P99 isn't classic....you want classic release the 1999 alpha lol now that was some classic odd looking graphics...ogres looked like upright pancakes and half the time you was Michael Jackson your feet didn't touch the ground when you walked

Yeah.
Too bad they cant use the original release disk with the original client (the work would be insane). Now that would be real nostalgia for those that play for nostalgia. That good old Graphic-MUD style client [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

hah yeah, by the time the pre-kunark era was ending, things certainly changed a lot, quite a bit easier. Ode to the days of the postage stamp sized view window and needing to have the spell book open to med.

CATS FOR THE PEOPLE.

But anyways, all likelihood as for "custom" content I could see the envelope push as far as Stoneburnt mountains, Jaggedpine forest, and Cazic Thule 2.0. Those zones we additions/changes to the original continents, but didn't feel like luclin era/skills needed zones

[Jaleth]

Understand though I would expect this on a custom content server while leaving p1999 blue as it is until the final patch of Velious, forever in the "classic" stasis timeline.

[Nicoladen]

The server will close and the staff from P99 will be hired by Daybreak to make 1-2 new classic servers with subscriptions. Max 2 accounts (maybe 3 I can't decide) / subscriptions pr. IP.
The server will follow the classic timeline for expansion releases until it reaches OoW.
Bazinga!

Luclin does damage the feel of classic EQ. But I guess I'm where most active players on this server are at. Basically, it is worth it. The new abilities, AAs, and Raid Content is worth the hit to the classic feel.

This is particularly true because this server does not feel 100% classic. The player population is much more power gamer oriented, has perfect information, and is extremely top heavy (which happens when a server is locked in content for years).

So to me and many others, Luclin seems like the best future for the people that actually play on p99 a lot.

I play on p99 a lot. I don't like Luclin. I don't want the servers to go to Luclin. I think the poll reflects that "most active players" who "actually play on p99 a lot" don't want the server to go to Luclin (only 110 of the 382 responses as of this writing have chosen this option). Keep in mind that anyone who is forumquesting probably plays this game an awful lot.

Just saying.

It's probably true among top end raiders that they want Luclin, because they don't want a future of doing nothing but raiding Velious mobs. Maybe that's the perspective where you're speaking of. But it always annoys me slightly when that crew thinks they're the only people on the box who bother playing. You play in a different world than the others do. That's all.
