Would you pay $14.99/month for a legacy server?

Imagine a server without boundaries. Seek glorious riches with like-minded Legacy players who are willing to shell out the monthly fee to be rid of the congestion of your Project 1999: Blue server.

Introducing Echoes of Greatness


Hosted via Project1999's source code & Titanium client.
Classic time-locked progression server: Classic, Kunark, and Velious
Boxing allowed: Up to 3 characters per player
Every subscription allows access to (1) loginserver account, meaning 3 game accounts per subscription (3 boxes per $14.99)
Blue ruleset





So, would you pay to play?

[GreldorEQ]

So, pay for TAKP?

nah.

nah.

TAKP isn't P99 :)

[Halox]

Boxing? F that.

[skarlorn]

No, because I already beat EQ on p99

^ Yup this. Got my High elf mask awhile ago. I'm just here for rogue / ranger tech support and to vent anger.

P99 uses EQEMU meaning they can never charge money. Already failed at the start of your post.
They would have to re-write the core and additional files. Daybreak can't just fire up p99 as-is and start charging for it.
Limit to 3 box, lol, live doesn't. Just more flawed logic. If money was involved they'd want as many $14.99's as possible.

Why don't you go make your own server instead of coming up with an ill-thought-out thread.

edit: There are loop holes to enable people to pay money. But given the current free alternatives fat chance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6KC0PAvJZw) convincing people.

such a loser post !

[Sillyturtle]

Fuck boxing. Ruins the entire point.

[Swish]

Boxing? F that.

Also there's no way P99 is releasing it's source code - look what happened when TAKP went open source? Mads got mad, started their own server and attracted some villainous types.

[LiQuid]

Boxing is as ruinous to the original spirit of EverQuest is as instancing is. If I wanted to play a single player MMO there are dozens of options out there that aren't EQ.

[Peacocky]

No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want boxing.

Nope I am happy with P99

Also fuck boxing.

Server chat: for all things related to Project 1999 and Classic EverQuest.

Also, I must admit that I made this post intending to ruffle some feathers but I am nothing short of delighted with the responses this far.

[Baler]

You're talking about another server and as you stated in the OP. It's hypothetical and just for kicks. That denotes off topic. Ps. I have no hard feelings towards you. I'm simply tired of seeing these threads showing up in server chat where they don't belong.

It causes unnecessary drama and confuses people who are not familiar with this community. When topics are lazily or unwittingly created in the wrong sub forum.

Dont click the thread and read it. Then post multiple times in said thread that gets you angry.

So, pay $45/month to box p99? /boggle

[Whirled]

No

[Rang]

Boxing is classic. QED.

[Samoht]

As of right now, votes are 85% no, 15% yes. Case closed.

[HippoNipple]

The only way boxing works is with PvP, specifically item loot, so people pay for having 3 chars up at once.

[username17]

Boxing would ruin it. After playing P99 for 7 years I'm too entitled to pay for an MMO.

[Yasi]

We have Agnarr, why would we want that?

Gotta go. Login to get them purplez from any camp I want.

[dafier]

If it were a separate server and didn't cost, almost all these fools that say no would make characters and probably play it much more than they play the P99 classic server, at least in the beginning.

On another note, how's the Tube? That crap is lame.

[Grizzled]

When you add a sub you have crossed the line into profiting on someone copyrighted material. Research the original sony versus emulator case. And start using common sense. and also research the WoW servers that got shut down when they charged a sub.

[kempoguy80]

After my brief experience on agnarr no I would not want to pay for a server that allows boxing. I would pay for a server like p99 that allowed for non game breaking legacy items on a store for a ton of plat (pre nerf guise) in an effort to regulate the economy.

[djvyhle]

blue is congested?

Can you imagine how much EC prices would come down if you could pay a million plat for a guise?

[azeth]

I suspect Sleeper will be respawned again at some point on here.

i don't.

sorry y'all. not sorry.

[Baler]

SLEEPER WILL BE REBORN MORE GLORIOUS (https://youtu.be/7OrLroFa0AI?t=33s) THAN EVER!
on a new server.

[fadetree]

I don't mind boxing. I wouldn't pay 45$, but I'd probably pay $15 for a 3 box limit Luclin/PoP server with the kind of support and ace devs that P99 and TAKP have.

[Swish]

TAKP is just that and is available now Mr Fadetree ^^

Or is the incentive the "fresh server" aspect?

[Rivera]

Its been brought up before. Guise vendor in EC. no takers. that's a shame.

instead of luclin they'll be adding custom content though after chardok revamp right? so maybe then.

[Jauna]

You lost me at boxing.

Rivera, when I saw your name it reminded me of something I was told a week or two ago. I was told you was that dialabum person as well. :D If that is true, that's a funny name/idea you created. Anything that gets Afeni/Tupakk rustled is great in my book. :p

Boxing? F that.

afeni is buddy buddy with some of the guides/mods, i called them out for showing favortism to him in an RNF thread.

just typical neckbeard politics. i pay it no mind lol.

[skarlorn]

well apparently you do pay it some mind if you keep enough tabs to know who an elf poster is friends with and if the political regime of the neckbeard server is playing favorites.

[Squabbles123]

No boxing, thanks.

Boxing would drive everyone away, except the few that wanna box, and they'd never group with anyone else, so its a select few people, who wanna box, just playing by themselves.

Why would anyone NOT boxing, wanna be involved with that? I certainly wouldn't.

You're just ASKING for Necro/Paladin/Shaman (or some variation of that combo) boxes that never need another player, so if they don't need anyone, why ever group with them? You wouldn't. So you just have maybe a handful of players, playing all alone, not interacting with others (maybe they'll trade with other boxers). Sounds fucking awful.

[Layne]

I'd pay 14.99 for a full dive VR p99. Get your science on and collect a check sir.

Unless they put a group XP bonus in like on red server... but how many classic features do you want to discard for the sake of making boxing palatable to people?

[RedXIII]

I dont have a ST key but sleeper is woke so I dont really care anymore.

Sounds like EQ beat you...

[Peacocky]

Funny you say that, I wish I was not there killing Sleeper in RZ since there was no loot dropped. Instead we all get a pathetic feeble 2 AA's.

That was the beginning downfall pay as you go greed.

lol @ all these people saying no because of boxing despite boxing being commonplace on this server

[Naerron]

i would pay 14.99 for a legacy server that was run by verant or someone similar and was 100% exactly the same as release. I bet they have that shit archived somewhere lol.
