There is a very clear step by step guide on the project1999 website to help you with the replacing of files needed to play.

To answer your question. Yes you need to reinstall the game to avoid any problems.

Server will be going live at 630pm Eastern time, AKA 24 minutes. Hope to see you there.

Meh, I'll give it a try when it's a bit more stable. It's hard to get into and when I do I get booted everytime I zone.

Total shock 100+ online more couldn't even get on due to ISP limitations It might level out after a few days but all and all an awesome and highly successful launch. I really like the no multi-box rule makes people interact. It was almost like the first days of EQ live.

Yeah except it wasn't like live because it had 2000 less players and you were unable to zone without disconnecting every single time.

Awesome server (NOT)

You obviously didn't play "live" at launch then..

Many professional MMOs have had the same problem at launch (EQ and WoW are two great examples). I wouldn't spend an extra $1000 on hardware just to please people for the first week of the server's life.

edit: Check back in a week or two and see how the server's handling the load then.

Great server, Little laggy at times but thats understandable. Just can't play my best class of a warrior without a duel box :( I am just one of them people who like to level by them selfs to 50 kinda sad lol.

Well yeah this server is really promoting people to group together to even survive, sadly so many people don't even know how to ask a perfect stranger to group up they're so used to boxing.

Lag is understandable, you need a server to get funds, and need funds to get a server with good population. Hopefully it all matches up just right for you.

If your server doesn't have critics you're probably doing something wrong. :)

Just loaded this up to briefly check it out. My wife and I will be playing later tonight. we can't wait to try it out. now to decide what class to make as i want to do something totally different than when i played live. I'm looking forward to the slow exp and the enjoyment of playing the game without focusing only on being max level.

outstanding work!!

Thanks for the understanding guys.. I've had hundreds of people consistently trying to log on. I didn't know it would be this successful at launch.. so I'm trying to catch up with the demand.

This lag monster will be defeated!

Cheers
 

Where many have come before and failed - bogged down in development here or there - this server has overcome and continues to face the challenges.
Considering these epic challenges and the number of projects that have been grounded (many permanently) it is amazing to watch this server flourish and grow. The lag monster - the next greatest challenge this server shall have to address, may grow as the news of the success of the server grows. A great community has gathered and begun to rise from the ashes of a 16 expansion epic fail. I am both excited to be part of this community and support it's development.

Nilbog, I sent you a PM, from 'vilesyntax' on your forums (I think? lol). Those forums are pretty confusing... let me know if you got it.

Yup, responded a few minutes ago. Sorry, I'm currently getting enough PMs I wish I had a secretary :D

Got it... and I emailed your other dev.

server running on new temporary fast host, log in and see what you think!

No lag, zone in seconds...definitely great.

I hate all of you, this WHOLE weekend ive been going nuts, itching to play and I read this new no-lag post. I pray to god my discs come in the mail this Monday!!!

looks like this server has finaly proved false a long standing fear, that there is not enough people on Emu, to make server without multy-boxers!

Grats on getting 90+ REAL people on first night!

Im jealous too ... my discs are in the mail though ... this will be my first EQemu server

Topped 158 single players I believe...I've played EQ and Emu alot. Minus a few tards showing up every now and then in /ooc this is the funnest and best server in my opinion. Its a true challenge. Also kinda strange with only single boxing minus SK/Ranger people are playing what they want to and its pretty evened out.

Random Thoughts as they took it down for 15mins to fix something (i cant wait till its back up)

I was only able to play for a short amount of time so far as i've been trying to get all the necessary files in place. First off, I love this server. Some of the chat from people figuring out just how far they have to travel now to get anywhere is too funny. I am not sure if those out there waiting for titanium disks have SoF or not but that is what I use at the moment until i can find some very very cheap titanium disks. I don't know what issues the different client has, but I am able to play though a little buggy.

I was unable to play during the beta because of available time but it looks like it's time to make a new install so I can play on the server.

Did a bit of Beta testing and enjoyed the server.

Was unable to log in on Monday, but have been playing since Monday. GREAT SERVER!!

Just ordered the Titanium disks tonight...
I haven't played everquest since Luclin was released. I cant wait to be a noob again!

So you'll be playing forever cause luclin will never be released! :shock:

SPark
 

Well, you have sparked my interest again for EQ. I will be taking a look at this one, and tooling around on it. See you in game.

Haha, I guess I should clarify. I quit original EQ when luclin was released. Didn't like all the changes that were happening. So this server will be exactly what i'm looking for!

Exactly =D

People over at EQclassic.org are complaining you stole their code or something.... what is that about lol?

They had a closed source project for the most part. Some folks wanted us to colab on the DB, but we were a bit ingrained in what we were doing to even consider splitting efforts.

We weren't part of it and as such would have had no chance to even see the source code much less steal it. Since Yeahlight has released their source; we have it, but we've always worked strictly with the Titanium client. We talked, generally at least monthly with some of their dev's, but trying to steal another projects source? Especially that source would be asinine. We'd have spent another year in development and I'd have committed suicide.

At one point we needed source help, but Ladoth found us and salvation and righteousness followed.

But, like I said, we knew folks on the project but never actively participated. And there are some folks from their project that can attest to that. I'm leaving them nameless out of respect to their privacy.

We never said that. It's a couple of OLDER developers on EQClassic, NOT any of the present developers on Project1999, nor any of the past developers.

If anything, we welcome a project like this because it shows a large following for a classic server. At least I do.

I hope to see you all soon! My boyfriend and I are just waiting for Titanium to get here. We think they might be walking it here and may have been attacked by orcs though...


P.S. Although that does give me time to work on my banner for the contest!

I just want to get the official word from somebody here.

Will the Secrets of Faydwer clientwork on this server?

This is the server I want to be when my disks arrive in the mail partially for true nostalgia of the original game but also because the server is still so new. I wan't time to catch up!!!

Please, please tell me SOF works fine and that I don't have to wait another week to get Titanium disks.....

Oh by the way, how if the Enchanter scene looking on the server?

That was my original main character and despite the chance of starting anew I don't think this old dog wants to learn any new tricks. But if if there is a serious shortage of another class on the server I would rather be useful than a clone.

Oh, and are there enough people playing the evil races???

I'm so damn excited!!!

They have forums: http://classicbetatest.guildlaunch.c....php?gid=62867
Pretty good player base, there's a lot of little annoyances but some are good. Some however (in my opinion) are crippling the melee player base, but who knows, we'll see what happens in the end.

I have seen several chanters. I think there is a lack of evil races due to the penalty on Ogre/Troll, but I have seen some. I would say if you want to be a DE enchanter you will not be a clone or in the majority at all.

Will the Secrets Of Faydwer client work with this server?

yes it will

It has some random issues, such as don't use their spellfile they tell you to use... It's not compatible with SoF. Keep to your old one. (However, don't trust the level of spells on SoF file, remember back to old days)~
If you do use their spellfile in SoF, you'll get a "can't cast on target" sort of error.

Seems freeport mobs come up as humans instead of bats.
Some advantages of it though are.. You can use maps on every zone, while titanium only in newb zones. you can use luclin models too if you want.

Every time you attack if you have mana, you may see your mana decrease on soF. (it's an update bug with how they tweaked stamina drain, mana isn't really going down).
Max mana if you go a hybrid may come up as 64% on SoF. (They can't get max mana).

So yeah, SOF isn't supported... but.. it works. XD
