I've lost the desire to play everquest

Agreed. I'd really like to be seeing that proposed new blue progression server being launched right now/this summer. That'd be epic.

Purely conjecture, but I think the little "P99-DayBreak Deal" put a temporary nix on the release of any future servers.

Perhaps once the Phinigel Live server is out of Velious they'll open another server or something.....but I wouldn't count on it.

I think it's more the fact that most of us already played this game from 1999-2003 and now on an emulator for years.

That shit is going to get stale.

That's the hard boring truth.

Otherwise you think id ever float the notion of Luclin/PoP on this server?

Its really the only way to get a good PoP or Luclin locked server. And while that too can get stale, it takes a long time and generally you only need a break to get back into it.

And it makes me sad. Have any of you experienced and beaten this illness? How do I enjoy the nostalgia again when it isn't fun anymore. Pls help.

Could be low T.

I love EQ. In its pure form, there isn't another game that can even approach it. The perfect pairing of challenge overcome thru coop play, addictive progression and gameplay, offerings for both casuals and hardcores, but the entire house of cards tumbles when the process is trivialized.

Very well said!

Now if I create a new warrior today on P1999 blue and only acquire gear myself from mobs or via quests, I have no chance of getting a group as tank with a server population that is twinked out. I also will have no chance of properly fulfilling my role as tank with twinked group mates as they will have larger mana pools due to twinked out gear. They will draw too much agro that I can never successful taunt off. Also, my lack of gear would cause healers to expend far too much mana to keep me healed.

It's like going back in time and expecting an NFL player from the 1950's to play at the same level of expertise and physical conditioning of a modern NFL team in 2016.

Creating a great MMORPG is one thing. Continuing to manage a MMORPG and create a path of meaningful advancement for players is something entirely different. It's not easy.

The glacial gap between release in expansions in P1999 has further compounded the problem creating a situation where people reach the level cap and are forced to create more alts and even create more accounts which erodes the authenticity of the classic EQ experience.

EverQuest in it's classic and pristine form is the finest MMORPG in existence bar none. SOE got intro trouble along the way with conflicting design which created a lack of cohesion as they released further expansions. Add into the mix that no expansions will be forthcoming after Velious in P1999 and you have a big problem.

I am really hoping that the admins will someday engage the P1999 community in a productive and constructive dialogue about the future of these servers.

I can't even recall what you're mad about. Would say that constitutes a resounding rustle success.

That did change, but I think there was a archived live stream where they were still talking about it since then.
