in WoW, a raid is hard, in EQ1, a level 5 camp is hard
Yeah also in WoW who gives a shit if you die, in EQ, it actually matters haha
I made a High Elf Wizard in 99. I had to fight everyone to kill bats outside Felwithe. There were so many hills I couldn't see anything. At least I had a 14.4 baud modem.
Aldor PeaceKeeper raid in wow hard? U high? Lol.
That' a big reason why I think I've found P99 so difficult to get into. I thought leveling in WOW was a grind (not in retail ofc) but holy crap.
Yeah and the raids are zerg swarms that are over in 30 seconds.... soooo amazing raiding on P99 =/
Ahh Everquest. Nothing since has been able to captivate me like you did. I was young, the internet was young and so too was the genre. Truly, that was a time of high adventure! I count myself fortunate and grateful to have played the game in its prime - halcyon days my friends !
First time playing this game, got stuck for 4 days killing repetitive mobs in a dwarven fortress entrance area. Horrible boring grindfest of a game, whoever thinks this game is good is nostalgia blinded or just like boring grinding gameplay, and i say that for all mmos in general, terrible genre. If i wanted to play a grindfest game at least i want engaging gameplay, there are none in this game, just a target and wait combat, no strategy, nothing.

That feeling you get when someone gives you SoW and u didn’t even ask.. I remember the good times 😁
oh god
Hah what about your first pair of Jboots
Did their spell skill increase due to it or did that require grouping?
I’ve played MMOs for almost 20 years. No game has recreated the sense of exploration that EQ had in 1999. I miss the challenge and lack of hand holding.
same mmorpgs were harder back then
@Mercb3ast Right. That's why AC had next to no audience? Lol.
I agree so much, I just tried playing dc heroes. Too much like wow, it’s just walk through button spamming & the game guides you step by step to almost literally everything. There’s no strategy or tactics to accomplishing anything . I never found a replacement for eq. I know it changed after the lost dungeon expansion, level 100 & mercs!! I setup my dual box again and with mercs I could afk level in the hole. I grounded out like 200AA points & 70th level or something before I got bored
Jeez seeing the old clips of some of the zones gives me chills. I remember playing this and thinking the zones were so huge and the cities so grand.
WTB time to play
WTS family
this comment deserves more love
How much
1k pp + Jboots :D
I want to play so badly but there's no way I have the time now that I had back then when I was 20.
@@krozareq same here . Looking forward to retirement and EQ in ....15 years lol ...
The best MMO ever. Period. Great video.
a orc pawn: you ruined your lands you wont ruin mine!!
I remember playing this back when I was in high school. Remember “camping orc 1 and orc2?” And Fippy Darkpaw. Forget homework, let’s play EQ!
Fuhkn a man. FUHKn A.

Great summary! The game is brutally hard... and amazingly rewarding. I played the original on day 1 of release and plan to recreate my Enchanter this coming Friday, 20 years later. Still keep in touch with many internet friends from those days and married a Bard whom I met in game. If it is half as fun the 2nd time around, I'll be playing for a long while.
50% is low. To me my experience on P99 has been more fun because I have that nostalgia to draw from and stories to share in groups.
This game was so damn cool at the time though. I started it late, pre luclin, everquest trilogy era, but man it was so awesome. Two RL friends started with me at the time. I was a wood elf warrior, they were human paladin and half elf rogue. They were in Freeport I was in Kelethin that first boat ride toFreeport, man that was epic. Another cool memory I have is on a boat ride back to Faydwer, a fellow Wood elf warrior was there, we got to talking, we were around the same level I think around 16ish or so. He showed me this awesome secret at the time that if you let the boat run you over while in the water, it will glitch you into the boat, thus enabling you to get back on. He also showed me a cool camp in Ocean of tears, the two spires that the boat passes between has a bunch of sirens on it, that dont social agro when you figjt them, they stay dark blue for like 8 levels. When you want to leave, watch for the boat, swim out and let it run you over and you are on your way. I still remember that Wood elf warrior's name, Terek, seventh hammer server, baby!
You literally lived an idental story as myself. Wood Elf Warrior of Tunare server. Everything from the friends, boat, to alluring sirens. This some Rick and Morty inception shit lol. Let me guess, you're 32 with three kids like me?
