Project 1999 - life after Velious? - Page 2

I think everything until (and including) POP was fine. I imagine eventually luclin will be released, there will probably just be a huge delay between velious and luclin, like 2016 or something [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Either that or just a reboot of the server, start from zero again with all the things they had to fix as we go already in place at reboot.

I doubt devs know at this point whats going to happen, its too far away to not need to worry about it. There are much more important things to worry about.

Honestly like maybe a year after velious if the dev team wants to, they release a ghost server like kunark beta and go thru pop for those who want to and use a /command to put ur char there

I see now that Kunark is almost released we need to feed on the next release lol...

EQ developers did something right! $$$

A few of the devs have been pretty outspoken about how much they disliked Luclin.

I personally didn't hate luclin, there were certainly some fun additions to the game with that expansion. That being said, I can't deny that some of the content (like alien life-forms)certainly stretched the EQ universe a tad much. And many people (myself not included) absolutely hated the bazaar. I for one don't think that the Nexus portals were a huge detriment to the game (since they still involved a 15 minute wait) but there is enough backlash to the idea of ever implementing it here that it's worth taking in to account.

Another idea that was tossed around many months ago was to do some semi-custom designs on pre-existing content. One I came up with was adding the Planes of Power to the original trilogy and completely bypassing Luclin and, what could possibly be the biggest downfall of Everquest, the Plane of Knowledge:

It was by no means a pefcect idea but there are quite a few people that would agree that PoP should have been the end of the EQ storyline. The main setback to it was how much it shrunk the game-world and made certain areas veritable ghost towns when they added a central zone with portals to nearly every place else.

PoP was just so epic that years from now when everything in Velious will have been done, it would be a shame to not have that ultimate raid heavy content there for everyone to "test their might" on.

(Just to be completely clear this was my idea, a fan fiction of sorts and is in no way officially endorsed by any of the Project 1999 staff as a possible future outcome to the server.)

The server will eventually become so dense with raid drama that it will collapse upon itself and become a black hole.

What EQ should have been.

As I've said before...this is the way EQ should have gone. Great ideas there guinea.

I like it. PoP was great too imo. Minus PoK, of course.

Donations mean server life....if you want help pay for the server and make sure it stays around longer, please do.

anyone who thinks luclin was awesome never camped the maidens eye shard, or got forced into tradeskills to make seru bane weapons, or got griefed in ssra (etc, etc, etc)
