I tried to offer my help to them even before I started project1999.

They were unwilling to accept my suggestions.

It's cool.
Several people offered to help them..even original EQ Devs/GMs.

I think Yeahlight is a megalomaniac with a touch of dogmatism.

i dont think you understand what they are trying to do
They are trying to build Classic EQ from the ground up instead of taking Titanium/SOD and shaping it into Classic.

The sad reality is that they have been trying to do this for over 5 years.(From what i have read over the years).

EQC has been through a lot. Yes it is taking a long time but it will be worth it. Personally I think it would be nice to have a couple more classicesqe servers available to play on. On live if you got sick of the raid scene or the community on a server there were many more to choose from. Many folks, my self included, played on multiple servers.

As to not accepting help, I believe that they are trying to keep the sanctity of their work. Why doesn't Nilbog and Rogean make their work on this server public and help stir up a few new servers? Because they worked really hard to get this right and don't want to just give it away to a bunch of slackers. I am pretty sure that Yeahlight and company feel the same.

It will be a real challenge to play on EQC when it comes out. I have plans to try to recreate a awesome computer from the year 2000 to run it, I mean it should be pretty cheap to do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Classic everquest fans are a community. One that has to fend for its self due to that companies foolish attitude. The fact that P99 exists at all is a miracle, I mean many of you don't remember the DDoS era but I do. Have faith! By the time we are in Velious here EQC will most likely be up and running [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

With that sort of mentality, I don't think most people would care what they accomplish. Doubt many would play a game with big brother breathing down their neck. Sort of defeats the purpose of a game.

For what it's worth, the people running the forums aren't going to have anything to do with the finished product going live. They aren't planning on hosting any servers.

"The strict moderation servers two purposes: Allowing the Devs to concentrate on the Code and prevents a return of those aforementioned issues."

It's obvious why EQC isn't out yet. Yeahlight is too busy playing forum nazi to accomplish anything else. Instead of working on the client and server, all their coding effort for the past 5 years has been spent on their forums and was geared toward quashing any mention of p99(or any game besides EQC, for that matter) and suppressing criticism. What a joke. =)

I did not mean to imply I am part of the dev team. I am and have been a member of the website for a few years, same fourm name.

Don't think I am not frustrated that it hasn't gone live yet, but Nilbog and company have done a great job with this server and I am sated, I just like to start over when everyone else has to as well [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