Had to comment to say this video is really well done and explains what was so good about vanilla EQ. Proud to say I was there!
This is probably the best video about why you should play classic EQ I've ever seen. It doesn't come off as preachy and explains incredibly well why the game is so fun and why people fell in love with it in 1999. Cheers
If only the guys running the servers didn't monopolize the endgame raid content, it would be worthwhile. But alas, people are aholes. Don't waste your time.
^ seconded
My favorite memory, strangely enough, is the time I snuck down into a dungeon that was way past my level and got killed. I think it was Lower Guk (?) Luckily, a Necromancer happened to be in the same area and went back in with me to help summon my corpse. Good times! EQ was great because it was risky; I've never played another game that made you feel like you were putting everything on the line like that if you went poking around somewhere you shouldn't be.
Give Ultima online a try
Running through the common lands at low lvl during the night was fun but scary. 😂
A couple of friends of mine made a similar mistake and entered Sol B at about level 18 and died very very quickly, unfortunately for them it was also bugged at the time and the mobs stayed at the zone in point, right on top of their corpses.
We tried to get some higher level guys help us retrieve their stuff but as the highest person on the server was only level 35 and he almost died himself trying to pull the mobs away they really were out of luck.
Needless to say their corpses eventually rotted and they lost all their equipment, but the higher level guys we asked for help donated whatever spare items they had to at least get them somewhat equipped again...EQ really was a social and gameplay experience like no other that I don't think will ever happen again.
Thank you for this very interesting explanations about what made Everquest so special. :)
Tomorrow!! I was already convinced to play Green but this was a fun video to watch! Got me even more excited :)
You will enjoy the first 50 levels... then you will be frustrated with not being able to raid end game content.
you know what'd be freaking awesome. If they updated the gfx but kept everything else the same. i know some ppl like the old gfx but think how many ppl would return just to play it with new paint
This video was great and I loved all of your descriptions and examples like getting overtipped or running from other people’s monsters. Clearly, these are based off personal experiences and it’s so awesome to hear that you can have those magical moments in an MMO in today’s AAA gaming industry
The best video and explanation of classic EQ and P99, great job!
I love eq. Think more people would play this if it wasn’t so difficult to get p99 installed
I just want to create a human char and walk around freeport all day killing snakes but the installation guide seems tricky so I'll wait till I have plenty of time lol
@@darknovember install is simple I downloaded titanium from Google drive. You then download the p99 files in a folder and extract to the titanium install. Register and login done.
@@petebravo7180 thanks man will try this method
I would play ... but it's a pity that we don't have video, guides or translation game ...
I don't think you can ever go back. The graphics are terrible. I don't think you can ever get that immersion.
It really boggles me that WoW became such a big success despite all the glaring flaws of Classic WoW.
People rant about the "sense of community", while also being completely fine with HALF the population of the server being split from eachother in both economy, CHAT, and grouping.
If done in the name of "lore", why then in WC3 and in subsequent WoW cutscenes do Horde/Alliance characters all communicate the same language?
The Undead playable race as a whole is the largest mess of a playable race that likewise are a clear lack of "lore" as an excuse. WC3 was spent wallowing in agony watching Azeroth be ravaged by the undead scourge, just for a few years to pass and people are now accepting and welcoming of the Forsaken into the Horde? They can just wander on into Thunder Bluff and be welcomed warmly? Like what?
Even Classic WoW is such a breeze for getting to max level it's no wonder chats and low level economy doesn't exist because everyone wants to run the same three raids on repeat.
On the note of low level, the amount of trash and non-loot drops is truly disgusting. Little to no drops from pre-60/50 mobs have anything of value to the endgame world, to the point where you spent 90% of your Crafting Profession vendoring all the garbage you make.
The fact that an item as simple as Bone Chips dropped from lvl 1, 2, or 3 skeletons can be crucial and needed for lvl 50 Necromancers is prime example of consciencious loot design.
I've been playing since 99 and this is a well worded endorsement of the game that I love. Well done.
I remember my first experience in EQ fondly and vividly. I created a high elf wizard in Felwithe. While exploring the newbie area around the castle entrance, I noticed a path leading off into the woods and decided to check it out. There I was, running along that dark trail, my awareness limited by the 1st person view, when I heard that distinctive growl of an Orc Pawn, as he jumped out of the shadows at me from behind. I nearly crapped myself, as he proceeded to stomp me into jelly. That experience taught me right away that danger was lurking all around, and that this was no ordinary game. I couldn't get enough.
