Proposed Velious Option (Actual Classic Server Following Classic Timeline)
 

As we look forward to the release of Velious, can we think back to the reason for Project 1999? It was to follow a classic timeline for the release of expansions to emulate what occurred between 1999 and 2001.

So, I propose that at some point close to when Velious is released on P1999 Blue, can you please also launch another classic server, that starts with the launch of classic and follows the true timing of the release of expansions? (I.e. After 11 months, Kunark, 12 months later, Velious. And then when Shadows of Luclin is set to be released, merge this ACTUAL Project 1999 server with our current Project.

This server would also have no GM intervention from the community standpoint (no GM raid rules, no variance).

The reason for this is that the server as it stands now is clearly not classic from the standpoint of the true purpose of the Project. We also now know of duplicated platinum, and the great number of rare items in circulation (Donal's BP), not to mention the vitriolic conversation about raid rules -- to be administered by GMs.

You request it, like its time/money hosting free.. really simple.

- Get real.

Well they already waste both on the red server so what would be new.

I thought I remember reading that the devs had already expressed interest in doing something like that someday once all of the Velious and post-Velious content was completed. Too lazy to search for the post though.

Yup from what I understood this blue server is more or less a test run. When everything is all said and done and the content is complete/clean I imagine another blue server will be opened.

You have guild pals on red, why would you say such a thing? :(

Verant did so many stealth adds/nerfs its a bit hard to figure out what classic really means. Hopefully they have all the previous patches lined up so one day they could do this...

Which will be never, thankfully.

You say that now... wait until 2017, you'll be hugging those cat avatars through the screen and pleading with Rogean for more content :p

I don't think Nilbog is a cat person.
