Did Everquest pop your MMO cherry? Are you tired of WoW and its copycats dumbing down your MMO experience? Have you never played EQ but want to see what all the fuss is about? Do you sometimes have nightmares about running around naked trying to find your corpse in the middle of West Karana? Project 1999 is a free emulated Everquest server (run through eqemulator.org) that has been developed to recreate the original Everquest experience as accurately as possible. While Everquest is still around and things like progression servers still happen with some frequency, EQ is now full of changes and features that make it a completely different game from the one released in 1999. Project 1999 eliminates these features as much as possible and overall is the most accurate classic experience currently available. If later versions of EQ are your cup of tea check this thread for more info: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3472675 Project 1999 is a work in progress based off the Everquest Titanium client. There are some legal limitations for the developers, especially when it comes to modifying the client. The Vanilla-look client can't be hardcoded, though people have come up with UIs that make your client look Velious era, or even Vanilla-era to some degree. Also, there are some intentional differences, mostly ones designed to prevent faction/experience/plat grinding exploits, protect the economy, and keep the raid scene from getting too awful. There are a few weird/random things that aren't classic, but for the most part, the developers do a good job making things feel right. Project 1999 is a unique animal in the world of emulated servers as our new Russian overlords at Daybreak Games (formerly known as SOE) have officially recognized it as a non-profit fan server. This is great news as the lurking legal hammer and potential shutdown threat were always a concern for everyone inovlved. ARE THERE OTHER WEIRDOS LIKE ME WHO ACTUALLY PLAY THIS? The community of classic Everquest has been recreated to a large degree and most people are polite, friendly, and at least somewhat concerned with their character's reputation. Unfortunately, due to trends in contemporary games that give you whatever content you want on a silver (instanced) platter and the type of nerds this sort of game attracts, you will occasionally run into people who will attempt to bully, rules-lawyer, or grief you out of a camp or group. This is most noticeable at high-value item camps that are fairly easily soloable by lots of different classes, but is thankfully not a general problem. The endgame raiding scene is extremely competitive, much more so than most live servers, which has led to strained and at times openly hostile relationships between the various raiding guilds. Raid guild drama is pretty darn classic and this server has it in spades, both in game and on the forums. There are guilds that raid casually, though these guilds tend not to kill as many of the most desirable mobs. There are leveling guilds and community guilds as well if that's more your speed. Peak hours since the release of Velious have been roughly 1200-1400 characters online. Events like Double XP weekends have prompted 2000+ people to log in to P99 Blue. Due to strict policies against multi-boxing accounts, almost all characters are unique players, which greatly encourages grouping. There are plenty of opportunities to group at all levels if you get to the proper zones. If you need to figure out where to be, ask in the thread or do some /who all searches in game: '/w all 28 32' is good for finding people around level 30 for instance. CURRENT PROGRESSION (Jun 26, 2018): Velious + fifth post-Velious release update The server has been running publicly since Fall 2009. The plane of fear was introduced during the following winter. Hate was opened (with a Bloody Kithicor event) in Feb 2010, which was followed by the opening of the Temple of Solusek Ro and the first mid-level class armor sets, as well as the removal of dropped items like Rubicite, Manastone, Guise of the Deceiver, and Journeyman Boots (go here for a more complete list - JBoots are now a quest result of course). The Plane of Sky and The Hole were made available later in 2010. In the spring of 2011, Kunark was released, and not long after some drops were removed (check the above link for details). Late