Green + Blue = Purple

[Sweagen]

Something a lot of people don’t consider; if a server merge were to occur, both Green and Blue could easily be combined without either needing to ‘subsume’ the other. The new server could simply be called Purple. This way people on Green don’t have to feel bad about being ‘merged’ into blue, and vice-versa, both servers get to preserve their identity and become something new. Then, the new server could be made (wouldn’t be splitting server into 3 different places, there could simply be legacy players (purple) and people on the fresh/new server).

I play on Green and love the server, but would also love to try the fresh EQ experience out!!! This would be a perfect way to introduce new servers while still preserving the identity of both servers

all you did was re-brand the current plan

Well, it might mostly be a rebranding, but it also makes sense from a population standpoint as well as a colour theory standpoint. It could make the idea a lot more palatable to people who are against the idea of a merge is the idea. :)

if i called a bullet a freedom injector, you'd still be dead

not sayin i oppose server merges and green 2.0, the sooner the better.

im saying that before you post a new thread, ask yourself this: "Do my half baked asinine brain malfunctions really need to become their own thread?"

If you feel like the answer is no, then don't post the thread.

if you feel like the answer is yes, it still doesn't need to be a thread.

and this thread shoulda gone to RnF, you scared?

Purple is blue mixed with red. Isn't the combination of green and blue called blue-green? Or is it cyan, turquoise or teal? I dunno.. I'm colorblind. The colors all look the same.

The art majors vs the electronics and physics majors battle to the death over additive and subtractive primaries :p

So yeah you are both correct in a sense. When colors mix as light in the form of radiation they add, but when you mix paints people perceive those as "primaries" of a sort but your actually subtracting colors as colored objects and paints act as 'filters' for light.

Using RGB as the primary positive colors and respecting paints or pigments as subtractive filters is the way to be the most correct.

My only criticism is future proofing us from living in a brown server that keeps getting browner every 3 years, bwahahahaha

[System Shock]

Green + blue does not make purple lol

[Ooloo]

Yeah this is basically just the current plan, although I agree with you that people get very touchy about the name of the color server they play on. "Teal" players still bemoan the merger into filthy "Green", but they could have easily just called the resulting server "Teal" instead of green and then the green people would be bitching. The servers merged, it's a completely neutral action you dumbos.

The big issue with the merger is that many legacy items from green will suddenly be co-mingling with the blue economy, but they could just make it so that any character that was created on green can't trade legacy items to any character that was created on blue, nor any character created post-merger. So blue players can still sell manastones to other blue players, and green players can still sell manastones to other green players, and the economies stay separate for those items only.

Just merge green into blue as originally intended and start over. The endless debate doesn't really matter to anyone other than tunnel fat cats.

New starters who want to play on a 14 year old server just got more help in terms of cheap available pixels, or they can go for the new twink free rusty scythe option.

CYAN

Cyan is considered a cool color, meaning it comprises the properties of hues that are soothing and calming.

[Gustoo]

Legacy items ruin the entire p99 project on the later servers who gives a shit how more manastones and bind affinity items impact the ones on blue.

Don’t worry guys there are enough COSs pharmed on blue alone for every active player to have at least one on their account too.

Next server which I hope happens I very seriously
Hope the staff realizes how unclassic green was because of the totally new and unclassic “legacy item” implementation.

Let some people play eq classic without focusing on the “legacy item” doomsday clocks. pLeASe!

[Jimjam]

Idk why people care about the economy on blue. It’s not like there are in game pensions to worry about. If it adjusts on merge it will adjust. So what? After the bluebies wanting plank mqs, manastones, etc buy what they want it will return to relative normality anyway.

Bandages and muffins won’t be effected.

Legacy items can be gm event awards pre kunark (instead of dropped) to emulate their relatively rare existence imo.

[Coridan]

I have a few legacy items on my Green char (notably Rod of Mourning). After the merge guess what, it's staying on that character. WTF use would I have for Blue plat? I'll be on Green 2.0

Well that would be pretty unclassic. The /list system is about the best model we can hope for, especially if they could somehow ban account sharing but I realize that's basically impossible.

How about: You can only log in an account on one IP for any given 24hr period. People always claim they have radically dynamic IP's and that's why account sharing can never be banned, but I'm sure the vast majority of players have static IPs. Account sharing\botting is one of the worst aspects of p99, especially at the end game. It was naturally limited on live by the fact that accounts cost money, but on p99 any time you see a guildmate online, especially in raiding guilds, you're only about 25% sure it's actually that person. Like oh hey our main tank is online! Oops no, it's actually just one of the fifty people who can log him in.

Yeah, I hate this. I refuse to raid on guild bots. If I come to a raid, as rare as that is these days, it's because I want to play MY character at the raid.

I like it.

How about also, you nobody can log your account in for 24 hours after you have? Incentive for people to actually have more than 1 character on an account.

It could make things like Planar wipes way more spicy and discourage VPN use.

{ya.dingus} has blue tunnel stocks hedged on green items not entering his markets...

Really don't want the merge do you? :o

What do you actually lose by having a bigger population?

[Gustoo]

It kinda sucks not knowing who’s behind a character it’s really anti role play.

Imo guilds shared character sheets need to include a column for roleplay requirements for their shared toons. Maybe have some RP built into the socials for the toons shared UI file.

+++ immersion. DKP incentives are popular these days so throw in some dkp bonus and penalties for using the RP based ramp / inc / patch socials
