Noob questions from a 1999-2001 EQ player

[WhiskeyOctober]

Yes, it was a very long time ago the last time I was in the EQ world. Around the time Luclin came out, I wasn't that interested in EQ anymore. One of my biggest regrets too is that I didn't play on a red server when I did play EQ.

I have two questions about this project, but first, thanks for making it, if nothing else it provided some great memories I hadn't even thought about all these years.

1. How many people play on the server, and what is that player population like in comparison to the population densities of EQ servers back in 1999-2001? (to this day I still don't know how popular EQ 1 got...)

2. Is PvP available on it?

I apologize if these have been asked already. I browsed the PvP forum but I couldn't tell if this was an active feature or not as of yet with P99.

Easy question first, no PvP unless you turn in your book and go red. There is supposed to be a PvP server coming, check the PvP forum if you're interested.

I'm in the Eastern Time Zone and population is usually around 800 -1000 when I log on in the evening. In the morning it's more like 250-300. As I remember it EQ back in 1999 got pretty unstable when more than 2000 people logged on. We were up that high when Kunark launched in March.

I'd say the population density is pretty good and reminiscent of classic EQ. People know a lot more now so there's less wandering around and more competition for the good spots.

Thank you for the response.

Also, I am just now learning about the Titanium requirement...I went on amazon and there is literally -one- up there, and it's $100.

Any way to obtain this at a lower price?

I began to lose interest around the time that LoY was released, having said that it did have one of my favourite zones... "The Gulf of Gunthak" really did have a pirate feel to it, and I often went down low in the water looking for things.

On another reminiscent note, wasn't it the Fennin Ro population that were always whining about overcrowding? Was it them who planted the seeds of discontent that started new servers like Luclin/Lanys T'Vyl coming up? Did the server select screen show the amount of players on each server? Or did I dream it?

I started on Prexus because a short server name was the only way I'd remember where I was playing the last session [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] derp
