Greetings Project 1999!

... it's a silly Minecraft machinima on Youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/bashurverse ) and I was blown away when I came across "Project 1999".

I have a huge history with EverQuest, and this is something that literally almost made me cry knowing that it even exists. I logged on just a few minutes ago and just was BAM! Blown away by the insane amount of nostalgia that hit me in the face!...

...And two, is there anyway I can get the original EQ interface? The really tacky one that looked like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWisI2lSc_A

That's how I remember playing, and I would give anything to play like that again.

Thanks,
Bashur

P.S. Thank you, so much, for doing this.
Same here, it was like finding that old Zelda game for your nes/snes and learning you have THREE EMPTY SAVES TO USE!? It was like a birthday the first time you finally get your character made and see someone other than you running around swinging at beetles and bats, with the old EC tunnel still alive and port services abound!

You -should- be able to enable that old ui through a command, I remember there being options for it during the switch on live.

Minecraft rocks, and totally bomb your fanbase, P99 is the sh!t, its real EQ, none of that sissy stuff they released later *coughpokcough*

I'm a pretty big Minecraft fan, although I'm pretty bored with it lately after playing so much for a year and a half. Minecraft and EverQuest are fairly similar in a way.

As long as people are spread out, I'm sure the server can hold 2-3 thousand. More new players would be a welcoming addition.

The closest we can get is a velious look-a-like, since the client we use is more modern than what was available back in the day. This is actually a good thing, however, as the actual classic client would have many problems running on today's computers due to advances in operating systems and etc.

I can't get the name Bashur for my character, is there anyway to make this possible or?
*new* characters may petition to get a name that is taken as long as it meets certain requirements on our end (the character in question hasn't logged in in a very long time and is low level. In your case, Bashur is a level 1 that hasn't logged in since April 20th 2010. I would have no problem granting you this name.

No, Knuckles was Kimmie's cat. RIP

Knuckle trolled everyone with the "the name Knuckle" thread and some (you) dumb b's fell for it. TAKE THAT [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I would like to add that this server is classic EQ without all the classic EQ bugs and exploits, lol.

Get to advertising again. People love free games.

I think a classes section would help new comers as well, along with giving people something else to do while they med/camp things (make class guides)
