When I was still wowin it, I was keeping an eye on EQC. My issue was, I was jonesin for some actual gameplay, not fucking videos of the devs running around every zone. They are moving incredibly slow (5 or 6 years now) too.

I'll admit, I was slightly put off by all the eqemu downtime and the ddos stuffs initially. But after that, this server has been running wonderfully. I told a handful of people about how great it was over here and most have given up on eqc.

Props to them for trying to do what they're doing, but I don't forsee them up and running for at least two years if at all. They have a ton of issues to sort out (like who's hosting the server and how they're gonna pay for it... lul).

I think they're going to have more problems than they expect using such an old client. Incompatibility with newer hardware, operating systems, graphics, etc.. It's going to be a shitfest.

Talk about Nazi..

Gives me a good idea of what their GM behavior will be like.

I thought this the first time I read their website.

Im no psychologist, but that annoucement post has scarier vibes than me handling a raid dispute on a Sunday.

The fact that they are not even willing to collaborate or accept advice from/with others who have done the footwork is beyond ignorant. They are reinventing the wheel from what I gleaned in that post. p99 has succeeded where that project will fail. (or at least take so long to complete that nobody will be interested anymore and move on to greener p99 pastures)

ya they are crazy bunch. forums are super moderated. pretty sure if you even type the world everquest it gets changed to "the game"

Only good thing i got out of that forum was someone making a post about P99 and me seeing if before it got deleted and getting to discover this project. I didnt even know about eq emu and this project before that post.

no one has done what they are trying to do so who do you suppose they would collaborate with?

I tried to offer my help to them even before I started project1999.

They were unwilling to accept my suggestions.

It's cool.

what exactly are they doing thats different from p99? i know our ui isnt 100% classic and theres some differences in mechanics but i dont understand whats so fundamentally different with what theyre doing that after 6 years they have nothing to show for their work while p99 is thriving.

They're trying to recreate the game exactly as it was... UI and all. It will only support up to the original Trilogy client.

These emus are more akin to reverse-engineering the current game and making an approximation of what things were like.
