Project Quarm - 1 Box Planes of Power

I'm all for any new server that offers something former EQ players can get on board with. There might be some underestimation of what is required on the CSR side of things to actually maintain the server ruleset as Secrets has proposed. Many volunteers may be required and managing that team is a hassle that devs typically don't like to do.

I have seen p99 devs and TAKP devs adequately address these CSR concerns on their servers. Most of the other servers I tried out have left a lot to be desired CSR wise.

If CSR isn't figured out, this server could go the route of other hyped out new servers in that it has a incredibly high initial population that peters out if CSR isn't handled well.

Good luck on Project Quarm and hopefully all the lessons learned along the way can lead to a success.

I'm going to be VERY picky about which CSRs we pick. Everything will be logged and audited fairly often. CSRs will only have access to investigate and recommend action, and temporarily act.

Permanent decisions are likely going to be put in front of my face, and we'll act on those once they're queued up. They'll likely only involve decisions like training, kill stealing, camp disputes, etc.

As for other CSR stuff:

There won't be an item reimbursement policy, and corpses won't be able to be recovered by a CSR. If we want to change that, it'll likely be automated - like Shadowrest-esque. In classic, I'm inclined to allow corpses to rot without a way to recover them. But come Luclin or PoP, I think we can revisit that.

I believe in you Secrets! Thanks for working on these awesome server concepts.

We're actually going back on the PoP book idea and...

Nexus and PoP will be available at the proper expansions. Not on launch.
Soulbinders will be removed on launch too.

Careful that doesn't break the classical tradeskilling paths per era.

Legacy items? Will they be in for launch and removed along the timeline?

Will this be the death of P99?!?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is so exciting!! Beast lords!!

What about class and race xp penalties? Are those active in era or removed?

Is there anywhere online where we can get news about the server? I'd like to keep an eye on it to see how it goes. I'd love to play, but cant because.. life reasons. So I'll probably play at one of the later expansion releases. I assume at some point there will eventually be a forum, or website with basic news / updates? Discord isn't really ideal for this purpose.

How are raids handled in luclin and pop? Is there dz instances or is everything fought for in open world?

It is kinda weird.

Some of the stuff is instance like (only you and your pals are let in) but only 1 of those ‘instances’ happen at a time.

PoTimeB eventually became an instance proper iirc.

Quarm is cool - all the gods do a fusion into a world dragon and you chop off its heads one by one.

What's most exciting to me is to see how the emu crowd with a 1 box server revolutionizes PoP raiding tactics. Maybe I'm naive but the things you see on p99 push the limits, most other server I've been on don't seem to do that the same way you see on p99.
