The admins of Project 1999 have needlessly painted themselves into a corner by promoting their strict interpretation of what constitutes "classic EverQuest". Instead, what they should be promoting is the "spirit of classic EverQuest". The addition of Surefall Glade portal would be a welcome addition to P1999 and is truly in the spirit of classic EverQuest.

Normally I would say that this is a case of fact vs interpretation, and that the latter could fail due to poor interpretation and then ultimately implementation.

However P99's in a unique situation where the choices made have no put us in an even less than classic scenario.

This is why I stated that the developers are clearly not incapable or unwilling to make changes, if they are worthwhile to them.
From a community point of view, we do not know what actually constitutes 'worthwhile.' Have we ever seen Rogean sit down with us all and explain why a lot of things were done, are as they are and may or may not be in the future?

I get that you can't 'talk' to mobs or crowds ; and if the government shared things daily with the masses of sheep, we'd constantly have riots and discourse.

Never the less, P99's staff could work on their PR, because it is sorely lacking - and no, Sirken going tit-for-tat with people in RnF, is not what I mean by community interaction.

The Surefall port's due to be added, eventually. It was a pre-Luclin spell.

But does it fall within the time line - again, we're not certain that we'll get all of the Velious era content.

This sums up your entire post.

My response: They shouldn't.

It's a game. You have to actually play it.

You've taken one point and then mashed it together with something else that doesn't make sense.

I can can only comment that if you're giving free ports, no one would know that and thus the idea that free ports is not hard to come by, becomes moot and irrelevant. I'd also question how often you sit around in the Qeynos area offering these - as opposed to EC or OT?
