"open new servers" i thought it just said they can't counter program to when they release a TLP, he has to coordinate or w/e

biggest news from that entire doc is that up to DoDH counts as classic in their eyes.

The non-advertisement language puts the kibosh on that idea.

They've literally opened a new server (Green) under the agreement

Yeah, just probably had to OK it with Daybreak before doing so

[cd288]

To my read they aren't obligated to okay it with Daybreak as a general matter, just to make sure that it's not going to launch at the same time a Daybreak server is. So they can launch a server if they want to, but if it were conflicting with the timing of a Daybreak launch then P99 could be asked to delay it a bit (like they did with Velious release on Blue).

This all assumes that the server they launch is consistent with what they're allowed to do under the agreement of course. If they wanted to deviate from that they'd have to talk to Daybreak.

Merge the servers and release Luclin. Even the people who say they hate Luclin would come back.

The project 1999 agreement came out in THJ case files. Rogean can never sell his work, open new servers or add custom anything. If he decides to quit the project, he has to give to daybreak for $0.

May green and blue live on forever!

So then he should revert all the custom code changes he made? Are we going to be able to ae unlimited mobs again?

I actually really have the itch to play in Luclin. Remember PUGs in Maiden's Eye - when Luclin first launched? Good times.

I think part of the problem with server merge is dupe names.

On green launch, green and blue DID share a name bank... but the addition of Teal for overflow screwed things a bit. Teal did not share a name bank with Blue, but did share a name bank with green if that even makes sense.

So after teal merged into green, there's a lot of people with names on green who don't own them from blue because they originally made their toons on Teal....

dupe names shouldn't be a problem and it's classic AF

first xfer off Fennin tons of us went and made dupe named lvl 1 characters on the other server to get free name changes, it puts a X at the end of the incoming toon name.

takes 5 minutes to make a slash command to handle it ingame for people with dupe names, they just don't have 5 minutes and/or care

There's also less CSR than there was back during Green / Teal. GMs are leaving the project- doesn't bode well for a new server
