New to P99 Blue, it seems like the EC tunnels is dead

[Vacancy13]

Hey guys, I just got into P99, I’m playing on blue with my friends we are all low leveled. I managed to get 2K pp (lucky drop my friend got and have to me) I’m a level 10 Necromancer and It just seems like nothing of decent quality is being sold, it just seems with green starting that everyone has moved to there and the EC tunnels has died? I don’t know much about the server just an educated guess. Well if anyone able to give me some tips for a player returning after a 15 year break. Or if anyone is selling some gear let me know!!! Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Yeah, it seems like most are on green now since it just opened. Once people get some levels and the grind becomes more real, I expect people to start coming back to blue little by little. Some people have 10 years of time invested in their blue characters. They aren't likely to quit them entirely for green.

Luckily, as a necro, you can basically level naked if you needed to. Gear is nice, but you are playing a class much less dependant on it than a melee character.

Have you considered green?

Blue is dead, try red.

[Skosh]

Nope. All the cool kids starting new are rolling Teal.

A week ago, they launched a new server; within 24 hours, they're launching another one. Give it a month or two for things to settle down and even out. Blue population is expected to gently rise gradually as people get tired of Green/Teal or decide to split their time between their old Blue chars and their new Green/Teal ones.

EC tunnel on blue is dead but still a good time to play blue. Many camps open for the taking and as people come back to blue economy will pick up.

I’m done with blue and have a lvl 6 necro with some decent stuff on him. He’s in cabilis though atm. If you make it there, I’m usually playing in the mornings (4-7am cst) and if you message me on Rats on green server I can log over to give you his stuff if you’re dead set on blue.

I highly recommend green though. I’m loving it.

Definitely green or teal right now no reason to progress on maxxed out top heavy blue.

Or even red is better bet.

I'll always come back to blue and my 59 monk (still haven't finished that guy after starting in 2009).

But, I'm gonna level a warrior this time on green/teal because I'm a masochist apparently.

If you're starting fresh - start on either green or teal. That's where everyone is.

Green and Teal is where it's at. Tons of fun to be had. Blue is boring and old and busted and has rotted

yes noobie zones so over packed, you might find enough mobs to reach level 10 by monday, if you work really hard at it. I think we define fun very differently.

10 years too late for blue. Come green.

[bricke75]

Once people realize the awful bottlenecks on Green people will return to Blue. Only a matter of time.

Blue was a beta server. Beta servers dont make comebacks folks.

They do when all the green/teal server characters are dumped to it for another classic run!

This was true prior to the split, but it's much better now. I have no trouble finding mobs and there are plenty of open camps.

In my mind and in my car

We can't rewind we've gone too far

Pictures came and broke your heart

Put the blame on VCR

[Lulz Sect]

join us on green newelf

[Daloon]

Blue is dead, economy is dead, thanks to green. You now get to start all over again (again) from scratch.

Was a fun journey, but not a healthy one.

[LegendZapp]

If you just started, why not come join Teal server that just launched recently?

[Frug]

It depends on what kind of experience you want, of course; the more people the more group options but the harder to get content. The fewer people, the opposite problems and opportunities. There's a *LOT* more money on blue, so it's easier to buy some things since there's way less scarcity.

See my sig for population trends and stuff for all the P99 servers, and some others as well.
