It's semi profitable. Platinum rings, veils, necks are the money makers first six months. Then when sol ro gets added hp rings will be easy to make. Stuff using higher end gems won't be so common til Kunark. If you wanna sell the gold stuff to new players at the start you're going to have to move volume cause you won't be getting more than a 10-20pp profit on most of that stuff.

Whether any of that is more profitable than just farming loot as the most OP class in the game? Seems unlikely.

People payed well for stat jewelry in Classic, but current age players won't value them as high. Stein of Moggok was also extremely lucrative, it was the item most wanted by INT casters aside from pretty looking +INT Robes. That thing seriously sold for up to 1,000 plat at the start of the Stein craze and literally everyone would get one as soon as they had the money for it. But people won't pay that these days since they have the wiki knowledge.

Trying to knock down stein prices for your Green99 wizard, eh, Zuranthium? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

im not going to be able to play until December but im looking forward to green. I figured that's what the announcement was about.

Haha, more like my Necro, Enchanter, or Mage!

Not that I will play it, if they are just trying to slavishly copy the classic code. There's nothing left to play that game for. I want an immersive MMORPG (ideally with meaningful PvP), not a pixel farm fest where everyone is going to ignore the RPG element, where there's nothing left to discover, nothing worth competing for, and virtually no joy left.

I think we will find plenty of people enJOYing it because they missed P99 the first time around. I will probably have a presence due to Pantheon being so far out...

Perhaps some people will enjoy it. Don't think I will, Blue-server p99 bored me after 1 month when I found it (and I'm someone who ADORED the original Everquest). If the devs are only trying to copy the same old game code, it's going to play nothing like it did in 1999. It will be a hollow experience. I'm sure it will be marginally better than what current p99 is, because at least Old World era EQ has less boring timesinks and less twinking and creates a tighter community, but it's not going to be worth my time if they don't try to make the content more dynamic.

After reading that i’m glad the devs are making these emu servers for their enjoyment not for yours or mine

I'll play on Green if it's PvE, but dear god I hope it's Teams PvP.

"Play nice" rules are such a huge PITA on fresh PvE servers, especially one like this with no dynamic spawns or layering. Everything is going to be camped, around the clock.

Killing people for camps would be so much more fun.
