Category: Project 1999

If a Game Falls in the Forest, Does Anybody Hear?

Posted on February 28, 2020February 23, 2022 by Isey

A weird thing happened the past week. I stopped logging into Project 1999. Project 1999 has been my go-to game for what literally feels like 20 years (convenient, right?) although when I click on my category “Project 1999” I really started posting regularly about it in April of last year. So almost a full 12…

2019 I HAS REVIEW

Posted on February 5, 2020 by Isey

In the past I had broken down an annual review into 4 posts to really focus on what I was reading and writing about. I am going to condense that this year. The blog was down this year – and pretty much tit for tat with my posting. I don’t get a huge amount of…

Project 1999 Faces Population Issues

Posted on November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Isey

Who knew? The Project 1999 Green Server was so popular it was sitting at 2500 characters at launch, and well into week two. Keep in mind that is around 250 players per starting area. (Of course, not as neatly broken down that way, more like 500 in Gfay and 150 in Innoruk, but still. Get…

Ding! Level 50 – 20 years later

Posted on July 22, 2019 by Isey

My Enchanter hit level 50 on the weekend and it felt like an accomplishment. Which, of course, sounds completely ridiculous to say out loud. Or type out loud. Whatever, you get it. It is only the second character I have ever topped 50 with in any iteration of EQ. The other being my 55 Troll…

Player Designed Constructs : By Necessity

Posted on July 11, 2019July 11, 2019 by Isey

Yes, still playing Project 1999 pretty much exclusively. Yes, still completely bonkers. Thank you. I wanted to explore the concept a bit of how players substitute missing game features by using what is available to them, and particularly, how this builds social bonds. Specifically the entire guild in Project 1999 called “Dial A Port”. Realizing…

The Grind the Binds, Unkind.

Posted on June 12, 2019June 12, 2019 by Isey

I am in a funny spot in Project 1999. Level 45. And by funny, I mean painful. It’s a test. It’s the first real “hell level” of many more to come. For those of you who don’t know what a hell level is I will explain. It roughly takes 2x the amount of XP to…

It Matters : EQ P1999

Posted on May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 by Isey

As it sometimes does (on a good day) my post about Nostalgia and being stuck in a frozen moment of Everquest spawned a couple of responses. And this is why I like blogging – I read them, thought about them, learned some new things, and gained a bit of clarity on the subject. Oh, not…

Why Does Nostalgia Work?

Posted on May 7, 2019May 7, 2019 by Isey

I bet many smarter, better writers have tackled this but as I grind out level after level in Project 1999 I am desperately trying to find the answer of how in the hell I am having so much fun. Or even am I? I spent years there already, and this version has a shelf life…

Frustrated For The First Time – Again

Posted on April 17, 2019April 17, 2019 by Isey

I am not posting much because all I am playing is Project 1999. In this sea of amazing games and Steam backlogs I can’t stop logging in. Because I am playing p1999 I am not blogging much – because really, who cares? I know I am not going to get non-nostalgic non-EQ players to even…
