Anyone playing this on 1999 vintage hardware?

So, I am a member of a few other forums related to vintage computer hardware and was just wondering if anyone has been able to connect and play on this server using 1999 vintage hardware?

If you lived close enough to the city. Lots of folks still didn't.

I have an Atari 130xe with a homemade ethernet cartridge in it...but I could only see the top left ear of any mob I was fighting, so sadly I am on modern hardware.

The client assumes that higher resolution textures and more detailed models are going to be used. Those are disabled by default on P1999. Some of the zones were also updated like Freeport, Commonlands, Oasis, Nektulos, etc to require more computing power. Those zones are still the original zones here. The DX 8.1 update didn't take place until Luclin and the DX 9 update came later still. Since those updates will never be implemented here, using older hardware shouldn't be as much of a problem as you seem to think.
