Poll: How do you want p1999 to end?

"You hear rustling sounds from the bushes behind you... Upon turning around you see a face peek out from the shadowy trees, smoke twirling around the branches... A large explosion is heard from miles away. You jump up suprised but the face in the bushes says to you: Relax, let me tell you about the Moon and the Power"

Moon: Too much Space mumbojumbo, aliens and Bazaar - ruins immersion and roleplay value

Power: Too much power, planes and travelspeed - ruins immersion and roleplay value

Everquest = Immersive Roleplaying game online. I know you guys who want PoP etc where those people who started playing WoW, I never did, thats why I like this server here and it should stay this way untill its finally weeded out all you guys who hate roleplaying and immersion.

Never played WoW.

PoP still best EQ expansion by far. What's more immersive than leveling up for 3 years and gaining power to challenge all of your own gods in their own realm in an MMORPG?

Best storyline, best raids (Atleast up til that point), fantastic flagging/keying system (once the bugs were ironed out), tradeskills all are made relevant, quests were baller, class balance was at its peak, raid interface and many other interface upgrades.

PoP was the best at everything.

Just cuz this threads still going

I was always a smidge disappointed that they didn't create a new server for each xpac, but I think releasing a custom luclin would be a good way to kill the game.

PoP and Luclin will happen eventually. Expect Rogean to announce in the next 6 months.

Don't tease me.

Did you just continue raiding and looting the next EQ expacs then?

This is the p99 server, advertising and proclaiming itself since the creation as an EQ Classic server that will never include the Luclin expansion or any other than Kunark and Velius.
You remember that don't you, I'm sure its the reason you also signed up for it. Why are you gaming addicts always hellebent at ruining this server for everyone who came here because of it's innate description?
There are gazillion games to raid, why ruin the one and only true elf sim for the rest of us like the last time(non casual gamers the Sony staff catered the most too, since you just couldn't stop playing the game every once in a while).

You've been playing this game too much and too long, take a rest a read a book my friend. This goes out to the rest of ya 2010ers, peace bros /massage

Classic to me is launch through PoP. If I recall PoP or the first expansion after that had the highest subscriber base in EQ. Thats how most people remember Everquest, therefore classic. Most people werent even max level in this era, Velious raiding was more mainstream during Luclin and beyond.

Tend to agree with most of this.

Kunark and Velious symbolised typical EQ romanticism but PoP symbolised the true height of EQ in terms of player numbers and satisfaction. All went down hill from LDoN / GoD onwards.

I expect a new server will pop up eventually but the problem is there is only what, 2500 people in the world who want EQ who don't play on Daybreak so splitting that population into 3 or 4 servers is dangerous as zones begin to get quiet - especially when you add 50 more zones into the mix.

The whole reason why I didn't like PEQ was because you logged in and had to travel for an hour before you met another player. Kinda need a high population to stimulate the classic nostalgia of competition and value in pixels.

The question is would you play on a deserted server just because it went to PoP?

NB: PoP was best expac for raiding - but IMO not overall content as books and PoK ruined a lot of shit...

[Tankdan]

3-4 years of Velious, 3 years Luclin, 2 years of PoP, then wipe it clean.

I would very much enjoy a detailed and intellectual reason as to how Everquest players, most of who probably started in classic or kunark, are influenced by World of Warcraft (2004 release) to make the decision to hypothetically implement PoP (2002 release) as the last expansion here. To me that sounds completely idiotic, but perhaps I'm missing something here.
