Beating a Dead Horse

[HippoNipple]

There is already a really simple solution that has been brought up many times. They have a 3rd server. Start up a new PvP server identical to Red99 and have it merge with the old Red99 every 3 years.

1 year classic, 1 year kunark, 1 year velious

There are no resets or wipes.

That would lead to a cycle where the devs had to either continuously release new servers every X time, reset the new server after X time, or just allow the new server to lapse into the same problems.

And besides, we don't have enough players for that.

Yes, a Dev would need to manually come on and release an expansion once a year. Every 3 years they would need to reset a server. I don't see the problem. As far as population goes I don't think that many people would play on the current Red99, or at a minimum the ones raiding would play both and only log on the current server for raids.

The idea is that there is never a wipe which these Devs have stated they will never do.

why merge at all is the question

The idea of the merge is just to solve the problem of not wiping a server. I personally would rather the server just reset every 3 years and wipe. Maybe they would be up for that with a new server if they were up front about the wipe before it started.

The point of my question is its gonna suck all the life out of the original server, anyways. And the only real positive is people holding onto their pixels. Which is going ruin the economy on the newly populated server. Not even leaning on the chance that sick individuals will be playing both servers. And that just means more staff or most likely even less, with explosive personalities. Ultimately I think it'd be a shit show, but I'm completely not against anything at this point.


I'm completely behind a wipe. There should be a chance at an actual classic timeline.

Rogean said it would never happen, though. And p1999 is by far the best classic EQ experience out there, due to the stellar code base, anti cheating, and rules against multiboxing.

At this point, the only things I know of which might happen, and could produce an actual classic experience (instead of the nihilistic and stale server we have now) are:

1. Rogean releases a teams server, which seems unlikely.
2. Rogean releases the source code and someone else makes a stable and popular server, also unlikely.
3. Daybreak makes better classic servers which don't allow multiboxing, very unlikely.

Not holding my breath.

but keep yellow text and ooc because classic experience

those didn't (and continue) to contribute to the server state. nope

Rogean said experience increase would never happen.

no wipe

server is fine

everyone asking for a wipe does not play or represent the current player base of red99

we have a blue serer and a red server

no need for a 3rd server or a reset or wipe, with all the information we have its counter productive, not everyone can have a manastone, or guise sorry you lost your chance
