Project 1999 goes to Velious; that's it. As others have said, this project has been going on for eight years, and for eight years the staff has consistently (in every single instance) said that they will not be adding Luclin to Project 1999. They have also made it very clear that their goal is not to create the best MMOG possible, but to faithfully create "classic" (through Velious) Everquest. This means that when someone says "but ____ would make the server better" it falls on deaf ears, because they don't care about "better", only "classic".

Now, with all that being said, there is still some slight hope of AAs on P99. After the "green"/"recycle" server (aka the true goal of Project 1999) is released the team is considering adding custom content to blue. They have mentioned in the past that part of that custom content could include a way to get certain AA abilities in a non-traditional fashion.

For instance, while they'd still leave most AAs out the devs might bring back Cannabalize 5 for Shaman. To get it you wouldn't need AA experience: instead you'd need to complete some sort of epic quest. But that's just the basic idea that has been proposed: even having any custom content at all is uncertain (as far as I know at least), and having quest-based AAs is even less certain.

Not entirely true though. things like fte messages and 16 hr variance on raid mobs were *non classic* things added by devs to make this server better.
