Project 1999 - Classic EverQuest

Hey all. I don't know if we've got any old EQ players here, but I've been playing on this server for months and it's the shit.
Sony ruined EverQuest by pumping out over 30 expansion packs for it. They changed the entire dynamic of the original game. This server is ORIGINAL EQ. No expansions, original game mechanics, original rules and programming -- far different than the pay to play progression servers offered by Sony.
Best of all, it's free! You can just download a torrent of EQ (read the instructions on the site for which version to download), patch up a few files, and you're good to go.
Also, on March 25 they're releasing Kunark to the server as it originally was. Eventually they'll release Velious, but they won't go farther than that.
I'm in the largest guild on the server -- called Peace Pipe (total stoner guild) and they're awesome. Weekly guild meeting with gear giveaways, weekly raids, very helpful people.
I'd like to see some Shroomery folks on there! I'm an officer in the guild so I can get you in right away if you'd like, and probably hook you up with a bit of powerleveling from my level 50 druid if I like ya

Yeah, it's awesome. The community feels just like the old school servers too. Lots of helpful people, plenty of camp stealing dicks, waiting lists for camps, guild squabbles....it's the shit.
When you get your characters all set up apply to the guild at http://peacepipeguild.com/ and send me a PM on here with your characters name and I'll fast track you into the guild.

Don't forget Star Wars Galaxies. I'm not gonna say it was a work of art when it came out in the first place, but it seemed like something that could easily be fixed with ongoing patches from the developers. Then Sony fired all of them for rushing the game for the deadline Sony gave them, hired some random new guys, fired them for their fucked-up attempt to fix the game they didn't develop, hired some random new guys, etc.
So it goes.

Ya, Sony doesn't do MMO well. Verant was great, though!

Well I might just have to try this one and re-download titanium again. I tried the other server that was modded and changed the game but it just didn't click for me.
Guess I will give the original one a chance.
Also any opinions on the best class for soloing so I can get my feet wet again.

not only that but to become a jedi was incredibly difficult. It finally got unlocked by someone and then after a bit sony made it so you could become a jedi hella quick.
and then it went downhill.

Probably necro or magician.
Ya, I didn't much enjoy the modded servers either. This one is totally solid, though.
It's really impressive cause they pretty much had to rewrite all the code since the stuff from the servers is so crazy different now. I can't freakin wait for Kunark to come out. Straight classic is cool, but it's definitely a little limiting.
Can't wait to run an iksar monk through Lake of Ill Omen!

Torrenting EQ Titanium now and I'll fuck with it tomorrow. I've never played EQ but miss older MMOs, see how this goes.
--------------------
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?
