Dont cross the streams!
 

Listen, I've been a long time player on p1999. I've got a fungi, and an epic cleric on blue, and all that noise, so I've done my time when we still allowed Chardok Aoe grinding, and before that when account trading was a large commodity on the server.

Don't merge blue with green. It's got too many long term problems with gearing, and weird loot nonsense, and an economy that is so watered down, I could farm HQ bear skins for a few months and afford a fungi.

Green has a fresh economy, none of the bad history of blue, and as vastly smaller item economy making items feel worth while again.



People may be mad at the suggestion because they want to get "MUH PIXELS", but honestly, the pixels on green really are worth more because their rarity makes them feel more worth while again.

Also, I really dont want to force rename my character something because there's a billion characters on blue already that might conflict.

TLDR: Dump green into a Teal server, and keep blue and a raid server unto itself.

MUHHHH PIXELS!!!!
(lol)

Lmao stfu OP

did i hit a nerve or something?

Is this guy seriously suggesting they make another entire server (and split the community into 1/3 instead of 1/2) so their pixel items can be worth more pixel currency?

Holy fuck the mental illness

2 servers already splits the population too much. Three would be way worse. Nope.

Just reset all 3 boxes simultaneously. Who cares if blue players whine while they reroll to redo the exact same thing they've been doing for 20 years.
They'll shut up after a while

A better solution to blue's issues would be to just wipe blue. Erase a decade+ of ill gotten gains. The number of things that were abused for massive xp/loot/plat gains then later nerfed over blue's timeline is massive. Creating an additional server and further splitting the limited player community here is an asinine idea.

Wipe blue > Merge green into it > Green 2.0 > Merge again at end of timeline > Green 3.0

This was the original intent for the green "recycle" server and I believe it's the best way forward for this project. Probably kill off red and do something else with it too. Sub 50 player count avg server is pointless regardless of ruleset.

My suggestion is to keep the community split. Blue players can still play on blue.

Right now a lot of the push back is from blue players hoping that they'll see a revitalization in their population again so they can remain top dog.

Green players moved to green so they could get away from the historic issues blue had, both mechanically, and economically wise.

Blue isn't the focal point of p1999 community anymore, and it probably won't be again.

You can't just erase people's progress on blue. That would kill off half the server and undermine the concept of stability and security for a person's character on p1999.

Blue should be turned into a legacy server however, with the project's focus on Green cycles.

Green > Teal should be the main focus point.

Keep blue around for the legacy server that lets other people play their historical characters.

Blue's economy is so out of whack at this point, as PlsNoBan, pointed out, we shouldnt be mixing green items into that server.
