Seriously people.

If you want cats and PoP there is an OFFICIAL, FREE SERVER.

Protip, you can run EQMac on your PC. That, or buy a capable Mac for like $100.

EQMAC is also a boxing heaven, you have about 100-250 people on at a time and almost every does a 2-3 box so do the math. Well unless like the whole boxing and playing alone thing that is.

This server's core philosophy is to recreate and preserve the EQ classic experience.
I agree!

Already level 4 here, so I have the right to speak...

Was it fun when Velious had arrived to spend a whole evening trying to get on the boat and wait 30 minutes for it? No. Was it fun to arrive there on a pvp server, slip past the enemies and get killed by some random druid? No. Was it fun to end the evening, and the next evening trying to get my corpse back, getting corpse camped forcing me to log off again? No. But did those aspects drag me to this server, even on blue? Yes.

Partly the bad things about Everquest classic is why we come to this server I guess. The rough and unforgiving parts about the game created a community which just was amazing.

I spent about two weeks trying to learn how to solo in Plane of Growth, lost two levels, simply because I was curious, and because in theory I could solo the mob which dropped a warrior breastplate for a guildy from Da Bashin' Iggles. Still took a half a week to get it for him when I finally understood how to succeed there. And what did my friends do for me? Skip sleep if needed if they could help me with an important item/quest/etc.

I disagree with people advocating making it easier for players by implementing things that seem fine, make it more fun and easier, but isn't that the Sony mindset?

Let's recover from death with all spells still memorized? With all gear still on? Let's allow maps since people who wants maps can still use a second screen?

The reason I play here is because this IS classic EQ, and that draws me to it. And probably many others. I don't look forward to making things easier and more comfortable, Sony tried that and turned it into a boring game worse than any other MMO out there.

*edit* I played Everquest live for a few months and even paid for it. Got a cleric up to max level within a month, tried to play a bard but all good things about them got changed, like not being able to start to start charm before charm wore off, to protect people from wasting mana, but they were bloody overpowered pullers. Monks were an urban legend, haven't seen a single one. Every player had all stats maxed, even a warrior had CHA maxed.

Pong is more fun than Everquest live atm. Or any mass market MMO. */edit*

The thing with EQMAC is that it is already done. I mean there is nothing "new" that will be added. One of the nice things about here is that there is something to look forward to which is velious. I'm sure people would be much more likely not to start playing here if velious was out and completely done with rather then where it is now.

Truth. I'll even go as far to say some people never bothered to jump in because its already so far into Kunark. Many people wanted CLASSIC no expansions, and if they came too late they missed it here.

EQMAC = tiny community.

That's why I would actually like this server to recreate Luclin. It won't happen, I know, but I still would prefer it. I'll go on record and say releasing Luclin in the distant future after Velious is long completed won't harm p99's numbers at all.

Same but it doesn't matter.

It's what the staff once. That said its also their prerogative to change their minds 2 years after Velious is released.
