Green 2.0 advice

Green 2.0 is like red 2.0, won't happen. Hope that helps.
Edit: remember discord server luls, still waiting 10 years later.

Big part of me thinks green 2.0 won't ever happen but on the flip side I was skeptical that green 1.0 would happen so it's hard to say for sure. The lack of communication about plans for the future from the powers that be make it very difficult at times to have any faith in stuff like this. It may not be actually true but it FEELS at times like they don't really care too much about this project and they've just been running in maintenance mode. I could be totally off base and maybe they're truly passionate about it and are putting lots of unseen work in behind the scenes. But it's hard to see any of that as a player.

This is the exact same thing people said about Blue for years and then Green 1.0 happened eventually.

Likewise, Green 2.0 will eventually happen. The question is just will it happen sometime next year (as it seemingly should if the plan is to just constantly be re-rolling a fresh server once the old one reaches its timeline)? Or will it take longer than that because staff is moving slower on it.

Yeah it’s really based on this weird flawed subconscious feeling those people have that somehow if their characters are merged to blue then it’s pointless to play them. I still really love playing my chars on blue. I did original green but honestly I’ve been having so much fun on blue lately I might not do green 2.0.

Moving a character to blue isn’t a death sentence

Except time-limited items are classic....

I didn't state otherwise. Is that your fifth straw man argument just up until this state. Sad.

Leaving time-limited items as is for the entire lifespan of a server or removing them entirely wouldn't make that particular server "non-classic" in any way, shape or form – as Zill writes, even "classic" isn't really "classic" here in 2022...

Removing item from game entirely = Not classic

Making them drop forever = Not classic

So, again, seems like you're not a fan of certain aspects of classic EQ. Which is all good, you don't have to be, but if you're not then you might want to find a server that has what you want (which seems to be "either allow me the opportunity to camp certain items for the entire life of the server, or delete them entirely if there's a chance someone else might have one but I won't").

A server can certainly be classic without doing 1:1 patches. You do know that you can't wind the clock back to actual '99, right...

And no, "cd288", I'm not talking from an "I" perspective here, but from a healthier server in general perspective as in what would benefit the majority and health of the servers the most in the long run, as stated numerous times by now. But you seem very stuck in a "me, me, me"-perspective, so I get why you wouldn't understand something like that.

And enough with your childish "go find another server" arguments, as you very well know there are none even close.

[Zill]

Truly the only way to have a genuine "classic" EQ server is to create a classic server like P1999 but restrict populations based on playstyles.

Casual server for people with jobs and kids and lives, etc. Hardcore server for everyone else.

THAT's what Red should be imo - instead of wasting server space catering to the 5 guys that enjoy EQ PvP they should invert it and turn it into a carebear PvE space and call it Pink

Except you’re acting like your opinion is some massively held opinion that makes all these large numbers of people go “well I would play P99 if it wasn’t for them making manastones classic”

In reality, there aren’t really any of those people. Theirs not some huge group of people sitting around just waiting for P99 to take manastones out of the game in order to join the server. The server is just fine. We have close to 2k pop a lot of the time across both servers.

You can have your opinion but stop acting like you just have some altruistic intention in mind to help all these people play P99

mad about guise and manastone
