they should scrap green unless they can fix pathing

[kylok]

As long as there's no log files on green...

[shuklak]

Green for recycled, rehashed, re re re.

[Valeriya]

More people playing a beta server that they know will be wiped in a week than have been on red in years. Ouch.

[imsorryGMs]

Green is gonna be major poppin. I can't wait to waste my time there as well.

[Donkey Hotay]

I'm surprised that Beta hasn't pulled larger numbers. From casual inspection over the last week or so, the total numbers for Beta and Blue indicated Beta simply cannibalizes Blue's typical population. I don't think that's indicative of anything: just what I noticed.

[NegaStoat]

The relevance of blue has reached its end. Looking at the most recent announcement, a merge of green into blue at the end of green's timeline goals is up in the air. You absolutely know that this translates into "we'll do what's best for the community" and if the majority of the community is on green and cackling with delight at giving blue raiding grognards the middle finger, then that's what's going to happen.

I'll be happy to dig this up close to 4 years from now when Blue's a ghost town.

[Donkey Hotay]

I wonder why they've stepped back from the original merger plan. It seemed straightforward and logical. What would you speculate changed their minds?

People logged in, created an Enchanter, got them to level 8 in 15 minutes, then they realized they were going to have stab another 300 decaying skeletons with their starting dagger just to afford some spells, then they logged off. I would see this all day in Nek, 10 enchanters, 6 necros, 2 mages and gone and replaced by another crew the next day.

Why would I spend my time on green beta? I'm gonna play the real thing when it comes out. I know what I'm in for.

You should work on 840/840 instead of posting things like this.

Yeah, can't imagine why more people don't want to play in a cesspool populated with people who's identity is wrapped up in how well they elf sim fight to the point that they think everybody who doesn't want to play with them (which, in case you haven't noticed, is almost everybody) is just scared of them.

I don't have an opposing anecdote. I just found it interesting that the average decline in Blue's pop was roughly the same as Beta's average pop. If there were an additional group of "oh gosh there's a classic EQ server" logging in and logging off all day, the average pop would logically be somewhat higher, or so I should think. My own anecdote is that I've tried three different early leveling paths to get a feel for what quests to look at, which give bags, etc. I figured more Blue people would be doing the same or just playing for the hell of it, which I certainly find more interesting than (my own usual habit for killing time) porting on Blue.

remember they had to CLOSE blue to get ANYONE to beta the velious content, people are afraid of getting burnt out on betas

I'd argue Green Beta is a lot different though. You have to acclimate to a new ruleset and even UI. Testing "Velious content" is wandering through enormous white zones to find out that yep, that mob does indeed have an enormous HP pool.

i'd agree, testing velious was much more convenient and simple and people still wouldn't do it, so it's not surprise they aren't lining up for green beta either

[Worry]

I can't speak for anyone else, and I realize this is a troll thread, but I haven't played Green BETA at all, and plan on playing Green when it releases as my main (and probably only) server.

I know a few others who are in the exact same mindset as me too, and I don't really talk to all that many people. So....

[Swish]

OP can't stop talking about red, who'd have guessed this would come up? <3

im comming out of EQ retirement for this, this is what i always wanted and been waiting for basically forever, i missed true classic eq because i started playing during kunark, and i know i'm not the only one, i have no desire to play blue but green, can't wait

People who play beta will have an advantage because they'll get to see how the game works.

[AgentEpilot]

Gotta get used to sucking again on beta to prepare for how shitty characters will be on live green.
