hard truths, this could be a utopia of everquest for years to come instead of the elephant graveyard of agoraphobics and hyper-casuals picking on bones around here

lawlz @ "hyper-casuals"

one day forum questers will realize that not playing a game until you grow roots in your chair is not an insult

one day

just not today

I don't know about you all but if that new server is rolled out, I'm going to sock that shit so hard my ass will literally grow in my chair. Nevermind the consequences in real life, friends, family or career. Who cares about that shit. I want manastones and guises.

Have holgresh elder beads not taught us anything?

Have the GMs considered adding the new content but without the Bazaar or PoK? I dont know much about EQ being a newbie but were many other game breaking thing added with the expansions?

[dbouya]

if discord rules can get programmed they should keep that server fresh for a long long time. so what if you finish the content? there'll be factional warfare to participate in for a decade to come.

presumably though getting this coded is a challenge and might never actually get finished though.

luclin basically rendered the entire rest of the game irrelevant.
so yeah, it's not just about bazaar and pok really.
it's about things like mass group buffs, OP leveling zones etc

Ah makes sense. I know there was word of the possibility for custom content. Didn't know if this would be a good way to add in new content without changing the classic spirit. I guess the problem with all mmos is when you add new content it makes much of the old stuff irrelevant.

when is PoP being released? I haerd 2021

[skarlorn]

Let's get a new server

[stormlord]

Some of you are forgetting even when Luclin was live there were still guilds raiding Kael and Temple of Veeshan and Veeshan's Peak and so on. They were doing that even when Planes of Power released--and after. It's remarkably different today. Almost nobody is raiding older zones on live. You greatly underestimate the relevance of several expansions worth of content for mid to high levels--back when they could afford that. This is why Project 1999 is experiencing problems with its top heavy population and lack of content, especially for raiding.

Here it's again:
The Ruins of Kunark (up thru 60) (Mar 1999--I joined on the 21st)
The Scars of Velious (up thru 60)
The Shadows of Luclin (up thru 60 with AA addition)
The Planes of Power (up thru 65)
The Legacy of Ykesha (up thru 65)
Lost Dungeons of Norrath (up thru 65)
Gates of Discord (up thru 65)
Omens of War (up thru 70)
Dragons of Norrath (up thru 70)
Depths of Darkhallow (up thru 70) (Mid to Late 2005)

I support another server for this reason alone. This server has had over 6 years to build up its top heaviness.

I have no interest in playing on p1999 myself. I'm done with EQ. Take it for what it's worth.

EDIT: I played over many years on live. I remember when Luclin released. Everybody was excited about the extra polygons and the luclin models. I recall going to the noob area in Luclin and my framerate dropped to nothing. And then I noticed the monsters were hitting me like trucks. I said NO WAY and went back to killing in blackburrow for leveling. I barely played in Luclin until after hot zones. Yes, I tried Paladul Caverns once or twice. The experience was good and it was immediately adjacent to the Bazaar. And being near the Nexus meant you had portal access to a large chunk of the rest of the game. But it was almost always full, so I stopped going there.

What I'm saying is the expansions did obsolete prior content, but not completely. Back then the game hit a good balance. My opinion is affected by the newer versions of EQ. The newer game was much worse. Older content may as well not exist.
