Can I join? I just moved to NY and getting internet set up in 2 days. I'd like to be an enchanter if at all possible. If not, I'll do whatever [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I set up a guild website http://evermore1999.guildlaunch.com/ just to get things going and a little bit more organized for the people that want to join us in this adventure. I named it "evermore" but that def isn't necessarily the name of the guild when the time comes we will take a poll on that. Just sign up and send in your application and get your character in the roster, on the forums we have an introduction thread and also a thread on where we want to dungeon crawl next weekend.

Again the website address is

Tecmos, if you cant understand what i was talking about, then its not really worth elaborating further. I suspect you do, but your just being your normal self.

As for the OP: fair enough on the quotations, I see that you understand the challenge. I did this with some friends a year ago, and we had a great time. We were frustrated with having to loot pretty much everything and tried to make as best an effort we could with buying only items that were reasonable for that level range.

Like i said, good luck!

Lol. I asked a simple question because I really was not sure what you were talking about.

The economy changes to such a degree that you essentially cannot buy anything for market price and keep things pure. You essentially have to loot every item you get yourself, which of course isn't a pure experience.

^ does not make any sense to me. I can't tell if it's a whine about the economy or a misunderstanding of what market price means or an oversight of the fact that you can buy stuff on the market and then delete excess PP that you arbitrarily feel isn't part of a "pure" experience, or what.

"oversight of the fact that you can buy stuff on the market and then delete excess PP that you arbitrarily feel isn't part of a "pure" experience"

Yes you can try do this to an extent. (what one arbitrarily feels is the value of something doesn't make FMV from 3 years ago).

Like I said, Good Luck. I tried it, it was fun for a while, but ended up a failure. The game was much much harder too, so it was def rewarding at the start.

I like the idea. Although I wish I discovered p99 at the start (or we got a server reset [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). But, this is the next best thing. Starting a few days ago I got a bard to 8. With a few nice people and the ec tunnels I basically can ignore many pre-kunark drops for the next 30-40 levels...

Some questions...

P99 blue server?

Basically just never buy/sell things with other players?

No-kunark till 50?

Grouping/soloing without the guild? Obviously with the goal to all stay close in level?

"Raiding"? I remember this big hype after everyone reached 50 and actually raided hate/fear. Some people wanted to level alts and literally raid places like Guk with a mass of under leveled toons. It sounds nice, but in practice its pretty dull. Is that the plan here? Or is it just leveling normally? Warriors are gear dependent sure, but time is typically best spent leveling instead of sending multiple level 10s to try and gear up a tank in crushbone. That shiny brass shield isn't going to make that big of a difference.

Really all i'm looking to experience is the gearing process like it was back in the day when +1 to a stat was amazing and the 1/3 damage ratio Ykeshas were the best out there.

I will join a group if it goes true hardcore. You die, you reroll. Scary stuff...I'd be curious to see how long it could last lol

that is just too harsh. but, it is a fascinating idea. Like, what about 3 deaths a month, after third death, you can't play that char OR ANY other char on that account till the start of next month?

Can't happen on p99. that would have to be an alternate ruleset server. Never thought of this possibility.

Damn, would that be a hardcore server or what? A death limit server. <shudders>

They had a server on live that was PvP and permadeath. It was probably the most fun I've ever had playing EverQuest.
