On behalf of the chicken littles, touche.

Aye - this is quite an amazing find. I only just learned about it last week and have since re-recruited two of my old "EQ Live" friends to play with the potential of a couple more friends joining.

I do wish that it was possible to run the game with the "classic" brown Necromancer skeleton pets ;-)

Necros had white pets on Live up till Level 24 just like it is on P1999. Different texture/model though, I know. I also prefer the look of the old style pets. The new ones look too much like Necrons from WH40K.

Oh, I am quite aware of that [You must be logged in to view images.

They do sort of look like they have a very thin sheet of crispy fried blackened flesh over their bones... as I recall on Live after they changed the models all of the Necro pets 1, 4 ... through the level 56 Monk pet used the same "new" whitish grey model (albeit the lower level ones weren't as tall as the later level ones) until 59 with the first pet to use the Spectre model. It was one of the sadder moments I experienced in EQ :-/

Yeah the zone-specified ooc feels very good to me now that we are at this level. There is always somebody in a given zone available to answer questions or give minor direction/help.

However I admit I do normally play during peak hours.

This is the exact reason to not go with the popular crowd vote, and just do what you know is right. If we had left it up to the vote of the masses we'd have boxing, and global OOC, and the game would be just like every other EQ emu (PEQ). The population, and community would likely reflect them too.

Will be a day to pull out some of Tumpy's best when we finally hit 1k people!

With the population the server has now a global OOC would be completely untenable. It was fun and helpful when we had 80 players on but for 800+ it just won't work.

Go Go Classic EQ!
