Green on the mind

The twinking exaggeration is off the charts. These people would have you think every single lowbie is running around with best in slot gear. Also, if you think people on Green are going to be low level and low geared for long you are in for a surprise. There are going to major power gaming going on. Classic is so mind numbingly easy. Going to be just like blue after a month with 1-2 guilds locking everything down and major farming going on.

you're making a far greater exaggeration by implying a one month old server will look remotely the same as a 10 year old server.

Green is gonna feel fresh probably even as it merges with blue compared to the inflated mess people have been used to for the past 5 years

I would not be surprised if the first level 50 character arrives within a week of the green server opening. Unless the developers here mix up the zone experience modifiers, hardcore players will know which zones to camp and which zones to avoid. Once pesky real life aspects like sleep finally succumb a player, the account will transfer to the next guild member to continue camping and grinding.

While I hope people will succeed in their hopes and dreams, realistically the thoughts of people thinking, "I can finally get <this item>!" will be in for a rude awakening since again, those that will monopolize will not give up the camp except to their own.

And until Rogean and company state the (eventual) transfer rules to the blue server, as I believe Rygar mentioned in another thread, while magic users get to keep their spell books "as is", characters might get transferred to the blue server without coinage nor equipment.

Again, good luck to those heading to the green server for their destiny.

Which newbie zones will be me most open? The Erudite area? Warrens is hot, but most people like me don't want to be an Erudite. Same for gnomes, I dont like ugly little gnomes. I would imagine Befallen will be jampacked.
Maybe the Qeynos area will be best for finding mobs? Blackburrow will probably be packed too.
Which class can level the fastest in a saturated low level environment like this?

He was using the Test server as an example, which is a poor one, since it was exactly that - a test server. The only way his example works is if Blue were to merge into Green, and not the other way around, since Blue is the test server of P99.

But even if we took his example and applied it, what would be the point? Blue is already over-saturated with gear and platinum to the point of absurdity on a (then) 13 year old server. What's a few more manastones and NO DROP illusion masks? It would make absolutely no sense to wipe the characters of everything they earned in 3 years on Green, except for spells, just to merge them into a server that's had all that stuff for over a decade.

I feel pretty confident in saying there's absolutely zero chance that happens. We don't even know for sure if the characters will be merged onto Blue, much less that they'd wipe peoples characters.

You are correct, but like the guy posted earlier those that want to just play fresh EQ are going to have fun.

Feerrott is actually an amazing newbie zone if it's crowded. All the dangerous shit is separated by the river and there's a bunch of great camps similar to the orc camps in EC. Just far away from everyone but Ogres and Trolls

I was leaning ogre shaman anyway, so it wont take much encouragement for to do that.
There will probably be a wait list to get into Guk, I am sure though.

[DromalPhrenia]

how many deaths will be caused by fatties blocking hallways in guk?

All these negative Nancies out here "waaahhh green won't be what you think it is, it will be what i think it is whaaaaaaaa". Is anyone else excited to hunt in Runneyeye rolling deep with a gang of halflings in cloth armor and rusty weapons?

I did that once as a young halfling. An experienced, but unequipped, veteran Leatherfoot Raider gathered a group of us young halflings. He stank of jum, but promised riches. Runnyeye Citadel.

We battled down through goblins, close to the king's throneroom. The veteran halfling was unerringly familiar with the dungeon as if he had made the trip many times before.

Suddenly we were ambushed by a group of elite goblins. I hid but the other young ones bravely fought and died. The naked veteran stinking of jum looked at the barrel behind which I as hiding and gave a wry grin before disappearing in a blue explosion which I now know indicates a resurrection.

The only evidence of the haggard old dog's sortie into runnyeye was graffiti left on the wall alongside the corpses of the youngsters. It read "Filbus was here".
