Why be concerned with what everyone else has? I played my first character to 40 on this server with crap gear and had a ton of fun.

We are the same age, I was also born in 86 and started in 99 (maybe 2000 after Kunark dropped, I don't remember precisely), and I never got above level 50. I also had a ton of nice / expensive pixels. My point being, I'm not sure your classic experience is the same experience everyone else had.

Its the feel of the gameplay. If you tried to tank Seb king in full rusty you with a cleric in full TOV gear you would have a much different experience than with a tank in full TOV gear and cleric in rusty. Even more so with both players in full rusty. OR in this case everyone in full rusty (the whole group).

But your nice expensive pixels back then were probable FBR/Stein of moggok/Wurmslayer etc not FUNGI tunic, epic, Rod of Annihilation, JBB, Torpor 100% of class spells everytime you hit level, like it is now. right?

I didnt bring this post up to talk about my personal experiences it was a reflection, or how one can just "pretend like it was when it was classic" - When its already supposed to be classic...

Server was fun when everyone was praying for bronze drops and rolling on gladius' in unrest on their mains. Server is still fun when 2/3rds of your mistmoore group is wearing a fungi, just in a different way.

I am looking forward to the huge culture shock for the current populace when we get to play on a classic server that both resembles live in mechanics and population level, and the inevitable creative grouping opportunities that result of it.

I just play to play, I have OK gear for my level and everytime I save up a few 100 plat I pretty much blow it on ports. So Im just playing for the adventure, every now and then someone will offer me some old item they had for cheap or free, sometimes it's a little better and I buy it or take it.

I have a few packs full of some looted stuff I try to sell when Im running through EC, but I dont sit in EC I generall send an /auc once or twice while running through the zone and if someone wants to buy I sell., or if I see some gear piece at a price I can afford (which isnt much) Ill buy it.

But at the end of the day Im just hanging out killing stuff, exploring zones and enjoying the gameplay. To the point where I almost ran out of plat buying my level 22 spells.

They can't start a new server till they finish the first one. simple as that.

aka Blue/Red still have content updates to roll out.

tldr: did anyone find out what rusty armor or full rusty armor is?

Cloth? Raw-hide? Bronze?

Rust is iron oxide, formed when iron reacts with moisture and oxygen from it's environment.
Bronze contains no iron, it is an alloy of copper and tin (and a few other metals such as zinc, but these are usually minor additions, the major constituents do not vary) so cannot form rust.

Really do need to limit players to a single character and account though. This is a no boxing server after all. Shouldn't be able to juggle around toons for raids or groups. Just gotta have your one toon and no guild owned Mages or Clerics or necros. Just your main and that's it. Would be great.

That's not classic though

The thought of this ever happening if a new server ever launched is just wow 😮

Yeah everyone would be so pissed theyd quit playing

My brother got me playing in 2000 right around the time that Kunark dropped and really it isn't classic unless I'm looking over my brothers shoulder while he plays and then I play on my character for awhile and he gives me pointers about where I should go but then I was in high school at the time so I couldn't play as much as he could. 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

Holy fuck dude I know exactly what you are talking about

a new p99 server would never be anywhere near a true classic experience for one simple reason...

everyone knows nigh everything there is to know about everquest... at least a decent part of the population that plays and would play on such a server know everything about EQ the meta, how to do more with less... big difference in experiance
