I have played on TAKP and tried Quarm. I didn't like TAKP. Quarm? Uh well....

I like the idea of Quarm, EQ up to PoP, and tried it for a few hours, but the mouse controls/view perspectives kill it for me. Third person perspective is abysmal and wonky at best; it's unpleasant to me. People who are used to first person shooter perspective won't care. I do. I don't play FPSs and don't like them. The perspective is one of the biggest reasons. Premise is another.

It's about immersion in the world for me and third person gives me that. It's about situational awareness in the world and third person gives me that. It's also a problem that is a me problem. In dungeons, tight and twisting 3D generated terrain and some other circumstances with graphics, first person perspective make me physically sick. I mean complete with throwing up and all if I don't stop immediately and take an hour or so to lie down and quell it. I do not experience this will third person view, except I did on Quarm because of the wonkiness of the mouse controls/viewing perspective.

All that said, I would really like to see a version of EQ based on the Windows client that goes up to PoP or maybe just Luclin. I don't know, the Phlarg Fiends in Paludal Caverns just cracked me up. What in the heck even is a Phlarg? ����

Your disinterest in a first person perspective is concerning. You clearly associate it with violence ("first person shooter" is your term) and that you do not find it gives you "situational awareness." Disorientation, unsteady gait.

Ego dysphoria is defined, in the DSM, as an unwillingess or discomfort, in assuming the first person voice, especially in the present tense. Such people can *recall* first person experiences but will slip into the classic "robot voice from The Shining" if you ask them to describe their "first person" in the present.

[uses finger to talk] Do you hear me? Is this bad?

can ye just imagine. launch red99 2.0, launch green99 2.0 at same time.


Both servers would thrive.
It is a good idea for Project1999 but it wouldn't be good for the players. At some point another project needs to take over that is better. P99 kind of sucks. The client is garbage, the rules suck, the stagnant velious for a decade is garbage. All the other servers need is a player base, might as well let this place just die off.

Wrong, gotta love people that don't play EQ emu or p99 that make suggestions to anything related to the game

P99 is amazing

Sorry you didn't get warder loot, or lvl past 49

Try red?

In one post you accuse someone of not playing EQ Emu, not playing P99, playing p99 but not raiding warders, and playing but not getting over level 49. Your autism is showing.

I poked around and found Quarm is little more than TAKP with a single box rule and remapping the camera follow view to the scroll wheel.

Like you dipshits are excited to be playing Quarm when the exact same view was available on TAKP for 8 years.
