"Classic" feeling shifting?

Just be thankful you have your item links and current UI modding capabilities.

Everything else is no.

I really wish we had classic UI, and no item links. I was really hoping when I first started on this and saw the Classic tag that I would have the old UI and people in EC offering to show their bags of wares at T1! But, alas, not yet. It's obviously not a game breaker because this server is still awesome but it would have been great.

Some people would pay for an updated FF VII or Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I'd go for a truly classic PoP server. It existed on Al'Kabor and I was able to play there for a year. Definitely best year of EQing I've done. Easily.

Still super salty they made it FTP and then shut it down though.

The way you talk about PoP makes me wish I had played more of it

I got the Mac server working on my PC just about a week before they shut it down. Got to level 5 and then wasn't able to play anymore. I was a little sad because although I wasn't a huge fan of PoK, I did really enjoy all the new zones from PoP.

It really was the best expansion EQ had.

At Halius that's a shame, I know a few others who had just gotten their client functioning and we're starting. Such a shame they decided to be dumb and remove their best server with all the classic fixings. Oldschool damage tables, the newbie armor was in alpha status, still had corpse runs, still had exp loss, no new fangled UI adjustments.

If you wanted to remain in Velious that was your choice. On that server the <Vintage> guild worked their way through classic and Kunark, had just started knocking down dragons in NToV when the server came down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I'm hoping the TAKProject mined enough data from the server before it went offline to replicate it somewhat.

Personally Velious / Luclin / PoP are my three favorite expansions. While I fully understand the devs desire to cap things at Velious (no AA, no new models, etc) I personally would love to play on a server that had the same dedication to detail that p99 does, but extended throuch to PoP.

I could not disagree with this more. The EPs elaborated and perfected the premanent separation of EQ players into larger population of casual scum who might maybe get a few content crumbs and a minority of privileged players who got to play the game that everybody payed equally to play. It was this divide in the player population that led inevitably to EQ's decline. Fewer and fewer players found enough interesting about the game to keep paying a subscription. When you're effectively locked out of vast swaths of content, why would you pay to continue developing and elaborating that content?

Quite a few casual and/or RP players could see where EQ was headed once they got a good look at Velious. Many of my friends, both RL and those I had made in-game, bailed on EQ early in Velious. More left early in Luclin, most of the remainder bailed as soon as it became clear how PoP content worked. Amongst gamers who were not obsessed with ordering their real lives around high-end EQ raiding, PoP sucked ginormous necrotic donkey balls for exactly the reason you are applauding it.

PoK & PoK books were stupid, but they're not why PoP sucked. PoP sucked because it offered next to nothing to the overwhelming majority of the players who paid for its development. Velious prepared the stake, Luclin held the stake in place and handed up the mallet, and PoP struck the killing blow, driving the stake mercilessly into heart of EQ, killing the greatness of the game for all time.
