When are they going to announce that with the new server they will have someone be your 'brother' and get you hooked on the game but I also want them to mind wipe me so I don't know what to expect like back in 2000 so I can run my troll warrior to Freeport on the suggestion of my brother and get freaked out by the huge spiders in south ro when i'm only level 4 trying to make it through. the giant spiders sometimes ruin the immersion though because of course if you see spiders in real life you realize they can't get that big and you can just step on them and they aren't as big a threat unless they are one of the venomous spiders in the world and you don't see them coming. I guess I would have to agree about not starting in Kunark but I think they shouldn't give in to peer pressure and go all the way to planes of power. Why

Circa 2000 I would go over my buddy's house and watch his brother raid while we pounded some brewskis. He had a pimped out wizard I remember thinking was so cool. I was a true noob at that time. He was also inhaling lots of marijuana and opium. In that respect this place has remained pretty classic.

The first time you play P99 .... it is totally classic. You start a new character, you have 0pp, you have no friends (unless you are starting P99 and have friends who give you shit, i.e. not classic)

Your first character should be total classic experience.... I play my cleric this way. I am lvl 57 after 3 years on this server, I take 4-5month breaks every so often and come back when I Feel like diving back in. My cleric has like 14k plat, missing tons of spells, lucky enough to get some thurg gear out of a kael raid..... then I can twink some other characters if I want, but that toon is classic to a tee.

Just my 2 cents.

Will it be classic when the new server gets to the same point?

well ideally we would be here without the server being ruined by toon sales fueling a toxic raid scene and a million years of kunark so likely yes it would be much closer than what we currently have

if anyone can't compromise what's currently available just wait until what you want is

Yes and no. The classic timeline will mean that Kunark only lasts a year (or however long it lasted on live). You won't have everyone and their brother wearing a fungi because there won't even be that many on the entire server when Velious comes out.

But at the same time, this is the P99 crowd. People will be using the commons cap, midnight mallets, OT hammers, etc. as soon as they are released. And the neckbeards of the server will be farming manastones and such the moment it's possible for a human to level to 50 (3 days after launch?). So in that sense the cat is out of the bag and we will never have an experience truly like classic ... unless Pantheon or some other new game provides it.

Loramin its "dont let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out" If your gunna use it at least use it right dude.


IF you honestly thin this server is just fine as it is as "a classic experience" you dont know what the fuck classic was like.

This hit you right in feels huh dude? haha Not afraid to voice my opinion. I feel its not classic and would like a more classic server. You think that makes me entitled and ungrateful? Meh, thats your opinion.

That is my opinion, and I had no problem sharing with you.

I never said that. What I said was that you claimed to want one thing: classic EverQuest without the current economy/playerbase with lots of equipment. Bob told you exactly how to get that: join Aud Laud Syne (or however you spell it, I can never remember). People in that guild trade with each other (creating a classic economy) play with each other (no "everyone in my group has a fungi") and otherwise offer exactly what you're looking for.

But instead of saying hey 13 staff members, thanks for making this almost perfectly accurate re-creation of the classic EverQuest mechanics, and thanks Bob for showing me how I can play exactly the game i want to play, you responded with "I must have things the way I want them, which means other people can't have toys that I don't have, so gimme a new server".

Again, GTFO.
