open beta testing for classic legit pve

[sarasi]

I have been looking for just this type of server play. as soon as I recieve my eq titanium in mail and get set up I will definately be there

All of us non script writers are testing quests at the moment. It seems like we are getting pretty close! Some of the outdoor zones need some tweaking too. So come on and help if you are willing and able!

Just an updated...

Server is coming along nicely,

Merchant/vendor list have been almost completely redone & fallen back to a more classic state.

Tons of quests have been fixed.

And the dragons & gods have been scripted back into their 1999 goodness, silly raider procs are for kids.

Ongoing work consists of quests, pathing, mob drops & general non-classicness crushing.

Stop by and say hi sometime! Or even better, log in and give a hand!!

feel free to stop by the forums at http://classicbetatest.guildlaunch.com

Thanks guys for your words of support

The server makes a lot of progress every day.. and I can't wait for it to be finished.

Still looking for:
- advice on source fixes for original game mechanics.. have compiled quite a list
- more perl scripters
- good classic info.. I know somewhere exists a dusty binder.. that has the spawn times of each zone. :P

New addition to the server.. original spell gems. Don't know of anywhere else these exist, but work has been done and we have some functional ones up.

Basically what this person said. I've been wanting this type of thing ever since I quit, which was shortly after Planes of Power. I'm so relieved to find a progression server that will *not* go past Velious. Classic EQ or Bust!

Can't wait to start playing and helping out!

Will this ever come out? I'm starting to think it will become like EQC...

[Clipz]

Hehe, yes it will I'm playing on this server atm and it's my favorite server by far!

I'm doing my best to help the people on this project with dungeons and raid zones/bosses. I'm trying out quests to make sure they work and stuff :P

Fixes are being done everyday

[Dibalamin]

We have some fixes going in behind the scenes at the moment. Yes, we will release, I'm still not going to give a time frame, cause that will only piss people off if we miss it. The dev team recently got bolstered by another member of the DB team, ClericGildina on our forums. Over 1200 db, quest, and other changes; With more to come shortly.

This may be an excrutiatingly long development time, but we are absolutely scouring everything to make it as classic as possible. As always, thanks to the kick ass testers we have & we appreciate your patience and interest & hope to see some of you online!

Keep your eyes peeled.

I am also interested in playing, but I can't locate you on the server list. What name is it under?
What alteration do we need to make to out client to play on your server?

Thanks

It is listed in the server list as "project 1999" and since it is alphabetical, it is quite low on the list.

As far as files needed to play on the server you will need to download the "spells_us.txt" and "dbstr_us.txt" in the Files section of our website.

You will also need to get the correct Nektolus and Lavastorm files which doesn't require downloading anything just following some directions, which are also stickied in the Files section of our website.

Source updates have been happening quicker than I can keep up the past few days. There is a great team on board at Project 1999 who are dedicated to making this project the best that they can. So as Dibalamin said, Keep your eyes peeled.
