Introducing Project 1999: Green

[Rang]

<True Guk Scum> is recruiting! Our goal will be circumventing lists and having OOC and RNF meltdowns on a regular frequency! /s

Thanks devs and project owners for an exciting new nerd playground that I'm sure will bring forth many a salty nerd tear.

Very boring server then and not classic. Camps were decided by DPS the first year of Everquest, not lists.

I'm pretty sure what wasn't classic was 2000 people vying to obtain 2 items from a game they didn't even know existed yet. Let alone a version of it that would be non-profit managed by a team of volunteers without the overhead to deal with 2000 petitions.

Lists are way for the devs to passively manage what would otherwise be a disaster, not to make you feel better about your stupid idea of the world.

That's going to exist regardless, unless the game code is changed, in such a way as to create a game that's trying to be "what Everquest was originally envisioned as", instead of just copying a 20+ year old code that wasn't sophisticated enough to properly express the intention of the game designers.

No it isn't. If the rule was DPS wins and "kill stealing doesn't exist", then it would already be managed exactly by that. People who want to compete for something can do it, exactly as it was in classic. People who find that method unsatisfying can choose to do nice camps only and exclude the players from their groups who are "kill stealers".

Development will not stop for Green and Blue.

LOL!!! Good thing it's another PVE server...exactly...like...blue. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Any official thoughts on the other server? You know, the red-headed stepchild that you all are ashamed of.

Amazing how time after time of what the staff does with volunteering time with nothing in return you nerds find something to bitch and cry about.

Thank you staff for what you do.

Whoever posted you can't recapture the wonder of 1999 EQ is just flat wrong. I was there day 1 live and stayed up hours after my friends all crashed just fishing in Surefall Glade. Everything about the immersive nature of EQ was so amazing.

I came to p99 recently and saw a Dragon spawn I had never even seen back on live. The sheer size and depth of the content mean there are countless new things to discover. If you put aside the mad dash to get level 60 and XYZ item, it has limitless entertainment value.

Somekid123 is spot on, the babies crying they aren't getting XYZ item are spoiled brats throwing their toys from the pram for attention. Meh. Really ?

Nice job guys, looking forward to playing on green!

I've since returned to live EQ, but wanted to pop in and congratulate the staff here. I started on P99 shortly after it opened and spent many wonderful years here before I decided to move on. The team that is behind this project truly is top notch. I'm happy that this day will finally come [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There will be over 2000 players at launch. If you don't believe this. You're in denial.
Regular Blue Players
Old Players Returning
Tourists


Won't be shocked in day 1 hits 3k. Velious launch it self was 2k+ Now we're talking a whole new fresh server.
None of which will be above level 1 at launch, expect 400-600+ people in certain noob zones.

It's going to be spicy.
No leashing in classic. CHOO CHOO all aboard the petition express

12,000 views of this thread within 7 hours of submission and there are still people who don't think it will hit 3k population at launch. Lol.

I fear these posters may be right. Cazic Thule help us all.
