Final Beta Push

Oh I'm aware it's trash, but that's not my choice to make. Interestingly enough, they have the security settings so locked down on these things that I can't change anything in Mcafee to bypass the auto scan, but I can transfer files from my USB drive, install EQ Titanium using Daemon Tools and update from the EQ site while on my work network without any issue. But that one damn dsetup.dll sets off all sorts of alarms, bells and whistles. le sigh.

Try copying your install to a flash drive and make a new shortcut and just run it from there. Works sometimes.

No need to "install". Just copy your normal p99 install folder onto an external, then run it from there. Whether that will escape McAfee scans I can't tell you (depends on your ITs setup) but I've run p99 off an external with good success doing it this way. EQ didn't install any registry keys or anything else so a simple folder copy works fine.

Uninstall McAfee, install Microsoft Security Essentials for the win.

We can really only do the testing needed when someone with powers is around to facilitate (talking mostly about Ring War here).

We got 2 ring war tests in on Friday when Rogean was there.

I know as a new player my opinion doesn't hold much weight but I would be for Velious going live without raid mobs. there is still tons of content and drops that would allow players to strengthen their toons. More folks would be heading to Velious just for the drops, testing the zones and such as a side effect I see that as a win win. I know the raid folks wont get what they want on day one but it would push things closer Too them getting what they want

I disagree with this plan. But you gotta admit, releasing the expansion before it is fully developed is definitely "classic" EQ. Maybe we could get a few key quests implemented but without the necessary components anywhere in the itemization? Oooh! Maybe the quests themselves could just be broken and eat your hand-ins? Good times. Good times.

Also, where my beta at? Server down?

Guys he said GUIDs, not guilds. Jeez, talk about an overreaction. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

HI all, I am new to P99, I want to thank those involved with the creation and development for giving us a chance to relive 1999 EQ. I have been reading about a wipe of the server, I don't quite understand why that is necessary; doesn't live EQ just make an expansion live when they come out?
I have started 2 characters they are only level 10, and I have really enjoyed the classic experience, but if the server is going to be wiped what is the use of going any further?
RL time is valuable it just doesn't make sense to put in countless game hours just to see your efforts dashed in a second.
