Same. It really devalues the character when you move them to a server like blue with all the past exploits/changes/overinflated economy. I wish there was no raid rules, but that will never happen. It's kind of ridiculous how you need to be a lawyer to abuse all the rules related to raids on here.

I actually hope the same thing. Some say this because they think it'll mess up Blue with an influx of additional characters. I think it'll mess up Green because Blue people will use Green to level up and gear up their alts with guises and manastones, because they know those characters will end up on blue. They will clog the server with their beards. If there is no moving of characters to Blue, then Green will be populated by people not overly attached to proving something on Blue. I hope Green will be for the pioneers, the challenge-seekers, the <Auld Lang Syne> types.

It'll be hard enough.

Your green characters will have no value once the timeline is complete anyway. It'll be a stagnant server where you will never have anything new to do. Consider how empty that is. What exactly do you expect to pioneer and challenge in an unchanging post-timeline world on an emulator for an easy game? Green's 420th Tunare kill? Nostalgia and social aspects are the only practical answers, but nostalgia will have well worn out by then. I highly doubt there's many people scheming to farm guises on 10 alts so that in 2 years they can spend the following 5 years farming BiS loot for said alts on blue. Not unless they plan on RMT'ing, which likely wouldn't be worth jack since few people will care about blue. Not all of the neckbeards are going to stay on blue because of their pixels and never play green. Plenty of them will play green. Only a handful of likely insane ones will stay on blue, much like what you find on red.. which is what? 40 people?

In any case it's peculiar for people to have attachment issues to something they don't have and won't lose for 2 years when they're already leaving blue to play green to begin with.

On-topic - consider me one of the drops in the vast ocean of innumerable players who have been desperately pleading for a broken unbalanced teams pvp server in a game that wasn't designed for pvp. Aside from that I just want to enjoy classic EQ without twinks/buffs/PLs and be able to level off the exp highway. If I had to ask for completely unreasonable things that will never happen teams then I guess I would say balance the classes a bit and remove ogre's bullshit stun immunity.

I hope you're right and that a lot of people feel the same as you! I fear overpopulation on Green.

I would play on such a server, too. (What is wrong with us?)

I'm curious what you think would happen if this change was made. It's not exactly breaking any content. It just means a disproportionate amount of people roll Ogres when it's an available option. Know what would happen if they lost stun immunity? People who would have previously rolled Ogres will roll Iksars instead. Iksar is already so over-represented amongst Monks and Necros, I'm glad there's a good minmax option besides them for a few other classes.

It's not as if frontal stun immunity is a requirement for anything in the game. I've seen plenty of non-Ogres tank the most difficult raid mobs in the game. The only thing that limits your ability to tank is how many clerics you have in your chain.

OP you're smoking crack if you think its coming out in October lol

also you're entire post history is a dog whistle troll

In 2024 when we get purple99 youll get your pvp but until then shadap and get in line for the scout(manastone) roll

I know this is just a troll thread, but I'll bite anyway.

My hopes are simply for a fresh server that follows the original timeline as closely as possible. I really have no opinion on what happens after the server finishes its timeline. Dump everyone on blue and restart. Keep it up and running after the final patch. Add custom content. I'm fine with anything as long as I get my classic leveling experience!

I would like multi-quest disabled and any item tagged Magic to also be tagged NoDrop please

[Jibartik]

I just hope its teams.

Pvp teams would be awesome. Also, it would be cool if hybrid xp penalty was kept removed or lowered. I know this might sound like blasphemy but (im not 100% certain on this) if hybrids xp penalty is kept then there will be a giant switch in power over a long period of time; rather than a gradual change. What I mean is, I imagine hybrids as great pvpers and guardians and if it takes forever to get them as good chars, then there will be a dramatic switch rather then a paladin slowly catching up to casters. Hm... I just realized this doesn't matter so much if it starts in classic. Oh well, /shrugs. It really wont bother me though.
