Character Transfers on p99

[Viscere]

They are classic, here were the rules IIRC :

- 1x character transferable maximum per account, only items.
- No plats transfer

Thoughts?

[kjs86z2]

just merge 'em and be done with it

[WarpathEQ]

Dead on Arrival. File under never going to happen. Sorry you don't got green toons.

[kjs86z2]

yeah probably

rogean is full steam ahead w/ EQ Legends

[Swish]

If items are no drop that might satisfy the tunnel fat cats on green. Blue doesn't really have a tunnel economy anymore does it?

[Defo]

Server transfers were not a thing in classic -> Velious era.

gonna be a big "nah dawg" from me

[Ekco]

lol.

A gimmick that might be interesting, despite having a Coldain's chance in Lavastorm, would be if somehow legacy characters here which obviously aren't multiclass end up on EQL with a unique mechanic or boon exclusive to these that is balanced and fun while not being game breaking. Like a 60 here is permanently single class but would have some cool benefit (all gear from p99 transferred as nodrop, some boost to char stats or unique focus effect, etc.).

Using Tom Cruise movie references.

Would love it if they were, but I don't see how to do it without making it easier to RMT

[Castle2.0]

Ya, I want to be able to transfer from one dead server to another while Rogean is off making whateverquest with whoeveritis that owns EQ IP now. Sounds goood...:rolleyes:

[chillybob]

a merge sounds like some fun database management

Just thought I'd share something pretty cool with you all.

A little late, but on November 1st, the one millionth character was created on the blue server. This does include characters that have been deleted, but it's still a pretty cool milestone.

this was in 2015. Add another 11 years of blue, and 6 years of green schizophrenia... 1 bajillion characters created all in one place. :eek:
I can see it now.....

The year is 2030, and the only unique names left are the likes of Xxadsmfdksy

Just be ready to say goodbye to p99 and just embrace EQ:L in July.

[Ekco]

and just embrace EQ:L in July.

hope it's successful and Rogean, Secrets..etc get well compensated though.

Wonder if the plan is once that project launches and is running to turn more effort to launching a new P99 server. There's clearly still intent there from the patches they've been doing and Nilbog's statements like "this change would be reflected in future server iterations".

Wouldn't be surprised if once EQ:L is running smoothly they begin more concerted efforts on another P99 server. I don't think Daybreak views that as an issue...if anything it generates more interest in the EQ IP and might get people to realize EQ:L exists who didn't otherwise.

I would expect the only thing EQL impacts is it creates a time barrier where there won't be anything released on P99 so as to not compete with new launch dynamics (pop spike). Now whether that time barrier even has any bearing on the P99 next server launch timeline is unclear. Still work to be done on the non-classic resists and channeling overhaul before P99 is ready for a new launch.

Why on earth would they do that? EQ:L is a box sale + monthly sub.

The RMT river has run dry on p99. Its over. Move on.

[feniin]

If EQ:L is profitable (it will be), I would expect a version of p99 or Quarm or both to be rolled out under Game Jawn's banner. Don't expect another free server, anticipate a paid version.

They definitely were. My brother transferred servers from The Seventh Hammer to Berotxx. They move the character and nothing else. He lost his Pegasus Feather Cloak and still bitches about it 25 years later.

[Ekco]

Server splits were 100% classic, they gave us to option to leave Fennin Ro due to the population being too high with a slash command and you got to take everything with you

I was thinking. No more Tom Cruise movie memes that are mind-numbingly limited in depth and value.

I was thinking, the switch.

i'm pretty sure their reasoning behind never getting a 'true classic' style experience on Live / TLPs is due to technical limitations between old mechanics / zones and the new 64 bit client. Think this EQ:L is the first attempt to bridge that gap and possibly the first domino to fall before darkpaw finally launches a p99 style experience from the official IP. Maybe its just copium :confused:
