The last stretch of Project 1999 streams has been one of those periods where everything seems to click at once. What started as a simple decision to roll fresh characters on the Blue server quickly turned into a string of unexpected encounters, spontaneous grouping, and the kind of organic friendships that only really happen in classic EverQuest. From the first few levels onward, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a short-lived experiment.
Starting new characters always carries a certain energy with it. Everyone is fragile again, gear matters, spells feel impactful, and every decision has weight. On Blue, that early-game tension brought people together fast. Camps turned into conversations, conversations turned into invites, and before long we were running with players we’d only just met, but already trusted with pulls, heals, and crowd control. Those are the moments that make P99 feel alive.
What made this stretch of streams especially memorable was how quickly those early encounters evolved into something more consistent. These weren’t just random passersby — these were players who stuck around, came back, and started planning future sessions together. That momentum is carrying straight into tonight’s stream, where we’ll be grouping up again and continuing to build on what started organically over the last few sessions.
At the same time as the new beginnings on Blue, there was also a major milestone unfolding on the Green server. Velanni officially reached level 60 on her Druid, marking the end of a long and demanding journey which tooke just under 2 years. Anyone familiar with Project 1999 knows that hitting 60 isn’t a quick grind — it’s weeks and months of careful play, travel, camps that don’t always go your way, and a lot of patience.
Watching that final push come together was a reminder of just how different this era of EverQuest feels compared to modern games. There are no shortcuts, no instant queues, and no guarantees. Every level earned represents time spent learning zones, managing risk, and relying on other players. Hitting 60 felt less like a checkbox and more like the closing of a chapter.
What tied both servers together during these streams was the shared sense of progress. On Blue, everything is fresh and uncertain. On Green, the achievement reflects experience and persistence. Together, they show both ends of the P99 experience — the excitement of starting something new and the satisfaction of seeing a long-term goal finally completed.
These sessions have also reinforced why streaming Project 1999 continues to resonate so strongly. It isn’t just about efficient leveling or chasing best-in-slot gear. It’s about the stories that form naturally when players slow down, communicate, and actually rely on one another. Those stories are what linger long after the stream ends.
We’re going live again tonight and picking up right where things left off. The new Blue server characters are ready to keep pushing forward, the group dynamics are forming, and there’s no telling what unexpected moments will come out of the next session. Whether you’ve been watching regularly or you’re jumping back in for the first time in a while, tonight’s stream is shaping up to be a good one.
If you enjoy classic EverQuest for the same reasons we do — the pacing, the social friction, the shared victories, and the occasional chaos — come hang out with us live. There’s a lot happening right now, and this feels like the beginning of another memorable run.
