Since the merger with teal and the Corona virus, for some reason everybody is decided to come play on green server all newcomers,players who haven't played in a long time, are coming back to green etc. Is there anyway that we can stop new accounts to green server.? Just curious because I for one try to grab camps and it's an average of 15 to 20 people on a list and an average of 30 to 100 hours of camping for an item. I don't have time for that lol . Just curious if anyone else is frustrated with this?

this thread means server is thriving, neither blue or 'red' are overpopulated, consider them if you need 10 spawns all to your loansome )

People keep bringing this up, by I don't understand. So YOU don't have time for a 30 hour camp, what is an 'acceptable' wait time for a camp?

What if my 'acceptable' wait time for a camp is 20 minutes? You might just respond saying 'that's ridiculous', but what exactly are the guidelines? As far as the goal of this project, it's to emulate what happened 20 years ago. Well, we already failed that because 20 years ago, players weren't foaming at the mouth for a very specific subset of what the game provides

What is acceptable is exactly what is going on down there now. That is P99 Green, a classic emulator for EQ. This is their adventure just like Blue had one. Theirs is marked by everyone foaming at the mouth for couple specific items that drop at a camp and everyone wants one, their story is a tough one. It was written that rules were put into place for lists that took 30 hours in some cases.

TL/DR: This is EQ, this is their Green story.

For the next server, whenever it releases in a few years, have no lists at all. The item will get locked out by the now savvy Green players who became EQ players and the new guys will complain about that.

Someone will mention lists, there will be posts such as "I dont care if it takes 60 hours or more, please put the lists back in so I can at least have a chance".

The inability to play and accept hardships are why MMORPGs were ruined by instance zones.

I just died to a blue con skele cuz i was to lazy to farm 5 more ruined wolf pelts and powerlvld via an exp quest. The population on this box + manastones are not my problem lol.

It was a close fight, I should have ran at 50% hp.

Did you level up any skills in that fight?

I remember starting erud characters and I’d die 3 times vs lvl1 mobs before i accumulated enough melee skills to be able to solo one lvl1 mob. Sad.

Mask's are overrated they can't even help you avoid the dark elf plague.

Its funny how ironic that during IRL when masks are also super rare drop the pixel mask is also causing so much stress in Norrath.

Almost 300 people agree, Green is over-populated. Re-open Teal.
