Project 1999 feels like a custom server since green

You can't go home again.

What's frustrating is most of my nostalgia is from p99 itself, especially pre velious blue. I only vaguely remember eq from when I was a kid and played mostly after luclin and pop. On p99, I experienced the old game again and it was AMAZING. I would introduce friends to the game any chance that I could. I just feel like since that time the game has gotten progressively worse instead of better.

quest xp being disabled for everyone is ridiculous. If there is a segment of the population that is going to spend a year saving up quest Xp items so that they can power level to 60 upon kunark release, and the admins don't want that to tarnish achievements or whatever the reason is, why not put a daily limit on repeatable quests or something. I'm coming up with this solution off the top of my head and its way better than disabling quest xp entirely for everyone for a month. Same goes for the list system , a child could have come up with a better solution to that problem.

They do the patch notes with big patches that have lots of changes, but when it comes to the smaller ninja patches there's no patch notes, no communication about when things are happening (eg when firepots are being patched out), etc etc, they just kinda do what they want, when they want, without sharing any timeline. In a way that seems to benefit certain people, sometimes.

the lighting is TERRIBLE, Infravision was better in classic

Infravision made mobs look bright red in classic, it was really annoying. Pray they never fix it.

-------------------------------------------

All I can say is P1999 is a whole lot more classic than it was when I started here. I don't begrudge the admins a few non-classic things. I'd be far less stringently classic than they are, were I making the calls.

I began realizing some time ago that the favorable impressions I had of live EQ were from a Velious state of the Old World game and that actually playing the pre-Hole game is really not all that engaging as a mid-game altoholic and goal-oriented crafter. The fun diversions to the mid-game (Symbol quests, cultural armor, f------ Druid Track) keep getting later to the point where I think hell, I could have stayed on Blue (except for the population vanishing).

That's just my opinion though.
