P1999 - Velious

[Durothil Skyreaver]

Everything dead day 1 except Tunare and AoW

Also, I don't fucking remember anything about Velious.

[Lyion]

If it's as crowded as I'm guessing it is, not sure if it'd be fun to play there.

[brinstar]

i thought velious was pretty good (ToFS still a cool place imo) though it's also right around the time i legitimately stopped giving a shit

probably not a coincidence that was also around the time my RL buddy quit playing his enchanter

he let me use his acct to 2box ENC/SHD in velks lab (or chardok/HS when VL was too busy), but where i really burned myself out was a) trying to craft my way to dorf shawl and b) camping the guardian robe lol

[Tossica]

Mmmm Velious. Had a lot of fun/frustration there. That was when I quit.

[Drem]

guardian robe lol

Fuck Skyshrine

[Arlos]

Apparently the p1999 people did a joint guild raid with, I shit you not, *270* people on the AOW, and still wiped.



AOW. Kicking ass and taking names against 270 people in 2015.



PS. Velious was seriously the game's high point. It was all downhill from there.

[brinstar]

guardian robe lol

Fuck Skyshrine

finally got that fucker too

only IKS SHD in a robe, baby

[Lyion]

Dude, I'm in Everfrost Peaks for some reason haha. Going to check out Velious this week.

How the frick do I get Horizontal Hotbars? (third time copying Savok's files was the charm.. what a pain)

[brinstar]

ha cool

i just liked the aesthetic of robes on the (original) iksar model

if i was tanking i'd just throw on shroud of undeath (skele form) and secretly swap to a breastplate

I totally used you to snipe Miragul from Taken I think.

[Ginzburgh]

I just started on P1999. Ginzburgh the halfling druid. Man the early levels of this game with absolutely no money and no gear fucking suck. Does anyone have any items rotting in a bank they can give me?

[Lyion]

Ginz! Hey man, let me know when you are on and I'll twink you up. I have a 60 shaman and 50 cleric and a few lowbees if you want to group.

[Ginzburgh]

Lyion i shot you a couple PM's, not sure if you're seeing them or not!

[Zanchief]

I have the itch to come back and make a Gnome SK, but I don't know. Poop socking is really nuts there.

[Drem]

at this point i enjoy the low level comeupfromnothing game more than the raids we've all done over and over. i got 0 time to grind to max level anyway. it's been fun taking five years to level my bard up to 21 and get a couple pieces of lambent. makes me wanna try to get into the 30s and hit Velious. i miss Crystal Caverns

PS hey Ginz!

[brinstar]

We're coming up on Project 1999's 6th year anniversary. To celebrate, we will be enabling double experience starting on the evening of Friday, October 2nd, and lasting until some time the morning of Monday, October 5th.

Also coming some time in October, we are releasing a new temporary server. Project 1999: Discord will be a new classic PvP server with permanent death. It will be FFA without a level range limit. Item loot will be present. Other specifics regarding the rule set of the server are still being decided, but there will be almost no rules with minimal CSR involvement. This server is intended to only last for a month or two, after which point all characters will be deleted, and the highest level characters will earn a spot on a new Hall of Fame section of the website. We will then evaluate options of closing or restarting the server, possibly with different rules, mechanics, and/or rewards.

We are also overdue to enable the January 2001 era on all servers. This will include changes to root/snare stacking, removal of the Class XP penalties + group shared XP modifications, and more. We are able to enable these eras while the server is running, but we identified some issues that will require a patch before we turn it on. This will be happening this week or weeken

[Zanchief]

They still have exp penalties for classes? I thought that was done away with in Velious?

[Lyion]

It was done the first large patch a few months after Velious' release, I believe.

I took a long break and fired this up about two months ago. I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure how long I'll last, though. The community is good, but all the casual guilds including the one Duro got me in are shades of Scions of Veeshan.

[Lyion]

Double exp if you're tempted to check out Velious. I still play sparingly.

Update:

In Asgard, been back from hiatus about a month or so from a hiatus.
Each Sunday, ToV spawns (sometimes spawns start on Saturday, due to variance) and we play the CoTH and FTE game. I twitch like a good necro.

I have duo'd and trio'd some Velious things and twitched everything except for Tunare.

I think parts of it are fun and other parts of it are silly.
I remembered Velious being magic - but that is the thing with this Everquest, the first time is always the best time.
