Before joining p99?

[jyaku]

what MMO(if any) were you playing before you joined p99?

i was playing UO on a private shard. i had gotten to a point where i had nowhere to go that i would'nt get PKed so i was pretty bored

[bufferofnewbies]

I came from EZ server (still play at times, good change of pace). Before that I was on SoD.

Before I started developing the server, I was playing Vanguard.

Then a few eqemu servers. (vztz, ckv, complexity).

[Itchybottom]

None. I was just logging in three times weekly on ProjectEQ to check the petitions, solve any problems, reset PERL qglobals if there was enough bitching about a particular spawn. And do my rounds to check for automated characters and geometry abuse.

The last MMO I actually played before-hand, was Star Trek Online. I actually bought myself, and two friends lifetime subscriptions. We all quit shortly after completing the released Borg content (raidisodes?) We were fighting a borg queen, all of us died but the science officer, and he proceeded to solo her. That was time to call it quits. I might have to install it, patch and soak up some trolling time on the trekkies (trekkers? whatever the christ) now that I'm thinking about it.

I was on a little MMO strike before p99 but I had played a ton of different ones since 2003 when I quit EQ. Lineage, EQ2, guild wars, warhammer online and most notably Vanguard. I played a lot of nwn1 on one of the persistent worlds until i found p99. Its funny that i found it here cause a friend of mine plays a UO shard and is obsessed as it was his first love in the MMO world and thats just the way it is with us humans, we experience that special feeling for something and we can't ever stop wanting it so being the jealous type and thinking that its unfair he should get his childhood MMO and I couldn't I went on the search over the interwebs and found p99. I instantly got an erection and started downloading/installing and havent looked back!

Sometimes though I do get the urge to crush people in PvP so i play nwn from time to time.

I wasn't playing anything immediately before starting p99, but a few years ago, I played on a private/pirated custom wow server for awhile. It was pretty good, but it was still wow in the end.

I played PEQ a bit, but was turned off by PoK and everything else, including the boxing. I got a druid solo to 30 or so (I think). never saw one person in oasis, and they called me a noob for not going to Paludal caverns = P

Played on WowScape, had the best legit (non donor) 70 rogue on their non donor gear normal exp server, wowlegion. WOTLK was really boring, same old shit kind of expansion, so I left that.

Didnt do much until I happened to stumble upon P99 on like Oct 6th or 7th I think, and I got in and the highest player was Galahad at 15 or so, and Black Burrow was filled with people. I basically almost cried haha

Didn't play much of anything except shooters for an hour a day until I found out about EQEMU from a friend and started on Clumsy's World back before P99 came out. I played and raided there for a couple months.
Then one day I got bored of it and found "Project 1999" in beta several months before release.
I decided to check it out and some cool GM named Aeolwind leveled me to 50 and I screwed around in Cazic-Thule for a week or so and did some testing on roamer spots and loot tables from named.
At the time there was no estimated launch date for p99, and less than 15 or so people were ever on at one time. So I disappeared from EQemu into the RL for a few months.
I checked it every few weeks until they finally posted the launch date for October, from there it was all impatiently waiting.

I played eq2, raided a lot.

Before P99:

EQ1 for...years upon years. Cleric in various raiding guilds, a tier or two behind LoS usually. One of my alts was actually in a better guild than my main, but they were pricks and I don't associate with that kind of garbage and left.

Then after that, I followed my guild to WoW beta and release as a whole guild. I got bored VERY quickly with ezmode MMO. I kept going back to it every 4-5 months out of lack of a good MMO replacement.

I've played pretty much every MMO out there that piqued my interest. EVE Online is the only other MMO I can say was any good since EQ, RO, and WoW. (all of which have totally viable private server versions that are on par with the "real" thing)

I still play RO with a crew of RL friends on a private low-rate server. I am now back in at P99 too.

WoW's new expansion may draw me back, looks interesting.
