Everyone is bored of green and blue maybe

[pink grapefruit]

Sometimes I'll find myself watching random youtube videos about EQ and it makes me sad bc nostalgia. Then once every few weeks or months or years I check the forums here to see if anything new is going on and everyone is super negative and mean lol.

My 10 minutes of reading today suggests that the drama is that some people don't want green to merge into blue. Also divisive real-world politics bc there's no escaping it, even in Norrath.

Green server is getting old and boring now for some I guess, and the potential reset is still far off enough for no one to be excited about the reset yet. It'd be really neat imo if they would just reset red server, maybe with the green mechanics of shit UIs and w/e. People love new servers. That'd be fun for people for a little while probably.

My EQ nostalgia is all wrapped up in the unique social aspects of pvp and I'm sorta sad it may be gone for good. This is just another plea into the void for another shot at EQ the way I remember it :P

EQ FORTNIGHT!

I miss 2014-2016 p99

[Ravager]

It's summer. This server has always been boring in the summer.

[Kohedron]

Who knew playing a cleric for the 10th time, and pressing a keyboard macro once every 20 seconds would get boring.

I am beyond shocked beyond all comprehension how this could be possible.

[Bardp1999]

The forums in no way reflect actual P99 game play you idiot asshole

[Tilien]

New green server, but every day there is a 0.1% chance the server wipes and restarts from scratch.

yes, I enjoyed TLP

but man, P99 can be pretty boring sometimes

Agnarr actually seeing a bit of a surge as of late. Still a handful of guilds there doing their thing though.

Aradune gets Gates of Discord next month though..so pumped.

Good years, single server.

[Gustoo]

Once server reaches velious it winds down because that is the end. That is normal.

Looking forward to red 2.0, its going to be great with lessons learned from Blue, Red, and Green applied.

Then green 2.0 will be great with lessons learned from all of the above. We can only hope the staff can continue their great efforts at making this EMU server way better than EMU servers really ever get to be.

[Bardp1999]

Whatever you need to do to merge the servers please start - Level 35-50 on Green is currently garbage outside of Cazic Thule and even thats a crap shoot. If I wanted to solo Spectres or Guards I wouldn't play Everquest, I would play a single player game. I want to group and not spend 2 hours building one to raid SolB for 30 minutes before the cleric has to log. The population is shit and cant support two servers. Green has failed, cut the cord before the entire thing collapses and we have a 300 population community.

If you fuck up my Firepot bind on the merge I will be... angry

[Fammaden]

Angry bard has some points but I support destroying his precious firepot bind.

[Gustoo]

I hear that once server merges all legacy items will be permanently enabled and firepots bindable forever.

JK but why not.

Looking forward to next server designed for classic style fun experience versus late game meta style jumping straight to high value property investment style play.

Going to be good.

[Bardp1999]

Seriously why not? Best suggestion I have seen in a long while.

[Graahle]

+1 to that. Server already goes wherever the wind takes it regarding adherence to classic.

[Gustoo]

chances are slim, because staff is aware that pulling the carpet out from people's fiefdoms and stuff really is upsetting, and I can understand that.

AKA they have their personal human value tied up in the fact that their toon has ungettable firepot bind ungettable guise and other stuff.

I have these things on both red and blue servers but I would easily throw them away for a server that I want to play on, so I hope that the next new server deals with these features differently.

Chances of a major rule change at merge is ultra ultra slim.

[aaezil]

they should redo green but make it actually classic i would play

[tycohunden]

Merge blue, green and red.
Make raid zones red only.

[Graahle]

Merge blue, green and red.
Make raid zones red only.

I'd pay a monthly subscription for the RnF ALONE.

[Bardp1999]

What's more classic - 30 hour /list camps or just having the items available indefinitely and people can farm till their hearts content? That's kind of the entire point of EQ unless I am playing the game wrong.

I think they *specifically* disliked the idea of every single caster in the game with a manastone. I get that sentiment, but it feels pretty dumb 12 years after the fact now. No prenerf fungi staff should also be a thing - everything else doesn't matter much/at all

you have said "Red 2.0" in literally every thread I read today.

[cd288]

Honestly, this is probably a hot take but I kind of wish they just did one PvE server. Green launch was fun and all, but the server has never been as fun as it was when it was just Blue a few years ago.

[Swish]

What character are you going to make? :)

what red 2.0 ruleset are you hoping for??

Beautiful thing we can learn from these past servers is that removing legacy items all together would solve issues. Rotating ZEMs and if worse comes to worse and they want to keep legacy items, just remove list and let people fight over it.

[bomaroast]

I haven't been on in weeks, and haven't played seriously in months. Things are looking up!

[Mesocyclone]

100 bucks says the new progressive server will be half empty. I'm not leaving my hard-earned green characters to start over from scratch to compete against with teams of account sharers.

This is what everyone said about the first Green haha

And if you want to keep playing on Blue once the merge hits then more power to you! I play on Blue sometimes and it's definitely still very fun. Had a great random pickup trio crawl through Crystal Caverns the other night.

I think you're kind of looking at this the wrong way though. Unless you're doing serious end game raiding, the fun of EQ is the journey and the leveling and being social with people. You can do that on a fresh server no problem. you don't have to look at it as leaving your hard-earned characters. Keep playing them while also starting a new and fun journey on the fresh server!

i miss the 2010-2012 time period here on Project1999. So many good friends, fun adventures that i just couldn't replicate when i tried out Green.

felt more nostalgic playing blue more than playing on green

rip blue :(

Iksar. Only. Server.

Make it happen.

[Ooloo]

When they launch a new green I really hope they don't split it due to pop the way they did with green\teal. That threw a wrench in the whole project. A high pop is good, yes it sucks for the first couple days when people are camping individual decaying skels but that works itself out within 48 hrs.

[Ooloo]

Plus then you avoid the resentment that comes from the server that gets merged back into green, because they had a magic EQ server where nobody was mean or something.

I agree. Really put a damper on green launch when we went from groups camping all kinds of random camps like dervs in sro etc to not having anyone at those places when the server split.

This, and no zones available outside of Kunark.

[Gustoo]

It is the only reason I come on these forums. It is the only reason I played shards of dalaya a hundred years ago and a the only reason I played blue. A good PVP server. Yes. That's what I am rooting for. All. the. fucking. time. If I wanted to sit around and receive pixels I would play every other game.

This was my idea for an excellent PVP server (kunark only) and 100% chance it would be awesome.

The other option is a Vanilla -> Velious server that skips kunark completely, so the progression is more difficult and theres a bunch of level 50's dealing with velious stuff instead of a raid force of dragon geared maniacs going direct to highest value content.

It would make velious a better PVP expansion, because when it goes kunark to velious it seems like a lot of people wash out due to gear divide multiplying.

But I legitimately don't give a rats ass about the level 60 game.

Like it or not a lot of people actually like the journey. If you don't like the journey, jump over to blue right away and just play endgame classic.

For me I would roll 1 character per server if they were getting nuked in less than 10 years or whatever.

We know a new server is imminent. It is foretold.

The person you're replying to on this clearly hasn't played progression EQ before. They are set into this "hard earned characters" mindset. I don't think they really thought about this aspect of the project when they started.
