I like how you make assumptions like they're fact.

You wanna know what will happen at Velious? You don't know.. neither do I, so stop creating bullshit and play the game.

If this server goes off the, "classic," trail, Which it won't, then half its population would be gone. If your crazy ass assumptions actually fall threw then a server boot after a year or two of velious would suffice.. BETTER would be is if the server dies, it dies.. if no one wants to play classic EQ anymore, then leave the game.

The issue with the live version was it catered to the masses, they all wanted new content so they gave them new content and left the old, better, content in the dust. Like I said before, if you want something to keep everyone happy then do GM or Guild events, if you really are that bored of the game you honestly shouldn't play it.

The issue with live was NOT new content. It was the way they added new content. Such as Bazaar, Nexus ports, PoK, etc. Most of the stuff in Luclin and PoP was enjoyed by all it was the dumbing down of the game that pissed everyone off in the end.

The solution to this problem is so simple I don't even know why we have to continue discussing it:

1. Update Project 1999 to Scars of Velious and stop (aka stick to the plan).
2. Start a *new* server that keeps the same hardcore mechanics, but continues to add new expansion content.

Done.
Everybody's happy.
End of story.

No. The plan is to not lose characters and keep P1999 what it's supposed to be. A classic server.

Classic is up to Velious by community terms. It's when EQ was in its peak. Luclin is not considered classic and will not be included in our server. What happens with a lack of content? Well, there's plenty of other servers in the community that offer higher levels of content, and if you wanted to play them, then you should be playing them instead of playing here. I'd like to see people happy, and if this isn't the type of game you like, then it's not the game you should be playing. To keep playing something you don't like is sadistic in a way.

its not that it is not liked.. it just seems... pointless i guess, to just let the population stagnate due to old content and nothing for anyone to do.

i wanna stay out of this convo as its pretty silly to discuss something so long away :P

Its not just the raiding population. Its everyone. Even casual players will get bored of grouping in Velks Lab, or leveling that 27th alt to 60.

Secrets I understand what your saying but unfortunatly your wrong there are no servers currently with enough population that go up until PoP. P99 and PEQ are the only two servers that mimic what live EQ was and that have enough population to play on.

Didn't they add a class balance patch before AA's came out. Here is how my fuzzy memory has it. For a very long time before SOE bought EQ they would always say they could not balance any classes because it was hard wired into the code. After Sony took over they rebalanced the classes from their original settings. This is when Rogues became more useful. I don't know which setting Project1999 runs though. Is it pre-patched classes before they fixed things like original out of the box EQ or is it post SOE? Paladins especially were shockingly weak. I remember those patches came in waves. Like they fixed rangers one time, then wizards the next and so on.
