quarm is alive and somewhat well. the server admin refuses to release kunark early so for the past 3 months like 70% of people are just raid logging.

Isn't that what people do on servers with instanced raiding?

no luclin sucks.

the bazaar sucks and mooncats suck and the whole goofy space fantasy orgy is terrible and bad and only terrible bad people like it.

custom content would be cool, but requires a massive time investment by volunteer devs. But so does adding luclin.

add the pop zones that make sense lore-wise, velious added mischief and growth, the logical next expansion should have been pop anyway. Just remove pok and tune the encounters not to need any luclin gear to beat, boom done.

Yeah, cause it's needed. Luclin is long overdue on these servers.

[Ciderpress]

I think people assume adding luclin to p99 is more or less the same thing as sony turning on the next expansion on a tlp. Big noper on that.

[Ciderpress]

Ok well you code it

[Fumoo112]

You could probably release Lucin and just leave the Bazaar out honestly. And act like coding isnt turning into a AI job. Soon most coders will be out of jobs. Nvida is even projecting coding jobs to go obsolete.

In a year, P99 will die, Quarm will take over.

Cyas in a year then?

Go to eqemulator and check forum (and discord) and search for "making my own server", refine search terms to "I wanna make it stop at <insert expansion>" do I just enable expansion number in server_rules?
Short answer: Yes! But it will use all current server code. Combat, saves, pet power etc. Enjoy.

Long answer: Nope! followed by 50,000 extra steps requiring c++, mysql and perl/lua coding skillz.

<highschool_coder> pipes in with takp has released the DB! Should be easy blah blah. They will be shot down by the 3 or 4 actual coders that frequent the forums pointing out there are thousands of changes needed to bring a server up to era correctness.

So, go do it and see ya never.

Blue should be dead by now w/ this logic. Yet still sees highs of 700-800 players some nights.
