Fresh pure classic server opinion?

I'm glad most people don't share your opinion.

Why? It's not like it's any skin off of your nose if I don't like the expansions very much. It's not like a classic only server is likely to ever happen anyway. The p99 devs have been pretty clear that it's going to be red, blue, and green cycling and merging into blue from the very beginning.. and that's probably it. And Luclin is right out.. not that that losing that particular expansion is any great loss. Everything I said about Kunark goes triple for Luclin, hehe. Such a hideous collection of zones, art styles, stiff animations, and ridiculously overinflated items.. super yuck.

[Worry]

Just make a server where Luclin is released with no Bazaar and POP's raid zones are placed throughout the world with no Knowledge or Tranquility.

That would also free up the many very awesome Velious raid zones for less hardcore players. And would probably bring in a large amount of people from TLPs for a much more healthy pop.

Maybe one day.

Edit 2 - Thinking about it, you could add expansions to the original game in the same server. You could have a mechanic where the boats to Kunark and Velious get in a shipwreck after dropping you off on the new shore. "Mystical forces" prevent you from casting port spells back to classic zones. Make the trip to new expansions one way. You could add Luclin into game, but once you are on the moon, no going back to Norath. People can play at what ever level expansion they want with no mudflation in your expansion from future ones.

I had an idea like this. It was due to the problem of multiple expansion. Once 7-9 expansion is reached, it begins to add ludicrous amounts of content to the game. So, how would one fix that, with also making it lore legit and feel really attached to a world?

I figured it could be, teleporting to the planes of the Gods, or something with a better less egotistical sounding name. But you can teleport back to the physical, regular planes of existence Norrath. When you teleport back to Norrath, you return to whatever items and stats your character had before you entered.

If you were to level a new character, you would start on regular physical plane of existence Norrath. Maybe keep something like Fungi tunic only farmable in old world, to force people to return.

Then when you need to raid again, you teleport to the Spiritual plane, (Or whatever its name is.) and gain your wings. Then become able to fight in the Spiritual Plane, and be level 200, with 200,000 Hp, or whatever ludicrous stats.

I know Spiritual Plane sounds like Planes of Power but ehh... I think my idea is independent enough to still be able to call it the Spiritual Planes, and be its own thing. /shrugs

I want P99 gold: the unofficial patch.

Like the unofficial patches that fix skyrim or kotor, kotor 2. Finish unfinished quest lines, mostly, maybe some qol stuff for raiding and what not? I know I am a heratic. Not hitting mage pets with every nerf bat they can find. That sorta thing. Maybe make the mage epic obtainable =x

[Weekapaug]

Make it happen or...oh well.

I'd love to see it, myself. But there are issues.

Combine green and blue and make it pvp.

the 15 people who want to pvp are already on red
