To be fair, the startup guide used to link to a torrent which contained the titanium client. Depending on the jurisdiction that could be illegal. However, it was removed, so I think that at least demonstrates something.

Just posting here in case Sony uses this page in their lawsuit, I want to see my name.

Kimmie and Nalkin were here.

I was gonna post a big response but then I realized there was no reason.

Then Rogean responded better than I could anyway.


Huey is clearly bitter about not having things his way. Good riddance to bad rubbish?

This is kind of a ridiculous statement Hobby.

P99 is great, and you guys who have put so much work into have done an amazing job. However, as Rogean pointed out, P99's goal is to recreate a classic experience, where as Sony and their staff really don't care about an authentic classic experience. The goals of the two projects are completely different.

I have had a blast on P99 and hope to continue doing so in the future, but I also think that the Fippy server offers the prospect of some really fun gaming, so I will "flock" to it; however, I think the implication of your post is a bit silly (implication being that we're some how ignorant or foolish as we are aware the server will suck, yet still choose to play there).

I honestly think comparing P99 to Fippy is like comparing apples to oranges - they're both fruit (recreations of Everquest), but while one is a delicious citrus snack (P99), the other a day keeps doctors away (Fippy).

Seems to me that there is just some insecurity on the part of hard-core 99'ers about anyone playing on fippy. the more insecure have already starting saying things like you would have to be an idiot to play there or you are a traitor if you play there, etc.

as noted, the purpose of the projects is totally different. one does not directly compete with the other, except in the sense that if someone logs in on one they aren't logging in on the other at the same time most likely.

the p99 devs have said numerous times in the last year that the players here don't matter to their project, and that they would be doing what they are doing if the population on p99 were only 50 players...so all the hate from the insecure about sony stealing your population is not really a threat, even it were to happen (which it prob won't because, again, the projects are totally different).

I will be playing on both servers. I don't share the popular hatred of the so-called "$OE" and have no problem plunking down $30/month for a couple accounts. If it is "stupid" to spend a dollar a day to have fun and play EQ on live then I guess I'm an idiot.

So much hate.

Anyone who has not played on a true classic server (ie: this one, or live circa 1999-2001) is not going to really mind the way Sony does this progression server.

It's mainly people like us who know what can truly be done to relive the classic experience who will be massively jaded by the way it's run.

Just my opinion.

Totally agree there Guinea Pig.

Those of us who loved the sadistic approach back in the day will be tsk tsk'ing at stuff they've invariably missed.

No it's not Classic, but it's about as close as they're likely/willing to get.
I for one will enjoy it for the year or however long it can be sustained.

[fugazi]

True classic EQ:
-Noobs flocking together around an individual who invested his starting skillpoints in tailoring. Noobs rejoice when patchwork emerges from the tailoring kit!
-Killstealing of decaying skeletons wearing staffs. It could be the much coveted cracked staff!
-Places where easy low level magic weapons can be acquired will be camped to dead. Hi Minotaurs!
-Noob casters grouping up because they can't afford their spells yet and thus need backup.
-Lots of people grouping up with people they don't know, instead of sticking to their predetermined /friends list.

How much of this will we see on this Fippy server? I'm afraid we'll see none of it. The grouping might happen, but since everyone will already know the game ..

And hail Rogean for laying the smack down on that blasphemous individual.

Bad rubbish I haven't played on P1999 in 6 months. You got rid of me " the rubbish" a long time ago. You are the one that laughed as your guild trained innocent people ...

You are bitter that you'll have less of an audience to show off your elite items too. example the dagger you have.

Want me to beat you and your guild to lvl 50 again : ) hahaha And rez you while we leveled.... skill , I have more than you.

Like I said this server has many positives. Bringing back classic eq is awesome like P1999 did. It's choices and lack of correcting pathing etc. etc. is what hurts it. Besides all the Corrupt people and poop socking. The my guild is all that matters everyone else is shit attitudes.

W/e Otto You mad brah : ) people are gonna flock to the progression server for a year or 2 , but don't worry they will return to P1999 shortly after Fippy gets to POP.

Gotta go to work , unlike most the people here. Finawin is the biggest liar lol , he's gonna play on fippy , but he bad mouths it.

Both servers are good and bad in their own ways.


Tera Online ! is going to be the best Mmorpg for a long time. True action mmo!
Rift is ok, I like it. I can run it on a 5 year old pc without lag. I was impressed by that.

Still EQ classic is the best game and holds a place in my heart.