in 2011 Veeshan's Peak was opened and the original class Epic Quests were implemented. Kunark purgatory then ensued for almost 4 years and is, at long last, finally over. Velious is here along with several updates: Class XP penalties, including that pesky hybrid penalty, are now gone! Root and snare can once again play nice together! Planar revamps to Hate and Fear that include some minibosses are in. And the Sleeper has been awoken already on both servers! Items like Holgresh Elder Beads and Circlet of Shadow no longer drop. There's many rumours about what will happen to the server once progression catches up with Luclin (the first non-classic expansion) but nothing has been confirmed by anyone who actually has a say in the future of the project (nilbog, Rogean). MY MASOCHISTIC NOSTALGIA IS TINGLING, WHERE DO I SIGN UP? The official getting started guide has instructions for both PC and Mac installations: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2651 ME AND THE PRIEST OF DISCORD ARE PALS, WHERE'S MY PVP? Project 1999 includes both a "blue" (PVE) server and a more recently released "red" (PVP) server. Both servers get the same progression updates at this point. Red runs at roughly 5-15% of the active population of P1999 Blue but has features like faster XP, a smaller player community, and global chat channels. EQ PVP, while pretty much universally acknowledged to be unbalanced and bad, also provides another incentive to be social and group up with people. The PVP is mostly +/- 4 levels so you don't have to be too concerned with high level ganking - twink ganking happens but is largely avoidable by grouping. Here's a post with more details about the PVP and other mechanics on Red: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148678 Many of the devs and GMs involved with P99 are committed to a stable and enjoyable PVP server, and there are long term plans for a racial/team PVP server, which may include an eventual merger of the current and new PVP servers. HEY I WANT TO BUY A CHARACTER SO I CAN 2-BOX MACROQUEST AND SHOWEQ! Project 1999 has strict policies regarding all of the above. Here's a rundown of some of the more common offenses and how they're handled.
If you want to play with people who share your IP address, you will need to apply for an IP exemption here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/announcement.php?f=25 Note: this can take a few weeks to go through. Also, if you do manage to score an exemption and use it to 2-box you will get caught and you will be banned (guides and GMs specifically monitor people with exemptions). CLASSIC and SERVER SPECIFIC RESOURCES You will be able to find some good item and quest info on current EQ fansites like Allakhazam, but some of it is wrong for P99's take on classic EQ. Official P99 Wiki: http://wiki.project1999.com - Your one-stop shop for classic EQ information: classes, races, items, mobs, guides, maps...it even has item pricing info though there are better resources for auction prices. There's also a Magelo-style feature that lets you put up a wiki page for your character and list their gear to be displayed graphically, like so:  Auction trackers - the official wiki has prices for many items on each individual item's page, but many of them are out of date or have been manipulated by the people who upload logs. I'd recommend this tracker instead: http://ahungry.com/eqauctions/. You can also check out the East Commonlands subforum on the P99 website. Maps - EQAtlas mirror: http://www.allakabor.com/eqatlas/atlas.html - EQ Map Preserve: http://www.steveprutz.com/eq/ There's also a really handy tool that Pilsner/Zliz wrote that is 100% confirmed OK to use on P99 and parses location data from your log file to update your position on an EQAtlas-style map in another window. It's available here: http://www.zlizeq.com/ZlizEQ_Projects-ZlizEQMap Class selection - A realistic look at choosing a class on P99 - slightly endgame skewed but mostly good info: http://wiki.project1999.com/Loraen%27s_Class_Selection_Guide Goon-written project 1999 FAQ: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1002 P1999/Everquest Beginner's Guide - very useful if you never played EQ during the classic era: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41480 EQ PVP Class Summary - trying to figure out which class to roll on Red?

