Longing for the Old Days of P1999, Yet Grateful for the Journey

So wait, this is supposed to be classic EverQuest but they root dragons and have a /list for queueing mobs???

I couldn't agree more with this guy. P99 isn’t classic — it’s “classic” only when it suits them. This is just a pseudo-classic version of EQ. The hypocrisy is off the charts, lol.

They dont care what you (or me for that matter!) think or want.

Ya know who gets listened to? Teddie, he posts quest questions/updates using respect and well researched and written paragraphs.

Try that lil buddy! I bet you cant.

Dude is having a meltdown because P99 won't make their server like Quarm. What an odd thing to do when you literally have Quarm to play on. Clearly a well-adjusted individual, calling people retards...lol...

Trust me, People will flock to the new server in droves, only a few will stay on the merged server for their characters, its just the fresh start that drives us!

Blah. blah blah blah.
You ruined ... blue for me(!)

I feel like I should of jumped on the Quarm train, but I put too many years into EQ private servers. At this point in my life Green only worked for me because I was working remote most of the time I played. The sad truth is the game has fundamentally changed to a job in my mind for 90% of my playtime. Since leaving remote work the last 2 years I realized it is significantly harder for me to play this game. It's a wonderful MMO, but the time sacrifice is absolutely insane, and of course, thats the catch 22 of what makes it great. So in my mind, it's a really great game especially with the right social network, outside of that its a relic.

It is an absolute abyss of a time sink which I can't really afford but the beauty of it in 2025 in my opinion is that it is almost an idle game for the most part. Whack a mob every 16-32mins and hope the next named drops something good. Sell it and every now and then do something fun wih your gear. Time sink but you can still get something out of it regardless of how much time you have to invest.

The only thing it's really missing is scheduled raid times for every raid mob.

You can literally work full time and raid a few hours a few nights a week and do pretty well for yourself. Yeah, you won't be geared quickly but you'll get geared...throw in some harder-core weekends periodically or days off being on call and you can still move up pretty quickly.

Up to 50, especially on an alt with gear, I can easily do a level every evening or two. 50+ it slows down, but it's not like it isn't something I can casually do and make progress.

I am rambling but ultimately saying I disagree with you completely. In a game like WoW I feel obligated to be super active all the time and progressing. Here I can fiddle-fart around and be on one camp peacefully for weeks very casually.

Its mobile gaming at home, but from before mobile gaming.

There is no reason to play green now. As blue has cooler history and characters and maybe some old timers from the better days.

Three good servers need a little bit of love

Make EQ great again!
