Can we talk about the future of P99?

My guess was that they contractually cannot ask for it or that would be piracy.

Im hoping its the surprise release but after as many years as it's been I'm skeptical.

It's not a money issue. Plus if you launched a new PVE server that would mean merging Green and Blue, so you'd still have the same total number of servers as you do today.

As Loramin noted, it's just a lack of energy/time/interest issue. Not sure if your forum join date is accurate to when you first started playing here, but if it is then you probably weren't around for the discussions about the first server post-Blue that bounced around for quite awhile (years before Green actually came out IIRC). A new server will happen eventually but it will likely be quite awhile before it does. We're about two years from the last patch on Green and about a year and a half from the absolute earliest point the staff said they would consider merging...so it really hasn't been THAT long since the latter if you think about it.

There are probably a bunch of classic changes that they want to implement for the new Green. Other things like the list system to sort out in terms of whether they want to do that or find ways to improve upon it. Just generally a bunch of things that require time and energy if they want to launch a new server, and they just don't have the personal capacity for it at this time. Eventually they will get interested in it again and we'll see a new server.
