A Few Questions about P99 on Green

[Kaa]

Hey Everyone,

I wasn't sure where to post this so I posted it here, but feel free obviously to move it if this is the wrong place.

I've been playing and greatly enjoying P99 Green recently but I have a few questions about exactly what it is; apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I hope it hasn't.

I understand that Green is an 'EQ Emulator' but what exactly does that mean? Namely:

How was the server built? Does it read data from the official EQ servers? For example, will presently unsolved quests on EQ Live (I'm convinced there remain at least one or two) exist on P99 servers or not?

Secondly. How 'classic' is Green? I understand the server staff has taken great pains to make everything era-appropriate and I for one am extremely grateful for this. Have there been any decisions to deliberately make certain aspects non-classic?

Does the existence of manastones for example make raids (or soloing, or grouping...I'm not sure which) trivially easy (for people who own one) by comparison to how they were in 1999-2000? Were manastones removed from players' inventories when they were removed from the game back then, or left in the inventories of players fortunate enough to have them?

Lastly, is there any hope of getting the music fixed completely? I'm extremely grateful that the old/classic music plays at all, but there's some kind of bug where often it plays in two keys simultaneously or otherwise is discordant. I'm guessing this isn't fixable.

Again, I wasn't sure where to ask these questions, sorry for any noob questions here.

Best of luck and happy hunting, and THANK YOU for making and running this server!!
