Why Add Velios?

TLDR; Luclin contained such massive changes that the original feel, gameplay, and design of EQ was lost. It was the beginning of the end.

I am an old school EQ Classic player and am wondering why Project1999 is making the same horrendous mistake that Sony made by over expanding.


I was excited when my friend found this project because Classic EQ(pre-Velious*sp) was the perfect size world for both leveling and pvping. No sooner than I join this game and am having a blast do I read that this project is making the same mistakes that Sony/Verant made.

I quit EQ classic at Luclin because as a PvP player it became impossible to find anyone to fight with the moment Luclin came out. Why would this server that doesn't have nearly the population of EQ in it's prime over-expand to a much larger world?

Are the added zones, which will be 95% deserted, worth it? Is the little bit of extra gear, worth it? I say, No.

Thoughts?

Ill explain you what happened in Everquest, and whats happening here, from what ive saw:


Everquest -> Expansions came when people finished and make trivial previous one, and had to add different challenges.

P99 Everquest -> Kunark is so CROWDED of level 60 players and alts, wich are stucks to always the same, plus, the raid scene is generating lots of problems cause the amount of guilds that wants to raid and the low raid content, you cant keep it small anymore.

Do you really think they had 4 million people on one server?

Well, we as players have also become more efficient at things, requiring less people to do the same work.

EQ never had 4 million players during the classic era (if ever), even across the 20-ish servers. All the data I've seen has it peaking around 2007 with about 500k subscribers, and during the classic era they peaked around 250k (and climbing).

I would not doubt it if P99 has more accounts "per capita" due to it being free. And at this point, being stuck in Kunark for 2+ years, we certainly have more top-level characters than classic era EQ.

EQ during Luclin i think, had 100k people on at once across all servers, thats the most they have ever had online at once.

this reads like a sirilous post

AAs are shit and were just added in to add more endless grind bullshit to EQ to keep people playing and paying subscriptions. They are part of what ruined what used to be a good game. If this server had AAs I'd quit playing. But it wont, ever, and that's why I'm here.
