So what are the major differences between p99 and the Phinny server? I see it's a progression server, but the EQ site isn't all that informative. Will it progress all the way to the last expansion of Live EQ?

i dunno Lhance, I never played there :/ im adventuring in Eorzea (FFXIV) Lots of fun there though. It had issues with original launch, but SE shut it down, reworked it and launched it again and it has over 4.5million subscribers now. It has a cash shop too, but it all vanity and really caters to the population. Adventuring is very engaging and it also has a lot of fantastic other features like housing and stuff that make for fun when not bashing things. It definitely a lot faster paced than EQ, which upsets me a bit because it make it hard to chat while adventuring, but it fun too and lots of time and places to do that outside of adventuring (traveling, taverns, houses, guildhalls, apartments, etc.)

This person right here is who would get purged when Nilbog switches over clients. You don't get to bitch about post-PoP content and refuse to play on servers that don't offer post PoP quality of life features.

um.. no.. there are distinct issues with the client and the server physics are clunky and buggy.

I guess Phinny also has jerks.

[Daldaen]

That client is the exact client used from PoP era. There isn't anything clunky about it that didn't exist in PoP.

That's the client P99 should be using since a true Trilogy one doesn't exist. It would atleast bring into line the controls and view of the game to be far more classic.

The beauty about Phinigel jerks is they operate in their own instances so you can completely ignore them and play with people whom you don't find jerks. Allowing you to do any content you wish, no one can really block you out of doing content.

[Sadiki]

I get that. It's the PoP client and P99 should be using that or a previous one. But the takp server doesn't seem to operate normally, mob physics are weird, speed is awkwardly faster than live, etc. I didn't really come here to argue about it, I just wanted an opinion on PoP servers from people who are actively talking about and enjoying PoP right now. I'm guessing the Phinny crew enjoys the post-PoP stuff though.

How long does it take to get from 1-60 61-65? For group dependent classes (like rogues) is the population sufficient to find groups. How hard is it to join a decent raid guild? What time of time commitment is raiding?

Thanks in advance for your help

We pulled in 140+ Time/Ele loots on Sunday alone this past week. If you want some real pixels lemme know.

I still say Dima fucked his girlfriend IRL. No way someone is this obsessed with Dima/OGC and there isn't real life drama involved.

It helps to start with a balanced crew, solo PUGing kinda sucks. There's plenty of people still leveling up so it shouldn't be that bad, group xp is way way way better than solo xp though. There's literally dozens of raid guilds with a full range of commitment levels.

Depends on your play style and how many hours you game a week, but its easy to lvl on phinny.

Population is high, always groups, i group with randoms almost always.

Do you have a pulse? oh they will take you

What time of time commitment is raiding?
Depends which type of guild you join

Grouping is easy. lots of alts and new players make for easy grouping. People powerleveling many of those groups makes it even faster. There are usually multiple picks of the better xp zones so finding a camp isn't too bad either.

Guilds, you have your pick as Dal said. You want to neckbeard like a boss, join AOS and batphone insanity crawler. Prefer a less taxing schedule and like doing things with low numbers for more loot, try OGC. Want to raid once a week, theres a guild for that too. You can absolutely find a guild that fits your style and playtimes.

Half of this server would quit overnight if Nilbog enforced the Trilogy Client. So many horrible players couldn't deal with having to play in first person or an F9 view of 3rd person.

Are the ways to view your character on Phinny limited? I am not familiar with what the "Trilogy Client" is.
