Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

Kinda wish you could toggle off the solo-only mode once reaching cap. I'd like to try it but it'd suck to not ever get to raid.

The "group self-found" mode sounds like it would be pointless since you can still trade/do business with people that are also in that mode (right?) so it would be like playing on a smaller server rather than a proper iron-man mode.

I don't think you can trade with other self founders.

I think it just limits you to grouping with self founders and having to be in the group getting exp on the mob to be able to loot a mob.

Anyhow. I'm rolling hcssf. Ill prolly do a hcsf too eventually

This games too easy. There's already level 1s with full rubicites and we killed vox and naggy with a raid average level of 30

Nice, will check it out.
Honestly only thing keeping me from Quarm is the camera issues.

Today I found some old friends who just never quite got the itch scratched by p99 on Quarm. Hurrah!

Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today

Congrats to Secrets and the Project Quarm team for getting an article written about your server on PC Gamer magazine. That's an accomplishment any old school gamer can appreciate in a new era of gaming.

The article is a nice homage to Old School EQers in the EQ Emu scene.

P1999 and TAKP also get shout outs by PC Gamer.

I feel like this much publicity is also a bad thing for the server (and even P99… even though P99 has an agreement with DBG). DBG may not care for their IP being flaunted like that.

In the world of copyrights / patents, if you don’t actively defend your copyright / patent, you basically give up your rights to it.

We are closer to Pong players then a set of possibly-lucrative players that a gaming company would try and monetize.

I see what you are saying and if the year was 2008 you'd be on to something. In 2023 I think it's probably ok. Only time will tell of course.

Most gaming companies that are doing well are not worried about IP from 20-25 years ago because the current paying gaming public thinks that games made with graphics from that era are unplayable.

Dey'break Games needs to realize there's some mileage in making an official server that's classic with old models, mob timers and info, etc etc. The hard work has been done for them (P99) but they still go for the lazy option and keep out of era stuff for their progression servers. Their choice. Until then expect the classic crowd to keep playing here/Quarm.
