Being this geared isn’t classic.

Yeah IIRC during Luclin the top guild was struggling on VT trash and my guild, which was second or third best guild on server, was still struggling on vindi with like 80 people. A lot of guilds did kunark dragons and other bosses but back then there was a gazillion guilds where like, getting a circlet of the falinkan was a serious undertaking. Basically RL friends messing around. Epics were getting more common but not many people were doing cutting edge raiding. P99 players are light years ahead of what live was for the same era.

Even though I was probably like 15-16 years old at the time, I remember feeling like my parents had wasted money when they bought Scars of Velious because I hardly ever went to the place, was still spending a lot of time in Sol B and Kunark dungeons. I remember vividly looting a Woven Shadow helmet and being super excited about it the night before Luclin launched, and then being excited how it had deer antlers on the new model! Looked completely different than before ! But that's pretty crazy because I was still raiding the Plane of Hate for actual upgrades... when Luclin launched, and I wasn't a small minority on my server. In fact, a lot of people considered me to be the best geared rogue on the server at the time.

I do know shortly after Luclin came out though I did finally start raiding in Velious as the top guild on our server started trying to do VT, leaving NTOV open and what not.

I don't think I bought Velious until Legacy of Ykesha was out. Definitely I didn't have it by PoP. If I wanted to kill creatures, orcs, gnolls, giants or eaten by a dragon in the snow I had the Halas area! And besides, the sub 40 game was where it was at.

I believe that nostalgia plays a crucial role in the enduring popularity of classic emulated servers like Project 1999. Given that many players return to these worlds to recapture their youth, what happens when the memories we cherish clash with the reality of our current gaming expectations? Are we risking the very essence of what made those experiences special by trying to recreate them in a modern context?
