Would they ever consider a fresh server?
 

I'm sure this idea has been out there a lot, i'm just curious if there's ever been official word on it? This server has been out so long, as someone who joined late 2016, it'd be really cool to see a fresh server.

I'm good on that.

Once the current beta server finishes the plan is to release a new server with accurate timeline on patches

There is a reason Velious Beta forums are still up.

Live Velious never launched. They just kept a DB backup of the last day of Kunark, and claimed Velious launched so that people would extensively beta test it.

Once the timeline is finished they'll revert to their backup data and launch Velious so that we can experience it all as intended. With fixed AE resists, no binding in dungeons, lazy aggro, etc.

Trolling? Or serious? Maybe im tripping right now?

Question is, what class would people roll first on fresh server?

The same class of people that play here now that poopsock & FTE Circle yank.
O wait, you meant... nm.

P99 was fresh at one time! Class breakdown, overall, was broadly similar to how it is at present with only relatively minor differences. In particular I recollect seeing somewhat more Mages than now because Magicians are proportionally more powerful at 50 than they are at 60 (the minority who have the epic pet notwithstanding). Hybrids were at the bottom of the popularity list, just like now. Druids and Necromancers and solo classes in general were popular, as always.

Sirken confirmed on his podcast few years back that they will make a new server once p99 is finished with all of its updates, and patches and what not. it will start from classic and go to velious then merge with the blue server when its done so that the population increases then it starts over again. they will be calling it p99 green from what I heard on his podcast
