Who said I was a fan of classic? My favorite era of the game is PoP.

Looking forward to the day they finally remove mousewheel scroll. The rage will be hilarious.

When did mousewheel scroll get added to real everquest?

Is it part of velious timeline?

No, it was post-classic era, post planes of power launch, even. That's why EQmac doesn't have it. It could be disabled on P1999 but the server admins keep it because they like it too and don't feel it's too big a deal.

On a different tangent, P1999 Blue is real EQ insofar as I care anymore. Twelve years here versus less than three for the classic era of the original game means I've spent a lot more time here than I did there.

You guys and your mouse wheels.......first person and f9 view for life.


So as a former EQMAC (Al'Kabor) raider, and current p99 green + TAKP raider, I can say each server has its own thing going on.

The ultimate decision for me was what era do I want to play in? The answer was both.

I loved Luclin and PoP on EQMAC, so I gave it a second shot on TAKP last year and I single box in a raiding guild. I usually send tells to find xp groups, or get with guildies, and I have no problem finding AAs. The raid scene is rotated, so if you like having a set schedule to raid it is nice (my guild is 3 days a week at 10 pm est). Also next month you get to experience the race to PoTime...

P99 is great if you lust for the velious raid era, competitive raid scene, and other classic features like EC tunnel, no AA, no beastlord, no vanshir. Am I having a blast since Velious dropped? Absolutely...but for me the golden era was PoP, as I quit after GoD expansion.

Right now if I plan my time right I can enjoy being a support class on TAKP raids, and a tank class on p99 green raids.

Melx seems like cool guy.

If I was a top level 60 raider I think that I would like POP too, as AA's are insanely fun

For me the value of Vanilla, Kunark, and Velious (less so velious) is that in these eras there is still a lot of high end droppable gear that makes a difference, and the item progression is a bit more natural versus luclin items dropping from level 20 mobs being better than vanilla worlds best in slot items.

But as a level 60 raider none of that matters what do you care about how screwed up the progression is. What matters to the raider is the level 60 to the level 60 with 300 AA's and best in slot progression and in POP this is more fun.

As for me, I like Vanilla where even bronze armor has value, and iksars don't exist to make human monks and all other necros obsolete.

but velious is a good compromise because the game still fits together pretty good and I do love those velious textures - rygorr looked so cool the first time I saw it.

I think boxing is fine if you do something to limit it like locking boxed characters to a zone or giving a 3 minute window to box.

I had fun leveling 2 trios on TAKP but I did 99% of it solo with my boxes and that just feels bad.

Doing truly solo content on P99 is much more fulfilling and the option to group is always available.

+1 for the single box to PoP crowd.

Good points.

Most servers probably don't implement it because it requires snooping and enforcement that isn't native to eqemu.
