How do i get my Brother to play Project1999 with me?

[Ektar]

what's with the weird line breaks?

and if he considers himself having "moved onto better games" he probably isn't suited for p99.

but yeah if you insist on trying (cuz not like I'm out to deter you), the above is probably the best way to go. alcohol and/or nostalgia to get him to try it out, then it's all gonna rest on if he sticks with it or not.

[Eyeke]

offer your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/own behind for his pleasure.

otherwise.. if he's a WoW guy.. he's probably not build for p99

if he comes back let me know. I'll throw him some pp to get him going.

Threaten him or something he loves.

I kind of feel bad for your brother. There really isn't a harder or deeper mmorpg in existence. Trust me, I've played pretty much all of them... this is kind of what I do. EMUs are where the very best gamers in the entire world are congregating now, and there will be legends made here.

There are a few elements that Everquest is missing, such as unconsentual pvp and a true skill-based leveling system (such as evidenced in Darkfall or Oblivion), both of which I feel add a massive amount of excitement and playability... however, the unparalleled depth of Everquest more than makes up for the lack of these two mechanics.

And WoW is just Everquest for Complete Idiots. I don't really consider people who play WoW to actually be gamers. They are more potential gamers who badly need to be awakened.

I personally think WoW's pvp was exceptional compared to EQ's pvp. Can't blame someone for wanting some pvp with a smidgen of balance and quality.

Also, I find it funny that we get on our high horses and praise our beloved EQ when we are playing an emulation of EQ that follows a very, very short span of Everquest's runtime. Everquest itself turned into "Everquest for idiots" otherwise you'd be playing live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Having played an enormous amount of self-described 'pvp' mmorpgs, and even most normal rpgs pvp aspects, I totally disagree with you.

Everquest pvp was very dynamic and personal. There were heroes and leaders in every single class, people who were known to be absolutely deadly with rogues or beastlords, and everywhere in between, that wouldn't be normally intuitive.

The harsh death penalty (which many of these games ignore) was an immense motivator for the survival role at which many people excel but are not rewarded for in many games, not to mention pure excitement at every turn.

After Shadowbane, Darkfall, EVE, Everquest, SWG, Anarchy Online, PotBS, UO, WoW, in no particular order, and among others... I'd have to say a disproportionately large number of my most vivid memories are from Everquest pvp. Sullon Zek was like... Afghanistan meets the Gaza Strip on a bad day.

Those were the days of our lives.

You sound like Uncle Rico reminiscing about the glory days of high school football. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A fair amount of people could prattle off a list similar to yours and not everyone would agree on which of those had the best pvp, especially when nostalgia kicks in. There are just too many variables (most of which don't even have anything to do with the game, but the community you happen to be surrounded by) for everyone to have the same experience. Guess I was talking from a game mechanic standpoint. Vivid memories from rose colored glasses, while certainly enjoyable, are not an accurate measure of reality.
