The Future?

[Dacien]

I feel like adding AA's would be good. Just AA's. Nothing else. The framework for them was in by the end of Velious anyway, let's just fudge the timeline a bit. Would def extend P99.

i agree with others, i don't know why this game needs to keep expanding. do old school RPGs need expansions? different people will cycle through every couple of years as they get that itch and come back with friends to do a 1-60 run. it's not different than people going back and replaying old favorites every so often, like FFVII or whatever.

the server will grow and shrink at various times, but Project 1999 provides a fun, compelling experience and the closest thing to classic that exists (and likely will ever exist, unless EQClassic ever gets finished, through some miracle). people will come back when they get nostalgic and then leave once they are sated. this will repeat again and again until the devs have to pull the plug for whatever reason.

the difference here is that everquest requires players to play the game. you can play final fantasy 7 by yourself at any time without anyone helping you. this game is the staple of a social game.

right, and the population will wax and wane as people leave and others return.

my overall point was that Project 1999 doesn't need new content just like FFVII doesn't need new content. people will duck back in every so often to roll a new character with new or old friends and re-experience Classic EQ.

poopsocks will leave when they get bored, sure, but poopsocks don't make up the majority of the population. in fact, hardcore players of that nature can actually stifle casual players who can't/won't put in that same amount of time to keep up.

One thing is for sure, Velious is a weak xpac and the reason why people are clamoring for new content so shortly after its launch.

This is the velious release stream, has time stamps in the first post.

31:00 - custom content info
42:45 - post-velious plans

not bid details just a vague idea of future plans

[Buellen]

Thank you Tann that was very helpful.

At least we all can now understand. Nothing past Velious Expansion. Some possible zone geometry with classic style mobs and loots as custome content.

[Dacien]

How about some GM events? That would be cool. Maybe something for us leveling scrubs, not just a Cazic Thule spawn in LOIO for the raiding guilds to batphone about.

plenty of content to see if you are leveling.
