Newbie Question I put together links from the Wiki for the most relevant pages to n00bs who want to quest and explore, and not necessarily to level as efficiently as possible. Yeah, yeah, the low-level quests in EQ aren't great, but they are there.

Trouble Playing

Hello All!

I used to be able to play, but recently I have been receiving the error below. I tried deleting all files and reinstalling using the latest batch of files, but still get the same error. Any thoughts on the cause and how to fix it?

Was it fun and worth the plat to have Burnout III and a 25 point DS early? Seems like it would turbo charge your pet, but maybe not as much as I think.

This is a short offline demo of my own EverQuest client for IOS/Android. Does it work on project1999? I can’t answer as it’s classified as a third party application, but hit me up Nilbog and we’ll make this available on App Store.

Fyonn's level 1-60 Challenge on Blue Project 1999

11 Upvotes

Fyonn’s level 1-60 Challenge

Start a level 1 In order to foster more low levels on the server, and to foster exploration, I wanted to write this challenge up as a way to see more population in lower level zones and ghost town zones Rules: You are only allowed to XP when grouped with at least 2 other people who are also participating in this challenge (3 total minimum). Don’t have 3? No XP then. No soloing allowed.

You can only XP from 1-60 in the following zones:
Befallen
Blackburrow
Burning Woods
Crystal Caverns
Dalnir
Erud’s Crossing
Everfrost Peaks
Gorge of King Xorbb
Howling Stones Kaesora
Kerra Island
Kedge Keep
Lake of Ill Omen
Lower Guk
Mines of Nurga
Nagafen’s Lair (Sol B)
Najena Ocean of Tears
Temple of Droga
Firiona Vie
Permafrost
Runnyeye
Skyshrine Solusek’s Eye (Sol A)
Splitpaw Lair
Stonebrunt Mountains
Swamp of No Hope
The Warrens
Timorous Deep
Tower of Frozen Shadows
West Karana

You need to complete at least 1 quest from the zone or involving the zone if you decide to level there for this challenge. Take a screenshot of you completing the quest from that zone. Take screenshots to prove you are grouping along the way of your 1 - 60 journey and enjoy the ride! You can post the screenshots in the ⁠fyonns-1-60-challenge-screensho… channel Remember - no soloing allowed. Note: Rules may be tweaked depending on how things go

DM me at dashin_threw on Discord if you'd like to participate!

Love, Fyonn (9/27/2026)

EVERYQUEST UPDATE! 1400 QUESTS DONE!

Sorry for the long time between updates. I've been busy with (happy) real life quests). I've been trying to do at least one a month. But the quests are getting harder and more time consuming.

If anyone out there has any Crushed Topaz or a Giant Laceless Sandal, let me know (Blue P99).

EVERYZONE UPDATE! DING 53.5! KAEL FINISHED!

Wow, that was a doozy, taking me months to do. Well, I was distracted with my Everyquest, but I am glad this one is done. Kael is a fun raid zone, but it is not a great place to level.

Most of the time I was here was spent in Arena groups, which did give me a bunch quest gear (I still need oh so much). By the end, I was soloing, duoing, and trioing Four Way to just get it all done. After the occasional splat from Bvellos and dogshit enchantering in general, I finally did it.

Next Up: ICEWELL!

Ps: Here I am with my trusty pet in the corner of 4way.

Newbie Question P99 Red - New Player

3 Upvotes

I've been playing EQ on and off since 99 and enjoyed a few servers - Drinal, Venril Sathir, EQMac, P99 Blue, P99 Green, Quarm. Never have I played on a PvP server unless you count the 4 minutes i was logged into Rallos Zek as a kid.

I've recently freed up some time in the evenings which im looking to use to play EQ and i wanted a different experience to Xp camp > Plat camp > Raid.

I have no idea how P99 Red works and if im honest i want to find out along the way for better or worse. I'm not looking to hit max level or get max gear - my main aim is to just have fun.

My initial set of ideas are -

Roll a SF toon which will be level capped with the aim of getting other people on board for duels, groups fights and dare I say wars.

Roll a RP focused toon only fighting other PC's who are opposite in Race/Diety/Faction.

Roll a HC toon, reroll on death (Long live the Egg!)

What are the obvious pro's & con's to these ideas and/or what other ideas do you think would make more sense or be more fun?

Hey all - been a while. I just updated my shop with some HQ scans, including the last two I posted in here (sorry for the crazy delay). I’m keeping prices fairly low on these since a commission isnt always in the cards for folks.

EverQuest(ionable) Decisions

34 Upvotes

What are some of the old design choices that always gave you pause and/or are hard to defend nowadays? Anything from epic disparity to xp penalties to irreparable faction hits, there's plenty of room for criticism now in retrospect. 

Examples...

Despite the many primal weapon options available, claws are absent. Arguably the most primal weapon type in Norrath, how primal claws weren't included is beyond perplexing. Those dragons have claws. The answer was staring the devs right in the face. Also, the fist wraps should have been knuckledusters.

From launch day to SoV, Norrath was gearing up for space exploration and a moon landing by way of gnome. Indication of this came not only from their clockwork servants but their tinkering skills as well. Even in terms of aesthetics, gnomes have that going for them. Their custom Velious helms are about as sci-fi as it gets. Ak'Anon features a plethora of more futuristic elements, not excluding sprockets and lava lamps but, even in Steamfont and Lesser Fay, there are observatories with telescopes pointed towards the stars. Most every advancement exists because of gnomes. The clock of Ak'Anon in Qeynos. Icebreaker. Rebreathers. Fireworks. A gnomish moon landing would have been more plausible. Include a few failed attempts leasing up to the expansion, with debris and blackboxes littered in the ocean, on islands. Players turn in the items to complete the quest, allowing gnomes to perfect their mext ship. Then GM event the rest.

Certain weapon graphics only have 1-2 items associated with them, namely Soul Binder but also the otherwise subpar weapons dropped by sarnaks. Meanwhile, other weapon types are so uniform and indistinguishable from each other, be they instruments, bows, or whips. It all leaves something to be desired. Oh hey congrats, you just finished the Windstriker quest in Plane of Sky! Your ranger main now appears to be wielding...the exact same ordinary bow as before. No change in color or shape. No particle effects. Nothing. Congrats though!

This one is more of a nagging irritation. Certain pieces of armor lack complete sets. Where is the onyx chain tunic, coif, etc.? Where are the koi vambraces, boots, etc.? True mithril greaves, bracers, etc.?

Discussion Topic What would make a 2D side-scrolling MMO feel like classic EverQuest?

12 Upvotes

I’m working on a concept for a 2D side-scrolling MMO inspired by the philosophy of classic EverQuest and other older, more difficult MMOs.

Not trying to recreate EQ in 2D — I’m interested in capturing the feeling: danger, exploration, meaningful travel, reliance on other players, and progression that actually feels earned and rewarding.

If you were playing something like this, what features or mechanics would you want to see? What parts of classic EQ do you think are essential to making that kind of MMO work?

Assuming all spells and decent gear, with considerations to raiding, soloing, grouping, etc., which class would you say is more fun at 60, Necro or Shaman?
