Progression?

Now we've passed Luclin, skipped LDoN and another expansion... and on to PoP? What's wrong with you people?!!?

LDON and LOY were post-PoP... how is that skipping anything? And what's so bad about cherry picking all the most fun elements of the game for 1 super server?

Either they smelled the roses a long time ago and are on to something else, or they can't smell and never noticed that roses smell good.

But now that you mention it, I'd be completely for skipping LOY and LDON content and releasing a difficulty-tuned GoD, cause that expansion was mostly good too, especially Tacvi.

Sorry, this was not meant as a derail. just wanted to get an idea of what people did not like about Luclin.

In any case I too am hoping to have time to catch up before Kunark comes out. Ideally I would like to be in my 40's by the time they open Hate and Air but it looks like I might miss the boat on that one.

Do we have a list of guilds for the server anywhere? I think I might need to start finding a group of "usual suspects" to go adventuring with.

Hello all,

I'm new around here having discovered Project 1999 just a few days ago. I've been looking around for the exact rule set on the server but haven't been able to find it. What I'm most curious about are changes from classic (xp modifiers, class bonuses, etc) and the time scale for implementing kunark and velious. I've seen a few references to it being similar to original (which would be kunark at 1 year) but nothing official.

Looking forward to old school EQ gaming.

Cheers,

Binibren of Bristlebane

Cant put my finger on it... but I think a point was missed someplace about page 2

LOL. I know, I never did get that answer. But, it has sparked some lively debate on a tangential line. That's par for the course on the Internets these days and I really don't mind.

Well, the only one who can answer the OP's question is a GM, so in the meantime all we have is baseless conjecturing.

[darnzen]

The problem is "end game" (relative to whatever expansion is active) is very tough and becomes trivial when you are exposed to the new items / levels in the next expansion. So "unlocking" simply by having one guild say kill Naggy / Vox / Cazic, would trivialize it for everyone else. I think it would be best to have the first kill of all the main raid targets start the clock for the expansion. So after they're all dead, Kunark is launched in 3-6 months. Something like that. Otherwise, everyone will wait until they're lvl 60 and geared up in Kunark gear to attempt PoF again after the first time. I mean, only a crazy person would go there without clerics with epics right?

[Pyrocat]

a timer probably makes sense, but people are still going to try and down old world raid bosses.

[Morfnblorsh]

I don't care what the system for unlocking the new content is, as long as we don't end up with a singular gigantic raiding guild having everything permanently camped and controlled at all times.

I'm not saying that this is what is happening right now, I'm only saying that I don't want that to be the case in the future. I want to see some healthy competition. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
