Been away for a while - new server anytime soon??
 

I have been away from P99 for a while and was curious if there was any new information on a new-server/re-boot starting any time soon? I seem to recall it was being discussed a while back.

Like velious.... Maybe I should join red....

Since there is no anouncement with a date for it yet (as far as i know), i expect a year waiting time at least.

in 5 minutes

Im curious how they will handle duplicate names once the server eventually merges with blue

They'll just add "kilzorz" to the end of each name.

I meant the hypothetically upcoming green server merging with blue. Not red, who would play on red? Ugh, gross.

twink.

Characters will be twinked to the gills within a month. Lol.

What exactly is the point of a new server? People with a moderate amount to a ton of time invested on the current server won't want to lose all of their progress.

The only reason I can see to start on a potentially new server is

A) you're a (probably former IB, etc) neckbeard who has already quit the current blue server and is going to play 24/7 and race to control content
B) you're literally brand new and haven't gotten above 20 on the current blue server

It's not going to be fun playing with group A, and group B has nothing to gain by choosing a new server over the old server where the price on good low level twink items (ex Wu's staff) are already hilariously cheap.

Did no one play past level 20 on red when the server launched? It was literally Lovely, Holocaust, etc. playing 24/7 locking down every single camp of importance. It absolutely sucked for truly new players, and that was with the ability to actually kill the people at the camp. Imagine IB locking down guise literally every second of the day with no ability to pvp them for 3 months straight.
