New EQ Progression Server Guild

[melchizedek]

Well we shall see what they do. It wouldn't make sense for them to leave monks and mages scaled to later content and start back at classic. But there are more baffling mysteries than this that exist.

I wish they would go with a classic rule set or invent a time machine to go back to 1999 haha [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] jk

But for those of us who decide to go and adventure - I feel it's more about being able to be the first to re-explore and re-experience Norrath on a brand new server. Helping to establish community and economy.

The problem is they are too lazy to support two server code versions, and that is what they would have to do to roll back monk fist damage to classic era on a new server. Things like defiant gear dropping and turning off some quests they can do without changing the server code (supposedly). Also they keep making the outrageous claim that they "lost" old code/zone files so they can't go back to them.

Maybe they can get some coding from The guys at p99 haha jk!

Well all things aside - I played from classic thru Luclin and came to p99 in September of 2014. I'm looking forward to a fresh server and start to re play the content I loved over 15 years ago [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For those interested in the guild - what class do you plan to roll?

Actually, that's not outrageous at all. It's totally believable to me. You wouldn't believe the amount of chaos that exists in development shops. People seem to think that dev shops are a bunch of quietly competent nerds, artfully creating things while obsessively keeping records. What a busy dev shop is actually most like is a bus full of screeching monkeys careening down a mountain road desperately trying to steer.

Haha. They're making a new progression server. I read some about it and to my understanding it's supposed to start as true to original EQ as it can - with tradeskills resetting back and classes/races and features only available upon the proper expansion, etc.

i'll believe that when I see it. its going to feel like everquest with 10 expansions (instead of 20) - NOT CLASSIC

Rogean and Nilbog already did. And you found it - Project 1999.

I think a lot of people just want something new, not something farmed out for 5 years. This probably won't be it for me because I'm sure they'll leave in a lot of the unclassic features people are suggesting. Holding out hope for the teams 99 server.
