Yeeeaaahhhh. I did the same about 2 years ago. Played for maybe a month and a half. The tank merc can just solo everything. It's dumb. I had a bit of fun running around zones that used to wreck me and soloing raid mobs, then got bored and came back to p99 to play a real game.

p99 is anything like the game was back in the day. The server needs to be reset.

It's certainly more like the past version than live is..

Also, it's not going to be reset. May as well just give up that pipe dream.

If your gonna try it out and fork over the money for a month may as well go do one of the TLPs.

pipe dream. I've never had one of those. I used to smoke a pipe but not the funny tobacco.

Live EQ is just straight boring. I agree, if you were gonna spend a months sub you should have checked out the TLPs. It's a different flavor than p99.

It's easier in a lot of aspects since a few game mechanics aren't bugged/not working correctly like p99, such as mage pets and AC.

The glaring issue between the two is there's really no sense of danger on the TLPs. If you die, You respawn with all your gear and groups are typically so easy to find you can recoup that exp quickly. So the only fear is losing your camp, and that's not a big deal either because the rules are "highest DPS wins the mob", so you can either take it back or lose it altogether regardless of a wipe anyway.

Live TLP servers are fun in their own way. P99 is fun it's own nostalgia filled way. I play both from time to time.

Better try EQ Reborn than live.

All this talk about raging hard ons and Swish's sandgina have got me all flustered.
