For me there would ideally always be 3 P99 servers up.

^This. One server that resets at the end of the normal progression timeline (i.e. on the release date of the next expansion after velious). All the characters are then immortalized onto the other server which just stays stuck in velious forever and then the reset happens on server 1. Really only need 2 servers at that point so even solves for keeping red (a)live for whatever misguided reasons (aka so people can still post P99 red on the forum since that's all the red community does anymore).

Say like....3-6 months after Vulak dead / Sleeper wakes. Nobody needs to farm Velious for more than 6 months. Ship 'em all to Blue and start green fresh day 1 classic.

k.

This made me lol since it's the first thought that goes through my head every time RecondoJoe (aka Wakanda ban evasion account) posts on of these threads that no one asked for.

paisley really messed him up

Just set a character transfer system and we have a winner. Eat the delevel if you want to go back to the classic server.

Or just consistently merge and open a new server. Problem solved entirely.

1 server at a time please
community isn't big enough

sounds good on paper but you would just gravitate to the highest pop and stay there so why give you options at all?
think you do but dont

I would actually probably choose the server that is stuck in classic or kunark [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I'm one of those weird people who started on Green when the server was relatively new and left for blue because I wanted to see Kunark really bad... since it had a lot of nostalgia for me and it was years away etc.

Even a couple of years go blue's population is higher than what greens is now, and I found it was more enjoyable because people were less hostile, and camps were a little less contested, but there was still lots of people to group with etc. Never had any desire to go back to Green where it felt like people were constantly trying to snipe my camp or steal my group's mobs etc. On Blue people were a lot nicer to me and a lot of times would actually give me a camp if they saw I was interested in it etc.

But nah, I think I would prob get pretty hype for a fresh start classic or kunark. velious not as much because i feel like people would still just be leveling in kunark zones and the raid scene is kind of stale for me personally (altho obvsly a lot of people love it).

That's actually respectable, but without periodic hard resets you just end up in a situation like Blue or Green - which doesn't feel classic at all.

thats even worse
endless cycling and losing characters over time is not a good feeling
joining like 2 weeks before a reset? why even
not the first character to do something? why even after
statistically a realistic chance of never seeing an earth staff or white scale in a server life window? why bother
lets say you get everything you wanted and you are a server first idol but this is reset number 86? not an achievement in hindsight
pull an all nighter with some folks and accidentally sleep cycle yourself but you gained a few levels? probably wont do that again

star wars galaxies emu with each major patch wiped the server and every reincarnation had less and less players. i personally maxed out weapon and armor smithing alt... once. i was not doing the 6-8 hours of strait clicking again
