How is it here? I'm looking to see what the old EQ1 was like,sense I came in late Luclin and never really got to enjoy all the aspects [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
It's very close to original ideology. P1999 has it's own differences from classic; Not needing to stare at spellbooks for starters. Leveling is slow here, although if your capable of soloing yellows/reds consistently you'd go up a lot faster than classes who can't.
@Graphics: Old spell graphics, old wolves/skellies are in! (Brown Skeleton pets are NOT in, however. /sadface)

Clerics are always in demand for rezzes; expect to get a lot of tells for buffs, and rezzes. some of them pay, some don't :-p
Necromancers are great soloers, and can easily handle reds in many situations. Due to their mana regen buffs, downtime is a lot less than say a wizard or a mage soloing.
Rangers, I can't comment on. I don't expect them to be able to solo well at all, unless you have tons and tons of arrows. Expect a slow level grind.

You need EQ Titanium, which is available from friends or....other places. You don't need a CD Key or anything like that to play here, just something to install the required files.
Although Titanium includes some files post Kunark/Velious, they're not used. We mainly require the client files from Titanium so that EQEmu has a standard communication protocol.

would you guys say luclin was partly classic or not even at all? i played original like a month after kunark came out, but only ran throuh like 6 zones back then to lvl, bb, great fay, cb then oasis of marr and blackburrow got like lvl 22 on a pally
then came back luclin, to get a guy to 25 before pop came out, but didnt get to 46 for like a year back then, i sorta feel luclins classic because you still have to port to the moon, i always felt anything before pop was classic

Luclin was...decently classic, but a twist from the things end-game that we're used to. Luclin changed graphics of things, added new player models, Alternative advancement..etc. All of those things are NOT in here. I don't forsee this server ever unlocking Luclin. Most people here feel Luclin is the expansion in which EQ Started to divert from the classic-like environment.
I personally loved Luclin, except for the graphics changes & VexThal raiding. AA was OKAY, but many expansions later it created a skewed environment for those who have AAs and those who don't. /dislike

If you want to come on board, the best starting areas for better grouping opportunities is probably Greater Faydark (elves/dwarves/gnomes), followed by Iksar Field of Bone.
(Be sure to read XP Penalties from the Wiki on classes/races. Some classes have -40% XP! This makes them somewhat less desirable for groups, as they slow the leveling of their groupmembers too... as a warning to you.)
Eastern Commons is the trading zone, as per old-schoolness.
Give it a shot if you can find Titanium anywhere
