MacroQuest64

lol ....Kunark had one of the biggest time sinks in the entire game ...ever! The original VP key.

I enjoyed EverQuest while Verant ran the show. Sony ruined it all for me so I'd definately drop everything and play as long as it is all preLuclin (Sony Days).

to be honest, for sony to reverse program eq back into old code would take a long time, it would basicly be buildng the game over again with new relevant fixes. Not to mention reversing revamped zones.

Itd be a neat idea, it was fun as Discord, but i dontthink sony would devote the time, nor would many players.

Technically, all they'd have to do is implement the original source code without all the new engines which most of the old school people who would want a classic server wouldn't want anyway...take no work at all. Updating to the current netcode and so forth would be another story.

I voted yes with one caveat, keep the current UI and graphics, just cap levels at 50 (thus eliminating all AAs), and bugfixes and nerfs. The ONLY patches that would be made to this server, would be UI improvements and bugfixes. Hell, maybe they'd actually fix some of the truly ancient bugs and bring those fixes to the rest of the servers.

You folks saying you've already beat that game are wrong. Unless you played to 50 pre-kunark, the game was an entirely different thing than it is today. For one thing, the world was absolutely HUGE, none of this popping in and out of PoK to get somewhere in two zones, no PoK to serve as a hub for the entire world. Unless you are a druid or a wizard, you walk to get anywhere, at best you walk to a zone holding a druid ring or wizard spires and hope some druid/wizzie is porting for donations.

And all the mudflation was yet to come, no cheap ubergear for sale, hell no epics even (those went in with Kunark). The ultimate encounters were Vox and Naggy, and without ubergear and everyone capped at 50, those were some major tough encounters.

With the updated graphics and UI, EQ classic would be a breath of fresh air. And once you've REALLY beaten EQ Classic, you can always xfer your characters and be a real country bumpkin gone to the big city.

Cronic, its all about original/kunark/velious.
