Is it time for a new server?

That could be fun. Pick your three favorite items and start on the new server. I'd be game for that.

Luclin please. I know there's p2002, but that community doesn't compare to how socially active p99 blue is.

Even if p99 staff liked luclin (pretty sure they don't) and wanted to do a luclin server. I very much doubt there is enough players in addition to those already playing on blue to populate it to a healthy capacity without dividing the player base of blue.

Thats kinda the double edged sword TLP servers suffer... they ride a short wave of hype and "freshness" getting to relive that nostalgia, but after its faded it serves to only tear rifts in a already small community time and time again

Then you must consider the fact that they are a very small staff to begin with, the fact that p99 is great as it is nothing short of amazing (at least I think so).

Let's never forget this. I've still got that glint of novelty, having only played for a month or so. It's pretty cool that this even exists, is relatively populated, and is free.

Honestly, what if the devs just "accidentally lost" all character data and backups and just said "whoops, our bad, REMINDER: IT'S FREE" If it was convincing, we wouldn't see the endless whinging like we would if they announced their intentions and reasoning. That's like making a Star Wars movie, doing anything, and also doing nothing, is wrong.

Said it before and I'll say it again... You want to wipe the server and start over, fine. But when the server gets started over. Start it with everything already banned and nerfed.

Everything on the Removed Items list should not be put into the game and any changes the Mods/Devs made to epics and weapons should also be made.

Now, we can play with a new server...

I agree with this 100%. The reason why so many items were removed or nerfed is because they were deemed too powerful.

Maybe after green (true classic!) we can have GOLD server where broken items and glaring bugs (like yelinaks tiny Tormak faction hit) are fixed from day 1 (or whatever the subjective opinion of staff are improvements).

Still waiting for teams pvp.

I would like to see a new server where the content has been revised to give the classic feel of not knowing where everything is.

Mob levels are changed everywhere, named drop different loot. Paw of Opolla is now a mob drop, Fungus Tunic is a quest item, etc. Maybe tweak item stats and invent whole new ones. Spawn mechanics might change in different spots, maybe totally move named spawns... Rename all mobs and all statted items. Tradeskills revamped.

Nothing can be looked up on a wiki and it all feels brand new.

(I'm not volunteering to do all that work, mind you).

You didn't miss the "classic feel", there were a lot of inaccurate things and overpowered tactics that shit on the game right from the beginning that weren't fixed for years. Right now the game is more classic than it has ever been, but it's up to you to play in a way that gives you the nostalgia you crave. Start a no twink guild or group.

logged in, played for a few hours, ran into a lv 5 rogue with epic, 30 minutes later received Velious gear handout, quit and uninstalled decided to wait for server refresh, this is not the classic experience.

Rogues can't equip their epics until 46 though? Right?

This is a swiss cheese story similar to tales of being camped by level 60s at level 1 on the red server.
