Wanting to return...

I tried the Agnarr server... UGH what a mess... to call that classic is a crime... that said are there still enough players to enjoy the game and level up? Can I still get groups and binds if I need to (assuming I cannot bind affinity.)

Also are there plans to make another server for those of us who wish to play past Velious? I ask becuase one of the big pulls for Agnarr is many wanted some content past Velious. However many of us did not realize how much the game would be messed with marketplace and whatnot nonsense.

-There is a very active playerbase. It is bloated at the top end but you will find new mains and alts running the whole spectrum 1-60. Groups/binds/etc are easy

-There are no plans for a server to go past velious through p99

Depends where you want a bind. Like if you want one in Qeynos you might be waiting a while. But other places, yeah, its np.

Seems to always be new players starting up, join Auld Lang Syne for a unique classic experience.

There will never be such a server (P99's top people feel passionately about Luclin). However there are other emulated servers out there that progress to Luclin and beyond ... they just don't have anywhere close to the number of players/historical acuracy/quality of staff that P99 has.

I have to wonder if Kunark didn't cause the same controversy considering it was released in 2000? Maybe it just took the right people no longer caring and enough people who wanted it to happen to make it so? I mean we are up to 2001 on this timeline and the server is advertised as

That's a ridiculous comment.

Population is overrated. I enjoy a smaller community.

Funny you misspelled accuracy haha

Most of the projects are a work in progress. I'm sure you will agree P99 has come a long way in the last 8 years - https://www.project1999.com/forums/f...r=desc&page=13

It didn't start out era accurate, that is for sure.

Do current projects have the longevity P99 does? Time will tell. P99 wasn't a guarantee, players just decided it was worth playing at the moment.

I believe he was referring to P99, which is correct.

Is it really an MMO without a sufficient player base?

By "at the moment" do you mean 8 years?

Oh right, I agree. It has been noted several times the AA code was ripped out and will never return. I guess I didn't read what he was quoting carefully enough.

Eh, it's all relative. Sufficient to have fun? Sufficient to fight over camps? Sufficient to support a trading economy?

By "the moment" I meant at the time someone started playing on the server. Eight years ago, or yesterday. No guarantees at any point. Sure, 8 years show it's not likely to shut down tomorrow, but will it always be up and running? Will a point come when it doesn't pay for itself to maintain? Will the admin start having families and need to give up this hobby? Will it be tomorrow?
