Lets give green a chance to really shine, why play green when you can just play on your blue main with 50k plat and geared to the teeth?

exp loss on green at launch will be 2x worse than exp loss on blue.
Then after a certain patch im forgetting exp penalty is reduced by 50%, aka how it is on blue.
No this isnt a troll, it actually makes me depressed.

Nah I have a feeling it's pretty close to accurate, I'm sure there will be some groups still leveling on Blue but I imagine the leveling community will at least be cut in half, and the leveling scene on Blue is already pretty bad compared to what it was a few years ago.

I mean, I probably will go back to leveling my alts once Green hits Velious. At that point, they are pretty much the same server so...
Since we can log into both servers at once, I would imagine there will be a lot of people leveling on Blue at the same time as they level on Green (probably playing more AFK type of classes on Blue though).

I dunno, for entrenched raiders who can't part with their pixels, maybe. But who is gonna decide to level up a new toon or more importantly start fresh on busted ass Blue when the real game just came out on Green?
The economy stemming from ten years of up time really makes the 1 - 60 game on blue suuuuuuck and I can't be the only one who notices it.

People who don't like the inevitability of green characters rolling into blue, or people who have already done enough hard core leveling.
Also, what is your complaint about the 1-60 leveling on blue? Out of curiosity, and not to be a smart ass, have you leveled to 60 on blue yet?

Because leveling twinked chars and forming small groups here on and there on blue is way more fun than struggling with overcrowded zones and shitty weapons/armor on green. It was cool wandering around Norrath and getting 1 orange an hour in a full crushbone group when I was 12 years old in classic. Now I just don't see the point.
Have fun with that, I'll be chilling on blue.

Here is how starting fresh works on Blue: Make a toon, head to newbie zone, get handed a ton of plat by someone who has hundreds of thousands of plat in the bank gathered over the ten years the server has been active, go to EC and buy a full suit of prime leveling gear that would be insanely good on a real server for a pittance, run to one of the two or three zones that people actually use and get carried by BIS twinks with 80k worth of gear.
Blue isn't a real server when it comes to leveling, it's pretty much the EZ Server with extra steps and that's super boring.

I agree in part, but it sure is fun to see everyone running around badly geared and having to deal with the extra difficulty for a couple of months.
Nobody can say "oh its cool man, I've got an epic cleric parked here to rez" or "gimme a sec I'll log my enchanter for C and hastes" like they do on blue.
Those troll shadow knights will have to suck up that XP loss to begin with, nobody around to take the edge off those deaths :p

Yeah, I don't think anyone is arguing that there is a lot of fun to be had on green. Someone said blue leveling would be non-existent because they could see no reason to roll new characters on it. We're just responding to that. I wish all the best to the green folks!

The problem with that logic is presuming that exploiting a ten year beta to steamroll content is equivalent to doing similar things on Green99.

You're just creating a straw man now. We know it is different. We aren't equating the two. You said blue leveling would be dead and could see no reasons for a person to level on blue. We're giving you the reasons why some people are going to continue to roll on blue.

I’m honestly not trying to troll, sorry if I’m too snarky. But I honestly think Blue will have very little in the way of new players that’ll be coming around to replace those who move on to other things.
Most of the people dedicated to Blue already a whole roster of leveled toons.
Do you honestly think people who seek out classic EverQuest going forward are going to pick the old beta server over the server that functions on a realistic timeline?
Look, I’m 100% ready to admit I’m wrong in the future, but I really think that’s the way the wind is blowing.

Im kind of a middle of the road guy.. I have 2 60s with raid gear, manastone and elder beads, and I have plenty of alts that are half leveled and geared, and i could definitely keep leveling them and i may.. But its pretty unlikely and it is more likely that i will just end up replacing them with level 60 toons when Green merges (if that happens).
I may still poke my head around blue eventually, and if it so happens i take a few year break and green happens to be mid season(?) i may roll a newb on blue or finish an alt, who knows at that point. Green is absolutely what im interested currently as it is what i believe what everquest should really be, naked people punching lizards.

No I don't, but no one is making that claim. What I'm saying is that there are plenty of people currently invested enough in Blue to continue rolling and leveling here. It's never going to be like it was a year ago. Green is the new shiny thing and will attract the bulk of new players, without a doubt.

Blue is so top heavy and has been around for so long that lack of new blood almost doesn't matter. Stuff will still be camped and raid targets are still going to die within minutes of popping. Lower level zones will be the hardest hit for a while. In 3 years when all this new blood is faced with the prospect of starting over or playing on Blue we'll see Blue become king again.

For Green, I pretty much plan to only play the classes I’ve never really played before/much at all whether on live back in the day or on P99 (Enchanter, Mage, Pally, Rogue). I don’t intend to recreate any classes I used to play, so I could see someone on Blue who has pretty much played everything extensively not having a desire to play on Green.

Thanks for taking my snarky statement literally, it’s cute? Kinda?
Am I learning that those that remain on blue will be largely humorless and unable to tolerate a playful jab?
Yikes.
It's not quite that simple that less gear and less max characters = more difficulty. This fails to account for people's behavior. Expect to see a whole lot of playing it safe to compensate.
While it's true that twinks with parked 60s will have an easier time handling mobs, they'll also have strong incentive to round up more at a time, chain pull, and push deeper into the dungeon for the higher profile camps. Players without this kind of security will simply lean towards lower-risk gameplay - more mana checks, more med breaks, more room timers, more resistance to pulling the named or branching out from camp.
I've played live. I still remember that trapped feeling when your group can't press on and explore because the cleric has work the next day and insists on just clearing the same hall. I've been in that group that doesn't have a puller because nobody wants to be the guy without the zoneline right on their six so everybody just waits in awkward silence for respawns. I've seen the frequency of trains in zones with a moderate population but no available rez.
You can always count on most people to choose the path of least resistance, perks or not. The difference between leveling on green and blue will simply be a matter of risk threshold and pace.

