If they pulled the plug tomorrow there would be no other place to play classic EQ anywhere.

The thing is... someone would plug it back in, and it would basically be like a serve reset, which would be awesome for all the newcomers like me... soo... no?

the thing is that other folks have tried to do what you are describing, and they fail...miserably.

Maybe, maybe not, since the P1999 modifications (compared to the public EQEmu code) are not released to the public. Thus, there is a small risk that we will some day all go "awww, fuck!" if the plug gets pulled and/or the devs "run away" with the source code. Still, it's unlikely since there are multiple developers, and some are bound to have local copies of the code somewhere, no matter what happens.

In a way, it's generally a terrible thing for an enthusiast-driven free project like this to be closed source, but I understand the reasoning to a degree. Let's just hope the best for the future.

I have attempted to rope my friends into playing, hell, for years I have tried to get my girlfriend to give it a try. The occasional person tries, but they don't seem to last long. There is something about the awesome level of nostalgia that is offered here by the p99 team that only some of us can understand. Those who are new and never played classic, are rare, but they do exist and it great to see them play, but what the team has done for us veterans is more than we could ask for.

From the bottom of our hearts (some of them colder than others) we thank you.

I agree with the OP, but I still play live a lot. If you just want to go to the original zones up to Velious and not ever go to PoK or use the Bazzar and just farm and make your own gear without a Merc you can pretty much experience the same old stuff.

Nobody says you have to do AA's etc. I have 3 level 100 toons on there so I do both options. And it is free just like this with some limitations. But none that are a pain if you want to be sort of Classic. Just something to think about. Live is not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. Depends on what you like to do. There is a lot of options, and damn now there is a TON of zones.

My problem with Live was I wasn't able to "solo" unless I had a mercenary or boxed.

One of the best things on live was that some of the classic zones have had their graphics updated which look amazing. I wish this server had updated graphics on par with Live (even including the revamped zones i.e. Qeynos) while still keeping it classic.

Another great thing I wish this server had was AA which it will probably never see.
