Audio mixing sucks with the music being way too loud, still trying to get that down, I may rip the audio out of this video and increase it in Audacity.
Long time ago like in 2014, cries in years before that on my old necro. Great video, best game of all time. It still sucks the majority of my free time for games (which is very limited these days).
Yeah I have more free time due to working at home and my children being older, finally can start committing time to making videos. 2014 being a "long time ago" gets to me as well, it is insane to me 5 years since the pandemic and I feel like that just happened. Time creeps up on you and next thing you know you are over 40 years old and half your life is gone.
really interesting... I've always wanted to play EQ. played WoW and L2 and CoH back in the day... been playing WoW retail and a bit of classic the last year. Tried OSRS and really liked the skilling but wow just had its hooks in me. Might have to give p1999 a go
If you are willing to have delayed gratification, research using the P99 Wiki website, and get through to about level 16 this game will get it's hooks into you. I suggest starting out with a Magic class such as enchanter, Druid, Magician, or Necromancer as they have a "gate" spell at level 4 that works as a hearthstone does in WoW, and can save lots of time running around. Later on in the game you can bind the Gate spell to any location so you can teleport where ever you want. A Druid has more options with teleports to Druid rings around the world, and people will pay you money to teleport them to locations. Necromancers are the most powerful solo class in my opinion but are very complex, while fighter classes are much simpler but do not have gate or teleport spells. Ranger is a good class that is more of a fighter than Druid but isn't really powerful until later in the game.
p99 is rough starting out but that's part of the charm for me at least. Once you get to around level 15 or so and get the rhythm going it gets better, especially when you do groups of 2-4 people and camp mobs. That being said, you have to like grinding lol, it's a big part of the experience, but the feeling of getting higher levels is more rewarding than any other game imo.
Project Quarm is also a very nice place to play. Currently in Kunark expansion for about the next 9 months. Quarm will go through to POP and then stop there. That is a few years from now though.
Dang sounds nice, I never played on a PoP server before, just Proj 1999 up to velious. Would be nice to go back to Kunark time period and level a shaman or bard.
Uuuh, yea i tried it. There are no quests to do, and the games name is literally everQUEST, well im not gonna just randomly kill mobs for 200 hours, ty. So i just couldnt get into this game, sorry.
I understand, this game is not for everyone. BTW there are plenty of quests, such as the Gnoll Fang quest and Blackburrow Stout brew quest which both give a lot of XP, it's just that you have to use the Project 1999 wiki to get the quests, or go up to the NPCs in town, press 'H' for hail, and they will talk to you. If they say anything in brackets, such as "I wish I had some [bat wings], that is a quest. You type back to them 'bat wings' and they will tell you how many they want. It's tedious and old school, but that is what I love about it, it does not hold your hand and like the real world, no NPC has a exclamation point over their head to show they are giving a quest. This game was designed for realism in the beginning, and not everyone wants that, so I totally understand your opinion.
@@Turtle.69 I got into Daggerfall in 2017 and Project 1999 in 2020. It's not just nostalgia that makes the games enjoyable for me, it's the realism and challenge and needing to actually do research and think, its makes progress and rewards feel more worth rather than just giving it to you through a quest prompt like in later games.
@@dankbladedirk069 100%. Also a really fun thing about Classic Everquest is that it uses mechanics that simply aren't used anymore. Like, no level restriction on items. so you CAN juice your lowbie alt up and feel powerful. Or you CAN buy a temporary couple of items and then sell them later to another player when you progress beyond them. And killing guards in a city? That's so freaking cool man.
@@Turtle.69 That is true. The fact you can camp guards for EXP is something you'd never see now, also equipping your char with high level gear at low level, that's perfection haha.

Use OBS and adjust your audio levels before you record. It's a free recording software.
@@wareta9839 Yeah I use OBS and Adrenalin Software for Raedon Video recorder, I just forgot to mix my volume levels when making this.

New takp server opening on Jan 1st. Very similar idea to p99. Don’t miss out!
I just took a look, I think I might get into this when it launches. I would love to be in right at the start of a classic EQ launch.

Great content
Appreciate the comment!
nice vid dude
Thanks!
Wasn't a fan of Quarm. I'm glad people still play P99. Has such a nice classic feel.

Tubal is a greedy merchant. It’s worth going farther into town to sell.
Ah yeah I forgot about that. Thanks something I will bring up in the next video
You shouldn't waste your time for game like this in 2024, but you can if you wish.
It's much better than 95% of the other modern games that are available. You have no idea.
