i probably check it out if it ever come out. problem though is that while they spent the last 7 years building a new emu from ground up, p99 has been refining database/mechanics/timeline which eqclassic still go ja hafta do when they finally finish the emu. will be neat though if they finish :3

"if"
I think he's missed his window of opportunity. By the time he gets it done no one will care.

Yea it is essentially pure classic, unlike Project 1999, which still has many more modern day, post trilogy features. I do believe many of these things are client based, but I imagine if they are using an older client, that likely means older server version as well.

I was one of the people that started on this server not long after it began, in the vanilla era, before Kunark was released. That was 7 years ago. They have slowly been making any change possible to make it as close to classic as they can, but it took them a long time. I think maps were still enabled initially on this server. The difference is EQC insist on attaining pure classic before release, whereas P99 just did a release and modified it to as close to classic as they could as the years went by.

This is laughably false. P99 is very far away from what eq was in velious - they have also made some very unclassic/made up mechanics here (fte shout, monk sneak, etc) and seem to be moving away from classic and more just what they want to see.

Strangest to me was letting the duck/cancel mechanic go unfixed on blue for years (it was in on red so totally could have been done quickly)...think it was only "classic" at a certain point in the Velious timeline. Still an otherwise great server and better than anything else out there.

If EQclassic launches properly and has anti-boxing code I'd play the shit out of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

this isnt coming out for a loonngggg time if at all, so it's mere conjecture at this point.

My forum name on eqclassic is hawkayalives. Looking at my posts, I found some things others posted. These're some of the things I read happened during classic:
1) raids would camp to the chat rooms and discuss strategy before logging back in
2) Corpses only had 24 hours to loot and could be looted by anyone after 10 minutes

True? I can't remember. I started on Rallos Zek I think March 21-24. I remember, strangely, spawning in Qeynos Hills near the Surefall Glade entrance. I do remember getting looted, but I think that was normal on PvP servers.

I believe this was only a thing on the PVP servers. However, if you gave /consent to someone to drag your corpse, it gave permission for someone to drag *and* loot your corpse. Was a unique way to trade no drop items for a short while.

It's vaporware...I wish it wasn't.

This will never happen, although I would love it to daybreak will NOT let this server come about.
