Where to Get the Software
As it says on the Project 1999 Guidebook:
- In order to play on Project 1999 you must obtain a copy of Everquest: Titanium Edition. Only a clean Titanium install will work. You must acquire this on your own as we cannot distribute it, however there are many places to accomplish this. You do not need a valid CD Key.
Because Project 1999 can't distribute the client, one very common question newcomers ask is "where can I get it?" This question is slightly tricky to answer, but you basically have two options: physical or digital.
Option #1: Acquire The Physical Disks
This option is simple: beg, borrow or buy the Titanium Installation CDs. If you aren't lucky enough to still have some from long ago, perhaps one of your gaming friends do? A quick social media post might turn up an unexpected copy.
If you can't get a copy in your social network, you'll need to buy it, and since it's such a specific item, you're unlikely to find it at a local garage sale or flea market (though you could try). That means you'll want EBay, where copies of the discs can sell for $50- $150
Keep in mind that after you install EQ, you can backup your installation folder or make copies of the discs themselves, and then re-sell the original discs.
Option 2: Acquire a Digital Copy
If you don't own a copy, or know someone who does, and don't want to spend $100+ on 15+ year obsolete software, you'll have to go digital. Again, the easiest solution is friends: if you know anyone who plays on P99, they can simply "zip up" their installation directory and share it with you.
But if not, you need something like EBay for digital downloads, but you won't find Titanium on Steam or any official app store. You could look on pirate sites, but you also might want to check websites that archive old websites and software ... a sort of "software archive on the Internet" could provide a safe and convenient way to get Titanium.
