So does this have any effect on plans to release further content? This news is rather anticlimactic for me since i grew tired of 2 expansions after about 4 months. I haven't been on p99 in a good while and probably won't unless enough content is actually released to fix the massive log jam you have going on at the high end.
I've wanted to ask for a while what server in EQ during the classic era had 12 guilds fighting over the same raid content.Of course the answer to that is "none of them did".

Yes the state of the current server is not optimal, otherwise they would not be going to the lengths they have been to "fix" things using guild tiers, loot rationing, faux instancing, etc. No it's not very classic but it is what it is for understandable reasons, the primary one being very limited volunteer resources working to get a release out the door while maintaining the existing system, which takes a lot of time.
I don't know if things will really improve when Velious drops, not sure if anyone does, but it won't fix the core of the problem, which is the large number of high level extremely well geared toons from years of farming.
There will indeed be a new blue progression server, likely some months after the release of Velious on the current server since I'm sure they will be busy enough maintaining that for a while. It has been stated that Velious is the end of the road for Project 1999, as far as we know there will never be an SoL, and thank *insert your God here if applicable* for that because it was the beginning of the end for truly Classic EQ.
If you ask me, people have actually been playing on the beta server all along without realizing it. The game experience won't be truly classic until the timeline mirrors classic, and that won't happen until all the development efforts are done and the progression server comes out. IMO that's going to be the first real classic experience up through Velious being offered by P99. Until then, thanks to everyone for your testing efforts
