the only thing i don't like about this is that they mentioned there may be augments in each expansion. this sounds like bullshit to me.

but ill still play there as the raiding scene will be much better than here hopefully

Also if I wanted to play a game were theres no penalty for death hardly or certain challenges diminished I would just go play some newer game were people die just to quick travel. EQ to me is about original mechanics of the game and about the classicness of it and what made EQ EQ. MMO's years ago were more hardcore and challenging aside from the handful on one hand I can count today. The Everquest of today is not the same and it sucks. The new mechanics are still there.

It's just like the time they put up the Discord FFA PvP server for a month, it was "classic content" with LDON camps and Adventure Stones (so you could port around the world using that,) as well as spells (like Breeze) which weren't in until Kunark, and even the spell levels were the newer version where you get spells every level as a caster as opposed to every 4....the list goes on and on.

SOE is all about the $$, and making the game harder in their eyes means; people won't play as long, therefore less $$ in their coffers. They look at WoW, see how easy it is and appealing to so many players, that there really is no reason for them to "devamp" EQ the way it's being done here, on P99. This is also true for almost every other MMO that has a private server counterpart, the closest thing to a classic server for any older MMO these days will always be made by fans for fans.

the point of the temporary COMPETITIVE PVP SERVER WITH PERMADEATH was not to recreate a "classic experience". This is not comparable in any way. Discord was one of the last good things i remember Sony doing, and shame on you for shitting on it.

I agree that Discord was one of the best things SOE ever did with the game, despite all the bs cheating and GMs not giving two shits about it. However, my point is; SOE's version of a classic server is not as classic as it sounds.

Alright ... LOTS of grouchy people on this thread...

I intend on playing... Sure the spell lists will not be classic... graphics not classic... and other stuff, but it seems like $OE has realized, FINALLY what the players really wanted. AND actually delivered. I feel if we don't support this server-- Live EQ will never make its way back to the good old days. If the Flippy Darkpaw Server is packed $OE might notice what a great game they had. Hell maybe they can take a different turn this time around...

IM IN ! Who wants to guild up on the new server? < P1999ers > hehe

BUMP this thread if ya wanta go live Feb 15 th. Ill be ready to go 24 hrs at least.

$OE FINALLY had there change a good while ago, and they blew there load. Have fun if thats what suits you to each his own. And another reason why I think they released in Feb. instead of March on the EQ anniversary is to pull players away from the Rift Beta thats hot and heavy from what I understand. Theres always a tactic with them. They could have spent that extra month tweaking the prog. servers. like ive said before..

$OE had 9 years to realize what a great game they had. They wanted to ram their cocks (51/50) down our throats instead of inviting back a HUGE base of players that wanted some type of classic experience. They can suck a dick and choke on a load. $15 a month, in my opinion, would be much better spent donating here. I'm mad, brew.

Fun Fact about Discord Server:

The winners were never given the "advertised" prize of having an item named after them!!!
