I want to play project1999. What am I in for? It's the closest I could find to a non-pozzed MMO.
>>750589162Dead server with no players and the few who remain are autistic spergs who have played the game for thousands of hours and play with all these stupid notions about the game instead of just enjoying it like a reasonable being would.
>>750589162>closest I could find to a non-pozzed MMO.And yet it still has the average modern videogame female character.
>>750589162green has way more players, blue is a ghosttown.i'm suspecting that once the wow faggotry dies down the numbers will perk back up.
>>750589162oh, and also all trade is now done via discord (vs the EC tunnel, like God and man intended)it's kind of sad how much discord faggotry has gutted in game communication across the board.
>>750589162This might be the ugliest game i have ever seen.
>>750592076bruh. it's from 1998.i had to upgrade to a tnt32 video card to play it. over dial up. the fact that it even worked at all, and it was playable on a 56k modem way back then is a minor miracle.
>>750591442It was made in an era where having an intentionally ugly/fat character was funny. Nobody was pretending ogre females were beautiful.
I tried playing EQ, but couldn't get past the terrible UI. Having to type /hail just to speak to an NPC is the most outdated shit imaginable, and I love old RPGs. There are RPGs way older than EQ that have a much better UI experience.
>>750592621.. you literally just need to hit 'h'.
>>750592482>bruh. it's from 1998.Like Ocarina of Time, Haf Life, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, and Thief, all of which look significantly better.
>>750591495>green has way more players, blue is a ghosttown.Thats the problem, Green has long completed its cycle and its time to merge it into Blue as a singular server and restart a new p1999 run with a new server. Name it Azure or whatever. The end game stage of Everquest where its just raiding and everyone is max level was always aids, the game is best when everyone is scattershot across levels across the board. Though this time around I'd probably decomp/recomp/vibecode a new engine/UI that was compatible with the OG game and private server networking software thats existed for 20 years.
>>750589162I got up to 58. Had a lot of fun leveling but man, the raiding demands a lot of your time and some classes are way, way better than others. At 55+ soloing becomes crazy tedious for all but a few classes and it's hard to find camps. It was a lot more social than every other MMO I've played because you rely on other players for basically everything. It's also fun to mess around with some of the ancient mechanics like being able to bank in a city that hates you because there's a wall between you and the banker and you're considered indifferent when NPCs can't see you. You're in for a brutal but possibly fulfilling time.
>>750593058those were not multiplayer games designed to be patched over DIAL up.or an engine designed for other player characters... apples and oranges.
>>750589162you might like Asheron’s Call as well
>>750593329Yeah, I played a bunch back on liveIt used to be much, much easier to get a group in a place like velks or seb. Or marathon grinding sessions in lower guk..The downtime and social element is what made the game great. Also the lack of easy spoiler sites kept mcuh of the lore/discussion in game vs just googling. (allakhazam's existed, but it was nothing like the wikia shit we have now for new games. Lower guk for the first couple years of EQ was a mythical fantasy land.)
>>750589162there will never be anything in videogames like EC in the old EQ ever again
>>750593058>Like Ocarina of Time, Haf Life, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, and Thief, all of which look significantly better.OOT has maybe 10 NPC active at a single time. EQ had hundreds along with players.
>>750589162Do not be a pleb that uses a webmap.
>>750593590>there will never be anything in videogames like EC in the old EQ ever againI played on PvP servers so this never existed for me, every trade was guerilla mode hand offs right infront of a bank with paranoia wondering if it wasn't a trap that would get you killed somehow before you could bank the cash.
the updated models were such a disaster
>>750593160>restart a new p1999 run with a new serverNever happening. Daybreak has been cracking down on private servers for the past few years since there's no more new blood willing to try out a nearly 30-year old game and the only people left on TLP servers are krono farmers and the few true believers who'll be playing until they die. A fresh P99 would draw in more nostalgia fags than Daybreak will allow since they're not paying $15+ a month for the opportunity to grind.
>>750595990... I think it's now darkpaw games, and they've never given a fuck about P1999.(and the legit, live servers are completely F2P, same with eq2)and i recognize that background!RIP Keith.

>>750591442please don't talk shit about god (Rallos Zek) strongest warrior womenfrom a race that was so good at being shock troopers the other gods came together and cursed them to be stupid
>>750593160There's a project called Lantern that's been in the works forever but I think it's a full client and server rewrite.
>>750596907>Likely they're not doing anything since the official EQ launched some retarded version where you can multi or triple class and play solo, total fucking aids.They shut down THJ, took their ideas, then made their own version of it with a tranny in charge. Pretty funny actually.
>>750592076then you haven't seen monsters & memories yet
The gear you wear doesn't change your appearance like it does in World of Warcraft. Everquest 1999 is very barebones in a bad way not in a charming way.
>>750598352>The gear you wear doesn't change your appearance like it does in World of Warcraft. Everquest 1999 is very barebones in a bad way not in a charming way.Yes it does. It just applies textures overtop segments of the body since it wasnt possible to do actual armor floating on the body.
anyone checking out the adrullan playtest this coming sunday?
>>750599382The last flash test was more than enough to know that shit is going nowhere.
>>750599689okay.
>ask a question>get passive aggressive when someone answersOkay.
>>750589162I used to play a text based MMO that was like a post apocalyptic RPG with brutal violence and even rape. Sadly it was shut down a few years ago
>>750600023Who are you quoting?
Unpopular opinion:The game only got better with Luclin and onwards. Beastlords are great, AAs are a fucking must and new content and lore are nice too. Staying with "classic" era only is boring as fuck. It's worth to check it out to see how the game developed from the ground up but the later content is just much more fun and has more things to do.
>>750599382never heard of this game til now, on closer inspection the female characters need giant cube shaped breasts or it will fail
>>750599382Yes, abslolutely.Past two playtests were like a heroin for me.This time got two more friends to check it out with me. Gonna be rolling a bard.
>>750600735
>>750601406it has a chance
Its the original world of warcraft basically blizzard stole everything from everquest Prepare to group up and spend a lot of time meditating if you play a class that cant solo and farm well
