....But what about the fucking lexicon?

However, only time will tell for sure. I'm sure the creators of P99 were in the same boat at one point.

There is enough interest in velious "classic" eq for 2 servers imo.
P99 isn't completely classic or will it be.. hence the term emulate. They strive to be classic but it's not going to be completely attainable. To be fair though, the sleeper server won't be completely classic either. I think it will be a little less classic in some aspects but a little more classic in other aspects. P99 would be more classic because the sleeper is going to do Hot Zones. The sleeper would be more classic because of stuff like say the enchanter exp pet nerf. It won't be in the game, but it is on P99. The enchanter pet exp nerf was a Planes of Power fix. There are many other differences that it would take forever to list them all. Needless to say, the two servers won't be the same and I consider them both a different take on classic eq, neither being fully classic. They do seem to be more open to changing stuff in classic that would be considered a fix .. ie something like "well a monster was stuck in a wall in classic and had retarded pathing, so it should remain as such until the appropriate patch in the time line occurred." The sleeper will have the benefit of past experience though, ie nobody will be able to exploit the plat creation bug to sink the game economy. The sleeper is going to be fun when it opens (who doesn't like new servers, heck I think P99 could more than double its pop if they ran a second blue server).. but the dark horse in the "classic" eq race will be the EQClassic project that everybody seems to forget. Sure its been in development for years and some probably consider it vaporware, but its making progress and Its getting done and there updates and new code written each week. (last I checked their progress bar thing it looked about done). It's actually cracking the packets of classic data and reverse engineering it, as opposed to every other emulated server that is just modifying a version of eq to make it classic-ish. My hope is the two servers don't try to become the same exact thing.. they need to differentiate themselves. and the plans for the sleeper to go to luclin after a server vote / waiting period seems to already make them different enough to justify its existence to me. P99 would be cool if after velious is all out.. they release side-grade armor / weapons with custom classic-ish content. While the sleeper moves on to luclin. | ||

Unfortunately, you're right. No server will ever match up to the real EQ classic. And a LOT of that is because it's 2012 now, and many of us are here for the nostalgia. Much of the magic from EQ classic has left us as we've grown up, no matter what age we started playing. Raiding Kael for me at age 23 will never be like raiding Kael was at 12, and killing crocs on P99 wasn't like how it was when I was 10 either. EpicEmu is starting in Velious to appeal to those who miss oldschool Velious. You can visit in in present day EQ and in other emulated servers, but its hard to find a similar classic version. Because P99 already offered Classic and Kunark, I believe EpicEmu just wanted to do something different. They don't mean to be malicious and take over so much as just offer something old, but new that may spark interest in some people. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How can I help the server?
Play the beta, report bugs, donate, and learn how to build your own EQ server. The EpicEmu team will be releasing a guide and open source effort in 2012 on how to operate and modify your own EQ server on the EpicEmu login server, including scripts to help you create your own classic EverQuest experience. better than rogeans nazi ass shit | ||

If he wants to make his own server, more power to him. Gotta give him respect. If he wants to make it non-Classic, who cares?
But advertising another server on P99's boards is as stupid as advertising Red on Blue's server chat (or advertising EQMac here for that matter). The EQEmu forums has a board designed for advertising. Should totally keep it there.

It's off topic forum right? Relax then people. The everquest community is small enough, we shouldn't be trashing others because they choose other servers.