I once did a pickup raid in the plane of fear while my entire extended family was at my house for Easter. I barely said hello to anyone while spending over 5 hours on corpse recovery. This game was a serious addiction for me when I was younger. My friend who got me in into it failed college classes due to raiding.
You've nailed the experience with your description here.
Played this from 1999 through to 2005, and I still have my original character (65 High Elf Enchanter). There has been nothing like this since in terms of engagement, immersion and social interdependence. Made friends with people across the world who we grouped with daily. Made my initial fortune making Banded Armor for tank classes.
This is going to be dope!
Wonderful video :D
A lot of truths, I played from 99-04, literally every day. My best gaming memories are from Eq nothing else has come close.
This game is so rewarding. I jsut started playing 6 days ago and I already have 4 days of play time. It's taken me about 4 days of play time to get to level 14. Such a great game!
Thanks for covering this bro we want more people on the servers
EverQuest is still one of the BEST game ever played...And all folks that did play it Long Long Time agoooo.. knows it.
Old style, but the SIze, Raids and everything around it is just SO good.
This days tho...Not sure i would have the time for it..:)
i just started playing today because of this video! honestly the game is really tough but the people in this game are so friendly and really helpful!
I recommend everyone to try this game out, dont let the tedious install put you off because this game is a gem from what i have seen already
I Played AC instead of EQ but the look of this brings back memories
I was also an Asheron's Call guy, as well as Anarchy Online.
My uncle got my brother and me into AC, but my cousin played EQ instead. He did play AC with us for a little bit, but left to try DAoC and shadowbane(ended up back in EQ I think). I was just a wee little carebear back in those days. Played on Harvestgain.
EQ always looked really cool thought, but was a little intimidating to me; even harsher death penalty than AC.
@@proutytyler1 I got into AO long time after it was released
I also played AC instead of EQ, but I did try EQ before expansions were added. I connected with AC more than EQ, but I did have a lot of respect for the franchise at the time.
@@Kinuhbud Ahhhh Shadowbane! Now that was a game!
Nice work :)
I was born in Halas in 2000 and its about time I go back for a visit.
What I liked most was the scaling in first person. Everything felt big. Then wow had they third person view that had the scaling all wrong.
Started playing last night. I am sooo tired, have to work. Dammit why did this have to come back! :)
Those were the days. I played EQ on my 3dfx Voodoo card.
Ever Crack was the best. Forget eating and showering... You were wholly immersed into this realm. I remember the ruins of Kunark. I remember the tunnel (east commons) for buying/selling. I remember leveling up and then going to the Oasis to fight skeletons, scarabs and caiman with the occasional giant or spectre from the center. I remember seeing the beauty of the mountains and fear of the dreadlands... Firiona Vie and even places I remember dying in like Sol B. So many memories. Going on raids to the plane of Fear or Growth etc. I was a Bard, so I didn't get much. I was in a shitty guild, I could only hope for some good drums or a lute, but there was nothing like running at high speed while levitating through the mountains during the sunset with me, Raynbow.
the best MMO game ever
I played for years, Undivided Faith, Faydar the Dwarven Cleric, Faydyn the Dwarven Warrior, miss that era of gaming...mad love to my old guildees and fellow Antonican wanderers
I remember camping a named Ghoul in Unrest. He was on a 52 minute respawn and I camped him for 56 hours straight before he dropped the quest item I needed.
PoSky for my Mage. Cleared up to Bzzzztttt island on a Saturday and came back Sunday to clear up to Sphinx island and farm the crowns. Back when falling off the island or camping out destroyed the island keys.
Raiding PoHate when a G-Flux into the ceiling agroed everything on the second floor... Either camp out fast or wipe...
PoFear when a wipe breaking the zone meant you had to either get your backup gear from the bank or ask another guild to help do a CR...
Back when server wide announcements of duels were "Fearisbroken has defeated Cometofear in a duel to the death"...
Priest of Nejena?
@@jeffreyfellows8061 Sounds about right... The ghoul up in the tower...
Best classic EverQuest tribute... ever. As its quest lives on forever.
So well said!!!
Morrolan on p99 green? Niicce. Learned about you during my BDO days and would watch the stream for some chill pirate farms while I grinded myself. Might have to give the new p99 server a shot.
