Daybreak just released 2 new time-locked progression servers (they start with classic EQ then release a new expansion every 6 months or so)

Just found out about it yesterday, restarting my old account and gonna live like a 17 year old again. Maybe put on some Ranma 1/2 too.

Any old EQ players out there?

Why not just play Project1999?

This

The new servers are just gated content with a lot of the new stuff.


Also velious soon. It had to be delayed because daybreak didn't want it killing their server. But daybreak also gave project 1999 legitimacy and they signed some legal mumbo jumbo letting p1999 stick around forever.

This isnt how it was back then, even without exp potions leveling is pretty fucking fast

>east and west commonlands are combined and just "commonlands", the tunnel feels so... shit, so huge, that shit aint right
>the devs allow multi-boxing
Lets stop the greentext for a moment and talk about multi-boxing. This kills the need for people to group, there are people right now 6boxing alts, 6 paid accounts running on one or two machines. You are not allowed in this group, you are not welcome in the area, that is just blocked off for however long the 6boxer wishes
>highest dps wins the target
This is another bullshit thing, either 6 buffed rogues can claim high HP targets for their guild, or 6 wizards for medium/low hp targets. Shadowknight HarmTouch is nerfed, only one SK can HT per 40 seconds or something

Sorry OP, I love classic everquest, leveled a bard to 60 on p99, leveled a paladin to 80 something back on live.. but Ragefire a shit, ragefire will always be a shit. Ragefire does not capture classic everquest at all. Next time I want my classic EQ fix, I will log back on P99 and sit afk unanonymous on my level 55 druid in EC to tease people. Oh, and
