Heh
It must be an amazing feeling for you devs, having to open yet another server 20 years later in this ancient game to comfort the crowds. I'm so humbled by your efforts. In 1999 i was a student playing in my dorm scared shitless from losing my corpse, now i am 20 years older and still scared, but for other reasons! Teal away [You must be logged in to view images.

Thanks Rogean, Nilbog and all of the staff contributing to the project. We started live late on a new server in POP and never had the chance to know classic well, as it is best played. The old world really had all of the charm! One day in the not too distant future, when my wife and I both retire, we hope to really sink our teeth into your virtual museum of fun. For now we'll luckily find space to dabble. Keep up the good work. | |||

Remember the servers that were race wars - had like gnomes, halflings, dwarves vs ogre troll dark elf, vs high wood half elf vs human barbarian and whatever maybe half elf was there. Anyways - that pvp was awesome.
Also god-based pvp.

I play off-peak hours due to my career and family. I'm still struggling with getting mobs and inadvertently being KS'd, during those hours. So I can only imagine what it's like at the peak hours. My guess is that the vast majority of p99 players are in the midst of their careers, many with family or other RL obligations, which is very different than what our lives looked like when we were kids in 1999. So I have to imagine the thinning out is great for the majority of us. I
'm a huge fan of this project and the staff and trust their decision making here. As was stated in the post, they will monitor and adjust accordingly. I have to imagine that boxing both green and teal would be disallowed since this effort is for population control, but trust their judgement regardless. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out. Big thanks to the staff for managing the situation and, well all that you guys do!

Thank you Rogean and staff
This is an excellent response to the situation on Green atm The only ones who could object are those who prefer bottlenecks and rate themselves compared to others' progression (in English, no life neckbeards playing in momma's basement) This will not result in a long term population split as some have decried, once the overpopulation problems have ceased the servers will merge. I have faith in the staff to judge this, I am sure that they have no motive to maintain multiple servers any longer than is necessary, that would just be extra work for them in the long run. | ||

I don't get it.
Live had many many servers to handle population. This is the same issue. As others have said, the only people I am seeing that are really upset at this change are the guys who judge their success by the sheer quantity of the people who can't have what they have. Those players are sickos. With teal, more players can enjoy the game. Its a no brainer. | ||

Really happy with the decision to split and the temporary ability to /move.
The only reason I can see people not wanting it is because they just want to monopolize certain items and keep others down. The only thing I hope is that you can't box teal and green at the same time or those same people will just see it as a new challenge to keep both servers locked knowing they'll eventually merge and then have x2 the items. | ||