with free pixels, just google Project 1999 RMT and you should find what you're looking for. Note to buyers: beware - if you end up getting caught you can lose your P99 character/items/plat and the seller will typically get to keep your dolla bills, other game currency, buttcoins, etc. I know exactly one person who managed to get his money back from a RMT that resulted in a ban.

Rogean posted:I wanted to make a post to let everyone know what to expect. We will be starting a launch event in the evening of that server's day. The event will last for a few hours. Unlike our Kunark launch event, which had a set amount of progress required and various defined steps, the Velious launch will be a consistent event lasting for an undefined amount of time (up to several hours).

lemonslol posted:So I have about a month and a half off of work, and then I start a really intensive graduate program. I have this idea I have a 19 shaman on this server from 2010, with some equipment. I really want to play a warrior though. Would it be possible to make a warrior sell off the gear on the shaman, and get to 60 in about a month of 10 hours of play a day? And then is it possible that once my that is all over that I could play only on two nights a week or whatever the raid night is and make decent progress towards being a main tank for big encounters? Making a warrior as your first character to 60 is going to be slow going, but if you're not dying all the time and being relatively productive, 10 hrs/day is plenty to take any class to 60 in a month. If you sit around LFG or get killed in bad groups a lot, you won't even get to level 50 in that time (and 51-60 takes as long or longer than 1-50). As far as getting involved in raid tanking, you probably won't have the time or money to get geared up much unless you get really lucky on drops in groups. So, you'll have to either join a more casual raid guild and hope to scrape drops or make friends with people in one of the higher end guilds and get them to help you gear up so you meet whatever minimum gear requirements there happen to be. Really, if you want to be important on raids right away in Velious, roll a cleric. Warrior is the most expensive class to make useful on a raid. You might also think about rolling on red as XP is way faster, there's guilds actively recruiting lower level players, and it seems like you've got a pretty limited time frame. Realtalk, though, you probably shouldn't make a plan to get super invested in one of the most addicting MMOs of all time right before you head to grad school. Just sayin'.

lemonslol posted:Someone in my guild told me that he got from 1-31 in 12 hours because he was twinked on a warrior. RMT is always happening but hundreds of people lose characters/accounts/plat/items every year. I know people who have gotten banned and also those who haven't. It's ultimately a matter of luck - if someone you are logged trading with ends up getting flagged or doing something obviously dumb, it's just a matter of whether or not the admins are  about it. All trades over a certain plat amount are flagged in a separate log and online guide/GM accounts get system messages about them as they happen. If there's an obvious throwaway character or a conspicuous lack of items or services involved you can bet that poo poo is going into the future-people-to-possibly-ban book.1-31 with nothing but twink gear is doable on Blue in that amount of time (assuming twinking is fungi, dragon haste, excellent weapons and some +hp accessory gear) but you have to be pretty knowledgeable about zones, mobs, XP quests, etc.. Most people waste tons of time because they don't know where to level efficiently or the places they can think of to go are overcamped. I did 1-49 on a mage with nothing but a Torch of Alna and 2 5/55 rings in under 30 hours (this is not doable now due to pet nerfs and the group-with-self bug getting fixed). If you have a PL available or are doing something like redwood wand or red/white dragon tooth shenanigans it can go quite a bit faster than that. That said, if you have starter gear on a warrior and aren't familiar with the good XP spots you're going to be lucky to get to level 10 in twelve hours.

This is a solid guide for a solo shaman on a budget: http://wiki.project1999.com/Evil_Shaman_Solo_Guide It's not going to be the fastest possible route as that dude prefers outdoor zones with easy kills that have low ZEMs, though the big advantage there is you aren't beholden to lovely groups, overcamped or trainy zones, or high risk camps that are hard to break. Gearwise on a shaman the only thing that matters much is whether you have a fungi/iksar BP, though a badass weapon and haste can help a lot all the way up depending on what you're killing (facetanking with slow while beating poo poo up is legit). Canni and regen at 24 make your max hp/mana less important for grinding out XP (still important for hard/long fights). aparmenideanmonad fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Aug 11, 2015 |

Ramulack posted:Would any goons on blue have experience kiting Renux from the rogue epic quest? I've done it plenty of times. Wiz is the best for this due to having snare + infinite click aggro in Staff of Temp Flux, but any class that can snare and hold aggro decently will do for a kite partner. Level 55+ is good to keep snare resists from getting too annoying but it can be done with a lower level partner as well if you're patient. People still do at least partial hate clears for epic drops off Maestro/Inny so that's going to be your best bet. Both hate and fear will get revamped eventually as that's a Velious Era change (happens before Luclin release) which will probably renew interest in the zones. Until then, there's no good reason to be up there as armor drops/quests in Velious are waaaay better.

