Kwill Of interest to some players who may play both EQ1 and EQ2…
SOE has announced that a new time locked progression server for EverQuest 1, Fippy Darkpaw, is planned to go live on Tuesday at 10am PST. The server will use a normal player versus environment rule set. Players will take on challenges to unlock newer expansions, and when unlocked, will have the ability to vote using an in game poll for which expansion will be unlocked next.
Various armors and other items will be limited on the server if SOE has determined they would give an unfair advantage.
For more details on the progression server, please see the official announcement at EQPlayers from SOE.
You should specify that this is an EQ progression server, not an EQ2 one.
Yeah I was confused at first, still nice to know.
I’m disappointed about the voting. I do appreciate they are giving us some democracy, but I would have loved to have seen each expansion unlocked in the order in which it was released.
Still, that won’t stop me from playing EQ1 again for the first time in over 6 years. I have a feeling that the masses will unlock them in order as well. Kunark, Velious, etc…
Robert, I don’t think you understand, the game will progress in the order of expansions. The original game will have requirements. When reached, there will be a grace period. After the grace period the players will vote whether Kunark will be opened. Players won’t vote on their choice of expansion, just if that next expansion in line will have its content opened up. after kunark reqs are met, there will be another grace period until the players then vote whether velious gets opened, then luclin, then pop, etc.
