Project 1999 - Classic Everquest (2024)

FAQs

What is the EverQuest project in 1999? ›

Project 1999 is a free to play Classic Everquest Server, unaffiliated with Daybreak Game Company but operating under legal permission.

Thanks to fan projects, it's still possible to play EverQuest as it used to be. The latest fan-run classic EverQuest server, Project Quarm, launched on October 1.

The game had 10,000 active subscribers 24 hours after launch, making it the high-selling online role-playing game up until that point. It achieved 60,000 subscribers by April 1999. Six months later, around 225,000 copies of the game had been sold in total, with 150,000 active subscribers.

One must consider that P99 has over 50 000 members and around 10 000 active players. As this happens on only 1.5 servers (the red is much smaller than the blue) I am pretty sure that the P99 population is much larger than the one of the largest populated EQ Live Server.

The game's community is still active, and there are still many players who continue to play the game on a regular basis. There are also a number of private servers, like Project 1999, that have a significant population of players who still enjoy the game.
