"Relive the classic Everquest MMORPG Gaming Experience as it was in 1999 and onward. Project 1999 is a free to play Emulated Everquest Server giving Players the opportunity to experience Classic EQ Once again, currently in the Velious expansion and a max level of 60, with the look and feel of the old interface and several modifications making game mechanics similar to how the game used to be. Project 1999 is the best and most popular classic Everquest experience."

A real classic experience is more just than just "mechanics." Everquest's main experience relies in it's community. To get the classic experience requires a mix of mechanics and community.

I need to make a thread and take a poll at how many people would pass on a second fungi tunic like that. I would pass in a heart beat if I had just won one. If the majority votes they would keep it, then P99 is no longer a TRUE classic server.

/thread

I don't see anything that you quoted that indicates anything about the community and their expected behavior or of this being a "TRUE" classic server. In fact, the devs have long said not everything will be the same; sometimes by design. I actually see specifically sited points on mechanics and technical game aspects like the 'look and feel of the old interface' in your quote. You're still stuck on your perceived classic experience as being the de facto experience everyone else should be having or desire to have. This server is undoubtedly the closest thing to classic out there and rings true to a lot of what the classic experience was to a lot of people. Your idealized experience based on your sense of morality is not what this server is or is even expected to be by, what I think, is the majority that still play here. Many of us (again, 1000+) are still content with what this server has to offer. Not because it ever offered a "TRUE" classic server, but because, like the message you quoted said, this is 'the best and most popular classic Everquest experience.'

Passing on the second fungi is fine if you feel so inclined to do so, and I'm sure it would make you feel noble, but to think that an entire community is falling apart or should be condemned for not doing so only shows your ignorance and inflated sense of self. Putting /thread at the end of your poorly made point doesn't help either. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
