I loved this! Thank you for sharing and all the time this must have taken! So happy you're still making EQ content and passionate about the game and your place in it!
Oh thank you so much. Working on even bigger stuff but it'll be a long time in the works :)
Some videos just take you back to a different time. This was one of those videos man. Awesome job! Never even played EQ, but I remember going over to a friends house around 2000. They were playing EQ and Jedi Knight. I remember them telling me how good bard was and i remember thinking "man that game must suck if BARD is the best class" lmao. They were very very poor. Plywood for walls and floors in their rooms, no joke! But somehow, they had enough for the monthly subscription which boggled my mind. That subscription was a killer for most kids like me back then. My parents weren't having that! Anyways, this is some ACTUAL content. Glad i found your channel.
What an amazing video showcasing classic EverQuest. I genuinely love everything about it. As someone that makes EQ videos as a hobby, I understand how much work this video took. I dream of the day I can create something as compelling and creative as this. Thank you again and maybe now I can teach my wife EverQuest by showing her this movie 🍿😂🎉
Oh thank you so much for the support. I got even bigger stuff planned but it'll be awhile. Classic to PoP movie :)
Commenting for reach for now due to the incredible praise this deserves. Your videos are the first that have ever really foucused on what makes an MMO an MMO. Asmon doesn't get it even though he only ever talks about how fun WoW was due to his social interactions (which EQ was king at). Watching the rest of this 3 hour epic later.
@@RUclipsgrt oh 100% Thank you for the support
I really enjoyed Everquest back in the day. I didn't get too far, like about lvl 30, until Final Fantasy XI online and i got about 30,000 hours now and still going. Many points in this video works also in FF11. Both are pre-WOW MMO and both do an amazing job in needing to party and interact with other plays and oh yea it's so good.
Enjoying Everquest is like enjoying an old car. It doesn't have all the conveniences and creature comforts of modern cars, but it has a visceral experience that only that time period could provide. It's clunky, it's inconvenient, but sure does it feel great when you accomplish something with it.
Problem with those fancy cars.... Mo conveniences you have, mo problems you see.....
Same issue with the modern games... Not to mention most are trash because they won't challenge a toddler
Man, watching your video has brought back a LOT of memories. I spent so much time playing this game when it first came out. I remember long nights just camping a particular mod in an attempt to get a particular drop. My favorite race and class was Iksar Shaman.
Iksar Shaman is a beast! Thank you so much for watching
I genuinely love your bard pointers. You're the reason I started my first EQ character, chose P99, and chose to play (and love) the bard. Currently 38 and in full lambent on Green, and blaming you for how much I've been enjoying grouping.
In 1999, shortly after launch, I saw a person get their account perma banned from the game for creating trains in crushbone. Everyone rejoiced. That person had been creating trains there for a solid week straight.
Thank you Ion for keeping EQ and P99 Content Alive! I would love to have more content especially Lore related content! You and Flatts are definately my favorite Everquest Content to watch I cannot tell you how many times I have rewatched Flatts's Series
love these videos this really brings me back. I played EQ for 10 years long live Triality!! -Maelin Starpyre - Symbri Et'Diem
I just now learned about your videos. I haven't played this game since it came out but I watched your entire vid. You have fantastic pacing, entertainment, knowledge, details and you know how to build anticipation. Thanks for taking me back to the good ol' days man.
I just realized I am 42 minutes into this video and am completely invested. I really want to try this game out. I used to play WoW (which has gone to the toilet) and now I play runescape for the past 5 years, Everquest looks like a lot of fun to try out.,
Top Tier video man. Can tell a lot of work was put in! Perfect for a lazy sunday to listen to. :)
I couldn't say it better. I still play EQ because you have to play with others. If I do something well, I get known by other players for it. If I'm a champion, it's to other players, not some NPC. All other MMOs get it wrong.
He had a Paw?!!!? Damn. That's dedication. I mean if it's the original quest spawn timers, item rarity etc.
You are correct man. The whole point of a MMO is the community and people playing together. Every class able to solo and queuing up for dungeons destroyed MMO's
Always a good day when Ayonic posts
@@jaykay8388 hahaha thank you!
Love your content, keep up the good work!
Thank you :)
Definitely appreciate your videos!
Love this video! After 20 years away, I’ve decided to come back to EQ and give Teek a try, thanks in large part to being inspired by your videos-thank you for that, because I’ve been having a blast! I’ll confess to stalking your character a little in /who, and saw you were 59 the other day-did you hit 60 yet? (If so, grats!!!)
Thank you so much for the support! Yup I hit 60. I'm working on basically the teek version of this video. It's gonna be from Classic to Pop though!
Glad to have more vids homie! I always enjoy your uploads ❤
Thank you :)
Had fun watching that. Thanks for posting.
