Knowing the majority of the P99 playerbase, I doubt any Corona Stay At Home orders have changed their lives at all.

There was a beard on that neck preCorona. Check

UberEats and DoorDash were the most used apps preCorona. Check

The sun and outside was a distant friend preCorona. Check

The W-2s looked the exact same. Only source of income was RMT. Check

Diabetes. Check

Ghoulish skin. Check

50% chance of being either an Incel or a Cuck. Check


Everything would have happened regardless of Corona. A documentary could be made about Corona 10 years from now and they would ask how everyone's lives changed. EQ people... Not at all.

I like this kid, but you forgot hormone pills !

PS Charlie is dirt poor

I love when people throw the “classic experience” thing out there because it means they don’t actually have anything to back up their argument. You said you showed up on the server with a full group of people and because you can’t take a full group to camping spots that another server is needed. I think you had unrealistic expectations because it’s always been hard to slot a full group into a camp. I’m guessing you guys also don’t really go off the beaten path and have mostly been focusing on high ZEM zones/dungeons. I’ve leveled multiple chars on Green and have not had an issue getting XP, especially if you’re willing to level out in random zones/areas of the world instead of only the popular places...

At any rate, Galach just said he doesn’t see a second server happening. So I think we can move this to resolved as you got your answer

The only thing that is clear is you continue to twist my words to fit your agenda. You appear to make as many false assumption as Bigsham and troll as much as him, you're just more articulate than him.

I did not state the classic experience was being able to roll into any camp we wanted. That is you projecting. We would have to move around but we would have decent success moving around and finding desirable camps for upgrades about 50% of the time for a group of 50s. That isn't the case now due to COVID-19 work from home crowding.

You're projecting again stating we don't go off the beaten path and focus on high ZEM zones/dungeons. I'm well known for taking our group everywhere to experience the game and having strangers join us for making new friends but the available places are limited at 50.

How do you play again to bring back the classic experience?

PS Galach seems like a great guy but he's not the decision maker just as I'm not the decision maker. Sorry not resolved. Troll on.

So in your post before this one you conveniently ignore his comment that the reason they don't have two servers is they don't have a sufficient amount of staff to manage both.

Also, you're right I'm suuuuure the head GM of the server has no say in whether they split the servers or not. In reality, I think that would probably be the primary person Nilbog and Rogean would consult with since they don't want their volunteer GM to be overwhelmed by having two servers to have to monitor. We've already seen what the Teal/Green split did to the economy BEFORE there were as many higher level characters as we have now...can you imagine what would happen allowing all those high level people to farm items and plat on more than one character and more than one server simultaneously and then have them re-merge? I also am always surprised by how many people are so against boxing, but seem totally fine with the idea that we would have two servers where people would be leveling two characters at once at the same time.

As for your waiting in line for a group, the only places where I've experienced that are the most popular dungeons/high ZEM zones. Maybe you should try going off the beaten path. Or maybe classic pre-Kunark just isn't for you (I'm guessing you didn't play pre-Kunark back on live or you would remember that content is limited in this era), or maybe classic EQ isn't for you in general and something with pick zones would be more your speed to ensure that you can start doing whatever you want right when you log in.

Don't allow boxing characters on Green and Teal2.0. Problem solved.

Remove MS, Rubicite, JBoots drama camps. Problem solved.

Remove need for 300 people to raid fear and 150 people raiding Vox at 4:30 AM. Problem solved.

I believe the staff previously stated during the time Teal was around that it’s not easily feasible to prevent people playing on both. So now you’re demanding they pay for a new server for you to play on for free, and also take on the burden of trying to prevent people from playing on both simultaneously. Got it.

You and your projection that I play for free and the rest of your projections surprise me. Please tell me why you aren't supporting P99?

Tells me I’m projecting and then projects/assumes something about me. Dude your comments are getting amazing

You sound clever to your self but your arguements are aloof. You are projecting maximum. Putting groups together and xping where you need stuff is classic. Grinding shit zem and no loot spots when you know better is not classic. Comparing server pops as a measure of classic experience is not logical. Numbers can be misleading

And nay sayers always say nay.

Why is this still a discussion? The majority of posters in this thread after that bringing teal would enhance their experience. The poll to bring back teal is overwhelmingly in favor.

Thankfully this isn’t the Olsen days or game of thrones where 2 people decide the fate of the world. The masses have spoken.

Now it’s up to the GMs to decide to do it or not.

Ah so the real issue comes out. It’s not that everywhere is too crowded, it’s that you don’t want to play in a place unless it’s going to be min maxing your XP and providing you with good loot. Sounds like a real good reason for them to open another server /eyeroll
