This museum metaphor needs to die and the stagnant pond one needs to realize its prominence.

What the devs "want" is something like they remember, except when they don't want to remember it that way, or know they can't because people are awful.

Good luck.

There's nothing about this that is a "museum"

EverQuest is still a game today that includes all of the content that this server offers, and then a whole metric shitton more. The "museum" isn't here, and it's already owned by someone else.

As I write this, there are 2,474 people playing across the four servers.

Players are still playing with the wacky dynamic lighting and locked close up clip plane. Players are still playing with magicians not having high end pets. Players are still playing with drop rates pushing towards days while following a list command prompting relatively close attention to being alive or lose your spot. Players are still playing with a mixture of both classic and non-classic aspects in a ~classic~ environment.

But opening the Green server made a few headlines.

Pretty sure the devs are not in any hurry to fix anything right now.

Mages on Live had no pets beyond 29 for two months after release. The situation here is actually unclassically good.

Please, go eat shit!

i never played classic eq or a server from start; green is my first experience. i just always thought research combines were "broken" at 34...so you're telling me this is classic?

(edit) also, i'm not lobbying for vendored pet spells...i'm a gambling man and i personally think doing combines up to 49 is cool.

Go outside a bit instead of freaking out about some pets that will be fixed in time. I personally find it a bit amusing that these players picked mage to be quick levelers and power houses and now all I see is crying.

i'm a mage at heart and going for my 3rd epic..not everyone made the class to neckbeard it to 50. i didn't even know about the whole pet thing until i was lvl 20.

The fix for broken 34 and up mage recipes was ready weeks ago and Nilbog indicated it would be going in soon, there is some deliberate reason why they decided not to go ahead with it. I’m not sure they will be sharing it with us though.

Because it's not "classic"... even though they make unclassic changes all the time.

Def was not easy getting 50 as a mage. I did solo from 40-50 though. It really made me get creative and very quantitative with my choices of where to XP. Level 45 wasnt really really bad. I thought 46-48 was where I was going to hit my breaking point.

I personally just hope they dont vendor all the pets.

It must have been a real fun experience.
I personnally am social and played a mage as they are supposed to be played before and its a great and fun experience. Pets serves very well in group ro solo and its what makes this class fun and its how it was designed.

All classes have been designed with certain ideas behind them, sadly magician wasnt finished at release and it got fix the minute people got to that content, first they had to confirm because verant hid the fact. Soon as it was proven, they nija patch it the next day.

For the record i too wouldnt go on an all vendor solution, but the all research solution wasnt viable or logic either. It is not by chance they put 2 34 pets and 2 39, it breaks the chain and let people start their chain of pets from 34 scrolls or 39 scrolls, removing the need of high level magician to go back to lower level zones and rape the shit out of the place removing exp opportunity for the youngs at the same time.

Cheers, lets hope they act, and soon, first boring EQ experince in 20 years.

This whole thing just put in the light the lack of professionalism of the team. It's ok they are "volonteers".

The change they made after beta proved the team is lazy and prone to influence by anyone with half an argument. They have shot right next to their goal and missed the point of the server.

They have let a couple of nerds change:

Recreating the everquest classic experience
To
Recreating lines of codes.

Literally the whole point of p99 is to recreate the mechanics. See sig.