Thank you :)
Have luved all the eq stuff you have done, it brings back so many great memories of my younger days and i have just started playing on the new tlp server to get that nostalgic hit till rl gets in the way. Hope you do some more vids , great job Ion :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're having a fun time. Definitely more stuff planned. A velious guide is coming out before it launches in august
If you played AD&D with your friends in the 80s like I did, and you had a DM that played by the rules and didn't give away everything, with rich story telling and a bit of mystery with secrets kept until discovered and kept well then you'll like EQ! In the original eq had a sense of mystery to it. Before the nerf and level limits you could get powerful weapons and items at lower levs that were very rare in game because they were kept secret or on the hush hush. You could gather bits and pieces of info on how to obtain these items through conversations you over hear or have with others. Players were good at keeping secrets and so was EQ. Eq did not tolerate cheating and 1 person playing more than one account at a time back in those days was considered cheating. Expensive way to cheat at that. EQ did not tolerate that crap and neither did most the players!
Love the video.
This is the best stuff to fall asleep to
Great video
Thank you :)
100% about the EQ influence in wow, and wow classic was spectacular!. I tell people this all the time (when playing wow).
Oh yeah definitely. They took the best parts
You hit Daicha with the "Do you know who I am?" lol
Great video, thanks for making it
Haha thank you so much :)
Awesome video! And I’m not just saying that cause I got a little cameo spot 😂 seriously, perfect thesis; the BIGGEST reason EQ is great is the community and content creators are a huge part of that and of course @ionblaze is the best around. Prior to 2020 I hadn’t played EQ since I first quit during original era right before GoD dropped in 2004 I think, and your videos brought me back. Thank you for continuing the awesome videos. Right now I’m playing on the Teek TLP since I never got to play on mischief early on, still playing an enchanter Svengali but went DE this time cause they’ve always been my fav. Hope to see you around Norrath again!
Thank you so much Ehlias. You're playing on Teek. I gotta keep an eye out for ya. That's my main server right now. I got my name :)
Ooooh shit well I gotta find you. I’m working on getting my keyboard repaired since it’s attached to the computer and isn’t working right then Ill be back on asap
You need to make that intro part where you talk about what made EverQuest successful and a great game into a separate video!
thank you
"Why do you want to play a game that's this hard?" Cause the achievements are bigger, even simply getting those first bags. Nice vid!
I was a bard, starting around early 2000, on Talon Zek PVP server in the guild Pandemonium! I just started EQ2 Origins. Never played EQ2, but trying a Dirge!
When I first started we would run to Cazic Thule, and buy steel weapons which dropped off monsters from people farming there, and run them all the way back to Freeport to sell them for a profit.
@@kingknossosthebull9796 that was a long time ago wow. I never seen anybody do that for fine steel
EQ2 origin sounds cool - I've never gotten into Everquest at all but the origin eq2 realms seem very promising. Is it a good entry point?
@@IonBlaze1 Yeah :). It was fun and dangerous. Both people and mobs could wreck you along the way. It made it really exciting
Remember, there was no RUclips back then. You had to figure everything out on your own. You couldn't get any "how to's" or "best exp" or "best money" videos to go by.
You had to figure everything out yourself, and this was our newbie get rich quick scheme
Funnily enough, went to sleep last night with the playlist on, so thanks for this! :D also first...
@@KDKalvinDrake oh thank you so much for watching :)
@@IonBlaze1 I'm obsessed with a game I never got to play as a kid what can I say?
Great Video,
Thank you Dae :)
i wish i knew anyone playing this game still.
at those low levels, the exp loss is next to negligible. You get that exp back in like 5 to 10 mobs in a group. Also charmed pets can't take aggro if a player is within melee proximity of the mob. It always focuses on the player.
When i played a bard in year 2000, dial-up, basic mouse making me not able to chit-chat during fights, but in the down time (probably we killed all the mobs near camp).
Ion is BACK BABY!
Haha thank you! It's been on teek so far
This is probably the 11th time Iv watched this video now and I still love it.
Oh my god lol! Thank you so much. Yeah I'm working on a Classic-PoP one. But it's gonna take awhile :)
@@IonBlaze1 You put in some great work. 👍🏻 the Jboots video and also the videos on the multi-boxer are my favorite. Keep it up 🤘🏻
Kelin's Lugubrious Lament - A sad song that calms the aggressive nature of many creatures. Pacifies creatures up to level 60. that should be Stringed , you twist it by drum . that's why it keep fail i believe
Yeah it definitely is string. Not sure if the instrument modifier matters though. It's like mez works off of wind. Not like you can mez harder per se?
An ad every 5 minutes on a 3 hour long video yea that's fun
Totally agree best game evar played since i was 11 off / on since 1999 😊
Run through kithicore forest to high hold keep. Some crazy times.
Traveler's backpacks is out for 1.21. I added it manually for a backpack mod. Not sure if ATM will or not.
Lull = charisma. Enjoyed the story.
Ya p99 is great. 60s on green and blue. Probably will come back again at some point. Greatest mmo of all time
Ports are typically free for corpse runs.
