Winter is coming

Heres hoping that the hybrid penalty comes with the launch date, my bard has been stuck at 55 for over a year now.

Devs have stated that the removal of the hybrid exp penalty will not be active on launch, but will follow EQ live timeline of being changed a few months into Velious.

Welp... yeah. Back to ToR for more time then. "A few months after release" can mean up to a year or more since everything here is elongated.

Why? Why did I level another fucking hybrid this time around? Didnt I learn my god damn lesson from leveling a paladin on Bertox?

With the release of velious Please Tell me that will be the last expansion released!!! After that is when EQ went downhill. So to the Devs will this be the last expansion for Project 1999? Do you plan to add Shadows of luclin ever? I for one hope not!

I would listen to the last stream if i was you, they talked about that a lot. Cats on the moon will NEVER happen they said, but will most likely be adding custom content to the server such as new zone, new beastiary, new custom quest and the list can goes on! but that said, it will be later.

I wish they could add Jaggedpine at some point though, it is proper old world classic even though it came with Luclin.

Does this mean station cash is put on the back burner?

EQ's population did not peak in Velious so to say it went downhill is just 1 opinion. I personally consider classic progression to be the start of EQ till the end of PoP. With that said, its up to the server devs and they have stated that Velious is the end of classic, and anything after that will likely be custom content with classic in mind with a likely new server to start up years from now.

Mmm, during the height of PoP on my live server there were always groups and people in 'old world' zones like Splitpaw, Karnors, Kurns, Blackburrow, the Karanas, Ro AS WELL AS people xping in Paludal Caverns and some newer zones. The old world zones was actually more populous than MOST of the Luclin zones.

As there were no bard AoE kiting whatsoever, most outdoor Velious zones were fairly empty, while the dungeons like Velks and Crystal Caverns always were full of people. Btw, having bard AoE kiters in every outdoor zone is by far the most un-classical thing about P99, but its not a big concern for me personally

Variable Hot Zones could be a good way of getting people play in areas of P99 that are mostly shunned by the general population, but the Classic EQ Talibans will probably declare Jihad on me for saying this.
