Been enjoying your vids and ive been playing quarm as a brand new player to EQ. Have a barbarian warrior named Vaezon and dark elf magician Barenziah. Still pretty low, just below 10 but been enjoying checking out the zones im able to go to and just the vibe of the ambience as well.

[@Raider1377]

I think you should stay on Quarm, for channel growth. It's my personal favorite way to play Everquest!

[@Deathrydar]

I had the same experience on Teek. Welcome home!

[@dthurston87]

From my experience playing Phinny Agnarr and another TLP server that I can't remember the name of it was always a rush to end game. I stopped playing TLPs bc I would just get so burnt out trying to rush my character to max as quick as possible to do end game content on era with my guild. That's what I like about project quarm is that things don't really feel like I need to rush to max bc there is plenty of time between each expansion to get to max and have tons of time to raid in era.

[@dessius]

exactly!

[@dlear85]

Same. Been giving quarm another go this week and managed to get to 19 and got a few groups. Nice and chill

[@ChefBrianCooks]

Velious on Quarm wont be out till April of 2025. Which is nice. I work a lot and there is a good chance i will be max level and have been on a few raids by then.

[@Malaena]

Going to set up quarm tonight and give it a try. Has been many many years since my last EQ run.

[@salte9223]

That Enchanter you were grouped with in BB was amazing!!

[@dessius]

100%!

[@ponchodog9692]

Richerd? Aw man, rip my comrade

[@dessius]

F for Richerd, his legacy shall be carried on

[@Annoying_Llama]

Man i've never played Original EQ or P99 like servers, but I love watching your videos. I play Embers Adrift to get my old school Experience.

[@paradopx8618]

TLP feels so janky and odd to me, it prob works for post-planes of power, but any content before that, the new terrible zone revamps…. Ick

[@zedorian6547]

If I could play EverQuest properly with a controller then I would likely never leave. Alas, that is not the case…

[@vilegoat1401]

Your graphics look awesome my p99nsuck on my 36 inch monitor its so bad and cant seem to make it work well.

[@donnychooch9860]

U better keep making new eq vids do a collaboration

[@SecretsEQ]

Glad to see you enjoying Quarm! It's OK to enjoy multiple ways to play EverQuest, and I hope you continue to produce P99 content, too.

[@DeadManFishing]

Agree with everything you said in this video except I’m team loose as a goose Luclin here lol

[@ChefBrianCooks]

I hope you stick it out. Listening to all your videos. You have a constant theme that you talk about with feeling like you need to play a certain way and worrying about other characters and how they play. I honestly think in time you will age out of feeling that way. That is definitely a young man's mentality. Just focus on you and try not to worry how others play the game.

[@dessius]

i appreciate your insight, thank you!

[@paskcharron4542]

Zeal is fucking dope.

[@dessius]

it really is!!

[@dylanpaul7371]

Do you experience in-game lighting flickering? I am. Apparently the solution is to turn off dynamic lighting but doing that apparently makes your personal light sources not work. Did you encounter this lighting issue I am speaking of (flickering)?

[@dessius]

Hmm I don't think I've experienced that issue so far. I know the takp client, especially with lighting, can be pretty buggy though.

[@nailbomb4443]

Pretty sure PQ is wiping it's ass with p99 right now. It's just better in just about every single way.

[@Loug522]

The QoL are nice for sure, but P99 population is pretty much the same, especially with Quarm allowing a second client for people to sit at the tunnel inflating their numbers a bit and a new expansion that just released and brought some people back.

[@SecretsEQ]

@@Loug522 There are, on average, 200 mules for every 1500 players.

[@dylanpaul7371]

I find the Quarm client worse than P99. The lighting flickering is really bad and I also like how in p99 it gets "pitch black" at night. The lighting overall in p99 is very nice. Then again, there is no poop-socking in Quarm so...

[@usenkey]

Team Lucklin!!

[@dessius]

one of us!

[@Calmethar.]

New team [Looklin] reportin' ! 😂

[@Drew_2308]

Velious will launch April 2025, Luclin follows in Jan 2026, and finally Planes of Power in October 2026. So more than 2 years until we get PoP.

[@Calmethar.]

Aye, so we just gotta enjoy the ride instead of rushing anything =)

[@Jolanar_Raj]

I agree that I would be more interested in the TLPs if they didn't progress so fast. Not being able to keep up is the #1 reason I don't play them.

[@ChefBrianCooks]

my character name is klipche i am an iksar shaman

[@1Man7iot]

what UI is this!?

[@dessius]

i believe it's called nilipuss ui 1440p, found it on the quarm website, requires zeal

[@Phiktional]

I tried Quarm, but couldn't get the camera and controls to work like I wanted them to (more like live), even with Zeal. I might be doing something wrong. Also, Team Lucklin.

[@dessius]

yeah it's a bit janky compared to live, but a world of difference compared to without zeal

[@Calmethar.]

​@@dessius Try without "Old Sens Math" if you haven't, the camera won't lag along with FPS then. You can also change the sensitivity for both the x- and y-axis for both third and first person views individually. Almost better than any other client out there, if only you get it set up right :) There's a list of commands etc. under the Zeal download, and otherwise the great Quarm-guide can also be very helpful with a lot of setup things =)

[@ianpeddi180]

Been a long time p99 player who has also taken a break from EQ and Ive been trying to get into Quarm but there is something about the server that just feels off and I cant quite figure it out... There's a certain level of jank with the client where textures can flicker or certain mob types dont work properly, the database and pathing seems off leaving the world feeling a bit sparse and watching mobs take unusual paths can be frustrating. Ive also found I rarely interact with other PCs since they are all in higher levels and its quite difficult to get groups around the lower range since a lot of folks tend to solo on their min maxed troll with rubicite armor which makes the social aspect feel empty...I guess its an unfair comparison to make between a server that has had 10+ years of polish vs a year old server but yeah I have a hard time with it in general

[@Loug522]

So far Quarm seem more well cared for than P99 so I'd say give it some time and hopefully those problems will be solved, personally I decided to stick to P99 because Quarm felt a bit too custom as a new-ish EQ player.

[@dylanpaul7371]

I personally was gutted to learn about the lighting jankiness in Quarm. The lighting in P99 is one thing that makes it so cool. Carrying torches during your lower levels illuminating the dark really makes you feel like you are on an adventure. I don't know why Quarm's lighting is so janky and not as dark as P99 but it really is so much worse. I think the fog and draw distance is also way more janky in Quarm compared to p99. But Quarm has no poop socking....ugh

[@zahhari3170]

The main person is a transgender and makes it their whole personality. It's exhausting.

[@SecretsEQ]

My focus is on making an enjoyable EverQuest experience for all and making that experience open source, while preserving EverQuest for all time. I am sorry you see it that way.
