Free Client ever coming in the future?

[eqarigon]

Discovered Project 99 last year for the first time, played 2 solid months. Was like a flashback in time for me, even staying up way past midnight glued to the screen. No other current MMO has recaptured that element for me. Unfortunately I let some friends talk me into giving another new MMO a try (Archeage) after a couple of months another MMO taking up hardrive space. Wanted to get back to Project99 but my files got currupted and never got around to reinstalling and replacing necessary files.

I have read that SOE is now Daybreak(something to that effect) and you have hammered out a friendly relationship to keep P99 going as far as legality. Do you think there will ever be a time that Project99 team will get to make a client available to download for free or at the very least maybe Daybreak would allow a purchasable client necessary to work with P99. I know I can get some friends to play P99 with me if the client was more accessible. Who knows if that was available would probably have to start a new server with a swarm of new players. I know I would like to start with everyone else, although the current player base have been awesome to me. Just would like to start new with everyone else. Wish I knew about P99 years ago!

Thanks!

How did you err...get those files?

Whatever you did, do it again. Reinstall <3

Always wonder if these threads are trolling/baiting.

[eqarigon]

I still have the files, reinstalling right now as a matter of fact. It would make it easier to get my friends and family on board and EQ fans in general that want to live EQ again if the titantium client was easier to access. I was just more curious than anything if that's on their agenda, a more accessible client or purchasable client in the future.

I like the eer.. thingy there Swish. Good as anyway to put it. :p

Yeah getting P1999 to work can sometimes be a real challenge but well worth the effort. Maybe between all your friends you can figure it out again. :cool:

[eqarigon]

I can figure it out, its trying to communicate this to less computer savy people in other states that I have trouble with lol. Its the eer part that's a issue with most...... ridicules prices on Ebay and Amazon!

Oh well, like I said before was curious if it was a future possibility.

Assuming the technologically impaired person bought EQ Titanium originally, throwing your install of it on a USB stick for them is probably legally sound...I'd check that to be sure :)

I always like to keep a backup of my legit eq directory on a flash drive! Just have to make a new shortcut when I do a fresh install .

It's not in the pipeline currently but it's possible to do so.

If daybreak was smart they would charge 9.99 for a copy of titanium and a link to p99 .

[DeadlyReza]

Would benifit the server so much if this was a thing

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

Installer requires you also install McAfee, has for past few years, so don't think this has to do with DBG.

Once you get EQ up and running just copy your EQ folder to a flash drive and pass it around like a 2 dollar whore.

I would agree, unfortunately they are not (smart) and that is why the festering sore that was their studio was cut from the Sony conglomerate.

And sorry to OP for off topic comment...

[joppykid]

Just Remote in and set it up for them. That's what I have to do for all of my friends from out of state haha.

I tried this on my sons computer today and it did not work. First few times I tried to run the "Launch titanium" and it kept coming back saying could not find eqgame. I later discovered that the eqgame file would disappear after first launch attempt.

Found some different instructions to make a shortcut of eqgames and change the target path but now I keep getting this app wont work on this pc error.

Did this as a test to see if I could get my friends and family started if i shared them the ready to go EQEmu file vs iso files and explaining how to install from a cd clone and all the other getting started files.

Why I go back to my original question, need a easier way to get this client for the average bear!

Just a FYI every time there's a new patch go to the home page of p99, click the red "getting started link" on the left and look for the latest patch v38 or w/e version it is. Download, copy and paste in your EQ folder- or extract it..
Several rl friends of mine struggled with this as well and yea it is kinda tedious. Nothing more disappointing then trying to log on and the damn game won't work

[Bboboo]

There's a free client already available.

[phacemeltar]

id like to see a client with dx11 pixel shaders

Mind pointing me in the right direction

It's in the getting started guide. Also just to throw a monkey wrench in here, you can use a different client than Titanium, you just have to do extra work that is not listed in the getting started guide so you are on your own to get something other than Titanium working.

I get the same error when I search the install directory for 'Launch Titanium' and click on the result. I don't the error when I manually click on 'Launch Titanium' in the install directory.

Turns out it was Norton causing all the trouble. Working now

I am almost convinced now that the term "anti-virus" for these programs is not some sort of protection rather its a statement of how they are the negative version of a virus like matter and anti-matter.
