I know it will be a ton of work and headaches for devs and GMs to start up a new server like Green 2.0 so that will be awhile.

In the meantime can we get p99 Test ? When I played on live there was a Test server.

Can wipe it clean first of every month but have same group exp bonuses that Red has.

Can have it start at classic one month and another month with Kunark only etc.

Would provide a place to try out Qol changes that are in the spirit of classic.

Just a thought.

Merry Christmas devs and GMs!

I think, and im in no way affiliated with RogBog or the IP owners of current EQ that when the classic source was misplaced amd much of the classic data was lost RogBog and co had a lot of very good data, and accompanying code base.
The new owners while making the deal to not shut them down would have "baggsed it" I know I would have.

This is just speculation on my part but would explain a lot.
Why no new servers on the regular. The agreement in the first place.
Ya know, after typing all that I still dunno.
Data is king though so....

What's being tested? The servers are at the end of their patch timelines.

That said it would be classic to have "Project M" on it if it launched...was the only time I ever played on the test server back in the day and it was a lot of fun running around as a newbie area mob slaying low levels :D

Same.
My (could be wrong) opinion initially was the peeps who started waaay before me went there so they could discover new stuff.

As it turns out *some* folk just love that shit. Posting bugs. Finding bugs (and not exploiting).
Real adventurers.
It turns out I was just a 'venturer.

Hi Swish!

I heard about "Project M". I sadly never got to try it. I would love to play as a raid target ;)

>>

What *would* be tested is that every other month there would be a fresh Red.

That way the devs have a chance to figure out how to tune a PVP server so it doesn't have only 32 players.

I keep seeing posts by Red folks advocating:

- item loot
- leaderboards
- etc

What I want is after you kill a player you get a temporary buff like Highlander. I am thinking KEI plus potg plus regrowth etc.

The server is low because the bow quest bug makes pvp impossible and it took this long for sirken to leave
