A new server ?

It is unlikely that we will see any new servers for Project 1999 anytime soon. My advice is to not dwell on what you "missed" (like the weapons from Sleeper's Tomb before the Sleeper awoke) and instead focus on appreciating what you've found: a server where 99+% of the content its ever had is still available.

Someday, most likely several years from now, the P99 dev team will finish their grand goal of re-creating classic (through Velious) Everquest as perfectly as they can. When that happens, the plan is to release a new server, which the players call "Green" or "Recycle" (the devs have never given it an official name AFAIK).

That server will start as if it were day one of EQ's release, back in 1999, and then it will progress along the exact timeline that EverQuest originally followed. But again, Rogean and his team won't even start thinking about building this server until Nilbog and his team have completed the code for all of classic EQ. Since they haven't even released the Chardok 2.0 patch, we know that the new server is a very long way off (again, we're talking years, not months).

Hope that helps.

Where will this perfect code be stored? Will it be preserved in the money pit on Oak Island, or end up in a dirty Sharon Stone casino hallway?
