Unless you are really into Luclin and PoP era, I wouldn't commit too much time in Quarm for a few reasons:

P99 exists as a time capsule up to the Velious Era, expansions after Velious introduced a lot of quality of life things like faster travel and a bazaar that killed a lot of player interaction which was necessary before, many players agree that it ruins the spirit and challenge of the original game. Also, while not a perfect recreation of "Classic EQ", it is the closest we will ever get and is officially endorsed by Daybreak as long as P99 never goes past the Velious server.

Quarm is not officially endorsed, it is not trying to be an accurate representation of "Classic EQ", and the main dev is a tranny. All these things add up to an unstable server that could be shut down at any moment imo. If you are cool with that then have fun.

Many P99 players burnt out on the classic era so they moved over to Quarm to try something new. This makes P99 pretty comfy right now since the population is much lower than Quarm and the attitude is less competitive, in a game like EQ where everything is on a timer and spawns are finite this is a great thing. Prices are also cheaper on P99 since everything has been farmed to death.

It will be hard to avoid the autism, you probably need a certain amount to enjoy a game like this in 2024, but generally my experience on P99 is mostly chill and people don't really care how you play as long as it doesn't get them killed. I would not recommend getting into raiding though, that's where the true autism begins.';

'EQ in the many forms it currently exists in is a great example of how community can make or break games like this. The ideal is Daybreak starts up another Mischief style TLP server because that was fun as Hell and the people were great, but EQ just melts down the further you get into the expansions. P99 was fun as well, but the community was WAY fucking worse. EQ is not a complicated game and you don't really need to do everything hyper-optimally. There is a wide band of performance that is "fine" in my opinion, but the people on P99 acted like if you weren't picking classes/race combos flawlessly and shit or anything similar, you may as well not even be playing. That's the total opposite of how EQ was designed. The fact Quarm has a tranny dev makes me really skeptical about it. Those people do really bad with power.';

'>tranny dev
I played at launch and the amount of drama the tranny actually creates is unreal. There was talk about the server shutting down back then, months later I’m shocked it’s still around. The tranny dev was also too busy dilating to fix the camera issue. Do yourself a favor and avoid quarm. It’s great on the surface level but the more you play it the more apparent how awful the dev actually is.';

>Luclin and PoP
I understand it's gonna take another year for the server to reach Luclin. I'll probably have lost interest and moved on by then.
>autism
I've come to realize I don't mind the autism that much. It seems mostly in the discord where people are just talking about the optimal play and shit. When actually playing, everyone seems "normal"
>unstable server
this is now my chief concern.

I used to play on P99. I think I have a level 20 druid there. I might go back there, because I'm really interested in leveling and questing in Velious (I originally quit shortly after Velious came out).
Plus I always thought it was retarded that Velious didn't raise the level cap. You're level 60 when Velious comes out, so there is nothing to do but camp mobs for quest items which is mind numbingly boring, and raiding.';

'If I was you I wouldn't commit my time to it. At least wait longer to see how the server does, I really doubt it'll be here long term.

>I've played EQ a bunch in 99, and I've always wanted to go back.
Well, if you know you liked it, go back? P99 is going to have a smaller pop and be more top heavy. Your call if that's good or bad but it's still there, worts and all.

these are the same retards who say "you don't have to use fast travel", but that's BS because quests in those games are designed with fast travel in mind. The devs are too lazy to add in other travel methods, so it's either sprinting across stretches of nothing, or fast travel.

But it doesn't matter, these people only care about their pixels and levels. They froth at the mouth at progression, and care nothing for immersion. They are little more than animals.';

'>>1157527
>to think its better when you and every one else is forced to do so
It's nice when everyone has a shared experience.
But I guess navigating is just a waste of time. If it impedes leveling, get rid of it. I'm surprised any EQ players still tolerates exp loss and corpse runs.

'>>1167430
Well. I dunno about that... I mean. The servers where multiboxing is forbidden and enforcement is tight, those often get very close. The main problem is when raid / group content can't be done due to low server population, if they don't rebalance content to make things soloable. EQ1 is an ancient game that has absolutely crippling and insufferable mechanical balance problems. Private servers that don't try to address that are just recreating an unplayable game. Wayfarer's soloability was pretty fun. If they rebalanced the epic 1.5 / 2.0 mobs and absolutely fucking banned multiboxing it'd be a much better server in terms of game design. After that, they'd need to kill the standard issue powertripping corrupt twats like that rotten cunt HR lady who was a mod for ages there. She probably still is. Fucking toxic as fuck.';

'>>1167430

I've had more fun playing most recently (blue, green, a few of the TLPs, quarm) than I did back 1999-2003.';

'>>1167590
Yes, but it's insufficient on its own. Original EQ1 like that has absolutely fucking crippling, insufferable balance problems. It's definitely necessary to have enforced single-box, to remove the bullshit easymode stuff, yes. But they need to address the class balance problems, too. Quarm simply does not have the political will nor technical ability nor manpower to do it.
For example, look at the population distribution by class. Druid, Necro and Enchanter are by HUGE margins the most common classes. Something like 1,200+ in each of them. Meanwhile, Mage, Cleric and Bard have like 700. And everyone else has like 300. And Wizard has less than 100. Let that sink in.
It's not like EQ1 is a secret anymore. No one is under any delusions about how fucking worthless trash Rogue and Warrior are. Particularly pre-Luclin. And you still wouldn't want to single-box them no matter what era. This isn't like it was back in the day when servers were jam packed with a thousand players at your level no matter what level you are. No no no.
And it's not like it would be difficult to make HUGE improvements to class balance just with some relatively minor and simple adjustments. A lot opens up with later-era content, that's true, but also forcing us to wait for those eras to see even the flaccid class balance tweaks that Verant implemented is fucking stupid.';

