For almost 10 fucking years we had p99. Get burned out? fine p99 will be here when you get back. Feel like casually playing a miriad of alts each with their own personality and no reason to let others know who you are personally and able to phase in and out of guilds? p99 lets ya do that. Wanna pick up with a new alt with lots of plat/gear months later and have fun again?

But 4 months ago City of Heroes came back and I took off. But that servers population slowly started to die and when WoW classic came back it was just fucking awful. few groups, fewer task forces and worst yet people started migrating between servers where my characters names were already taken.

So why not try out WoWClassic? First week was pretty neato, people grouping in quest areas that were choke points, groups actually looking for dps, blazing through deadmines, adventuring from ashenvale through a little hole in the hill i didnt know about before to the barrens to moseying along through wailing caverns, i can go on but lets skip to around the time more servers got released, and they offered free transfers. suddenly a small split population. chats slowed down, everything felt like shit.

This is going to happen with Green. Split population, I feel like shit just thinking about it.

A lot of the damage has already been done just with the announcement of green, classic WoW launch, and the latest patch.

At the end of Green's timeline, I suspect they'll merge all the pop into Blue? Then restart Green?

And continue to work on Blue in custom content, including stuff like Veksar and Jaggedpine?

That'd make the most sense to keep Blue relevant and the population as a whole still somewhat together.

I hear what you're saying, but being a doomsayer is a little premature and goofy at this point. IMO.

Pure classic EQ sucks ass. Raiding non-instanced PoF/PoH and Sky is pretty miserable when there are 1,000 other players trying to do it also. I'm holding off on my judgements until they release more information but I suspect Green will try to follow the real-time timeline with patches and expansions so it should last like 3 years at a minimum.

I'm sure Blue won't die but I also suspect it will stop seeing as many newcomers which will take time for the effects to truly show.

There are probably a handful of people who checked out p99 and got turned off with how basically everyone is running around crazy twinked, having alts to res/buff, doing /q in your group when a target pops.

Maybe they are thinking of doing something like having Green be a server that at the end of the time line your characters get moved to Blue and the server resets. Since you could obtain era limited items it would be a incentive to play Green.

ain't nothing classic about people farming manastones and beads non stop, knowing exactly when they won't be available, knowing every bug and quirk of eq inside out. That's the nature of having a game people were obsessed enough with to dig through old patch notes, forum posts on the waybackmachine, etc to recreate the game as it was.

Green is just going to end up like Blue because that's what happens when you lock a game that wasn't designed to end.

Realistically you need too provide some incentive to get people to move over and ditch the characters people have dumped insane amounts of time and effort into.

Sorry to be the one to inform you but the list feature won't stop items from being perma camped on green, Imagine AC camp on blue but 20x worse and that will be the manastone list on green.

Giving players incentives to play on a server is dumb though, either you want to play it or you don't, enticing players to play green with the sole objective of bringing items back to blue ultimately fucks over both servers. Just opens you up to a ton of platlords seeking to make a fortune on their green items, so Green players have to deal with those shitlords which isn't fair to them, and then 3-4 years from now they get to wreck the Blue economy which isn't fair to Blue.

Its undiluted pixel envy. The perceived current scarcity of these items make them desirable. Of course with rolling green servers they won't even be scarce. Every three years they will flood into blue. Of course no one will care about blue in 3n years.

In the case of things like Rubicite or Guises I suspect it's mostly a case of wanting the mcguffin. These items AREN'T a big deal. I have a guise'd Paladin. Hardly anyone cares. The few who do stop caring after 5 minutes when the novelty wears off. Manastone might be the exception since most the folks camping it are seeing virtual dollar signs. Effectively that one's the same as any other high-value cash camp.

Blue will be the custom content server, it already is with custom content pet windows.

Expect big things! Your imagination is now the limit!

I really wouldn't exactly consider the pet windows classed as custom content mate. I can see the concern people have though. I mean if the server numbers are any indicator you really only have an active population for one server. Split that in half it doesn't really do anything positive for the community playing there. That's just the reality of it. Doesn't matter why it is happening. The effect on the Blue server will be a negative one. Now is the Green sever a good thing? I don't know yet. Just have to wait and see. I can definitely see why there would be cause for concern though. I do think if more people were playing there would be less worry about it. All we can really do is wait and see how it goes and how all this plays out. The real problem is there is more questions then answers being given out. Right now all anyone can really do is speculate and guess until otherwise. :)

09-15-2019, 06:01 PM
However, as is currently the case with Blue and Red, you may play one character per server at the same time.

Get on the list for a phat item, hop on blue to deny pixels or make some coin with your DaP alt. Hell of a time to live
