New server, make it Teams99. Correct progression timeline. Server stays at Velious indefinitely - until The Sleeper is awakened, destroys the world and the server wipes and reboots.

Would play.
oh please god yes. and for those peeps that would say there's not enough population for such an undertaking, the nearly 1200 peeps on Blue on top of the new people that would funnel in upon hearing about it would answer that concern.

KK sounds like people are into the reset loop, thanks for helping me understand! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm a big proponent of this idea. Let the classic-vel timeline playout until the day that Luclin was released, then dump the whole server into original p99 and start over! P99 becomes the "Legacy" server in which new content can be tried, etc.

So you want a time-locked progression server; which upon the end of Velious is merged into Blue99 and reset to Classic. Or, if anyone played Diablo 2, a ladder and non-ladder server.

Sounds good to me.

Edit - Sorry Doil, you posted 1 minute before I did, hehe.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I would really really love the chance to play vanilla eq again from the very start! Selling banded and bronze, PGTs and CDSs, Dragoon Dirks! The challenge of having horrible gear! Let's do it!

I wouldn't expect such a server to be a "thing" for at least 5 years. So wouldn't concern myself.

And I don't think this would affect the plan for Teams99.

As a new player to the server who missed the pre-kunark days, this is definitely appealing.

Would the population really be an issue? I would have thought a server like that would cycle in lots of older/inactive players, especially those who are going to want to race to all the firsts.

I think most GMs would either go insane or quit dealing with the return of so many tryhard raiders that would eat up a server like that.
It would be like maggots to a dead cat. Unless they just let a true prog server go full-on failed state / Somali warlord level haxxors (like SOE did with the Fippy Darkpaw server) the amount of *fast* policing required would make a relatively stable and weary server like p99 look like Mayberry RFD.

Nothing like being 'first' the fourth time around ....
