Isn't it time to find out what lies in the future for the servers?

That much isn't speculation - it's literally what they said. Lol

That's right, and here's a link if anyone wants to see it for themselves:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=333743

Project 1999 Green is a new PVE server without any patches or expansions enabled upon release. Old-style mechanics and drops will be enabled, including legacy items such as Guise of the Deceiver and Manastone. The server will then progress through all patches on the same timeline as Everquest's original launch, all the way up to the last patch in Velious.

Green Lifetime
The green server will, at a time yet to be decided, eventually merge into blue and start over again. This merge will not happen until at least 6 months after the last patch in velious (No earlier than January 2023).

Yeah but then there was uproar and they walked it back to "we are going to continue discussions as to the future of the server".

I'd still be surprised if they didn't. The population isn't strong enough to support three servers, Green would be the new red

I’ve said before on this forum that I think it would be cool to be asked to come raid because there isn’t enough people online to kill something

The end game population shrinking far enough for that to occur seems a long way off

Right now what I hear in guild chat goes like this:

“Hey [x] raid target is up, who wants to come kill it?”
[people begin volunteering and forming into groups]

[20 seconds later…] “nm it’s dead”

I’ve seen that same scenario repeated multiple times in a night where targets die less than 2 minutes after spawning, the last time was around 1:30am last night

Dead end game? Gonna take a while for that it seems

Yeah dead end game will never happen. I mean look what’s happening on Green, it’s the same hardcore raiders from Blue doing the same raids on two different servers. When you’re locked through two expansions the top guilds never move on to newer targets

Ya the more I learn about the end game the more it disappoints. But I can’t say it was a surprise, people had been warning me on the forum for years

It seems that after killing a named raid mob the uber guilds will just set a timer to know the second it will spawn again, and then just leave their char logged out right at that spot, ready to log it on a minute before it spawns. Leaving their char logged out for like a week doesn’t affect them, because they have multiple max or near-max level chars

Even bosses like some dragons that require lower levels (51 or less I believe?) can’t be killed by newer players because the uber guilds have alts permanently kept at those levels where that dragon spawns, logged out with a timer running

So maybe I should start getting more into alt-making…

I'm certain it must be lucrative. As in measured in real dollars.

It's usually at this point that I normally suspect even the people that own the servers of real money trading when I hear something like this.

The only people who are worried about a merge are the ones who are speculating or will have their existing blue investments mucked with.

Blue and Green will join like captain planet.

do firiona vie

do full on hardcore trivial loot code

do pvp

no pnp

allow kill stealing

sullun zek rules

that is the only way to revive deadquest outside of just a nostalgia wall simulator

I hope they don’t do green 2.0 right away. I would love to have awhile where there is just one server with a very healthy population as opposed to two low population servers. Don’t get me wrong to a certain extent it’s nice to be able to basically do whatever you want because the pop is low, but it just feels empty and not like a true EQ experience.

I also think that delaying Green 2.0 for a bit will help get a large population on that server when it restarts. Let the anticipation build and let people get back into the mode of being excited to start fresh after they’ve played on the merged server for a bit.