God, I missed the paper cut out skeletons with that maniacal laughter. 🤤
i cant even put in words how much i love eq
I might get an account just to watch the trains lmao
I miss old EQ, I started in 1999 and played over 500 days played on my account. Love the game and will always be a part of me!
Never played EQ1999, But I did play EQOA on the ps2 when it came out, it was the most incredible game I ever played. Nothing else I played even came close to the same experience.
EQOA was a glimpse of EQ. play P99.
Hey, I share that exact same sentiment. I didn’t get EQ1999 but I did get EQOA on launch day (also beta tested it) and I still consider it to be the best MMO I’ve ever played.
Thanks for all the work on the video. 99% of people who make Project 99 videos just record themselves screwing around in the game and don't even make a script.
Use to watch my bro play , amazing
Wow, I might just have to check this out. I started playing EQ back in 97-98 beta 3 and 4. I was 15 and got hooked. I played a dark elf wizard when the game was released. This game took over my life, it's all I ever thought about. I quit playing just after planes of power came out because the game just wasn't the same anymore.
While the people are decent, and will help you with buffs, etc... if you want to raid endgame? Forget it. You have to be in the top guild or you don't stand a chance.
Wow, I really wish I was able to experience this back in the day. Funny enough, I remember wanting to, but we didn't have a PC that could handle it! Ha!
Finally... i loved eq when it first came out. I went back...it was all mercs etc and a total mess. Im going to this server tommorow and starting a character. Time to relive the older days with streaming too. Superb
So excited to get back into a new classic server - still stuck on what duoing pair to pick 😥
enchanter/ cleric
EQ was a great game. Tholuxe Paells server, wizard Psyron here, 2001-2003. I salute all of you who were on that server in that time period. Farewell, and journey onward!
Even hitting level 10 on classic Everquest is rewarding. Everything past level five is harder than anything I ever did in WoW
cool! i want to play this.
how does this differ from normal EQ on steam?
Update, I tried p1999 and man! I see everything that you are talking about! eq p1999 is amazing! it's what I have been searching for! friendly, helpful community. immersive world. the game literally forces players to interact (as they should). epic lore and an actual reason to avoid death! IT IS AMAZING!
Question is will they add in the pottery sketches that made me a millionaire over night.. bought 8 backpacks full of pottery sketches before Verant upped the price and sold them back the next day.. I loved playing the markets
I got to play Everquest for a week back in the day and my sister wouldn't resub it for me afterwards cuz I played it too much. 😭 lol Can't stop me now sis! 😆
This was definitely the era in which I got some of my best practice pretending to be sick so I could stay home from school
I returned to EQ p99 green, and it’s been awesome.
This game will always hold a special place in my heart. If you have a busy life, beware, this game is hard-core as fuck.
Can anyone tell me the name of the sword the Dwarf is holding at 0:28 ? I've been looking for that weird ass name for ten years.
Nice video! What class/race are you planning on making for green?
I'm starting out as a Halfling Druid for versatility and travel, since a lot of my first time friends are playing and I want to be able to help them out. But I've got my eye on Dwarf Paladin as well for nostalgia
Everquest, i loved it. I really do actually.
Great souvenirs but fear to fall in it one day.
a real mans game
Hi. I really want to play this game again because of how much I truly loved it back in the day. I went to the project 1999 site & (unless I misread it) you need to install a copy of EQ Titanium in order to play. I looked on ebay to buy a copy & there were only 2 for sale & both were over $100. Is there any way around this? Did I misread something? Any light you can shine on this matter for me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/459361/for-anyone-looking-to-join-project-1999-but-do-not-have-the-disks
was i the only person in the world who actually liked the monster missions that came later? i really loved playing as naggy and her bumbeling horde of fire giants.
Never played but i wish i had!
