You mean the random guesses from the person I quoted?

The cleric in that video was god awful. His whole group should have been dead 30 seconds into the video. I'm surprised he knew to jboots.

And that was a top guild.

Yeah alot of us, myself included have pissed and moaned about "not classic whatevers".

Real fact of the matter is that nobody knows to an exacting standard what "classic" was anymore. alot of code was lost/destroyed/sabotaged over the various hand-offs from verant to sony to daybreak.

Rumor has it that TAKP is the next best thing to actually being a "classic" server, because someone walked out of the building with that code on a disk, because they were pissed off that verant ignored and later abandoned the Mac server. So if thats true, it really is the most classic server in existence.

After all the whining and complaining about this and that, alot of us forget to ask the only question that matters:

Do you have fun and enjoy playing EQ on P99? Yes, we all do, or we wouldn't be here complaining about it.

Patently false. People do shit all the time they don't enjoy because they're addicted. Go look up the sunk cost fallacy. That explains the vast majority of people that play on p99.

Oh come on. That is so sad. We’re here to play a game. It’s fun! If you feel this way I advise you to make yourself busy with other pursuits.

Played both p99 and takp. Both servers the mobs are tuned about the same. So this thread is hilarious to read.

I haven't say for example, compared the hit damage of 'a froglok krup knight' against the same exact level/class/geared toons on both servers simultaneously, but my starting experience on TAKP was definitely a feeling of, "Things are a little bit easier" This is before AAs, or bazaar gear.

Now, xp definitely IS buffed on TAKP (they did that on purpose), thats not what im talking about.

I mean the starting from scratch experience on either server. P99 seems to be more unforgiving when you've got nothing but a few pieces of leather, a rusty halberd or tarnished shan`tok.

Again, i think this is a good thing. All of us know exactly what to do and when to do it in this content, so buffed mobs will slow us down a good bit and make us have to try harder to progress though the limited content.

There has to be verant server code out there somewhere. It is too far fetched to think that it simply is non existent.

We should do a kickstarter to hire gruff mcgruff the crime dog to find original EQ server code.

At this point I've "played" p99 longer than I have played live, or at least been semi engaged with the p99 world. EQ died for me around LDON that is only 4 years into EQ timeline.

So being era correct for project 1999 is almost good enough. Which is realer the 4 years of real EQ or the 15 years of emulated real EQ on p99?

Dreaming of a p99 vanilla locked server red or blue.
