def remember group lvling in HH on live well into kunark

Hey Chortles!!! Polmex the sk Ogre! Big fan man I took a year off and just recently came back. How you been? Did you lvl to 60 in lower guk lol?!?!

Yea I agree with you and OP. All I see now is people running around killing and not even claiming camps half the time. I enjoy being in a group and holding a small camp. I play for the massive multiplayer experience, not the solo jerk.

hehe got 2nd necro to 60 in mostly kunark only
wb bud!

do split green

the split was the most authentic part of the green launch, hands down

the merge ruined it

having multiple communities on the same progressing timeline is what we played in 99-01, having a single extremely top-heavy server with guild to guild competition is nothing like classic at all

evidenced by the fact that servers that got so populated on live that they started competing were forcibly split by Verant into multiple servers -- so just because some people here got accustomed to poopsocking (also unclassic) variances for their raid mobs for 16-48 hours a week doesn't mean the 99% of the population that played actual everquest back in the day wants to play that way

it's sad that a loud minority of bored and toxic tryhards have ruined the actual classic experience of playing the game PvE rather than this ridiculous PvGvP (player versus guild versus petition) experience

You're right, solid point about co-progressing servers, but we know it won't happen.

Servers were split at 2,500 plus pop. Sorry that we don’t get that on p99.

I don't play/spend much time here, but was curious if there's a new server in the works and saw this thread searching forum for new info. Has there been any sort of news/announcement from devs concerning a new server?

1000 of those players weren't even fighting mobs probably just chilling at the entrance of a city chatting or going LD cause their mom picked up the phone while they were zoning for 3 minutes

If P99 was easier to "find" and install there'd be enough people around for 2 new servers imo.

I agree with Swish on the second point. If P99 didn't go through the other emulator forum and just had a single webpage with one file to click and download we would be waist high in live EQers and nostalgia casuals.

Imagine the site seeing tours through Freeport. "Yes that is poop on the ground. No don't go down that lane, that's the caster guild, those two NPC's will wreck you. Well then don't worship that evil god, now get in the sewers where you belong."
