Introducing Project 1999: Green

[Izmael]

Can you imagine the ungodly amount of CSR that will be needed if there's a name wipe? Not sure the team is willing to face that, considering it's a free project.

I wanna congratulate us all on this milestone!

We have a classic eq experience comming up, with a classic lifespan timeframe comming up!!
I made a lil paypal donation out of gratitude, thanks for good work.

I am very excited to experience original era Everquest without quality of life improvements as a dwarf paladin. I want to take groups into places not normally grouped in for xp like befallen and najena.

Actually Najena will be packed in the early months because JBoots drop there!

Nilbog and all others who have invested their time and money into Project 1999 (now and throughout the years), thank you. Sincerely, thank you. You probably don't hear this enough.

[AegnorP99]

Bah, this sounds amazing. Might need to give it a try.

Thanks for all the hard work, dev team.

Donate some $$ for the server or you are a scrub

Character Names
You will not be able to create a character on Green with the same name as a character on Blue, unless you are on the same account that owns that character on Blue. We may also bring the server up early to allow character creations ahead of time. We will try to announce this as much in advance as we can.

This is kind of a bummer. Part of the appeal to me for the Green Server was a shot at getting names I wasn't able to before. Is there any consideration being made towards purging accounts that have been inactive for years? There has to be accounts from pre Kunark that are sitting there untouched holding names that new players could be taking. A purge would be in line with live EQ practices as well.

I don't think a character purge is the answer mate. Had I came back and found my characters and stuff gone I would not have played. Them not doing that kind of crap is exactly one of the main reasons I play here. Loosing some of my toons in the first server merge on EQ Live is what made me quit that game on the spot in the first place years ago. I didn't hardly touch the game after that for the better part of a decade or more because of it. Nobody grinds to loose their progress. That being said I would say something more along the lines of names on inactive accounts for like 6 months to no longer then a year if you have not logged in should become available on the new server. Other MMO's have done this and I think it's an excellent solution for it so that nobody looses and everybody wins. Problem solved. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also aside from them being complete total and utter morons and messing things up and not fixing them back during server merges they have never intentionally purged characters on EQ Live that I have ever seen. That's only ever happened purposely or otherwise when servers have been merged together. And again one of the very main reasons I dropped them like a bad habit. lol I just recently logged in to EQ Live to see some of the changes out of pure curiosity. My toons that remained untouched on Firiona Vie are still there. Granted I quit for a over a decade so I got to ask what purge practice on EQ Live are you referring to mate? Because the only toons I had that survived the merge because they were on a specialized server are still there surprisingly and well alive and kicking. Lmao!!!! [You must be logged in to view images.
