![]() So I have been playing here for a while and really enjoying the old school classic game again. I started a little late to the game only starting like a year ago. I found myself the other day wondering what the future holds since velious is out and this is the last expansion that is supposed to be released. I am a semi casual player that doesn't go from 1-max level in a couple weeks. I hear the raiding at the top is kinda locked up by a couple guilds so that doesn't make me want to to rush there. So like I said what does the future hold for Project 1999? Its at max level and max content unless something changes. Which to me makes it feel like a waste to level anymore to hit a dead end or wall after months of leveling.
With the TLP server opening over on live and locked raid instances I am finding myself thinking about switching. I have always loved the PoP, Luclin expansions and really want to experience that again. Anyways just food for thought not meant to be negative as like I said I really enjoy this classic everquest. | ||

![]() PoP was amazing, and probably the best expansion to EQ outside of Kunark. (and Kunark may very well be the best expansion ever made for any video game, ever).
Luclin, though... was shit. You might not know it, but if you thought about it for a few minutes, and then read these forums for 20-30 hours, you'd realize that. The live servers are even worse than Luclin. There is almost nothing about them that is even remotely challenging or nostalgic. They are so far from the Classic adventure that you think you remember that you will feel cheated and abused. P99 is without question the best representation of Everquest that exists in the universe. If you've only been playing casually for 1 year, you've got a hell of a lot longer time to go here. I played here for 3 years semi-hardcore and I still haven't started to exhaust the content. Have fun and hopefully see you around! | ||

![]() Ill give you that. Kunark and Luclin are amazing. I just wish we had PoP to look forward to it was a ground breaking expansion.
You are right there is nothing classic about the live servers even the TLP ones. They have all the new stuff and most of it is extremely annoying like advanced looting system drives me crazy. Not saying its better than project 1999 by any means. Just want to know why stop at velious and not just go ahead to PoP massive content there that will keep your player base active for years to come. | ||

![]() For me the live servers don't look attractive at all, i won't go back there. i will stay here for some more time and eventually migrate to something else... maybe to this:
http://www.pantheonmmo.com/ It's what Brad Mc Quaid is doing nowadays and while there were some problems with this early on i think they are on track again. | ||

![]() problem with live servers after playing p99 is it is like playing with game genie codes. You can train your grp with 4-5 red cons and no CC and take em down with no issues.

![]() I really thought Kunark/Velious/Luclin was when it was at its greatest.
Pop just killed it for me. (I Mained a wizzy) and honestly it felt like someone took my soul, when everyone could just Teleport by clicking the books. There is no need to Rush to 60 and raid your face into a wall. even if you get 60 casually, there is so much you can do, and go see. doesn't just have to be about raiding. | ||

Still after all these years of casual game play, I have a lvl 52 wizard, a lvl 9 paladin and a lvl 4 Shadowknight. I move slowly and I just enjoy the ride. After all patches and fixes come in the Velious era, Nilbog (I believe) might possibly a make custom content on another server, with charactrer copies possibly being allowed for that custom content. Just enjoy the ride and be patient [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

![]() PoP was hands down the best expansion.
Druids, Rangers and Wizards all filled way more crucial raid roles once their AAs and Focus effects allowed them to. PoK books are so minor and so limited. Teleports are still favorable mode of travel and their most valuable aspect was moving people out of a remote location not ferrying them to it. Can't click a PoK book in the bottom of Sebilis. You can get a TL or Group Port though.

![]() Recently moved to TLP phinny after being on p99 since the beginning.
Yes, some of the live changes make things ez mode. I do like a lot of the quality of life changes, and do not like others. However, the biggest change has been that I actually have something to look forward to and work towards, instead of getting my 6th alt to 60, and nothing to do after that. So, yeah, p99 classic is the best, but after you get to 60 you will slowly die inside. p99 not very challenging when most have been here 5+ years, and their twinks have fungi's and other goodies. Also, at least on TLP the RMT is out in the open, unlike P99 where a select few are reaping in the cash. | ||
