Can we please sticky this? This post alone could answer 1-2 other posts per day.

I only see one person that ever addresses this question, that's Llandris. If it were not for him, we'd constantly be in conspiracy mode, debating and theorizing this topic.

I too wish they'd sticky it, so we could just refer people to this point of what is in store for the future for P99.

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.

There are options which haven't been fully discussed. One option is as you said, once the new server reached the end of Velious, merge those characters back into the original existing p99 servers. At that point, start a new one. i.e. Recycle

Yes. Once the current timeline is completed, a new server (Recycle99) will be launched from Vanilla to SoV using the correct timeline of patch and content releases. There is still quite a bit of work to be done on P99, which is why you have not heard any news on a new server. Announcements will be made once the staff has something to offer to the player base.

this is the first time I seen some real official stuff in a while and it makes me pretty happy

Llandris, can we expect a new PvP server, specifically a teams PvP server ever? Or has p99 given up on that concept?

Llandris is trolling you. The real p99 is going to be an invite only server and none of us toxic neckbeards will be allowed to play :P.

There's been a third, empty server set up since the end of velious beta. They said they were going to launch something on it 2 years ago. Recycle 99 won't happen lol.
