Yeah, it is, SoW and Port is an important part of the economy. "Is it worth paying to port there since im short on funds?, should i pay for a SoW instead?"

Once you're max level and "rich", a port is "nothing" in terms of cost, but it's at that point still a great source of income for druids and wizzies

Who actually pays for SoW? I sow everything even corpses for free, and never have a problem getting sow on my other toons.

I have literally not paid for SoW one time ever and I have never accepted a donation for SoW on either of my chars that can cast it and donations are VERY VERY rarely (Like 1/100 at most) offered for it. DAP typically expects 1pp per lvl for ports and from the DAP folks I've asked its not uncommon at all to receive ~30pp tips even from lvl 60's. Getting a port isn't prohibitively expensive at any level unless you have absolutely no idea how to make plat at all in this game. You can farm enough plat at sisters in Lfay at lvl 12 in a couple hours to pay for all the ports you'll need for a month+

NarcolepticLTD said it best. Porters on this server are griffon masters. You're absolutely 100% deluding yourself if you think otherwise or think it's somehow vastly different than the "easy" travel of PoK or that adding something like PoK would somehow ruin the game. Literally the only thing it'd ruin is all the people who leveled druid alts specifically to tag them DAP and earn 1kpp an hr to cast port spells. Would it really ruin the game if that went away? Somehow I don't think so. It's a racket not much better than Chardok AE proxies in my book.

You do understand that spending the first half of your argument, discussing how trivial it is to leverage the existing player population for transportation... Then the other half discussing how people porting can turn 1kpp an hour, and compare that type of gameplay to a "racket", and chardok AE proxies, makes it a challenge to take your position seriously, right?

Very very crucial part of the Everquest experience.

not to mention 90% of the server 50+ has a hammer [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For a classic server where travel times are an important part of being so immersed right now... there's a whole lot of people pretending druids aren't griffon masters on p99.

thanks for voting!!

I would like to see Green99 occur. Starts at classic and goes up to whatever expansion Rogean and the team want (presumably Velious) and after a couple years of having been at final content, get folded into Blue99, and Green99 starts over again.

I also really like Nydosa's ideas for custom content.

I understand that a lot of people really care about the "museum server" angle, but for me that's not a big part of the appeal of Project 1999. I like Classic EQ for the player interdependence, the relatively slow pace of combat and progression in general, the subdued particle effects and animations that make it easy to tell what's going on, the sandboxy mechanics, and so on.

Nostalgia is definitely also a component of the game's appeal, but the game doesn't have to be a completely faithful reproduction to successfully evoke nostalgic feelings.

And really, part of the classic experience of playing Live back in the day was anticipating future content, and not knowing exactly what was on the horizon... and the only way to recreate that particular experience now is with custom content.

discord or rolling reset servers that dump into red/blue after the velious timeline would be good.
fuck luclin completely

[Swish]

Luclin and PoP on a server with no boxing? Would be great.

[Daldolma]

I'd vote reset. But Luclin and PoP could be fun.

Custom content on a nostalgia server makes no sense to me.
