Hearing the name Eratani and Hasbinbad bring back memories....

Haven't heard HBB's name in ages. Same with Harrison. Wonder where they are now.

I like to think that HBB is out there torching cars and protesting something. Storm feather broke him. Rip sweet prince.

I vaguely recall that this particular board wasn't open right when P99 first started up and for a short period we were using a different forum that had a black color theme.

Maybe a section of the emu forums?

I recall the early days being a few hundred ppl from eqemu and eqclassic communities but maybe I'm being too generous. Global chat probably made it seems like there was more going on then there was.

Yeah, we used EQEmu forums during beta.

We left to our own forums right before official release I think, and forked completely from EQEmu sometime during Kunark iirc. Which turned out to be a very bad idea, as EQEmu went on to get some amazing Devs and right now the stock EQEmu code is more Classic than p99 codebase in many areas (combat, charm, channeling, loot tables, so on).

Not trolling. I haven't played any non-live version of EQ other than p99 in a long long time...is EQEmu actually this good now?

Indeed it is. This is largely because Torven joined the EQEmu staff.

Some Torven highlights

Charm, Lull

NPC Double Attack / Dual Wield (big one)

Melee Combat routines

Basically, if you log on stock EQEmu now, it's like a slap across the face how classic it feels compared to p99. Holy crap, NPCs equip their dropped items. Whoa, mobs have different delay per hand and don't quad every round. Statue doesn't quad at ALL unless he has two weapons. (due to his low level).

Sontalak with Exquisite fast weapons can quad, each weapon swings individually. Feshlak with his Staff can proc it. On and on.

Oh, and don't even get me started on Channeling. On p99 we've just come to accept casting with mobs beating us in the face. Yeah, no. Back to kiting and helping your groupmates.

It's fun.
