I think a lot of people who have never played EQ would try p99 just to see what it was all about and what started it all. I have genuinely had friends from WoW ask me a million questions about it, but ultimately decide it’s too hard to install

Wow is to EQ as Barney is to Jurassic Park.

Not serious. Like one day, a huge youtube made a video on p99 then all of a sudden,

you have thousands of players joining p99 (I'm talking people of all ages)

the server population will go bump up to the thousands and people are ruining the game

what will you do? Would you quit? Would you troll the mass?

I'm curious what you guys have to say

This already happened- how do you think it went from 100-200 people to 1000+ daily.

I Disagree with the shutting down p99 lot. I think daybreak would realize they need to just purchase the project outright and cash in.

Shutting down p99 would cause outrage and divisiveness in already an extremely niche community. If you shut down a project that is giving your IP new life via viral content, you're quite literally shooting yourself in the foot. Rick James shut up pretty quickly when the U CANT TOUCH THIS checks started flowing in, enabling his drug habits for years to come.

For the record, I think it's possible. The raid scene circa 2016-2018 offered PVE competitive content unlike literally anything on the market. Which most gamers born in the 90s on crave. Add in a truly massive and interesting world, retro graphics, and an MMO where community actually matters, and you ACTUALLY talk to your group mates, and ACTUALLY form acquaintances outside of your core in game friends, it really could be a hit in 2021.

It would be a shit show, but it would bring a tear to my eye. EQ through Velious is one of the best gaming experiences ever produced.

Could be. I’m just basing it off what happened to that hugely popular classic WoW emulated served, I think it was called Nostalrius

Then again Daybreak isn’t blizzard so who knows

Friendly reminder that it’s only illegal to use ip if it’s marketed for profit.

I can machine ar’s and hand them to my friends if I wanted to, I can even engrave colt on the side of them if I wanted. As long as they’re not sold I’m in the clear, thems the rules-welcome to capitalism.

Ant it great?
