Hopes for the future of p99

If no further expansions are coming out. Then I hope that at least they will consider custom content changes. Something that keeps with the spirit of classic, and yet makes improvements. Such as increasing pally ,sk damage, improving wizard mana efficiency, maybe better raid mechanics. And even custom zones with new raids for endgame. What do you hope for future content?

It being wiped clean.

It's been considered, as stated numerous times by several GMs & developers, but it's silly to start thinking about it right now because we're like half-way through Velious. Custom content is a thing that they might start thinking about long after the final Velious patch goes in, and the Velious timeline might stretch on for another couple years. A recycle/green/classic TLP server and the Discord server are higher on the priorities list than custom content, and those will be huge undertakings in and of themselves. So there have been no guarantees - it's just a consideration. And I mean, let's be realistic; nilbog & co. have a hard time just keeping up with all the bugs and petitions and update patches and events, etc., etc. - the server is perpetually understaffed, and that's probably not going to change.

There are plenty of threads where you can wax futuristic about potential P99 custom content: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=252566

the obvious thing to do is have a fresh p99 progression server. 6 months per expansion would be great.

Hey everybody! Another "Let's ruin the project because I've been playing it too much and now I'm bored" thread.

Hey everyone, another troll. This is not about being bored. I love the game. But it's a fact that, after full velious is finished, the game will stagnate without a promise of future content or some kind of change. Having a discussion on what people hope for is not hurting anything. It may even serve to give the devs ideas to that end.

The game is literally stagnant already. It was designed to be stagnant. That is the whole purpose of p99.

People who are trying to get this to "evolve" and hope "for future content" have really, really missed the point of this server.

The fact is that we are playing a game that is 16 years old. It is the very definition of a game that is not going to have new content. It is, in fact, why most of us came here to play it in the first place.

That having been said, devs are on record as wanting to do something custom, so you'll get new things eventually. Just not the new things from other xpacs.

Yep! There always things to do though in EQ though ^^ No need for more.

100% agreed with this. If you're looking for something to do there's surely something new right under your nose. Everything has theoretically been discovered by people, but there's plenty of shit to do that either isn't on the wiki or is detailed poorly, and is probably new to you.

And if you short-circuited the leveling process by taking the primrose path or using pbaoe groups, go back and do it again, and do it right this time. Norrath is huge and there's a ton of dungeons to explore at every level band. I've been doing it for years; it's part of why I came to this server in the first place, as I deeply regretted my rush to 60 on live only to find myself doing the same dull raids over and over.
