Expansions after Velious on P1999

EQ became raid-obsessed with Velious and LoY is post-PoP! You know, PoP, the expansion in which the single-group content was aimed at raid geared players.

And this is exactly why LoY was so poorly received: it added classic content (eg. low-level grouping zones) in the "everyone kills gods" era.

I do wonder how many of the people who started over on the server they opened at LoY release (Stromm? think that was the name) are here on p99. New server + new content definitely gave the most :classic: feel EQ had had since Kunark, or that's how it felt to me anyway.

Yes, I know LoY is post PoP, I was saying it felt a bit like a throw back to way, way before PoP. It reminded me of exploring classic zones.

If any of you remember the old eq cloth map, was probably on the paper map also. But having the zones on the map added would be reallly cool along with being along classic timeline, just stuff that wasn't implemented. Here's a link to the map, it's hard to read but you can still make out the zone names and what they kind of look like.

Can they just add PoP and skip luclin? <3

[eyepatch]

Custom content could be amazing. Luclin and pop zones with classic NPC's?

So, you claim they have no role then mention a few of their roles? Not sure if trolling or if you actually think you are making sense right now.

Taking DT's is actually a very important aspect to taking down mobs who do DT. If you don't specify then tanks and clerics are most likely the first to get mowed down. Tracking, likewise, is an important role that only rangers can really fulfill.

Are all of the roles in EQ glamorous? Not necessarily but that is part of the appeal. People, the staff, made this server because classic EQ was special. Likewise, everyone who chooses to play here does so for those same reasons. So instead of requesting everyone else conforms to how you think p99 should be run, why don't you just enjoy it?

Otherwise, as I already stated, there is a multitude of other games which offer the "balance" you seek.

You seem to be confused about liking general idea of a classic setting vs liking everything classic up to 100% like some sort of religious fanatic.
Just because I don't like SOME of the thing that going on in MY country, doesn't mean I want to immigrate.
And any idiot can be assigned to take a DT - the reason it was always joked to go the ranger only signifies how useless they were for pretty much anything else. And tracking is hardly EVER needed once you get a little bit accustomed with the area you hunting/camping.
The sheer fact that some classes were made ultra-specialized for hard grouping/raiding, while others were given questionable soloing abilities shows inherited issues with game original design (such as hideous Xp penalties on rather gimp classes, while having virtually no penalty on ultra powerful class like necro). Even original EQ devs realized this and XP penalties were removed during Velious and classes got few extra perks that helped them to be more balanced. Even them, the game itself shifted heavily towards higher end, where more casual grouping classes became less desirable (again see statement by Daldaen about Velious high end grouping content)

...random babbling....

Guess you never tried to run the FM or TT spawned cycles or hunt down Faydedar. But please continue to post more nonsense I am finding mild entertainment from it. In the end I don't need to argue because I joined a server which provides exactly what I want in EQ. And the people who run it have plainly stated they don't plan on changing their plans.

I guess you still a complete noob trying to rely on every minor utility to get anything done. But please continue to post more nonsense I am finding mild entertainment from it. In the end I don't need to argue because when this server will be couple years into Velious the devs WILL add custom content all of the whiners like you will finally leave the server so the air around here will get a lot cleaner.
