Fires of Heaven / Venerate plan to move to Agnarr and combine into a single entity <Flames of Reverence>

Foh/Ven will continue on P99 but I don't know in what capacity or if there is a plan.

Actually I think FoH has stated their flat out done with P99.

When?

12 weeks of original + (12 weeks * 6 expansions (Kunark, Velious, Luclin, PoP, Yeksha, LDoN)) = 84 weeks = A little over 1.6 years before people begin to cry about the server being locked at LDoN.

Interestingly, TunnelQuest ends after 48 weeks when the Bazaar opens.

Nobody was crying on the eqmac server that it was PoP locked. Only when it went down. Apparently someone at Daybreak got their head out of their ass and realized it was going to make them a lot of money releasing a PoP locked server. Because let's face it, it's no secret that's the only thing they really care about. The server will have a healthy population and do well. Some p99 guilds sick of the raid scene will migrate over and most likely the majority of Phinny will start over on Agnarr.

Except the problem with Ag vs old EQ Mac is that Ag is going to have all the "QoL" improvements that EQ has now, that all the classic lovers hate. Loot windows, maps in every zone, updated pets/ monk dps tables, etc etc. Old EQ Mac didn't need the buffs to bosses to make them balanced. I bet people will zerg through Ag as quickly as they did Phinny and get bored of it. Unless Daybreak can put out a legit, as close to classic as possible server, I don't think it will have the staying power or community EQ Mac did.

I'm not arguing that it's for the purists, or the mac cult like followers. Everquest is never going to be replicated exactly as it was originally experienced. That's an unrealistic pipe dream. You're living in p99 if you want that. But, this is probably as close as people are going to get to a solid PoP locked server and allow DBG to make their $$$. It's the best option people have at this point if they want a PoP locked server.

We'll see soon enough. Then we can revisit our posts and see who was right.
