Why all the SOE run servers if Project 1999 is free to play?

I would trade my left nut to play on a PoP era server again.

Me too, i think i would become a hermit and never go out of my apartment ever again.

In another thread, some people voiced concerns about AAs creating a larger gap between a fresh 60 and a 60 with AAs, making it difficult to catch up or creating another tool for people to discriminate, i.e. U dont haev at least 800 AA u suk lol.

Which is true, i won't deny it, but after a few months on p99, i made an observation: this server is pretty hardcore.

Project 1999 is not for casual gamers at all. No PoK books, no LFG tool. Either you get lucky and get a group when you log on, or try to build one and that takes time. Sometimes you've been online for an hour setting things up, sending tells, and you still haven't made one kill.

Look at the state of the server right now. Every target that's even remotely worth something is camped or batphoned the moment it's up. That's what happens when the sandbox is small and there's too many kids in it.

Velious will alleviate some of the problems we have right now, more zones mean more places to level, especially at 50+. But were still far from Velious.

And even then, what will happen after Velious is out for a couple of years? Same thing that's happening right now. This is the nature of MMOs, they can't stagnate, they have to progress.

But there's a point where the progression is just too much. When you don't feel like starting an alt because you look at everything you'll need to do before getting to the point you want to be, and it feels like climbing mount Everest.

This is why, i think, PoP without LDoN and Ykesha would be perfect for p1999. It would add plenty of content without making it seem too far and it would bring balance through AAs for classes that need it, plus improvements for the rest.

Of course, with the staff being volunteers who clearly put quality in front of mass-pumping out the next expansion coupled with the fact that going up to PoP would take a massive amount of work, we wouldn't get there anytime soon but nonetheless, i think that's the direction P1999 should be headed to.

This.

Luclin and PoP AAs.

They were the best imo. They added much needed improvements for certain classes, fun toys and utility for others, without making the game feel bloated or ridiculous.

I stated it often and i'll do it once more: PoP was the pinnacle of Everquest.

This so goddamn much.

Do you ever not say something that I absolutely agree with? I think we were actually talking about this once upon a time. POP was so much fun. I was actually starting to space out towards the end of Luclin and POP just breathed a breath of fresh air into my MMO'ing self. The best time of my life period was playing during POP and working with an amazing guild getting my BoT key and grinding for hours in there. The day I got my Greatstaff of Thunder on my monk I was just screaming like a banshee in joy. I know people say that sony "jumped the shark" with luclin but I think that's BS. It's just people that are butthurt because the models changed and that was too much of an aversion from "classic" for them.

Pras Luclin. Pras AA's. Pras PoP. If you don't like PoK then just walk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tywi0IPLYwY
