Velious tomorrow, does it come with the new UI?

[Nomadic Plainswalker]

Can't remember if the initial release included the changes to the default UI. Anyone remember? Things like the additional hot buttons.

Technically we're supposed to already have 10 hotkeys: https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=386050

Custom UIs are not coming to green though. They were introduced in Luclin.

[Woodrow]

Do we have confirmation of when velious will drop this month?

Well that's disappointing. I assumed since it was in blue, it would come to green too.

[Baler]

If the server reboots you'll know it's close.
I too want the 10 slot hotbar.

Velious is already coming to Green? It took years for it to come to Blue. Why so quick for Green?

Is Green going to reset at some point and start from Classic again?

[Remezx]

It took years on blue because they were still in development, and on green they are on official release schedule.

That begs the question then, once Green catches up to Blue in era/content, what will differentiate the two servers?

[Kavious]

Green has no pet window and also no tab target cycling either. Have also heard green will never get custom UIs but I dont know how true that is. Currently cannot duck cancel spells on green but I believe that comes sometime in Velious.

There will always be differences between the two

Which isn’t really a big deal if you think about it. We’ll be in Velious for what, like a year before the final Velious patch drops? Then it will merge to blue

You make it sound as if Green is a ladder server that's scheduled to reset and start over.

I'm pretty sure it is? I thought I read that somewhere.

That's my understanding. It was named Green because they plan to recycle it.

nothing

you are mislead then. it is not merging or starting over. it was a fresh boot for those that missed blue is all.

The rumors of merging or stupid. we are allowed one acct to play on. Hence they would have to delete the other acct or remove toons to make a merger work because you aren't allowed over 8 toons on one account. And many people named their toons same name. so they would get a nifty e added to a toons name if it's a different account or one of the rooms would be deleted if on same account.

Basically can't merge

[Man0warr]

They have walked back the talk of merging it into Blue. That server has too many unclassic elements that they won't remove at this point due to them being part of the server for so long, and a broken economy from 5 years of Seafuries and plat dupes.

[Synphul]

Show me the dev post that states this, because there have only been devs posts stating they were planning to merge and recycle green and posts indicating they are contemplating a different solution.

This is sarcasm right?

Correct.

Also, do people think the devs are going to pay for an endless amount of pve servers? Lol

And even if they were willing to pay for all of them it would destroy P99 because the pop is barely enough to sustain two pve servers as it is

If they had some way to automating a merge where you can have a one-time chance to move green characters to a fresh empty account and then merge to blue, that would be ideal. Sounds like a lot of work for staff though if it needs to be done manually, plus all the name changes that would need to happen.

I would personally like an eventual merger if they could do it with no character loss, just so all my toons can be in one place. I probably won't do another start from scratch whenever they start the next iteration.