You could have used invisibility vs animals when sitting near the Druid rings! 😂
"How you play really matters to other people, REAL people" oh BRO. Playing an Enchanter all the way to 60 and on some raids? I felt that. Yeah there are some meddling assholes who give you a hard time (i only played an ENC that 1 time through to 60, it was a real learning curve - i DID suck early on but i got really good in the end) but boy, there were some groups I got in where we MELTED mobs for 8 hours straight. Where if I, the Enchanter, made a mistake? Yeah the whole group was done.
Are Encs a bit OP? Probably. But the feeling of being a really *competent* Enchanter in a group of people that value your presence is just gold. No other game does it right.
One of the oldest mmos Golden boy of mmos 😊
great video. are you still playing p99 or quarm?
Thank you for watching. Teek! I'm in Zaide's guild :)
I play it on and off because its free on the live servers. I am not very good, i am not good at all, but its something to do!
BOOM 👍
Thank you :)
The same reason someone redid Star wars galaxies good game stick around for a reason.
Well, just for next time this happens to you or someone else (maybe someone without gate, who could easily, you know ... not make trains longer in crushbone by not -just gating-), that person could then -just sit, /camp- and wipe all aggrolists more safely for their fellow zonedwellers in an attemt to lessen the zones reputation as "infamous" for trains.
One of my favorite mmorpgs. Up there with SWG, before SOE ruined it.
How's Green server lower ranks now? I wouldn't mind making a come back to EQ.
Im stupid. Ive tried to get into the game but the user interface and all the menus doesnt feel good for me. Im going to try again soon
Hahaha good luck with it :)
the no map thing is what instantly kills my interest in this version of the game
Oh yeah it makes it a lot harder
Praise Innoruuk
Lol before you said some classic eq player was going to say something about something. Lol this whole time to that point I was, why are we seeing live content on a video called 2 years of project 1999 :D
Blaze: I just found a copy the D20 Core Rule Book for the EverQuest Roleplaying Game. Basically D&D in Norrath.
If you're interested, let's figure out how to exchange information, and I can mail it to you.
Oh it's all good Anton but thank you regardless. I think Zaide uses those for the extra lore addendums
6:35 Good lord, you need a second monitor just for the UI 😅
Hahaha! It used to be worse
@@IonBlaze1 Holy cow 😂
Are you playing Origins? just curious lol
@@tristinbulko6786 oh playing teek but that server looks awesome!
very tired of P99's lock at Velious... wish they went to Planes of Power. but there is no denying that the ONLY true EverQuest that exists is Project 1999.
It's called Quarm these days ;p
@@Calmethar. Oh yeah that server is great. Secrets has done a good job
@@IonBlaze1 Indeed, and Salty's Zeal has made the client almost better than anything else out there. Just the camera settings for both first and third person x's and y-axis' is really incredible. Takes a bit of setup, but it's just amazing how well it works and how smooth it runs. Hard to beat that for sure :)
lol bard again. only bard in your everquest
BARD 4 LIFE!!!! Haha
Eq spoiled me when it came to online MMO computer games. I played it for over 20 years. In my mind, other MMOs are child's play and easy compared to EQ. Easy is boring and doesn't interest me for long. I zipped through other MMOs I played quest lines like a breeze and end game and boss mobs without much effort which made them boring compared to EQ.
What bothers me the most about this game that forces you to group... the group xp modifier is terrible... Yes you kill faster in a group and yes you are safer, but for classes that can solo its always better option (eg Druid/Wizard). If I had 1 wish for p99, it would be to better balance group xp and discourage solo play.
Wassup Demris! Yeah you're right about the xp thing. It's the complete otherway around on live. Group xp FAR outpaces soloing so it's never worth it to solo. You feel like you're missing out if you do
That person who got mad because you were having the guards kill you is whats wrong with this genre and why i dont really play.
after binge watching your videos this one was pretty disappointing, just all the videos I've already watched put into one. mad respect for the bard skills but as a YT viewer I was disappointed
Ahh well. Thank you for the support regardless. I do got new stuff in the works. I just wanted to consolidate some old content people may not have seen.
@@IonBlaze1 thats a fair enough idea! maybe im just a tad bit salty that an ion blaze notification wasn't something I could sink my teeth into. Regardless thanks for the content no matter what!
I'm working on a Teek video. Launch to PoP. Gonna take a LONG time to make but it'll be a huge video
@@IonBlaze1 my bard is closing on the levitate song I bought, need to double down on the Unrest basement lol
I envy you people's love for this game. I wish I could but the game looks and plays like trash. But I wish I was you
Lol it does look & play like trash. Nobody knew how to make a 3-D mmo in 1999. WoW copied all the best parts & left the bad behind. But I still love the old class design & grouping
god this looks so bad lol funny people still play this crap. I never played it when it released and i can tell why even back then probably seen this and was like nope.
Go play your wow free 6669 items per kill, kill 90 mobs in 1 hit take the easy road:)p this is a true game
