Blue and Green have been tremendous successes, what's next for Project1999 ?

[Viscere]

Do you think race based pvp would be less asymetric than Red99?

basically my point is, Red99 was pure grieving, which made it unplayable for the masses which eventually led the server to die

how would a VZ/TZ99 server be any different?

[MrSparkle001]

I'm not familiar with the race-based rules, only the diety-based rules, but no I don't think it will be much different. It will be griefing on a teams scale instead of guild scale.

Wasn't there an RP server named Fironia Vie or something where there wasn't a "common" tongue and you had to learn others languages?

Wow languages. Even on non-RP servers I now remember standing there usually in the tunnel while someone spammed their language. It was very early on in vanilla when we thought it would be important to learn ogre and dark elf as a high elf.

The extremely small vocal minority of people that actually like EQ PvP are such loudmouths that it almost starts to feel like there's more than 50 of them


But there isn't

Given the status / history with Red99 I'd say probability the staff devotes time to another PVP server is extremely low.

However, they have mentioned Classic TLPs are on the menu , and Green 1.0's timeline is soon over.

really curious what they will propose!

I'd like to see the P99 source code open sourced, so that we can get some devs who want to make the server classic, including raids, charm and spell interrupts.

Charming on TAKP is wayyy different. If you have a mob or two beating on you, good luck getting a spell off. Huge difference.

I've been saying this for years. Not necessarily so another dev could make a "more classic" server but just in general. P99 has a super solid base that if made open source could spawn some really cool spinoff projects with different ideas and mechanics for people with different tastes. It might cause some people in this community to have an aneurysm but I'd wager that a p99 spinoff with some MINOR added QoL and instances would be fairly popular with a good number of folks that prefer that type of gameplay. Some kind of happy medium between P99 and TLP's. Or how about P99 based server with additional custom endgame content? There's a boatload of possibilities but for one reason or another the powers that be have decided they don't want this to be a reality.

The reason why they refuse to go open source is a big sketchy question mark for me. If this whole project's entire purpose was to just create a "museum" as close to classic as possible and was a strictly not for profit fan made project (as has been stated and as per the legal agreement between P99 and Daybreak) then what's the reason for closed source? Generally things are closed source because of monetary and anti competitive reasons.
