Can we just agree

[derpcake2]

Nothing relevant about the server is classic.

Classic didn't have rotations. It didn't have boosted MR and specific (nerfs) rules for the fungi King camp.

I like the server and the people enabling it, but to state this server is anything near classic, while moving away from the spirit of classic (how about rogues stealing beads?) is a joke.

P1999 is a custom server and nothing else.

[starkind]

you should make a game that feels classic it would be a big hit

use vulkan api

thanks for the suggestion

i am gainfully employed, so I'll pass

[Whale biologist]

The rules are different but the content is very close to the same.

[derpcake2]

I'm not making the fat cash that the p1999 server is raking in, I'm just noticing how things aren't classic, and moving away from the concept of "classic EQ".

Looking forward to the ENCH CHA nerf, which will help a lot of people understand how the server is being lead.

Feels based posts, from people that have zero clue about old school EQ are the prime directive.

What's really not classic is quakes.

Remove quakes!

The original devs would have made most of the same, or similar, changes if time had permitted. Were newbies intended to be running around with their epics equipped? Not according to McQuaid. It isn't epic if the twink just destroyed their *sword to make room for the MQ. The list goes on.

This is as classic as it gets and that is due the playerbase. Disagree? Email what devs are still alive and get their thoughts on the matter. But there are still a lot of changes that could be made based on dev intentions which weren't implemented due to tech limitations at the time.

[starkind]

i want to add that back in like 2001 we had a stress test on test server with like 130 people in qeynos hills and the zones would crash and lag horribly

we actually have better server these days lol

[derpcake2]

I wonder how much more 'custom' adjustments will be made.

Slowing a shroom at seb camp is pretty trivial at 60 on live, but on p1999 it requires tash / malo.

Perhaps some kind of code can be made so players that solo get death touched instantly?

Anyway, I still like the custom EQ server, lets just not pretend it is anywhere near classic.

[derpcake2]

@nilbog can you detail the MR buff all shrooms near fungi king were given?

Lets not pretend this camp is anything remotely resembling classic.

Thanks in advance.

[Ennewi]

Your angry about highly resistant shrooms in Seb, meanwhile my guild just threw heaps of plat and lost hours of xp at a Sontalak that never existed in Velious. Do you see any of us making threads complaining about it? Nope. Because it presented a challenge that resembled aspects of classic.

[Ennewi]

*You're.

The devs also wished they could have implemented instances back then too. This server isn't even as close to classic as it gets. It's just an attempt at trying to be classic. You want an actual classic server that has mechanics and code closer to the way EQ actually was? Head over to TAKP.

[pogs4ever]

rotations is classic for several servers.

[cd288]

Found the guy who is salty about getting banned for stealing beads.

And citing things as they exist currently on live as evidence that P99 isn't classic? LOL

I do like that they ban offenders without hesitation or remorse there, but the multi-boxing is a major deterrent.

[Ennewi]

Never seen anything from the original devs suggesting this. Source?

[Ennewi]

Other than McQuaid saying he wanted select few instances in PRotF for epic type quests to further main storylines.

[Scalem]

I'll have to try and dig it up but it was basically one of them saying that they had wanted to instance some areas but the technology wasn't really available at the time. It was during an interview about WoW classic and their instanced raids.

[Scalem]

And by WoW Classic I mean original WoW back in 2004 not the most recent crap.

Who the fuck is this cunt?

Somebody that doesn’t have a fungi by the sound of things

[Tunabros]

doubt anyone who played eq in its classic got "fungis", "max level", "killed dragons"

from the looks of it, it was just a bunch of wood elf rangers who finally got level 36

halfway into shadows of luclin

That was me, except it was a wood elf rogue. People really underestimate how trivial the wiki makes this game.

Actually, our server had rotations, managed on a shared calendar between the top 2 or 3 guilds. At least until partway through Velious.

Tho I understand we were the exception, not the rule. It was actually pretty darn nice to never have to rush to a raid mob.

[Kohedron]

True, which makes it hilarious. Because YOU ALL think you're badass for playing "the gentleman's mmo", but in actuality you're playing a completely watered down version of a game that's not even hard anyway.

So get the mayonnaise out of your hair and log off.

Actually, rotations were server dependent. I was CSR in era and remember multiple servers that had guild agreed rotations.

As for other rules, well I'm sorry the staff came up with workarounds to keep people like you from monopolizing everything now that you have all the knowledge you didn't have during the classic era. Imagine being this upset over things on a private emulated server of a 22 year old game; you should just be thankful you get to play this for free at all.

I don't even raid.

Not everyone that cares about world hunger is starving, have you ever considered that?

I've had this account since p1999 launched and have never been banned or suspended.

Pretty sure staff is very happy with players like me.

Yeah I’m sure the unpaid volunteer staff are really happy with someone who criticizes them and/or their rules/policies.

classic absolutely did have rotations. Just because it didnt happen on your server doesnt mean it didnt happen. Rathe server had a rotation for quite a long time.

[Trexller]

What's really not classic is quakes.

Remove quakes!

quakes are meant to simulate the constant down time that live servers down. every 3 days something would break, servers down for hours, then back up, with every mob spawned.

what I wanna know is how they made the screen shake when an earthquake occurs...

Like, when the doom music kicks in, It makes you go, "OHHHH SHIIIIT ITS ON NOW BOYZZ"
