The game play experience is so much better in P99 in regards to smoothness of mouse look and lack of latency. When you move the mouse to look around there is a few hundred ms of lag to the look response.

The client definitely feels a bit jank compared to what people are used to from more modern clients like P99's.

For me it got a lot more manageable after using it for a few hours. Personally I just use first person more often. I also rebound the F9 camera select so I could more easily see around my character while medding.

What's not being mentioned however are the client improvements over P99. The lighting is better and more accurate. The sound/music is better. Elements like name tags are more classic.

Secrets has also said that he's still working on the camera but it might not be improved before launch. He's open sourced the DLL and other people are encouraged to make improvements to it in the meantime.

Regarding cheating, I find it a bit strange that this is being discussed so much here. Every EQ server you've played on has had cheating, including P99. It's unfortunately just been part of the game since the very beginning. But it seems that Secrets will be just as effective at detecting and removing cheaters as P99 is, so I'm not sure why there's so much skepticism here.

crazy to think we will have to wait until 2026 before we get to taste luclin

Yeah this is probably my biggest concern with the server. 2.25 years for Luclin release is rough. We've had 14 years of Vanilla->Velious content on P99.

Another concern I have is with the database. P99 was successful because a lot of work was put into the database before the server launched which made the server feel special compared to other projects. Quarm feels mostly like a PEQ clone and there's already been a lot of low pop PEQ clones. I'd really like to see a lot more people playing on the server and submitting database reports to the Discord.
