Should we compare these servers? - Everquest Project Quarm

Loving your vids. I agree quarm and P99 are indeed striving for a different experience so can’t really say objectively one is better than the other. Btw, I did play a shammy alt years ago on live and loved it and yes they are phenomenal soloists, although I would contend that they aren’t quite as good as necros and necros aren’t quite as good as the all time champion of soloing-Enchanters, bar none.

I play on P99 Blue

I tried out quarm, the problem is once the nostalgia wares off you realize it's just one giant LFG waiting room with way too many rules. I prefer live servers, specifically mischief, the quality of life improvements like pick zones allow you to actually play the game, instead of waiting to join a group. Also the hate for boxing doesn't make sense, you become 100% reliant on others to do anything in the game.

I played for twenty years I miss eq

high level shaman is lots of cannabalizing! lol

If only I could play EverQuest on a controller with proper support (which should be very possible these days) I would probably be able to actually appreciate EverQuest as a game much more than currently…..then again I also think that there is no reason that EverQuest shouldn’t be ported to consoles since even the Switch is way more powerful than what EQ came out on back in the day or what it takes to run it now.

Project Quarm is an excellent addition to the EQEmulator universe. I'm not sure it is for me, but I had a lot of fun.

One of many perks of the Quarm Server: have a Mage / Necro friend help you kill Drelzna when you’re level 20 - bingo, you get Jboots!

Started too late and never got a Guise of the Deceiver? No problem, ask some friends for help you smack down that Froglok Assassin in LGuk for your Dark Elf Mask (clickable from your inventory all /all.

Many other sweet QoL changes to Quarm! Come over and try it out! 😺

The difference is that server will quickly die.

Just recently got into Everquest a little bit after checking out the live version on steam but wanted to check out the private servers where it seemed more 'real' (starting in different cities and challenge) Ngl, been pretty lost navigating as an ogre warrior but interested in sticking with it here or on p99 which I have yet to check out.

I have a low level necro on Quarm. The server feels more authentic to me, approximates my experience in the early 2000s. I play EQ in small binges over the course of a year. Come back when I feel like it. I like the low level progression, when a number going up or a new piece of equipment means a lot.

No. It's trash af. Go play p99 if you want a great classic eq experience.

The leveling just seems way harder for me.

I've played a dark elf necro on Quarm since launch and only got to 16 recently. Corpse runs begin at 10 and XP loss at 11 on this server.

I really wish I could get back into EQ. I played on launch day and for about 2 years after. Went back to it during GoD, formed a guild, and raided up to PoP. Those were the days. I can't really go back because all I want to do is get my original epic, the quest I've been on since the beginning (Paladin - ugh lol). No way I could start my account over. But glad to see people still having fun with the game.

Planes of power is right around when I quit EQ.

is gud

I played and still play p99 Quarm and live all EQ but totally diff EQ experiences - currently playing Quarm lvl 42 chanter

Makes sense w the name Quarm it would go thru PoP. I played live thru PoP and part time thru GoD. I think I'm going to jump in. I do play live now 4 box 122 ATM. But was def thinking about a TLP as well...Great times going back for sure.

If I new some people on project Quarm, I would play this server every day. The run from classic to Pop was the best EQ had to offer in my opinion.

Salelann, Shaman, former leader of Legend of Marr. Hit me up if you recognize me.

Very comfy watch with a nice voice. Thank ya friend!

love the videos man! I've got an troll war at 11 and an erudite enchanter at 3! listening to your videos while solo Leveling is great!

P99 is better imo. The reason the game is good is because it tries to be a sim. This gets devalued when custom content instances are introduced. The problem both servers have is endless content online that explains everything. A big part of the sim experience is discovery, which is mostly lost 15 years into EQemu servers. When I did my epic quest back in 2000 it was done without looking up maps or a guide on a website. I was forced to connect with members of my class in game to figure the things out that I couldn't on my own. I suppose EQ is just something different now.

That being said, the game has nostalgia value and is great for new players that don't have everything committed to memory. It will hold your hand less than most other games out there.

Shamans are too busy Canni'ing to med or melee.

I played from 1999 to 2005 on the Mithanial Marr server. I might try and log back on to see what has evolved.

i have never played EQ. I have allways wanted to.. Im 35 years old. I played Runescape classic when i was a kid. But i am going to give this game a chance with project quarm. : D

IMHO EQLIVE is just fine and brings all but a few of the expansions playable.

Got that nostolgia feeling... installed client but the mouse on higher resolution than 800x600 doesnt go all the way to the bottom of the screen (once I alt-enter to go fullscreen)... really frustrating

I would love to see that server go ahead and finish up broken Quest. They have my blessing to polish and complete even so far as to create new zones at the obvious Zone lines

The warped tiktok version of Everquest ran and administrated by deranged and unpredictable divas.

both quarm and p99 are both WAY different than how classic actually was, including mob spawn points, paths, and behavior. Sadly we will never get to experience it again.

I love everquest. I love this video. I love the old expansions, I hate anything past PoP. That being said, I'm so used to the modern UI and quality of life changes, I could never go back to playing p99 or Quarm. I love watching videos of people play them though.

I fell asleep waiting for that spell to scribe

quarm is way better, don't waste your time on p99

no map no buy

just started lving a Troll Sk on quarm named bashkar hit me up if you wanna group up!

exp on quarm is dogshit

I logged into p99 blue and wondered where everyone went. Now I see where lol

The only thing I need to know is...does quarm use the gross newer models?

Currently trying to decide between the new "Mischief" style TLP or Quarm. I love EQ so much, but the fact it's just such a known entity really hurts it for me. I hate that everyone knows every single thing, takes alot of the magic out of it. And twinking too, like I'm doing something wrong if I'm not running around in level 40-50-60 gear at level 20. I wanna hunt for gear myself, as a melee, and not get trashed for it.

I hate that was born too late to truly experience classic EQ as it happened

Is this music in game? Why have I never noticed THIS music on p99?

Did he just say shamans are the best soloers

Things like the compass are the types of things that slowly made the game worse. Sure it is nice to have for navigating but what is the point of having a skill called sense heading? P99 and our memories from that era are directly corelated to the difficulty of it. With each expansion they just kept getting rid of so much that is became watered down.

I tried PQ last night. Coming from p99. I enjoyed it, but I think my main issue is I didn't like any of the UI options, but I did find QQQuram UI which I think is what I need to really get into Quram. I've never been a fan of duxaui and always used QQUI, but the default QQ that comes with Quram is pretty horrible, lol. So, I'm going to give QQQuram UI a try tonight after work. I feel like this is going to be the ticket to me getting hooked, and hard, lol.

I think i prefer Quarm. I actually prefer the luclin models. And the future expectation being able to see luclin again is nice. P99 nerfed most quests so the only way to level is straight grinding. Still fun tho you cant go wrong with either