Fuck another thing I loved about this was that they had languages in the game that you could learn by speaking them. So sometimes you could talk with your buddies in their native language if you knew it like, say you and your gnome buddy, and you guys speak gnomish, you could be like, "man, this stupid human has no idea how to tank!" Or whatever. To your gnome friend it would say Soandso says in Gnomish, but if other players dont speak gnomish it would say, Soandso says in an Unknown Tongue and the text would be all jumbled up. Man that was fun haha talking smack on people in Elder Dragon hahaha
The freedom and toolkit EQ gave players was amazing. No locked encounters, meaningful long duration buffs, crazy amountof utility spells and clicky items. I remember being a level 10 bard, running aroind in RM offering high level soloers to exchange their gold for plat, or guard camps where you'd sell stuff for them so they didn't have to leave and then you got 30% cut, making 300 plat an hour without fighting a single mob. Or random people you helped out once remembering you and shooting you a tell to join thieir camp or raid, even whole guilds launching rescue missions at midnight to get another guild their corpses back bc they wiped in fear, good times. Other games can only dream of that level of interaction lol
I played EQOA/Frontier on ps2. This has me thinking on getting a decent pc/labtop
After dying while in a hell level, my will to live vanishes along side my characters XP.
Good points. A lot of old footage there.
i think i will give a try , i bet the game have some Texture mods ? thank you great video
this is why pantheon is gunna be lit
I made a High Elf Wizard in 99. I had to fight everyone to kill bats
outside Felwithe. There were so many hills I couldn't see anything. At
least I had a 14.4 baud modem.
Hype~
(But RIP pet window; and RIP race/class xp penalty lifts - the only things I'll miss from Blue/Red. The xp penalties don't even make sense to add back, as if classic rangers were ever good at all eheh. Even then, troll and future iksars even make sense without xp penalty due to severe faction penalties - you'll spend your entire char career just barely fighting for even dubious)
@Andrew Lambert yea I'm 30 something years old and have to level 60 percent+ slower to play the race class combo I want. If anything you'd think a boost in xp since we're not 15 anymore with unlimited time. That's my only grump about it. Devs did a great job, but sadly it's no longer "play the class/race you like to play".
The class xp penalty is unfortunate, I agree. It's technically classic but I feel like 99% of the playerbase agrees the game is better without it. Seems like we could make an exception in cases of EXTREME consensus. But I think the devs are very principled about sticking to classic as closely as they can.
I remember when my druid would set and sell Sow (spirit of the wolf) run speed spell
I played it only to level 16 paladin but enjoyed the exploration, social interactions, helpfulness of others and the Spirit of the Wolf buff on long journeys. I don't think I could enjoy with these simple graphics now though.
Train to zone.....
I loved this game. Played pally and ranger as a kid. Once lost my corpse. I spent days farming the plat to get a necro to help me out. Man, loosing a corpse changes you.
I had totally forgot about the EC tunnel... LOL Old EQ player.. Rodcet Nife!
i wanted to play this game sooo bad as a kid
I spent 6 years on this game as a BST. You're right, learning the game, was tough. Fucking BST coudlnt' fit in to anything. Eventually I got top gear and started tanking and pulling super efficiently. I almost always had a group, but it took like 1 or 2 years to establish myself. It was tough, but earned, and awesome.
I have a level cleric 10 on green and I thought I would go back.
Should I invest skill points into meditate? I could pour skills into alteration. Would better alteration skill make me more mana efficient?
EQ you will forever be part of my very being.
Agreed
lol the flash backs from this game...would be fun yet painful
/who all friends
“You have no friends”
😔
Do whole zones like Crushbone aggro all at once still?
was all of the video taken from elsewhere? or were you in TMO?
That is as far as I played the first time. After months of solo play, I was lvl 32 and fell down a hole with high levels and could never get my gear back. Plus I lost levels trying to get it. I didn't find out until like a year later that some classes could summon my corpse.
That's funny but sad
I remember the term poop sock for Everquest players lol. Where does one find the download?
I miss the good old days. I soloed a dwarf rogue to level 53.
This is easily the best MMO ever made. The only, and I mean only thing today's MMOs have are pretty graphics with complete shit gameplay. Would love to play this again, but with a wife with MS, kids, work I just wouldn't have the time to really get back into it. 😩
SteelerNation48 Give FFXIV a shot
@@Buffypoodle Nearly identical to almost all modern MMOs and suffers from most of the same weaknesses
Man, I would love to play EQ on P99 again. But no shot I am going to grind those hell levels again. It's so exhausting if you're not being power-leveled.
I wish they implemented an exp rate modifier for alts after you hit 60 once. Nothing crazy, maybe a 50-60% increase. Something like that.
So wait, where can I play this? umm I would love to be able to play this again
