even a % estimate as to how complete it currently is. 40% complete vs. 5% complete would certainly make me more optimistic that I'll see it before I turn 30.

This.

They started with the PEQ database, as most servers do. Shit was already populated. The work they're doing is in fine tuning it to Classic era and putting in finishing touches (such as correcting spawn points/pathing etc), re-implementing broken and/or removed quests. Adding items that were removed, removing items that were added, removing mobs that were added, stat scaling for revamped zones and other things along those lines.

Kunark was vastly more affected by later expansions than Velious was. One simple example is the fact that LDoN added two new zones to Kunark. Veksar and Chardok B. Velious got no new zones ever.