Class penalties will be in for a bit yet, but they were removed during Velious so will probably be gone early next year at the latest. Race penalties will be staying AFAIK. More info on those: http://wiki.project1999.com/Game_Mechanics#Race.2FClass_Experience_Penalties The original Evac/Succour ________ line of spells have no requirements and are just fast casting group teleports. Traditionally, if you're grouping as a wiz/dru you would keep one loaded for when poo poo hit the fan (overpull, train, AFK healer, whatever). The Kunark era adds these types of spells for Skyfire (Winds of the North/Tishan's Relocation) and Emerald Jungle (Winds of the South/Markar's Relocation) with the added requirement that you must be inside a Kunark dungeon in order for them to work. Evacuate/Succour (level 57 wiz/dru) are group teleports to the designated safe spot in a zone (Necro 55 spell Levant does this also but just for the caster). This was originally the loc 0, 0 in many old world zones, but in a lot of zones it's somewhere nice and out of the way of mobs or the zone-in. Notably, it can be used to get across West Karana when you're heading to Qeynos. Here's a list of safe spots if you're interested: http://wiki.project1999.com/Travel_Guide#Evacuate_Locations iNteg posted:Hi yes, I need an appointment to hang out with you and drink copious amounts of beer. (also, to LAN with you, so we can play EQ together or dota or something)

And this phenomenon is why, when Luclin and AAXP showed up, I was like...WHAT THE gently caress WERE YOU THINKING DEVS. Anyone not in the XP group on Velious raids was often in the red and struggling to keep 60. Making me XP grind even more on top of a full raid schedule was just cruel.

Level reqs on procs (or clickies) aren't visible in game, no. They were originally discovered by trial and error and, obviously, we know all of them now. Item effects include everything from procs like Ykesha on a SSoY, to clickies like grim aura on a Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring, to worn effects like Haste on an FBSS. "Any slot" on a clicky item means that you can use it from inventory or when equipped. You just can't have it in a bag - it has to be in a normal inventory slot. This usually means you can use the clicky effect even if you aren't the appropriate race/class to wear the item. The WC gate on Leatherfoot Raider Skullcap is one such effect. DE Illusion on the original Guise of the Deceiver is another. "Must equip" means that you have to have the item equipped in order to use it, so you have to be the appropriate race/class in order to use the effect. The DE Illusion on Mask of Deception is like this so you must be a bard or rogue to use it. "Combat" means it's a proc and you have to be hitting stuff with it equipped for it to have a chance to go off. Higher Dex increases this chance. And even though you didn't ask about it "Worn" means that you have to be wearing the item for whatever effect it has to work (see Fungus Covered Scale Tunic vs. Fungus Covered Great Staff).

Yep, get dex and swing as often as you can - use something with low delay and get haste if possible. If you're bad enough that soloing with it is an issue then level in a group or just spend your lfg time beating on other people's mobs (but make sure you let them know you're practicing and not ksing so they don't freak out).

To remove aggro you can either zone or use one of several mechanics. Removing the offending illusion is not one of these. Neither is gating somewhere else in zone. Memblurring with enchanter spells, taking a Call of the Hero (will soon require a distance check to prevent people from abusing this to deaggro healers and DPS on Velious raids), accepting a rez spell, and Feigning Death and waiting long enough are some of the more common ways to ditch aggro.

Just worth mentioning, all races can bash using the 2H SK and Pal epics, so that decision doesn't matter much for the end-game. Ogre is the master SK min/max race because you don't get bashed while trying to FD off a herd of mobs or when casting your aggro/lifetap/etc. spells in combat. That said, my SK is a troll because it's my favorite old school model.

Ashenden posted:What is the difference between OOC and Shout on Blue? Practically, people use them for whatever they want. Auction is also zone-wide but typically reserved for buying and selling poo poo, though people will sometimes do this in OOC or shout as well, especially when trying to get a port or rez. Raid guilds who have a zone to themselves will often delegate the zone-wide channels for different types of communication: pulls, assist calls, heals, buffs, debuffs, etc. OOC and auction both used to be global on blue a long time ago when the server was new and pop was low and it was nice when there were <200 online. I used to make a lot of cash on my wizard doing solo XP or farming and taking port requests from anywhere in the world. Also, almost all trades were done at the NFP bank back then too because there was no need for the neutral area of EC tunnel in which to spam or read /auction. If it really is just junk-level items do a drop transfer in a secluded corner or ask a stranger.

