At this point, I don't care what they do with the servers

[ya.dingus]

I'm ready for a fresh start. Let's just get to it.

[Loadsamoney]

I'm holding out until they release P99 Yellow, aka Kunark Only.

[Loadsamoney]

That'd be one of the most fucking amazing things they could do.

Agreed, Kunark was an amazing era so I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to go back to it and lose Velious.

[Ooloo]

Kunark should last longer than 7 months or whatever it is before Velious comes out. There's so much content for only 7 months. Vanilla should be a year, then a year for kunark, then a year for velious and repeat that forever

[sajbert]

Classic only is the true way. Enable PvP too.

….

[Lampolo]

I prefer the way it is now. They just need to switch green to a more reasonable name like Blue 2.0

[Infectious]

Kunark should last longer than 7 months or whatever it is before Velious comes out. There's so much content for only 7 months. Vanilla should be a year, then a year for kunark, then a year for velious and repeat that forever

Ya it's insane to think Kunark lasted only 6 months. I prefer a year on each expansion, rinse and repeat.

[Gustoo]

All classes and races being able to start in cab, kunark only would be a really good custom
Server

It would give rise to the purist elites again though, the guys who completely shun hybrids and only want specialists in their groups.

I'd play it though.

All people starting in Cab, TZ/VZ rules. So random respawn at Cab keeps everyone in check. Or total mayhem.

how about we just have a new classic timeline server the way Brad intended? :rolleyes:

[Dolalin]

I handed over my implementation of pre-revamp Splitpaw to the p99 team yesterday. So the next server should have that. One more piece of classic back in place.

THIS

[Enderenter]

No news... is good news?

[Old_PVP]

Should stop at Kunark. Fuck velious.

[Ripp]

Some of you purists irritate me.

Any new server should include QoL features. Period. If you disagree, I don't care.

QoL can be a slippery slope. How do you define it? Should there be no XP loss on death? No corpse recoveries? Pets can zone with you and remain through invis/ivu? Server wide chat channels? 'Mail' items and coin to players/Auction house? No more spell research or dropped spells, just buy them all at a npc?

What about instancing for every zone?

[Vanifac]

I'm so here for a Kunark only server. Or just let me roll Iksar at classic launch, lock us all on Continent with no softskins. Shit, I'd be happy with a server that just started at Kunark launch on the normal timeline. Let us experience that new server rush with no twinking as Iksar. That's classic enough.


Go away Swish. You just need some lizard in your life.

Custom UIs, spell sets, pet window, extra spell slots... those come to mind. Is that too much to ask or does that boggle the purist mind too much?

[Coridan]

Extra spell slots is not QoL, it's a change to the balance of the game. The 8 slot limit is a tactical factor.

I'm good with all of those other than spell slots. But I still wonder if you start with those QoL improvements where do you stop.

This.

Fine, no extra spell slots. Good now? Or should the P99 team only create what the Purists want?

Anything else? Perhaps we should be forced to play with 56K connections?

The entire goal of the project was classic Everquest. It seems like you don't want to play classic eq, and that's fine. No one is forcing you to.

There's a new TLP server every year with all the QoL you are wanting.

I see, so you don't want any QoL features. And you believe they should only keep the servers and/or server features currently available. So, basically no new servers is what you want. Correct?

[Absinthium]

Myself, I would love to have things like guild managment gui's, etc, etc. Otherwise, stuff that actually changes the balance of the game I can do without. *There* is a separation between QOL changes, and fundamental gameplay changes. I would love graphical uplift, QOL changes, etc.

Lets not pretend that P99 is some pure chaste classic experience, server management has made TONS of subjective, opinion based changes to mechanics based on their feelings of what they FEEL is classic spirit (rooted dragons, life tap nerf, etc etc).

If we're going to change things in that manner, then why not do things that are truly in the classic spirit, like fixing bugs to classic items or mechanics that were fixed during Luclin? These would be obvious changes that would have been done in era if the devs had the time to do so.

[Tethler]

Hell, I'd be happy with a shared bank slot and buff timers

[Toxigen]

How about some DoT damage?

[Enderenter]

If there were unlimited resources I think everyone should want more EQ servers, including ones that go past Velious. If the option is one new server every 3-4 years, then yeah I would rather it be one that starts in classic and ends in Velious like the p99 servers have so far.

You don't sound like someone who plays on p99.

Nope, used to. I stopped when they started ripping out QoL features. It's irritating.

What's the point of the same type of servers over and over again? I think merging green and blue and then creating something new would be the best of both worlds. But Purists can't have that, can they? Just stuck in their own minds, everyone else can piss off.

Yes! Stuff like that. Why not? It just boggles my mind why we can't have nice things.

How much I love QoL changes, and 100% support the good ones(guild ui, shared banks, Bazaar toons, pet windows, ui etc). I think your playing on the wrong server. P1999 goal has and always been to be as classic as it can to original EQ. I am no purist at all, and we all know p99 is not 100% accurate (Rooted dragons, Life tap issues). Most purist are bat $hit crazy anyway, and imo should only play on Dial up:)

But yeah there are TLPs, Shards of Daylia,Wayferers haven. Tons of servers that have QoL changes. So why hope for that here?

Now Custom content I believe a lot would love to see on red/blue. But the new green 2.0 hopefully will be just like how Green1.0 was. Bc that is what was planned by the owners of p99, and that's what most people are craving. Not saying there couldn't be a yellow Kunark only server, or a classic server that has bunch of QoL/graphic changes(hell I'd love a remake in better graphics), but that all takes time/effort/volunteer work. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. Unless some small group of peeps come together and make their own server like SoD or Wayferers.

[Dulu]

If you're really wanting a fresh start, why not try a hardcore league? We have one starting in a few weeks.

If there's no hope, so be it. If this is going to remain a Purist playground I'll just do something else like I have been and stop checking in occasionally. I think it's dumb and silly not to include QoL features that make the game better and less tedious but some people don't like nice things I suppose.

To me, it's insanity. But whatever. :rolleyes:

[Enderenter]

Honest question, have you tried the Daybreak TLP servers? I've played on a bunch of them. It's a very different experience from p99, lots of QoL features you are talking about. They add a few new improvements each iteration, and sometimes a fun twist. I've had a lot of fun over there. It's not the same game as p99, and I prefer p99 but that is just my opinion.

I wont say stop checking occasionally. You never truly know what might happen. Again Blue/red might get custom content which could bring QoL changes. Hell I'd love for them to piss off all the purist. So there is always a chance. Id just think a brand new server like Green2.0 won't have those. Unless there is a dramatic change to what they have said they planned for. But again I am no dev/owner of server. So Hail and hope for the best:)

I'd be fine with some of that stuff. Fixing broken quests, giving the XP bonus to Humans instead of Halflings.

But Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, and of course Bilbo did so much good after being powerleveled so quickly by their new guilds! :cool:

Hobbit hater :(

Halflings need the exp bonus to make up for their increased consumption rate.
