A question about a fresh server?

A historical timeline of this server should really be taken with a grain of salt. A lot of people love to throw around completely arbitrary numbers as to when a new server may start. The fact is, until they give us an official announcement, it's pure speculation.

What has been stated recently, is that Nilbog intends to run recycling servers sometime after Velious has been established.

Arbitrary?

Those are the actual timeline dates this server has followed. They are not arbitrary.

Pure speculation?

You mean, just pulling an idea out of one's ass? No, those dates indicate a trend, approach, and pace. The past does not necessarily predict the future, but it does allow for statements of likelihood.

Let me add some more strength to my "pure speculation". This is a free server run by eq enthusiasts. A second server would require additional csr -- more volunteer hours. Monitoring two servers -- especially a *new* server -- would require considerable manpower resources for it to be done up to p99's standards.

People forget this is a hobbyist server. It runs on the team's spare time, volunteered. There is no incentive for a second server, except as another stage of the experiment. They have no corporate deadlines to meet, no paying customers to try to squeeze dollars from, nothing except what they find fun.

Early 2018. Count on it.
