[Maliant]

Will green allowing boxing you think? Would be more truly classic.

Only possible if Daybreak let's them charge money. Limitless free boxed accounts is most definitely not classic.

I don't think green will ever really happen, just like custom blue content.

Well by definition if either of them happen it will be Green first, because Blue won't get custom content until Green exists.

I think I will go with Gnome Bertox Necro and try and compete with the other thousand players in farming a manastone or two. Also try and get a guise for a ranger or paladin alt.

But let's face it; all those things (manastone, guise, etc.) will be hoarded by our more "challenged" population, and their pals. It will not be easier, more accessible or fun.

I wonder how many guises are going to be deleted when people don't want to pay the poopsock crew for loot rights.

The one thing to consider is that guises and mana stones on Green won't be the same as they are on Blue. On Blue when you pay however many million plat for an item like that, you have it forever (or at least as long as P99 lasts).

On Green you get your Guise for two to three years max. Less if you don't level up ASAP and get one right when the server starts. So all those poop sockers and and life-less losers will be putting in all that effort for an item that will last, at most, between one half to one third as long as Kunark lasted here on Blue.

I'm not saying this will discourage farming these items, at least not initially, but when Green recycles I'd expect a lot of people to learn their lesson, and these items will be more attainable in Green v2.

As for a class, probably Shaman again, but not Barbarian (I've already made Loramin twice now, once on live and once here).

This is assuming there isn't some kind of roll over to blue, right? That'd be ideal state for me. I would be pretty sad to get attached to a character for 2 1/2 years for him to just poof when the cycle restarts.

A rollover would be best for green. Perhaps make it when the sleeper is awoken...

Good point. We still don't if there will even be a roll-over, and if they do have one what the details will be. For instance, will they transfer guises? How willl they handle names that are duplicated on both servers? etc.

But if they do have a roll-over and they do transfer guises and mana orbs and such, I suppose that will only encourage the farmers.

I like the idea, but that wouldn't be classic, and would put the server at the mercy of some of the least empathic people on the server. As I understand it Green will run literally as long as the live servers did before Luclin came out (though of course everything Green-related is unknown and I could be wrong about that).

Ending at luclin isn't classic either. So if going to have a roll over the idea is for players to progress a toon on a classic timeline and get items they can't get on blue along the way while enjoying the progression.

At the end of each cycle you could do it very simply and say "luclin released X days after classic so on this day server is reset and everyone gets 1 character roll over to blue

Or since Kerafrym is canon (look at EQ2 lore) for being the "apocalypse" you could have a conditional reset. Perhaps a few days after his release

I feel while "classic" the flat so many days period is kinda boring and unchanging and doesn't involve the players and cooperation at all.

Kerafrym release means it could go past the hard set X days time period if players cooperate. But once you get to a point of multiple keyed guilds and every one has the nuclear option or guilds get bored... You are on a server on the edge of apocalypse all the time... Makes it interesting

As for the question I would roll a ogre shaman and priotize getting a mask

Name duplication will be handled as follows:

If your name already exists on blue when green recycle starts, you are automatically named as a random Pokemon. But not one of the cool ones. You get something like Trubbish: the trash bag Pokemon. Yes...that is a thing.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Man, when I first saw Poketo Monsuta cards in Japan in '98 (my host nephews were in love with them so I'd pick up random packs for them whenever I went out) I had absolutely no idea what they would become (especially here in America).
