An Open Letter to the Developers of Project 1999

[Shrubwise]

I have been contemplating making this post for quite some time now. I kept putting it off because I simply could not stop playing on the server while my computer was turned on. However, I feel like now is the right time to make a post like this. Not only because it has been sitting in my head for far too long, but also because of the recent issues related to patches and gameplay.

First of all I want to say this: screw you.

Yes, screw you players who pollute these boards with demoralizing, non-constructive posts, from bitching about recent bugs related to patches, to tearing down the integrity of the developers and initiating conspiracy theories. I hope you realize that this server is hosted by other true lovers of the wonderful game that once was EverQuest, and are spending lots of their own time and money to make sure you can relive the experience.

For me personally, it takes me back to a time when I first began playing EverQuest. I was a chubby little 13 year old in middle school (I really wasn't so little; more just chubby) and I would scurry home, toss my backpack on the couch and get as many hours of gameplay in before Mom got home from work and kicked me off the household computer. Now I am reliving that scenario somewhat, 10 years later; as soon as I get home from work, I drop my car keys, kick off my work boots and load up the game. A lot has changed in 10 years, but not my love for the true Classic EverQuest Experience.

So this is it, devs. This is what I really want to say: you kick ass. I hope you know how many players truly appreciate what you do, the time you put into this project, and the fact that it is truly free. For every one person who is trying to tear it down; there will be 10 people to keep it going. We are behind you, and I know I don't speak just for myself when I pledge my loyalty, support and undying appreciation for all the time and money you pour into this server every day, every hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

YOU
GUYS
ROCK!
