You can see those zones now, for free, on official servers.

But I do not know what they have in store for P99 after Velious. I was talking about it last night in-game, and I hope they tune Velious harder than on Live. Most people will be 60 by the time Velious comes out, so there will really only be raiding and rare item hunting to do. But its a fine balance between catering to the end-game minded 60s and the lower level player base. Either way, Velious should have enough content that raid tiers should really start popping up. That should help some of the issues with the end-game scene at the moment, but it also may not (depending on how greedy people at the top want to be).

It doesn't look like you can play eqmac on windows without some serious work. Is that correct?

I can't get that one to work right and I couldn't figure out where to correct all my game files - my spellfiles were all borked from p99 and a bunch of the creatures looked like tiny humans walking around.

Any resources you can suggest? I've actually wanted to build up a character on PEQ just to pre-emptively explore velious a bit.

I would say that you shouldn't play EQMac on anything other than Mac hardware. If you would like to try otherwise, that is your prerogative. Also note that Hobart (the EQMac dev) and SOE are actively working to disable the "serious work" that allows PC to connect to EQMac.

But the OP wasn't talking about hardware, he was talking about playing EQ through Luclin and PoP only, without all the other expansions afterwards, which is still officially possible!

Gotcha. I might actually find a slightly older mac on the cheap and do this anyhow.

make a NEW Titanium installation into a separate folder.
P99 installer fucks up too many T files to make it even remotely compatible with any other server.

I suspect that they will keep this server Classic up through Velious and a little after (but not up to Luclin), without changes from the classic formula.

However, If the devs maintain interest that long (remember there is still a lot of work to do for Velious), I also suspect that there will another server that will be classic Velious plus some amount of custom content and cherry picking from some of the best stuff that Luclin and beyond have to offer. For example, perhaps they'll implement a limited number of zones and connect them in a non-standard fashion. Emphasis would probably be on the raiding game.

I further imagine that you could choose to have one or more characters moved to this mutated server (not copied) but they could never go back again.

While I myself loved Space Cats: The Expansion (No sarcasm. Vah Shir female are sexy. Dem fucking hips man) I will say no..don't bring Luclin+ to P99. When I want my sexy Vah Shir I go to PEQ, where i have a lovely 65 kitty shaman waiting for me, or EQMac or perhaps the soon to be EQMac EQEmu server. I don't come to P99 for that. I come to P99 to make Luclin models work and cause analrage from the Classic Brigade. <3

the only word from Nilbog i heared regarding content after velious was some scripted encounters, such as a army of orcs invading freeport and such. Again he specified this was something he would like to see, not something that was going to happen. as far as i know velious will be where P99 ends. /sadface

Actually nilbog did hint at what mwatt was mentioning - a 2nd server that you could move your character over to which has luclin+ content.

He did not say it was going to happen, but he hinted at it that it was the most probable outcome.
