Population on server

I was logging in last night and a thought occurred to me. How awesome would it be if all the people from all those other servers all came to 1999?! it would be like playing at launch all over again.

I would be very sad if all those people came here now. I still have some characters to level before Kunark. Once Kunark is out I welcome another few hundred new players. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh good Lord.

::Server Crashes or Lags::

"OMG VERANT IS SO STUPID"
"OMG I TOOK OFF WORK TO PLAY TODAY THANKS VERANT U SUCK"
"OMG WHEN WILL THE SERVER BE BACK UP THIS IS SO STUPID"

That's what I remember from big-release days - a bit of lag and maybe a few tech problems and nerds going ballistic because everything wasn't perfect.

lol those were the days.

Serious ups to the gms and devs here.. it's not even that p99 is so incredibly more stable than live was.. it's incredibly more stable than the other emus are, too. On some of the other servers it was pretty common to see up to 1/3 of a raid force LD during big fights, not the case here at all.

Thats my memory too...

I wish I could find it somewhere, but there was a cartoon that was circulated.. Was a dog, sitting on a desk, Variant logo in the background... and one of the guys in front of the desk, said 'Let me introduce our new mascott, Patches.. '

Ive searched high and low for the cartoon again.. but have not found it again in recent years.

It wouldn't be awesome. I think the word you are thinking of is awful.

all those people at once...server would crash...even now I have seen that once we get around 900 to 1000 players it sometimes gets a little choppy latency in EC...

but then again thats EC.....Server runs on donations to pay for bandwidth...of which I plan to do very soon, otherwise this wouldnt exist at all

This would be more likely if they knew how to run 2 different EQ installations. Right now I"m not sure exaclty how to run projectEQ AND project1999. I could probably find out if I tried. Maybe all I need to do is install it twice in different folders??? Maybe I'll try tomorrow.

This is interesting though. I would like to login periodically even though I wouldn't play actively (yet).
