Yea I told her that buffs was big in DAOC. They say no buff bots but if they are not ran like p99 i see people circumventing that easy. And especially at launch with SO many people. How can they control it? Got a big staff ?

Read first post and skipped the rest. In case nobody else mentioned it. This server survived 5 years of Kunark with a shittier raid scene than we have right now with casual guilds getting even less raid targets than they're getting now with the top 1-2 guilds getting an even bigger slice of the available pixel pie.

Your doomsday mindset is drastically underestimating how addicted people are to this video game. The server isn't even close to dying. Does the raid scene suck in a lot of ways? Sure as shit does. But it's been worse for literally YEARS at a time and it's still here. I don't get how you can possibly think it will be different this time.

Ok...of course. I don't think You read past the first line. If you did you misunderstood or do not know how MMORPG work.
I stated p99 will be here forever. Its ever crack. BUT the specific 2 servers we have now will be toast and you saying they will survive what my first post said is wishful thinking at best.

At the very least read this one and reply, please
Do You honestly think p99 blue our current server will be thriving alive forever IF a new p99 blue server 2.0 was released this month ? One that followed the correct no 5 year kunark timeline?
That is what you claim in your post, and I mentioned that in the first post so either you believe it or you are lying or not very good at reading comprehension. Which is it.
Now after realizing that you just skimmed and didn't read (what im assuming).
Do you still feel the way you posted?
Because if its lying or believing still , I will see ya whenever they do release some of my predictions.

It is not a doomsday mindset its common fact.
I have gamed my whole life and I cannot even think of a server still fully alive that i played on, you must be lucky or just made a honest reading mistake. Will be nice to know what you believe.

I'm honestly surprised Red isn't already shut down. 72 people on the entire server right now. How is that even worth the server cost?

As far as Blue obviously if a new Blue 2.0 or Green99 server was launched Blue would see a HUGE population decrease. I think a good chunk of people would stick around though. Lots of the more casual folk that don't want to start all over and will finally see the endgame content open up to them cause I'd imagine a vast majority of the top tier raid guilds will start on the new server. But we're kinda getting ahead of ourselves on this subject aren't we? A new blue server or Green99 is soooooooooooooo far off if it even happens at all. Remember Discord server that was supposed to come out like... 6 months ago or whatever? A whole lot of worrying about something that isn't happening for years or maybe never imo.

Can someone explain what "16 hour variance" means?

Thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Raid target dies. The mob will re spawn 7 days, and in the case of a few mobs 3 days, + or - 8 hours from the last time the raid target died. The mob characterized as having a 16 hour varied window.

I thought it just had something to do with how many changes of socks needed to camp the mob...

Surprised with the response and appreciate it. Because the trolls would of just acted like they had a typo or something , throwing stuff at the wall in desperate hopes of it sticking. Takes a man to admit shit.

Probably wouldn't be a huge population decrease on blue. Both servers will be played simultaneously by a lot of people.

Pretty much this. The casual crowds will be like "omg a chance to get a guise and manastone" only to find those camps are locked down by a nonstop hardcore syndicate selling the drops.
