    So friends of mind told me about this and it looks kind of interesting. Anyone have any feedback for Everquest? I think it's like the base game and 1 expansion or something like that. I heard it's all a grind, which is kind of lame but it could be fun. Thoughts?

    The old, old Everquest (original-Velious) was brutal shit. Part of that was game mechanics, part of that was how part of the game was incomplete and Verant (later SOE) staff and GMs were incompetent.

    It was pretty grindy. Most classes required groups, and even then if your class wasn't decent, you were screwed unless you had contacts. Raid targets made FFXI HNM camps look like Candy Land

    I've been playing P1999 off and on. Playing a Wizard, soloing here and there. I don't plan on doing any raiding. Tired of that shit.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    P99 is ok for nostalgic value if you really, really want to play Everquest, but it's pretty much run by a bunch of retards.

    Progression is garbage these days. Mostly because everyone runs SK HT teams since SOE refuses to scale HT back.

    It's like when AAs were unlocked for Luclin and every Wizard was running in teams, wrecking everything with Manaburn.

    ahh but this is a private server right? So they aren't locked into the way SOE does the progression.

    I love the concept way better than just creating a private server with vanilla EQ.

    It looks like their long term plan is to sort of replicate the entire progression sequence, including the fucked up shit that came from patch to patch. It IS the original EQ experience. They've released up to Kunark now. I don't know if they're going to stop after Velious, though, because a lot of people are anti-Luclin/Planes.

    They're playing out along the original Vision, which was OK in places, but really fucked up in other areas.

    And avelle is right, at times the people running it can be a bunch of tards.
