This servers goal was to provide a basic nostalgia for the "good ol' days" of EQ. I think it does that perfectly. Once you've traveled to zones you hadn't been to in years, leveled up a little bit, grouped a little bit, and wiped a couple of times the nostalgia wears off, and you get an experience that is no longer classic. However, I think it's futile to expect a truly full classic experience since
A) this is free emulator B) its freakin 14 years later...times have changed, information is more readily available, and this games been played to death. I feel like the majority of players will come back to enjoy this game for a couple of months and then move on, and most of the issues discussed here (sans ddos lag) won't affect them. I don't really see the need for a wipe or fresh server, and am unsure whether i would care enough to start on fresh server if there was one. You can never stand in the same river twice. | ||

Im fairly new to P99, and i have to say it is a great experience, it does have its bugs, but the feel is almost perfect. I have a 31 Ranger and 21 Necro, and i have enjoyed playing them, having played EQ before, i had a plan in mind of how to progress, and it worked really well. My plan did not involve using exploits, or other off game mechanics. Some peeps are always going to try to cheat, its inevitable. I like to play strait up even to a fault, because most of the times i like to SOLO.
I have been reading your comments on the issue at hand, and i will have to side on the make a new server idea, with all the game patches already implemented. I have acquired some nice twink stuff, some given, others i worked to buy, but i would not mind starting clean knowing that this server will be around for a while and not die a quick death because of some cheaters. But, all we can do is post our suggestions and hope the admins make a good decision, i will be playing till then, and if a new server comes live, i will be playing on that one, it doesnt matter to me, if i had multiple 60lvl characters i would still start new, for me its the joy of progress not the end game.

No one would quit after a wipe. What would they do? Go play the sleeper? Quit playing games? Not likely. The server population is so backend loaded that the 60s are bored as hell anyway.

And yeah, thats exactly what they would do, quit playing EQ. Not games, just p1999. No one is going to trust the server again, because a wipe would always be a possibility. You tamper with ideas without really knowing the consequences of your actions. Thank God you're not the president (however, given the current situation, you probably couldn't do much worse). | |||
