What should happen in a post-sleeper Velious?

[Naethyn]

Anyone in software development can tell you 6+ years later it doesn't matter what your original plan was. The server has evolved and so has the player base. Just because half a decade ago the originator wanted a classic experience, doesn't mean we have to limit anything because of that. As the server and population stands today, it only makes sense to eventually release Luclin. P99 has impacted more people than anyone probably expected. It goes without saying that the project should be evaluated as we go.

"Luclin onward.. I just can't get onboard with. I played the expansions up to like omens of war. It was all right, but mostly just a big waste of my time.

I'd rather have a completely custom game after Velious than rebuild that fail. Cats on the moon not happening on my watch."

PS. They also ripped out all the code for AAs and whatever other Luclin stuff, sure that could probably be fixed but would take quite an amount of work and effort but why put all that work and effort into something you don't believe in in the first place?

I hope the GM silence on this issue is intentional. Let the dust clear, then reset. If it doesn't reset I'm likely done until next server launch. I came to P99 seeking to farm the warders, met great folks along the way and hoped to get to the end game with them.

I have done all the other content in velious on live but the warders.

There will be no reset. It's classic.

My guess is Rogean et. al. were members of Rampage and this is basically them enjoying the last bit of Velious (Waking the Sleeper) before more or less being done with the server. They'll leave it on, sure, but at this point I wouldn't set my expectations very high.

I mean, there was talk of the Discord server that has never happened. My guess is after this many years they are just burnt out and want to move on.

If this is true and we were lied to by gm sources well this is the end of p99 for a lot of people.

Sources? Got links or screen shots? This is an old old dead horse topic answered again and again until blue in the face. Guess "a lot" of people are just not so bright? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't know why players keep claiming the staff said there will be a reset. I have never seen any official source say they would do a reset. In fact, I remember in a stream hearing Nilbog say that the sleeper not being reset is classic.

You're correct. Who knows though, custom content may involve putting Kerafyrm back to sleep one day. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah it wasn't reset, just revamped in 2002. First to the legends server then some weeks later to the rest. I don't know the details, just model updates and some pre-awakening content/mobs whatever. Was always meant to be a one-off I guess. At least it never turned into a repeatable solo encounter for some lvl105 bard. Custom content would be better, a little bit, I mean that was part of the point of the legends server, though I heard it was a bit lame there.

btw couldnt vote for the last one with "progress" too open for interpretation. No bush/towers, so went for Nowhere [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If we want to get technical there is precedence on live for resetting thhe sleeper therefore resetting would be "classic". I will admit resetting it was not widely used on all servers, but it did happen.
