Will MvP be brought back during Velious?

I may be off a detail or two about this, but does anyone remember that short period of time when you could play as a low level Monster during the Velious era? Is that going to be brought back sometime during the expansion? I just remember it being really fun.

I don't think that ever made it to live. It was on the test server for awhile though.

You are correct sir. Did you ever play it?

that is incorrect, for a period of like a day or so on Vallon Zek a little button with a M was on the character select screen allowing you to play as a lowbie monster. This quickly got removed duo to the massive amount of griefing low lvl players got from uber decaying skeletons jousting them to death.

I seem to remember it making it to live also...for a VERY short period of time, lol. Project M, I think it was.

Don't think the devs want to fool with that though; it's like a game within a game, and I imagine the coding wouldn't be worth the effort.

lame they removed it but it was known as "Project M" Came out around the same time as luclin or after, on pvp servers only. At the char select screen there was a button that said "monster" you click it and you were randomly spawned in a newbie/lowbie zone as a mob. I loved it when I was a caster mob, Id mem all the spells and go to town lol. You couldnt use any of the chats, but you could kill other NPC's and gain xp lolz. Once you were killed it kicked you back to the char select screen where you could hit Monter again and have some more fun if you wanted. Dont think we will see it here though but would definately be fun.

Heres an article on Monster Missions which replaced Project M, and what happened to Project M... http://eqplayers.station.sony.com/ne...9&month=092005

Nilbog's stated that he loved Project M (just like everyone, myself included, seemed to) and would like to implement it some time, but not to hold your breath since there are a ton of other things to do that have bigger priority (e.g. bug fixes, Kunark, Velious, etc.).

Are there any Emu servers out there where Project M (or something similar) is enabled?

I had made a post about this very topic last october on the EQEMU boards hoping to inspire somone with more back end knowlege to create such a server. No luck so far.
