I think this style of server would be closer to original EQ than what we have now. Because in original EQ we didn't know where every single item in the game dropped, or how to get to most camps even if we did know where items we wanted dropped.

P99 doesn't emulate classic in the sense that we all have every thing down to a science, which is not how classic EQ played at all.

I think also someone just copy/pasting the original EQ but with modern graphics, mechanics, and new names of zones/items would be fairly successful. A lot of the early MMOs that came out trying to compete with WoW were actually good games, but because they got rushed out so fast, they tended to be severely lacking in content.

If they had just copy/pasted EQ they would have had plenty of content. Most modern players would never even know that they copied EQ since they never played it. It's why I'm still shaking my head at Pantheon. 10+ years... for what they've released so far. It shouldn't have been that complicated.

It's so fun.

Also the camps you do are so different than the ones you currently do it's like a whole new game.

I wish I wiiiiiiiiiiiiish.

I remember the day Mischief launched [You must be logged in to view images.

A Ranger in my group got a polished granite tomahawk and everyone on the server freaked out because that was considered a good item at the time.

But also it makes zones like UR, which generally have terrible loot, actually decent. I remember getting a pearl kedge totem at fireplace. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wait wait wait, did you type this out as a reason that people would enjoy EQ pvp? Spending hundreds of hours just sitting at a zone entrance as a hall monitor? That's your pitch?

My guy, lol

It's sure, presented like that....

You can already imagine that I was more doing the forager cycle than sitting in front of the zone, waiting to get one-shotted by any group that zone in.
I was talking more about all the interactions that it generated, having to defend etc...

I could also expose the arguments for the ridiculous tons of rules you have in PvE, rooted mobs, draft, rotations, FTE...

Compared to "clear the area, get the mob" ...

You just have to realize that it's not the same game, nothing to compare.

You have to be on the spectrum to argue that classic eq is a good game and you basically have to have downs to argue that eq PVP even qualifies as a bad game

No, the Xennials who still play classic EQ didn't get enough vaccines to contract autism. They're afflicted with old-fashioned mental disorders like OCD, social anxiety, and clinical depression.

only 6 people on the planet give a shit about pvp in everquest.

This is very true, the only puzzling thing is that people definitely used to give a shit about it. The classic PVP servers had very healthy pops back then

Maybe those people have healthy successful lives? Or that form of everquest might be far less addictive...
