Hopes for the future of p99

[azeth]

On the Paludal caverns debate:

I meant level 40, not 50. My mistake.

add a new blue server with 6 months to a year progression per expansion, and you would probably have 600 people playing on the old blue server and 1,300 on the new.

Makes more sense than a discord server to me. Although I would also play on a discord server.

Im pretty sure you meant lvl 28-30. Afterwards everyone either went to paw, mm or various outside zones.

I hope P99 shuts down for an entire year and reopens. I think it will help public communications between staff and player.

I can't give you an ETA, but I can add some information.

Since Kunark development, we have used a rule-based system when developing content and code. What this means is the work needed to add/remove timeline features only has to be done once, and a rule applied for the era.

For example, when a server is released (original eq launch date: march 1999), rubicite and manastones should drop until ~October 1999. When a new server is launched, all that is necessary is to set the correct era rules. The era switches allow us to apply rules to spawns, loottables, items, spells, doors, tradeskills, etc so they may be enabled/disabled without even a patch.

It has been, and still is the plan to release a timeline correct server a certain amount of time after Velious is complete. Velious still lacks 2 zones; Stonebrunt and Chardok revamp. There are patches between and after those times which need to be developed.

This would make me so hard. I didn't hear about P99 until 2014, well into Kunark, and I'd relish the chance to be on a vanilla EQ server again. I am slightly worried about what it would do to the blue population however.

Well of course it would split the pop. The newer people who have joined the last couple of years would more than likely run to it, while the long time vets wouldn't budge. I don't know though, I would love to have a fresh start myself.

I just want a Classic-->PoP experience with a populated server. Probably wont ever happen again unless Phinny.

Hey everybody! Another "Let's ruin the project because I've been playing it too much and now I'm bored" thread.

Hey everyone, another troll. This is not about being bored. I love the game. But it's a fact that, after full velious is finished, the game will stagnate without a promise of future content or some kind of change. Having a discussion on what people hope for is not hurting anything. It may even serve to give the devs ideas to that end.
