Message Board Activity - P99 vs Sony

[Faisca]

I got the impression you won't be able to log into your old account in EQ Live unless you re-subscribe. I think the F2P model they announced is meant for new accounts only.

I think that EQ is turning F2P around march or so

[Deadmantis]

The "threat" to P99 population by EQlive going free to play has been brought up before. As others have mentioned in this thread, their F2P model sucks and in order to play your old characters you will need to resubscribe.

Besides all of that, did anyone else get to play there for free when Sony opened it's time locked progression servers, Fippy and Vulak? They tried to put a classic paint job on their milked out cash cow, and bring back old players. It did not work for me. It was there that I heard about P99. I never resubscribed as some others did, I came here instead.

This is as close to classic as you can get, and it really is free to play.

EQ has been dying since luclin. Although, it's been damn slow about it :P

I liked Luclin, minus the Vah Shir. Some of the zones n mobs I found really interesting. Like that swarmcaller n his mates and those floatie black guys. I think luclin fit into eq.

PoP on the other hand, portals, dye, instances, keying, aas. . . left that shite in protest,n never went back

No doubt that Iksar were the best add-on race, but Vah Shir were light years ahead of Frogloks and that weird dragonkin(?) type race. Frogloks particularly looked ridiculous, players wanted the old guk frogloks, not some weird special olympics variety....

Live EQ is v.bad.

Call me insane but I think PoP fit more into EQ than Luclin. Dyes, way high stat inflation and even more AA's being part of the snowball that destroyed the game for me.

The time locked servers sucked badly. I did not enjoy my time there. The low end zones rapidly became ghost towns. People "zerged" through content way too fast. Basically a d2 ladder race to get credit for first completion. Hated it. Ebayed titanium and deleted the live installs.

i know a guy who still play, a lot of ppl don't want to quit the game with all the time/marriage/kids/money they invested
