SOE advertises for Project 1999

[Striiker]

Welcome to the server! You are in for a treat! This server is as old-school as you're ever going to find. As others have noted; you'll laugh at the feeling of joy when you make your first kill against a cracked staff wielding mob.. Heck, I was thrilled to see rusty weapons drop so that I could sell them to the vendors in order to be able to afford a backpack and spells!

I would also like to remind all to donate if you can! I treat this server as if it were a commercial server and donate the usual amount monthly.

hey now, don't be hating on the MC. I've got a small private server that my kids and a few work friends play on and it's pretty dang fun. Creeper is gonna creep!

Look me up in game here if you need some nukage, character name is Morlar.

And good luck and good hunting!

Thanks Marcalus! Yea I love me some MC! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'll add you to my friends, TY Sir! Hopefully before long I'll be at a level where I can contribute some DPS!

Welcome to the server!
There's a lot of love for eq here. A healthy population of trolls too, but it is a fantasy game - if you stay out of RnF you'll rarely have to shake your cracked staff at them.
Send me a tell in game if you have any questions [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hi Everyone,

So I just finished setting up my EQEMU client specifically for project 1999. The story goes as follows, SOE sends me an email about a classic progression server.

I do some research on it, and their own internal documentation has various discrepancies which cause me to get frustrated. For example, I received a few weeks of free playing as enticement to come back and play on Fippy, however fippy isn't even live yet. Even though the add tells me to go login! Come to find out Fippy won't be live for several days yet!

Furthermore SOE did a terrible job of posting any press related to the progression server. I couldn't even google to find anything really useful on the everquest main site. The most abundant information about the server came buried from within the official EQ forums. Apparently I have to parse through a mountain of unorganized posts to get any information about the progression server.

Well thats when it hit me. All this googling about Fippy somehow lead me to a link on project 1999. Here I am like, wtf is this? So I did even MORE research, and come to find out, SOE's progression server isn't really classic EQ(This is all I ever wanted). It's just the current codebase, with all of the game-altering enhancements, only with the expansions pushed back. So I read up on project 1999, I see the goals here were similar to that of eqclassic.org, though without pedantic and unnecessary attention to detail that keeps the project from ever getting realized, much to my dissapointment.

So I am thrilled to say that in less then a day of finding project 1999 I've already logged in, if only to confirm that my EQEMU client works, and that I can enjoy the server. I am so overwhelmingly excited I can't wait until the next day that I can play.

I hope the community is filled with a positive vibe, and the administration is level headed enough!

So as it turns out, SOE sent me to you! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Ironic isn't it.

I noticed that people have mentioned that there are plenty of hybrid classes already, but not many DPS classes. However other people mentioned that it might be best to get a soloing class at the moment. I'd like to play something that isn't overly used at the moment, though leveling up a tank or healer is somewhat difficult with 2boxing being restricted and all. How easy is it to get a group?

As has been said welcome to P99. Ignore the forum community as everyone seems much nicer in game. Good luck and happy hunting!

Based on my few hours of play so far (level 4 wizard now) I don't think grouping is going to be a problem. I'm currently making the trek from Steamfont over to Freeport, with a layover in KALADIM. Zone populations have been pretty dang healthy, considering it's the middle of the workday on a Monday. I expect that the high single digit/into the teens scene around Freeport/Ro/Commonlands will be jumping.

I done fixed that for ya

Stay away from the rants and flames section of the forums, otherwise you won't enjoy your stay here. Unless you're into that sort of thing.
