Phinny opens tomorrow

Instances killed this for me, oh and also the inevitability of it going past PoP/LoY/GoD. No bueno.

I could see playing on a server that went to PoP but stopped there. That's where I got into the game and never really cared for any of the following expansions.

I do miss the books now and then.

Why do instances make it worse? I remember in <Lost in Progression> on Trakanon server, we had a guy troll us by killing our desired classic/Kunark/Velious/Luclin/PoP targets with his level 100 mage. It would have been cool if we could just raid whatever we wanted in an instanced zone without worrying about whether others would kill it first. Curious to hear what the drawback is.

the premium all access server is due to open Wednesday Dec 9, 2015 @ 2pm pst / 5pm est / 10pm gmt.
As with the other two new servers (practise to confirm that that 3rd and 4th try they could go back to an orig eq game) population will be heavy for the first month or two, character select access que (sometimes) took TWO hours, and we waited in the old eq chat room... No chat devs were there, and the *urds often spamed chat (mouse click their name in the lower right name panel and select ignore to block their spam and again be able to have legit dialogue.)

After Rage server opened the PAYING subscribers pleaded with dbg (DayBreakGames--Columbus Nova) to open another server as so many tried to get in, one was literally a few THOUSAND down in que for a entry slot! Instead dbg did everything they could EXCEPT open another server... cap server pop, force que for access, kick afk people (a month later) that after finally getting in -- leaving that char afk untill they decided they had time to actually play the game.

After a few months those too cheap to buy longer subscription.. there was no wait to get into the server.
Starter zones the first week will have 100+ lvl 1-5 ksin (KillStealing) each other.

In the patcher/options one can disable new character models and go back to the old orig eq (99.03.16) char models (256b models was not till Luclin the 3rd expansion [01.12.04].) They did however have shared bank slots (Ykesha 5th expansion [03.02.25], but no frog chars, and beastlord is not till Luclin.)

I would be ok with going to Luclin and not beyond; but only if they got rid of the nexus scions.

The classic art on P99 is appreciated. I wouldn't go so far as to say P99 actually replicates a classic experience though, rather just a recreation of classic mechanics. For me, a classic experience isn't possible to recreate. Instead I'm just looking for enjoyable classic content. I like some of what the new progression server offers, so I'll be trying it. I don't plan to play much past PoP, but that should last me 18 months at least and then there will be something new to try anyways.

[Evia]

Ill be trying this out. I doubt I'll stay for long but I talked my brother into making a character with me so we'll see what happens.


I am making a ranger and he wants to do a wizard. not exactly an ideal duo setup but whatever, we'll make it work.

[Spyder73]

I initially hated the idea of starting over, but I might make a char and see how it goes.

Can maybe play that while "raiding" here on P99 - IE sitting camped out in ToV for hours playing some other game waiting for someone to scream in vent POP POP POP POP

[Lunababy]

If I wanted to play a modern MMO I'd be on WoW. I'm on p99 for few very specific reasons, and convenience, experience bonuses, and bots are not among them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sounds terrible and disgusting.

An insult to the things which make EQ great.
