Green 2 isn't going to come for years, regardless of whether or not staff makes the right decision and makes red 2.0

This project seems to like to allow people to flourish at the top of the heap and enjoy their ill or hard gotten gains or whatever.

To roll out a new PVE server right away would be to pull the carpet out from those dudes.

Red server has a chance of coming relatively soon.

Green server? 2 years or more is my guess.

There is no way staff is dumb enough to repeat green 1.0 legacy item implementation. It's going to be substantially different. Green 1.0 was the worst EQ experience you could have if you wanted to be like a top player, or even an average guy enjoying questing because of the log jams at all decent value item locations.

So ya don't worry this guide will be obsolete because staff doesn't hate the players enough to do green 1.0 a second time.

I think it will be several months to a year between Green 1.0 and 2.0. I think there are various classic changes that will be implemented this time around and will likely need some time to get in place.

That’s the truth. So many unemployed neck beards lurking these forums just eating up content and crying for more, more, MOAR. Green isn’t even an old server, and these noobs want another one already… lol. Rogean probably still recovering from launching Green 1.0.

Years pals. Get used to it. That’s how long volunteer side hobby shit takes to get done when you aren’t an unemployed neck beard.

I hope they go with Red 2.0 first though, just to make the Green tears flow.

Pvp sucks, what a ginormous waste of time and money creating Red 2.0. Keep fighting the fight though, all 50 of you.

Great write up. Look forward to your Kunark thoughts.

I would honestly love to see a more "user friendly" experience with the next Green.

-Handle the legacy /list items in a better way that doesn't involve having to run accounts in shifts, or having to be so alert and awake at hours that would be genuinely health damaging.
-Open up the raids to everyone in some fashion, let the big places of lore and the epic figures be something everyone can experience. The big cutthroat guilds of P99 have had enough time in the spotlight, can't we say enough is enough already?

While I would love to see something like this, I know it likely won't happen.

That's a bit of an overdramatic representation of legacy items on Green. I did them all, multiple times, and never ran into an 80+ hour camp. And I didn't share my account with anyone else - I legit stayed awake through the entire thing. Jboots were typically 13-24 hours, my rubi BP was the worst (at about 65 hours). My first Manastone was worse than my second (at about 47 hours) but that's only because I was #1 on the list on Teal when the merge was suddenly thrust upon us, and when the post-merge Green came back online I was bumped back to #4. The second Manastone was closer to 30 hours.

Don't get me wrong - legacy camps are in no way enjoyable. But you can definitely do them if you carve out the time, or as the OP said you can share the burden and get them quite easily.

How did you stay awake for 65 hours straight?

you can share accounts and have people swap

Right - but in the post they mention that they didn't swap accounts & instead stayed awake throughout these camps.

So it seems like either:

a) munching on a steady diet of 'phetamines, staying up for days and plainly ignoring/damaging your health

or

b) sharing accounts and swapping, which also makes it so that small circles of friends/guilds monopolize all the camps + content... and is anyone really itching to redo that all over again?