I still get a good laugh when ppl on the forums claim green is gonna be difficult, it is not, knowledge is everything and ppl on this server have had 20 years worth, we know all the strats, we know where all the good gear is, we know the good exp camps/quests, i give it a month at most before we start seeing level 50s with BiS gear, then when the planes hit those zones will be a cake walk as well, playing on these servers is for fun not difficulty, even raids arent difficult specially with the use of broken items that shouldnt be used the way they are aka things like the hoop and soulfire. I'll repeat it again, the knowledge is what made classic EQ hard, the vast majority of ppl didnt know where to farm, how to pull certain camps, how to beat a certain boss, the best exp quests, and where to level.

Yeah, the toughest parts about EQ was always the lack of knowledge and soloability (for many classes). I'd describe EQ as unforgiving rather than difficult. Still, people are going to have a ton of fun on Green and I wish them the best. I'm sure I'll roll something there at some point.

I don't doubt you can't see it, but you need to educate yourself on how to state an opinion, rather then word it as blanket generalized (and factually incorrect) statements of fact. If you can't control your own vocabulary, how are people supposed to take you seriously... which clearly they don't.

That really isn’t lack of new blood as much as that is the current player base getting into Classic WoW and getting ready for Green. I suspect the current population on Blue will recover a bit in 3-6 months. Time will certainly tell.

The new blood part was the large wave of players** who appeared seemingly out of nowhere last winter and swelled server populations to record highs lasting into spring. Most of those folks had apparently petered out and disappeared by mid summer, as server populations were back to long-term average by the time WoW-Classic and Green announcement combined to hit it with something of a 1-2 punch.
**Where did all those folks, practically all at once, come from, anyway? That fairly sudden spike in population on a 9-year-old server was very unusual, and most of them were newbies to it, not returning veterans. Did P99 get come sort of major advertising face-time someplace last fall/winter?

I think it can largely be attributed to Pantheon hype. I was part of that wave. I had heard of p99 some time back but didn’t actually get involved until August 2018 as news of Pantheon continued to grow. Knowing that it would be years before Pantheon would even have a chance to come out I decided to revisit an old friend and I know many others did as well. I stayed until WoW Classic came out and stuck with that as my daily game until hitting max level where I can now just enjoy my scheduled raids. I now have some more time to allocate back to p99.

I was part of that wave. I’m fairly certain it was generated by pantheon news. Then a lot of streamers started playing too. The streamers are what actually looped me back into playing this server (I had first played in 09).

How often do you continue playing the beta of a game, once the full live version officially launches?

I don't doubt you can't see it, but you need to educate yourself on how to state an opinion, rather then word it as blanket generalized (and factually incorrect) statements of fact. If you can't control your own vocabulary, how are people supposed to take you seriously... which clearly they don't.
Please needlessly passive aggressive guy, educate me.
What did I say in my earlier statement that was "factually incorrect"?

Did a troll catch hurt feelings? That is adorable!
Reread your post history, if you seriously cannot see the glaring errors in your language, you need to repeat the entire formal education most children receive, which is more time then I care to devote to an internet troll. :rolleyes:

Dude, seriously? How can you call me out, and not clarify what it is exactly you’re taking issue with?
I’m trying to have a spirited debate, and I honestly want to know which facts I got wrong. I’m also 100% willing to admit when I’m wrong about something.
Come man, be cool. :cool:

Sure, I will play ball. There are so many in the thread to pick from, but let's just start with an easy one with your very first post:
Nobody gonna level on Blue anymore anyway. Not worth the effort.
Can you spot the factually incorrect statement above?

So, you’re mad at me because you think that statement was intended to be taken literally?
If I say “Nobody uses floppy disks.” or “Nobody plays Call of Duty on PC.” That doesn’t mean I think literally not one person makes use of Floppy Disks or that the player count of Call of Duty literally sits at zero 24/7.

Which, if you read my previous comments, is why noone takes you seriously. You have less control over your own language then a child.
This was just an easy example, it only grew sadder as the thread continued.

Can we stay on topic instead of taking needless aggressive shots at my intelligence because I used common expressions?
Like seriously, I actually want to hear what I’m wrong about. So far it seems like you have no issue with what I said, you just don’t like my tone. That’s petty, you’re better than that.

That is kinda the point, I was pretty clear in all my comments.
You continue to derail with your exaggerated, overdramatic, and factually incorrect posts. Read all of your troll posts, reread the replies people provided. There is a very clear and distinct pattern, and it is your poor language and logic. You have even partially admitted to your trolling in some of them. If you actually care to participate in "debate", it requires even basic and minimal thought and factual on-topic replies, so... do better?

You keep using that phrase...
So far all you’ve done is insulted my intelligence because I phrased something in a way that you didn’t like. That’s pretty weak man. Learn to handle a playful jab, people will like you better.

If that is your only takeaway at this point, we can add reading comprehension to your list of failures.
