[Akillez]

on p2002 and loving it but Orruar = dick ? Dev work isnt easy and P99 does lots and lots of it, while you play for free. Maybe dont bite the hand that feed ya ?

This sounds like my dream server.

I just found this thread today and I will likely check it out tonight or if not def this weekend.

If One Box - Paladin
If Two Box - Monk/Shaman
If Three Box - Monk/Enchanter/Cleric

EXCITED!!!

Hit me up in game, I'm lowbie but I'll help you get the parts for your newbie armour!

You mean like when they spent time on removing the compass that absolutely nobody cared about and was actually halfway nice to have? I guess it's good they spent their time on that rather than getting Velious finished in less time than it takes to get a college degree.

Wasn't the compass gone before kunark?

No, that's actually not what I was referring to. But then again, I play here for free so what they do to the server that they put together is their own prerogative.

Most of the time here, different devs do different things. The coders typically don't work on zone content.

So your argument is not totally valid. There is no relation between removing the compass, and working on mob spawns for Velious zones. Done by totally different people actually. P99 has never been about just getting expansions out as fast as possible. We would rather take longer, and put out a quality product. If you don't like it, then go play on p2002. They want to release stuff asap too. They may even have velious out before p99.

Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Out of curiosiry, how come that the p2002 team is able to release the expansions so quickly? Do they already have the code? They are not needing to reverse engineer like you guys have done?

I'm with you and I prefer a slightly better interface than was available back in the day. It's the content that matters. I just think it's a little contradictory that they go for a more modern interface here while removing things like the compass. Either you go for classic or leave in the minor conveniences.

Also, lol at all the white knight ass kissers. Just because something is free doesn't mean you can't comment on its bad points.

Speaking of bad points, ALL your YouTube videos suck Jibeknn.

server code and classic data (like mob stats) are two different things. every server uses eqemu source code as their base, i'm sure p99 forked from it

p2002 got their info from PEQ (project EQ) which got all their data collects from EQ around 2004ish... and is sometimes updated with EQ Live info.

They also get a lot of info from TAKP which is another PoP server, however TAKP has eqMac data dumps which is a lot more accurate than PEQ. TAKP is taking the time to parse out the eqMac data and merge it with PEQ. So p2002 can either wait for TAKP to release content which they merge into their data or just use PEQ data and hope its accurate.

Had you left out the part about the devs wasting their time and the amount of time it takes them to complete content I dont think anyone would care. Saying you don't understand why they left multiple hotbars in and took the compass out is different than calling them out on what they spend their time working on.
