When should green reset?

This is the last time i forget you (I wish I could)

I've been playing P99 off and on since about 2010, and unfortunately missed Green progression. Just jumped back into the game on Green (more populated), and it's sort of sad how quiet the newb zones are - but totally understandable since there is no more new progression to be had.

Still going to have fun, but hoping we'll hear some news about a merge/wipe/new server/whatever soon'ish [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven't really had this experience. I am brand new to the server, and while there are an annoying number of twinks soloing content I couldn't hope to, I have also found a number of people who are also new to the game (P99, though one was literally, new to the game entirely) to group with and play with. I am dying to know what the statistics are on new players coming to the game.

Well played, JimJam.

I'm new also, hope it doesn't reset for awhile I guess

If you're new to green, a brand new server starting is the best scenario for you. Starting out with a blank slate, when everyone else also has a blank slate is ideal imo.

Don’t listen to these “wait for new server folks” or you’ll never play p99 ��

The best era of EQ is Right Now and always will be.

I'm super excited to dive back in after a long break, but stumbling upon a recent(ish) call for a reset brings up mixed feelings haha. Lately, I've noticed a few similar discussions popping up on Reddit too (thanks to google tracking all my data probably haha).

I can't deny that the prospect of a fresh start, especially with everyone in the game, is always exhilarating (in any game really). It sparks ambition and sets the imagination racing with thoughts of new goals and revisiting old activities with more grit and skill.


Soo anyway, this might be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps worth considering -- that if the typical lifespan of a server is usually a few years, then a reset soon might align well with an official release of Monsters & Memories. They are making strides with development since I looked last!! and I suspect everyone in this community (even the p1999 devs) will want to spend a solid amount of time exploring that to the fullest.

Regardless, it would be great to have some advance notice before a reset, whenever it might happen. People from all walks of life would surely appreciate having time to prepare and confirmation that the progress of the past few months won't just vanish (yes, some selfish thoughts there lol).

That said, I can only imagine that planning, announcing, and executing such a significant change to the servers and population comes with countless nuances and challenges. So far, though, it's clear that all the big decisions made in the past have been for the best -- with the lights still on and the skeletons still cackling in 2024, this is all pretty great =)

There's no "reset"

If a merge happened you'd keep all your chars etc. They would just be on a combined server and eventually there might be a new fresh server as well.
