Don't think I saw this mentioned but if you plan on playing on the same network, make sure you apply for an IP exemption as stated below. Can take up to a few months sometimes. Not sure how college campus's work, I could see you needing one if you are all at the same college as well as I believe it goes by Public IP. Guess that would depend on the college's infrastructure.

"Our servers will not allow you to log in multiple accounts from the same household / internet connection. Attempting to do so will be met with a Temporary IP Ban error.

If you genuinely have multiple people playing from the same connection, you are required to request an IP Exemption in the http://www.project1999.com/forums/fo...?f=25]Petition"

Well, back in 1999, we played on 386 computers w/dialup and were grateful.

LOl no you didn't.

386 was old and burred in 1994.
Even if you still had 386 in 99, you wouldn't even be able to load the game.

I played on P-2 450 with 64RAM and 8MB Video and it was OKish but not great. When Kunark came out it couldn't handle it, so I didn't play Iksar or even went to Kunark zones until I got a new PC a year later.
The absolute MIN I managed to get the game going was my friend's Celeron 300 with 16 ram and 4M video.

Modem wise 36k or 56K US Robotics was the norms for pretty long time.