Pathos posted:I've spent the last four or five hours getting everything for the Stein of Moggok. Now I've discovered I won't be able to go turn in the stuff in Ogguk but I'm probably KOS there. Is there a way for an Erudite without illusion spells to get in there to turn it in? Grinding rep (on what?) for hours? Getting someone else to cast it on me and booking it? Any ideas? The turn-in mob is on his own faction (Clurg) which can be raised, but it's hardly worth the effort for a stein. Ultimately, steins are pretty cheap to buy since it's easy for enchanters to do the quest at very low levels, so EC is pretty much the best route for any non-enchanter. If you really want to do it on your own, the previously mentioned shared wolf form or charm attempts would be your best bet. Clurg is level 40 so it's going to need to be a decently high level enc/bard if you go the charm route.

Yep, it's something you can get used to and use to your advantage if you deal with it enough (canni-dancing as a shaman, sitting to med during ticks while kiting/quadding), but you always have to leave a second or two of sitting time on each side of the tick to be sure you won't miss it. Having DOT dmg messages popping up in your client can help a lot as they get sent on ticks.

Ashenden posted:http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/19992002.php If you think that's cool, delve into the bug forums and try to figure out the non-obvious stuff like how AC works or when completely undocumented poo poo happens via archive.org viewable stuff. Or maybe log onto live and look up a bunch of mob locs during ring quests! It's the tip of the iceberg of getting involved in P99 dev poo poo!

Ashenden posted:Does a charge of the charm item cost less on blue? Or do people just farm the faction for it. The faction is doable as an evil race (30-35 turn-ins of 4x warbraids as a starting faction evil race to get to amiable) or someone with sneak if you haven't cratered it yet killing in KC/HS, but for most people 50+ it's less time consuming to farm up cash and buy a charge of puppet strings...or join a guild that will hook you up at recharge cost (around 1k iirc) rather than gouging you. e;fb

I hope it's worth it for that SOW sword bro!ChairmanMauzer posted:Any ideas where a couple 51 druids and a 54 monk can get some exp? Aggro or fear kiting anywhere would work. Anything else is going to take a lot of medding. Perma pits are probably the best XP for that level range assuming you guys know how to get down there and can avoid training yourselves repeatedly once you're there. KC is also a great place to aggro kite with easy druid pulls and lots of kiting room around the edges of the moat/front of the zone. You could do CS wyverns too but I assume those are camped out the rear end by quadders. Alternate plan: pick a druid to roll a shaman/enchanter and PL it up with the druid and monk. Then go camp whatever you want

Race XP penalties/bonuses are not removed during Velious and will likely never be touched on this server.

Yeah, no one will be AE kiting as a bard on discord...at least not for very long. It's gonna be single pulls from safe camps. All those boring rear end outdoor zones that no one but lazy AFK levelers go to will be full of guilds carefully grinding out levels and murdering anyone who looks at them sideways. EDIT: Dont get me wrong, there will be lots of fun to be had, but don't underestimate the ability of P99's spergiest to completely drain the fun out of a permadeath PVP server. aparmenideanmonad fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Sep 24, 2015 |

a real jerk posted:is there such thing as an everquest speedrun? obviously there's no real ending other than when you get bored, but I think you could define categories to race towards. Leveling happens too slowly to really be done like a traditional speedrun but small chunks of a level or a few lower levels could be done speedrun style. But when the fastest way to get from 1-10 is really going to be someone spam-turning-in items to a quest mob, it's really not very exciting. Clearing your way to a camp or mob target with a group or raid and killing it isn't really done much like a speedrun but it is at least somewhat interesting to watch and requires skill/knowledge of the game like a speedrun does. It also matters a lot (on blue at least) where you often don't get a shot at a mob if you aren't faster than the other guys.
