Default old everquest alternative to eqemu

Heya

There was an p1999 alternative in the making like 10 years ago. It was the big "real" 1999 Everquest deal but the guys working on it were slower than the eqemu guys. They had a Roadmap where several Goals of the programming were already 100 % completed. I cant for the love of god remember the name of that website or the projects name. anyone remembers the name ?

I think you're referring to "eqclassic" which was gonna basically be p99 using the "trilogy" client, which was a physical packaged release of vanilla+kunark+velious that came out before luclin. But they had no codebase. I think that's roughly correct.

they actually had the trilogy client in a pretty workable state from the testing i was involved in and this was long enough ago that they actually got a C&D letter from sony that scared a couple of the devs off iirc
