Id be happy with a pre kunark server heh. nothing beats the classic classic art.. kunark is alright but classic classic is classic.

To original poster.

No disrespect intended but their are other emulated server that have the content up to and past pop. Nothing says players who feel they want to progress beyond the set timeline of p1999 cannot move to those other emulated servers and just go through Luclin, pop, LOY or GOD.

I would honestly believe most players would leave P1999 if the devs altered their stated server end expansion. Not everyone would leave,but you would not have anywhere the same population that the server has. The server will get very crowded when Velious drops , but it will maintain a healthy population size through out its velious run.

No other emulated servers have even come close to the potential p99 has. Maybe vztz emulated but as far as total people playing and economy vztz emu wasn't even that good.

I'd be down for the addition of the PoP raids, without the monstrosity known as the "Plane of Knowledge".

Well as a community I'm sure we have plenty of smart people, not me... but im sure someone / a group of somenoes could make our own custom planes P99 style once Velius endgame has been rinsed dry:

- Plane of Mischief
- Plane of War
- Plane of Disease
- Plane of Nightmare
- Plane of Earth

All in classic textures, with a sort of "layout" and "boss types" of the PoP/expansions - but actually decent, with a Fear/Hate/Growth feel to them. The thing is these MUST be raid zones only to avoid population dilution via more zones to group in.

This wouldnt affect the social side, or the casual groupers - just gives the server more depth and the feeling that there is still something to achieve rather than thudding the fleshy wall over and over in ToV which is what many of us will be doing in a year or twos time.

TLDR; a couple/few custom P99 raid zones with thoughts of post-classic expans but with classic feel/textures/behaviors.

TLFR; before anyone says "not classic", this servers stopped being classic pretty much after Kunark with all the custom tweaks.

That's not classic. In fact, they would have banned you back in 2000 given the chance because it's against the Verant EULA if they could detect it.

There was a period in classic where they could see processes running on your PC which got overturned by at-the-time consumer rights activists, so that's definitely classic.

Server was made with AAs disabled.. id imagine reverting back to AAs and coding the changes would take forever and not be doable in meaningful timeline.

To me, classic is Release till PoP. I realize thats a whole lot of expansions, but thats when I played EQ as a teenager, thats when EQ hit its prime as far as subscribers, thats EQ to me.

Well said. PoP was the expansion that ruined the game for me, because it was so near perfection, books were really the only true flaw. PoP was too good, every xpac after was clear to be a massive disappointment, as it was. Raiding done perfect!
