I do believe that if we are talking older computers/systems to bring back the true classic experience we must also talk of going back to where we were in our life when we first encountered the ever quest. I imagine many would have to go back to being in high school and anxiously awaiting that final bell so that they could go home and immerse themselves in the land of trolls, dragons, ninja looters, corpse runs, and the like and have a parent around to chide them about being up to all hours of the night when they are just trying to wait out this Hadden spawn damnit and if they look away for even a moment they might miss it and that shady looking dark elf that has swung by the pond several times might steal it from you and then when you get Hadden but no earring you know that six hours later you gotta be there and you shamefully set an alarm to interrupt your sleep and get up at 4 in the morning to log in because you know he's spawning at 4:21 and you want to be there for it for that fishbone earring stuff but of course none of this experience was mine rather I was just throwing out a hypothetical and in the end I would agree with the sentiment that the true classic experience is gone forever, but if they come out with really good mindwipe technology I wouldn't mind erasing my knowledge of everquest and start "brand new" and then I would probably mind wipe knowing how to ride a bike as well because screw it. I never liked bikes anyways and i'm honestly not sure I've ridden one in the past 20 years so it seems like a useless waste of space, much like the cat people of kerran isle are a waste of space unless I'm missing something and one of them drops like the supreme ball of yarn that has god like stats but I highly doubt that, in fact I think I might just go to kerran isle and slaughter the cat people the next time that I'm on and claim their island in the name of the peoples of Oggok as I am sure that all Ogres know it is about time we expanded our territories and gained a foothold into other areas of Norrath but ultimately classic EQ is going the way of the dodo bird, sabertooth tiger (RL), and the emperor penguins and perhaps the people getting the true classic EQ experience are those who come to p99 brand new and never played Everquest before.

I dug out one of my old box monitors from back in the early 2000s.

I seriously forgot how small the screens were. I don't think I could even manage if I wanted to on that now.

He meant "crusty armor" I think.

Ideally id want a fresh server that goes to the end of PoP, but certains Devs aren't interested.

Im all for a new PVE server, timelines dont have to be classic. ~1 year of Kunark isnt very long, at all. If timelines were classic, P99 would be on Prophecy of Ro or The Serpent's Spine right now? The good thing P99 did was give people many years to catch up..

I would actually argue that's the bad thing P99 did.

I'd be down for 2 years of Kunark. That way you can cycle your addicts. First wave of addicts are the hardcores who crush it for the first 4-6 months. Most of those burn out. Rinse and repeat and then 2 years down the line, pretty much everyone is ready to move on!

This patch note is from 8/9/2000

Quote:
Time has come to do some cleanup on character data across the servers. On August 23rd (Pacific), we will be doing a system-wide cleanup of level 1 characters. All level 1 characters that have that have not been played within 30 days from the date of the purge will be deleted. As GMs will not be able to restore any characters that are deleted, please be certain to log in any level 1 characters that you wish to keep prior to the purge.
followed by this one on 8/23/2000

Quote:
We've decided to postpone the previously announced purging of level 1 characters that had not been played in the past 30 days. Should we reschedule this process in the future, we will again give fair warning prior to implementing the purge.
And finally this one on 9/19/2000 and 9/28/2000

Quote:
The Level 1 character purge announced several weeks ago will take place on Wednesday, September 27, 2000, at 7:00am PST (GMT-7). Any level 1 characters that haven't been played within the previous 30 days will be deleted. If you wish to keep any level 1 characters that you may have, please log in and play them between now and 9/27.
Quote:
The Level 1 character purge has been completed. All level 1 characters that have not been played within the past 30 days have been deleted.
