I like it! Drop into the discord and make your voice heard.

This may be the only thing that could bring me back to play EQ. Love the idea.

If anyone is interested....a static trio 3x iksar monk/sham/necro would be solid for this ruleset.

I'll play iksar SK(!)

It would be a simply code change to allow "hardcore" flag, like a PvP flag?


Surely this would be an easy thing to at least accommodate. Different name color?


Otherwise I do not trust p99 players to police themselves. So it will quickly become a P990120 episode b/c some lvl 10 was accused of taking a rez.


Having to enforce a ruleset sucks. All it takes is one asshole, and one friend of the asshole, and the drama train is comin' round the bend.


It would be so tempting to roll an enchanter. Get to lvl 15 then have everyone treat you like a god until you hit 16. Then you get banned by popular guild vote to simply stay at zone ins for breezes.

The discord has grown pretty large. I didn't expect this sort of turn out, so the popular demand is there.

I don't expect P99 to actually do anything to accommodate, but that would be a dream.

Will people cheat? Maybe.

But once people get to the higher levels, there will be people in zones to witness deaths, and maybe even in your group. I guess if you snuck into some far off corner and quietly soloed, you could get away with dying... but people who are going to play like that are less likely to die anyway.

I think if you generate a corpse you’re out.

Ah, this makes sense. I was wondering how "dying" when zoning, or like the regen tick bug, would be handled.

If you die you’re dead, it’s pretty simple, don’t be a moron

The OP has listed some possible exemptions like training or link death.

This is a mistake. The last thing you want is a bunch of people justifying why they’re playing on after dying.

Which is why I said that if you generate a corpse, you’re out. Because it’s the only way to do it, especially when claiming to be hardcore.

“It’s hardcore unless my mom told me to take the trash out so I had to pull the plug”

Nah. If you die you’re out. Only way to go.

Valar Morgulis is the perfect guild name. However it’s spelled.

OP is a known nitwit, of course he doesn’t know a good ruleset he just sees classic wow doing this and says durrr what about Everquest?? This is gonna fall flat quick, most of that discord are people that are known to just troll eq projects and never play, so the numbers (albeit low already) are even lower than you’d think.
