DBG should add P99 install link on EQ Steam page ($25)

Daybreak ( Apr 29, 2015 ):

"We’re proud that the EverQuest community is one of the most passionate and engaged groups of players in the gaming world. We’re glad we were able to reach an agreement with the team behind the fan-based, not-for-profit emulation project as they continue to share their love of EQ with many."

>>

Daybreak already has link to their EQ client on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/205710/EverQuest/

( I am pretty sure it is "Rain of Fear" client )

>>

Just below "System Requirements" Daybreak could have unobtrusive links for pre-patched P99 clients ( Titanium clients that already includes patch file ( v61 ) with Duxa UI / etc ) [blue 1.0 / green2.0 / teal 2.0 / red 2.0 / p99 test / p99 pearl / etc )

Would be great if those clients supported patchers.

>>

Of the $25, Steam takes their cut first, then p99 project gets $5, and the rest goes to DBG.

>>

getting titanium cd on ebay is a total ripoff:

Hello Ma'am, I'm sure you heard of an encyclopedia, well I sell the best of the lot, Brittanica! For affordable monthly payments your family can grow every day, learning new facts about our modern world, right at home!

Or if you wish, Ma'am, you can pay $25 dollars for this free to play version run by people who actually care about encyclopedias.

"not-for-profit emulation project"

"then p99 project gets $5"

does not compute

If P99 was easy to install it would be way, way, way, way, way, WAY more popular. I have had a ton of WoW buddies who know how into EverQuest I am, who decide they want to invite themselves into P99... and quickly realize they have no idea how to even install the game. And I'll be honest, I have issues installing it as well in the rare event I have to. I do all the weird stuff too with the HD textures, DUXA etc, so it's a lot more processes. I don't really have a great excuse for this though since I have an external hard-drive specifically for gaming, I should just finalize it, but at the same time I'm scared to mess with it.

Over the years I have had a few inexplicable situations where P99 would crash for me for no apparent reason, or anytime I zoned. And crashed in a big way, where I couldn't log back in. Makes me scared to mess with it TOO MUCH.

Sounds like a feature

This is possible if you register as a developer and then just never release it so you can easily play on steam deck.

I have yet to try eq on steam deck:

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/...ckrefurbished/

Displayed 5 refurbished units but they were all:

"Out of Stock"

On Walmart see following:

this.

we desperately need new people but the install process is a good moat to keep the riff raff out

we lower the drawbridge at our own peril.
