Philosophy
The purpose of this wiki is house a central source of information related to Classic Everquest as it exists on Project 1999. The community will greatly benefit from a single, unified source of information which isn't contaminated by post-Velious changes (e.g. zone revamps, item upgrades, game mechanics changes) or the hassle of tracking things down through archived sources (e.g. internet time machine).
The wiki should be relevant, dynamic, and useful. Personally I would like to see it stay more organic and less database driven. For example, do we really need a scrape of the item database for every single item (water flask, bone chips, ...) and a corresponding wiki page for each? The wiki should evolve with the players and so its content should reflect that of the most interest to the community.
General FAQ
- What is Project 1999?
- Project 1999 is the name of a EQEmulator Server Project.
- Why use and build this Wiki? There are several websites regarding EverQuest and its contents.
- Because Project 1999 differs slightly from the live version of EverQuest.
Wiki FAQ
- Where can I get general help for the wiki software?
- Consult the User's Guide for information on using Mediawiki.
- What is with the gear reference lists? How can I edit them?
- In order to list them multiple places, they are templates. To edit, go edit the template, for instance Template:gear_reference_druid_pre_planar.
Formatting Guidelines
See the Template:Itempage and Template:Namedmobpage for item and named mob templates.
Things are currently undergoing a revamp in several areas. For examples of where we are headed, see:
- The Crushbone Zone
- Ambassador Dvinn Named Mob Page
- Dragoon Dirk Item Page
- Cazic Thule Raid Encounter Mob Page
- Necromancer, Druid, or Bard Class Pages
Kunark and Velious Content
Things are getting ready for the release of Kunark, so links will start to appear to Kunark zones, class epic quests, etc. I wasn't planning on filling any of this in until the launch of Kunark but have no problems if other members of the community want to do so. The information is all out there, anyways.
