Project1999 = Biggest Tease Ever.

[Saveaux]

Recently while playing SWTOR I heard people talking in /general chat about project 1999 and Everquest. I got a private message from someone saying "google project199, read it, shit your pants, then change your life". Naturally my heart started to race at the very thought of once again playing EQ (and death touching the shit outta people). I read that it will require Everquest Titanium and I think, oh well thats prolly like $10 on eBay. So I search and come up with nothing. So I search on Amazon to find 3 copys! Only the 3 copies are $187 a piece!!!!

I saw that the pvp server had around 150 people playing last night and didn't think that was very much. So I think to myself, if I can't even find a copy of EQ then that means other people can't, which means that the 150 people I saw playing will most likely NEVER grow to be anything larger than 150 people.

I feel compelled to do math here, lets see. If by the year 2013 there are only 3 copies of EQ Titanium available....hmm....how many more people can play? Well if I carry the one and divide by PI.....oh that looks correct. THREE!

So my issue here lies. Someone awesome decided to make a EQ emulator. 1000 awesome people bought all the copies of the game. Growth potential = ZERO.

I understand that the developers of project1999 never intended to support 20 million players. I also thought when I heard about project1999 that I could play. I guess I missed out on this one. After 12 sad years of not playing EQ, project1999 has been the biggest "get my hopes up, then knocking me down" I've had. Thanks.


Btw last night after hearing about project1999 I called a friend who I havent talked to in years to tell him "WE CAN PLAY EQ AGAIN". We stayed up for 45 minutes last night laughing over the old times. We were on the Vallon Zek server.

We all found ways around it im sure someone will post it

Be right back...

[Sularus Oth Mithas]

There is a lot of flawed logic in your post that I am not even going to touch. So I will share just a couple of things with you. If you want to BUY titanium then you can do so for much cheaper. I bought a used copy from Amazon for 42 bucks - small price to play EQ again.

There are other ways that cost nothing but I am sure you can figure those out.

How in the world do people living in the year 2013 not understand this shit?

This lovely server requires EQ:Titanium Edition (http://www.amazon.com/Everquest-Titanium-Pc/dp/B000CPSHFS). You should look around for it.

If you SEARCH FOR EVERQUEST TITANIUM long enough you will find it.

Playing classic Everquest

really
amazing, however
there is definately some setup involved.

I am content with the money I spent for Torchlight 2. I feel I got a lot of value out of that game, especially compared to those that purchased Diablo 3. Paying for things is not inherently bad, its when you know you are getting screwed by the content developer.

I should have qualified that by saying "people that pay for OLD and readily available software."

[joppykid]

Just use Google sometime, it can be very powerful. Type in a question and it answer's it. Crazy, I know. That's how I got involved on the server.

[Aaron]

I wonder what percentage of players on P1999 paid for Titanium to play the game.

[Tenlaar]

I've paid for multiple copies of titanium in the past. That's good enough for me.

It's titanium. I'm sure that's hard for you to figure out, since all you see is platinum.

[Bamzal Sherbet]

lets just hope he got the answer by now...

[Sirken]

titanium was like 20 bucks on newegg shortly before p99 blew up. since its a finite thing (meaning no more are being made) its entirely possible some douche bought literally all of them in circulation and is now reselling at those jacked up prices.

[SamwiseRed]

why cant we say pirate bay?

seriously asking, i am not sure why.

[San]

I am not real computer savvy. Saw a couple years ago a little bit about this server and thought it seemed cool. It was not the high prices that scared me off buying a copy off of Amazon or Ebay. It was not wanting to wait til it came in the mail because I wanted to play right now! So I then began searching for a different way to acquire the game and was playing that night. If I can figure it out. Anyone can.

[Bamzal Sherbet]

lol I'm glad to see that all the eq players still love to talk shit but have no clue what they are doing once it comes to pvp. I'll see all your noob asses in game. I'm an idiot because I first looked for a purchasable game? Riiiight, pretty sure that just means that I have a grown up job and have zero problems paying for things that I enjoy. lol I think its so funny how you guys who try to flame on forums think your so "cool" to post things such as "idiot, is this post for real, and there is alot of flawed logic to this post". There is no flawed logic. My logic was completely sound for the information that I had, and I challenge you to find fault in any of my logic with the information that I had.

Its clear that I am the computer tech noob who didn't think to illegally download the game, its also clear that everyone who thought it was funny enough to flame spends a little too much time at the computer, although you all already knew that.

I work in vascular surgery. Its like a patient coming in for the first time with hepatobiliary carcinoma with questions and me laughing at them for not knowing whats going on. I can only hope this sort of justice for you flamers. Life is short, don't be dick.

Sorry perhaps I shoulda said your math was flawed. Anyway I was just trying to point out that you can find it much cheaper and where I got one for cheaper and that you can if you so desire pay noting.

Glad you're going red, enjoy.

I heard that bit torrent places were almost guaranteed virus infestations. Scare tactic?

Be that as it may, I don't think I would complain about spending about 20 times what a 7-year-old, out-of-print software was at one time going for. You were basically buying a collector's item being sold by speculators.

[Lyra]

itt: doctor complaining about $200

He said he works in vascular medicine, didn't say he was a Dr.

IF he was a medical Dr he probably has $400,000 in loans to pay off.

Nothing wrong with being frugal.

Ya, one of my pet peeves, but whatever.

You're cute

I heard that bit torrent places were almost guaranteed virus infestations. Scare tactic?

I don't ever leave it running to "share" I suggested the one I like, for reason.

[Lagaidh]

I wonder what percentage of players on P1999 paid for Titanium to play the game.

Well. I went to the bay to play here too. I spent time looking for my disks and cussing, but just had to arrr' matey Titanium.

I found my disks when we moved. The wife bought Titanium to catch up on expansions back in the day.

That does make me wonder the same thing though...

I'm a programmer by trade, but I have no qualms with being arr'matey for software. If I end up liking it I buy it. If I don't, I move on to a different program for the purpose. Same for music. I get it with the digital five finger discount first. If it's good. I'll buy it.

Oh wait... I never paid for Winzip...

I think it is just hard for people to understand how someone looking into project1999 can't figure out how to find it legit/not.

Also doctor? Raging about forum trolls for being called an idiot? Not so sure about this one.

[Abner]

I visited a pirate and per his instructions installed a torch. When I lit the torch things popped up that I didn't want to see.

I snuffed out the torch. I don't trust the pirate.

Perhaps I'll pay $35.00 for the discs. /shrug

I sent you instructions.

This is part of them:

1a) Hover over Free Download, and uncheck all boxes ( they're for addons that you don't want ).

Don't click ANYTHING ELSE on that website I send you to. Follow the instructions.

But that goes for any website you visit. Don't ever click the flashing red boxes that say "Click Here". Right?

Then after you are done, find it in your task bar and close the program. If you restart your computer and it shows up, you can again right click it in your task bar to close. If you want to remove it from your start up menu, we can do that in another lesson.

[Lyra]

Send me a message if you get stuck. Loading the second "disc" often causes confusion. You really just repeat the exact same thing as you did for the first disc.

[Abner]

Oh hey sorry I didn't realized you messaged me. I will follow your instructions and try again.

Thanks much!
