Why I think p99 is actually pretty important

[Triangle]

The OP has a very good point. If people wonder why Nilbog creates this server for us and puts up with our shit its because he doesn't. His sole purpose is to create an accurate rendition of original EQ, and we basically bug test the server for him.

By the way, for anyone who wanted to read more bard shenanigans, I have just finished listing my old EQChronicles on a new site here. They start off slowly because it was just something I did for fun on a games site we used to run, and it grew in the telling.

I'm still having trouble with Tumblr's RSS feed being hard limited to 20 returns, so the content list on the side is incomplete.

Excellent read.
P99 is important for the gaming industry because it represents a remedy to MMO's sickness. Classic EQ should be a model for next blockbusters, even if there were some flaws in the design, the most important was : incredible lore, unforgivable world, and great group dynamics.

I think p99 needs to figure out how to hook up with archive.org. That site has warehoused somepretty fantastic stuff now for years.

It is like the Smithsonian on the internet, imho. And, if I can pat the folks who make p99 happen on the back a bit here, p99 qualifies as something worth archiving.

Not sure how you archive an ongoing "file" but ya know, just to point out my view. This is, in fact, "of historical interest" by this point. These worlds just aren't being made anymore.

I bookmarked your link. Been there. Great stuff.

Pretty stoked for Camelot Unchained, btw. DAoC is my 2nd favorite game ever after EQ. You just had to get past the mind numbing PvE. It is GOOD news that it will be all RvR. When they revamped the battleground system in DAoC you could level up from 1 to 50, all in RvR and it was awesome.

"No competition for PvP crown"? Huh? That's a very boneheaded EQ way of looking at a very different game. Not every game needs to be Barbies for Guys.

Thank you tolkien .
you bring me some memorys.

A dude playing a half elf paladin in freeport wich took just 3 days to zone to ec, and find his first death as level 5 when he zoned to a zone named nektulos forest and found himself atatcked by mysterius soldiers wich didint attack the dark elfs.

the very first time i found a hole in a wall wich lead me to discover befallen ,and zone out and being killed by the dark elf roaming outside (that many deaths made me harvest a total hate for dark elfs).

gettin to oasis and watching the tower in the island with that fire and specters floatin around, and asking myself what will be there.

the simple adventure wich was travell to sebilis, and the horror to be traped inside howling stones for hours with the fear to be killed and lost everything.

the very first time i saw the white plains snow covered lands of velious and the sigh of many dragons running wild in western wastes.

the jump to luclin and and the infamous invis bridge.....


memorys memorys.

So what's the take on Elder Scrolls Online in comparison to everything else coming out/already out?
