Green on the mind

[Vokhine]

People who like to twink will carry on.

You wait til you're the 6th person replying to someone selling a minotaur axe for an upgrade, people aren't prepared.

After 9 years of p99, on and off and so on I dont think I have the heart to play on Green.

Its kinda like with SWGEmu years ago. I was having a gay ass old time in the world making whatever and whenever and accumulated enough resources to keep on going for whatever alt that tickled my dick. But then they wiped the server to apply a gigantic patch.

All my characters gone
All my blasters, rifles and melee weapons galore just gone.
I never could get back into SWGemu since then. Its been a long time too and that urge is just not there anymore.

I imagine Green also being that trigger, an end of an era. The population will get split either being a blessing or a curse depending on where your flag is. And while nothing will be wiped it still feels like the end.

Green is a mistake from my point of view.
In various discords there are people planning way way ahead, 1 bard, 5 leeches, zones to pick and what ever else. I know over in RnF I was kidding about a raid filled with level 20-30s for ass/sup with mage summoned weapons but its going to be a reality. I had a few alts in the pipe gathering misc belts and chips to PL to early teens and now I figure.. meh.

Green was always the endgame(spoilers) of p99. You're talking like someone who plays on a test/beta without realizing it's going to get wiped and then gets angry when they lose their progression. You're also talking about how it's fun to trivialize everything with twinking/PLing but not fun to play on a fresh server where you can actually die. The very fact that you're despairing over not being able to cheat the game by PLing your own alts with bonechip quests is evidence that you're already tired of EQ. You're talking like someone who overfed on nostalgia and was bored before they even realized it, but then blamed that boredom on a server wipe.

You're also talking like someone who isn't going to do something because they are afraid of other people ruining it for them before they even give it a chance. In the words of a certain idiot I know, "I ain't all about dat FPS life anymore dawg. People even cheat in tournaments." Imagine for a second being so dumb that you never play a shooter anymore because someone somewhere used an aimbot/wallhack at one point. That's what it's like to not try green (which is free) because you think other people are going to ruin it.

Maybe consider what green represents. Zones no one went to filled with people. No twinks. No PLs. A fresh economy. Groups at all levels. No teleports. Binds won't even be easy to get for a while. No class preference for groups (except in super extreme nerdlord cases). Druids and wizards being useful (since everyone won't have OT hammers).

Or instead you could complain about how you may as well kill yourself because you may never get a guise so everyone should spend their entire life farming ToV. Btw I gave away a guise using /ooc in Toxxulia during the Kunark launch event even though I didn't have one on any of my characters. Guess what no one cares, no one knows it happened and it didn't impact my life at all. Hell whoever looted it was probably a level 2 erudite that quit the game a month later. Being a dark elf druid isn't what EQ is about.

Avoid the first wave (or level casually), admit defeat on a guise/manastone and there's still potential for it to be good.

People spending a lot of time thinking about guises and manastones. Remember your guise is going to be stuck on a character with 2-3 x's (or some weird spelling) at the end of their name by the time the server rolls back into blue (or red) <3

Pretty much my thoughts. However, if I admit defeat on a guise, I have no reason to go green.

[Jerri]

With all the poop socking that will go on over on green, I think I'll stay on blue.

[White_knight]

Yah I will stay on blue too - sorry: see sig, I don't want to make more toons. I'm too old for starting over and over.

[jolanar]

I think I'm just too casual to compete with the inevitable tidal wave of poopsockers. Unless they extend the time that guises drop or something I just don't see a point in playing green.
