Quarm was resurrected, but now it is in Luclin.

Guild/PVP instances, bottleneck reduction, NG+, S/SF/HC modes are all still in game. Still allowed to have zeal.

Quarm was never intended to be what it's now forced to be. It lost its future in the agreement. Not only that, but knowing that so many things can never happen will demoralize the server.

NG+/S/SF/HC aren't much of a draw since they aren't fleshed out and don't offer you anything that you can't impose on yourself (and now they can never). It's basically just loot pinata TAKP without multiboxing now.

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out 6-9 months after it finally updates to planes of power, since I always felt a large contributor to its population was slow rolling classic->velious.

All I took from this was... quarm gets to have luclin. P99 devs.. luclin, lets go.

No body is losing a single thing tho. Those that are the class/race combos that are being removed, are getting a "free" NG+ to the race they want that will put them back to the level they were.

Cope more but PQ has all that p99 and more. Granted, some people dont want "more", and that is fine. For those that do PQ is another great safe home when its back up alongside p99 now. With more PvP on it, despite being a pve server, than all of red.

Why are you so sensitive? Who writes "cope more" in response to someone wondering if characters will be lost and saying that sucks for the people playing them? How is that even an applicable response? What a weirdo lol

PQ signed a legal agreement with Daybreak to operate? Did that just happen?

Aside from wasting your life playing on a Luclin/PoP server. Just that little thing.

One could say same thing about playing on a server that once you hit max lvl there is nothing but toxic raid environment. Forever stuck in Velious. People can enjoy multiple or different things. Its not all or nothing.

To each their own.

You seem to have zero idea what Quarm was supposed to be. The added races and one or two instances that are going away, was never what Quarm was about. They were just extra on top added after the server had been going.

I agree the ng s/sf/hc stuff isn't a main draw, it's just added content to what's already there for those who want. It's not intrusive (for the most part) and great for those who want to engage with it, while if you dont it's easy to ignore.

You say its draw was classic-velious, while most of the time I've heard people say they haven't started is because they have done that already on P99. They were waiting for luclin/pop to play for something new.

Yeah, PQ has a formal agreement similar to P99 now. Reason why it's still down is Secrets is coding to remove the custom content and have the non-raid luclin content ready to go.

Also, cope moar

Well, maybe I was mistaken to think Secrets' own idea of what it was supposed to be held more weight than yours.

Once you're bored of raiding, there's Solo/Duo/Trio challenges to do! Contribute any Velious related info you have here, so we can get all the MOBs into the most accurate tiers - https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=442002. I'll also start a thread for Kunark/Classic content in a bit. Also, play on Red server to avoid the rat race of Green/Blue - much faster exp (with better rewards for grouping) and content is more open.

That said, there's no amazing server to play on. All are flawed, because none are trying to build on what classic Everquest is supposed to be - a dynamic MMORPG. But at least with classic era emulation, it shows some of the pieces of how the game should be. It's worth playing, for awhile, for nostalgia or reference purposes. Whereas Luclin/PoP destroy the game world and look ugly and artificial. Just ick. It's brainrot and represents the evil, inhuman corporatization of the MMORPG genre. Don't support that!

Just your personal opinion, not an objective fact. I agree the Luclin PC models are atrocious, thankfully you don't have to use them on PQ to still benefit from having a mount (no speed but get the regen at least from what I understand).

How am I supporting "evil inhuman corporations" by playing an old, emulated server that is free? Also, it was made by the same company, so by extension you are supporting those things. You are just cherry picking because you happen to prefer a particular era.

i agree with Zura that the luclin + era zones were awful. gone were the days of nice straight-edges and they added a bunch of dumb lookin curvy hills (Dawnshroud ew)