Rogues and wizards are fine, just group dependent. Both provide more than adequate DPS in groups and raids in every era, and get much better each expansion. Just because they can't solo doesn't mean they aren't viable. If you want to do it all, play a necro, shaman, or enchanter and enjoy all the additional complexities. Rogues and wizards have one focus, team up and shit out damage, and they are good at that. Mages are objectively better dps in classic, but that advantage disappears quickly in early Kunark. Ultimately, play what you want and have fun. The game doesn't need class equality anyway, otherwise it ends up like FFXIV where everything is the same just with different special effects and animations.';

'>>1170955
I don't think that's really a fair understanding of the problem. If there isn't any multiboxing (and no game / server that allows multiboxing should be tolerated), then that means you're playing that one specific character. Rogue. Wizard. Warrior. Whatever class you picked.
In a group environment, the developer might say (as you just did) "the group as a whole unit completes content just fine so what's the problem!" But that's not actually what the *players* are experiencing. They are not the group, they are just the Rogue. And their experience is just watching the chat log scroll up and waiting for someone else to put SoW on them or teleport them out of the dungeon or across the world so they can unload the three hundred pounds of trash to get a hundred plat from it. It's a garbage existence because you literally cannot actually decide to play the game: your ability to play is decided entirely by someone else. That's. Not. Fair. It's not balanced, of course, but it's profoundly toxic as well.
Players have a right to expect that their playstyle is supported and valid. Players have a right for their own decisions to determine their own experience. Players have a right for their experience to not be entirely determined by someone else's decisions.
And, *especially* in an RPG, players have a right to customize their avatar - if they don't want to play an Enchanter or Necromancer because it's not the aesthetic they want to inhabit, that's a valid and important choice. It is in fact the fundamental foundation of the entire fucking concept of the game's design.
EQ1 fails at that, especially in pre-Kunark.';

'>>1168454
Ohhhhh whoa whoa whoa.... Uhhhh, no, Velious was extremely tedious and fucking boring, that's true. But that's because Velious was basically nothing but hardcore raids for groups of like two hundred people or so, and its expansions of content and class balance changes was mostly restricted to level-capped uber-raid-geared players. This is a problem that PoP had, as well, but Luclin was a good expansion.
Luclin brought the bazaar which dramatically relieved soooooo much tedium and frustration involved in the game's main bullshit: the "economy". What I didn't like was that no-trade / no-drop / lore tags became so fucking common after Kunark.
The hyper-inflation of hitpoints, damage and especially resistances was a problem that noticeably ramped up in Velious and it only became wacky in late Luclin and ran completely off into insanity in the PoP era... but only in those zones. If you keep the quality of life and balance adjustments of Luclin / PoP but you just don't bother going to those zones until it's raid time, the game is dramatically better. Not perfect, but better. AAs was one of the most brilliant additions ever made to the game, but they should have been more robustly supported and available all along the way from level 5 and up.
Project Quarm isn't gonna go full-on customized mechanical design, and that's a shame. Wayfarer's is so much better in terms of design, but the problem is that it allows boxing. And that's a hard fucking no. Thus it has a population of maybe 30 people at peak times (ten of whom are neckbeards sitting afk to catch xp potions while they're at work).';

EQ1 was an absolute dumpsterfire of clumsy ad hoc chaos, amateur design mistakes, lack of content and hilariously outdated graphics and UI (even compared to 90's standards). Any server that tries to recreate that has also failed in the mandate of its opportunity. The community literally has the source code. If you want to live as a museum exhibit, play on P99.

it still informs all his other decision making (whining about users chatting among themselves using "slurs" - his tranny head admin does the same and both of them brag about banning users over it, not in the context of tickets or /ooc moderation either) and his mental state. for all my issues with p99 at least Rogaan and Nilbog are regular guys, there's a pretty low chance of them flying off the handle and doing something crazy due to being in their 30s and going through a second puberty or anything like that.

that video from awhile back from another tranny complaining he couldn't get other people banned because he didn't like their political opinions was pretty funny though. Secrets isn't that bad but as a general rule i avoid anything those people touch.';

We’ll start in The Shattered Lands era (no expansions unlocked), and you’ll get to experience the look and challenge of the classic world of Norrath. The seas have calmed enough for sea faring to resume, and you are plucked from the waters by none other than Captain Varlos. Soon you will find yourself on an island and then given passage to your racial neighborhoods in Qeynos or Freeport. Systems will seem less complex, stats and gameplay will be reflective of the 2006 era, and there will be more focus on grouping with that old school MMO feel! If you did not have the chance to play back then, or just want to revisit for nostalgia, then this server will be on your list to play. Beta will begin on May 2, 2024.”

Kander — Today at 1:23 PM
1. There will be no spell research. There will be a 6 week beta, so make sure you participate if you have questions. We restored old art, and old hoods, we need lots of testing.

2. All stats do something, like they used to. all bosses will be original stat/buff packages. no potency, no crit, no blue stats.

3. Unfortunately, not all the code is still there, so weight was lost. No weight, weight is unfortunately, gone.

4. So as to unlocks, none of that has been decided, but we did put in new forums, so now we will be able to poll and discuss unlocks before we launch.

5. There wil be a marketplace, but it will be very limited. It will not be free trade.

6. This server is on its own depot. Meaning, it cannot be affected by Live, at all. It literally has its own patches, etc. We've never done this before, so the server exists entirely separate from the rest of the game.

7. Freeport and Qeynos are back to old school. Old quests are back.

8. no persistant instances, its old school.

9. No subcombines. The current build is right after we took out subcombines for crafting.

full list! not full classic, but close enough for me right now. I'm excited! I never got to play the original eq, but the emu still feels years away, so this will do me fine until then';
