When do we get project 2009?

[Tewaz]

You know you want it.

A brand new Blue Project1999 server built exactly like the 2009 version of the blue server we all know and love.

Targeting rings

Maps

Compass

Broken Whirl til you Hurl

Kunark launch event

The barrel barge flotilla

Chardok AoE

Name your favorite 2009 Blue server quirk that you miss from back in the day.

[Barik]

My favorite was when the mass retarded population didn’t know about it, when the population was around 2-300 people, when there was global ooc and the server community was actually really good. When the server was a little bit of a secret. I remember all the things you mentioned haha. Also remember this random dude in EC tunnel always spamming weird things about Andain.

[Tewaz]

Tunnel was so good. I wanted it to be NFP, but tunnel won out.

Remember the casinos?

[Barik]

Yes, I also remember the sweetheart gnome cleric Ninik would give you cookies n milk when she rezzed you, she also won the iksar egg!

[Tunabros]

love it when there was 1 guild that monopolized every raid target

good old days

I don't remember broken whirl to you hurl? What was the bug

Id do anything for an iksar egg on my dwarf warrior, I won something small on a gm event once, and hoped it was that but I think it was money or a regular item you can get.

Mage epic pets that enraged were amazing.

Very few level restrictions on epics

Succoring across WK by using port to sky before it opened.

Using frost pots in sky to leave and bank sky keys. (The script to delete the keys apparently only happened when you zoned into efp) Hammering or a pot ,forget which , also worked in VP for quite some time.

Using DA and closest proximity to hold agro on sky boss mobs.

Perma sneak/invis on sneak classes due to bug with order of using sneak/hide and invis. (Fun using cleric in VP train wars with rez box up)

Invis rings with 250+ charges

Invis pulling with calm resists

Watching platlord operate as richgirl (the preeminent tunnel mule)

Passing around mistwalker to every ranger and Druid when the pet never depopped. Druid = 4 rogues in classic. Made clearing hate and fear a breeze with our normal 15-25 raid size.

Taking any high level character (preferable one very easy to level) and killing it as fast as you can for a res timer on the most possible corpses. Then deleting that character and creating a hard to level hybrid using the same name. Log in at level 1 and mass rez the corpses. Gratz on your level 50+ ish new character. Worked a lot better once clerics got epics.

Trolling Uthgarrd with a guild news update of pictures of entire guild inside VP before it opened. Uthgard thinking we used our GM buddies threatened guild with suspension if we did not take it down. Pictures taken on a random emu server with GM rights.

GMs on speed dial

I don't remember broken whirl to you hurl? What was the bug

The "whirl to your hurl" bug related to the enchanter line of single target stuns. It will always stun to max duration even when mobs get it, which result in easy perma stun if it's not resisted.

As a result, enchanters will summon pet, get hit once by a mob, and perma stun the mob till it dies. Making mages with level 49 bugged earth pet (epic level hp i think) crying unfair.

Man I miss buying and selling accounts for platinum and cross server trading when Red was new.

[skipdog]

The main thing I miss is the ability to sell accounts to each other with platinum.

[Gustoo]

I was going to type a bunch of stuff that I miss but I'm just going to say I miss all that old stuff too.

[Foxplay]

The answer to your question is...

Never

Un-rooted dragons = your lazy and just ezmode
Chardok AE = your lazy and want ez exp

It all comes down to un classic changes made in the spirit of classic because hyper nerds take things too far

[Pint]

The only change we need reverted was the nerf to incarnadine bp, everything else can stay

[voydent]

ec tunnel casinos... please.....!

I’m remember doing cleric epic at lvl 1 back in 2012, and instantly being lvl 6 with epic (worn). Funny having people ask for rez’s but replying “sorry I’m lvl 6.”

Also sold 60 epic monk account for pp, sold a human mage account simply because a player ran by and liked the name of char (Donnavon) and asked if I’d sell char/name for pp. kinda nice to get a lot of pp after being tired of a char. Would do same now with an account or two if they still allowed it.

Was shocked when I found out our guild leader (Knight) sp. Iksar Sk was in fact platlord.

Shit was definitely the Wild West back in those days on blue.

I don’t miss The Mystical Order, that’s for sure tho.

since it might not be clear- it was the broken rogue super invis too, so only a handful of mobs in the game (kunark-era) could see you

and then we also have broken mask of the hunter-

skyfire AE before the stealth nerfs

72 hour raid mob spawn windows

no yellow text

mem blurring raid targets to insta-reset their hp to 100%

GM events and just GM presence in general

No one cares about those changes

Account BST (who the fuck was BOB anyways?)
Casinos (Casino guild, guy named Casino, Jawnie, others)

? mostly that.
