I don't really know the details beyond their goal is to actually recreate the game exactly as it was, and that apparently involves years worth of work.

They also plan to have spellbook-in-face meditation.

What? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] An excuse for me to use Sentry?
I did not even think of that! Sign me up!

I check that site out occasionally to see what kind of progress they are making. "Occasionally" has become less and less frequent, since it might not be done for years.

Am I mistaken, or are they not planning to host a server? Just developing the client for others to modify/manage?

I used to be one of the people waiting for EQclassic before i knew about p1999.
I was so pissed off that i had been waiting so long and found out that this server had been up for an entire year.
I tried to post on their forums about how great it is here but they blocked my posts and said I will be banned if I try to post about p1999 again, I sent them a PM back that I don't give a F**k because they are just wasting everyone's time.
Their project will never be done, and they do almost no work on it anymore.

why do you assume they are making this game for anyone other then themselves? i'm pretty sure they could give a fuck less what you think or if anyone plays on a server they may or may not even host.

Maybe I'm weird, but if I spent years making a game and no one played it, I would feel a little sad irl.

This is what would most probably happen. EQ Next comes out, we all go play that for afew years. Come back and rethink about classic. So eqclassic time of completion will be in 10 years. And then everyone be like, why whine about a 20 year old game, yarda yarda

EQC has been through a lot. Yes it is taking a long time but it will be worth it. Personally I think it would be nice to have a couple more classicesqe servers available to play on. On live if you got sick of the raid scene or the community on a server there were many more to choose from. Many folks, my self included, played on multiple servers.

As to not accepting help, I believe that they are trying to keep the sanctity of their work. Why doesn't Nilbog and Rogean make their work on this server public and help stir up a few new servers? Because they worked really hard to get this right and don't want to just give it away to a bunch of slackers. I am pretty sure that Yeahlight and company feel the same.

It will be a real challenge to play on EQC when it comes out. I have plans to try to recreate a awesome computer from the year 2000 to run it, I mean it should be pretty cheap to do [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Classic everquest fans are a community. One that has to fend for its self due to that companies foolish attitude. The fact that P99 exists at all is a miracle, I mean many of you don't remember the DDoS era but I do. Have faith! By the time we are in Velious here EQC will most likely be up and running [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

With that sort of mentality, I don't think most people would care what they accomplish. Doubt many would play a game with big brother breathing down their neck. Sort of defeats the purpose of a game.
