will you be playing the new live slow progression server?

I will be playing on this server, but i will promote p99 on it, even though i have never played on the server. I respect the vision more than any other game...even if sirken has problems with me.

New models
revamped freeport and commonlands, ro, oasis, the other ro
revamped nek forest
revamped classes
revamped spells, hybrids casting at level 1? yeano
no swarm kiting
no feel

I remember being a little kid with my gateway pc my dad bought for me in a gateway store, on my CRT monitor hearing the old midi music of freeport as I went to go turn in some belts.

I remember being a paladin and confused as to where to go when oasis of marr dried up for exp at or around level 20.

I got my nostalgia fix here years ago and if the new progression server will have all the new things like knights having warrior defenses, or rangers having a use outside of a deathtouch then no, just no.

Will the new server have that double xp for recruit a friend accounts? Cause that is some bull.

Been casually following those forums but I come away with two distinct feelings every time I browse:

1. they have no idea what "classic" means or why people enjoy it

2. they are a group of whining in-your-face twits

I'm still waiting to see if they are going to nerf anything to where it should be. If it's like the original progression servers I think I will run SK/shaman/monk 3 box. Might toss in druid instead of the monk for ports/ds extra heals. I know it sounds dirty that I will box, but I am guessing over 50% of the people that are going to play will be boxing.

Also considering throwing in a bard in there instead if /melody works. Will add some CC, easy afk box and will allow shaman to get more mana/regen faster.

Even with /melody, you'd be better off with a chanter.

Bard mez only lasts 3 ticks, meaning you have to switch targets and reapply mez constantly. I can lock down 4 mobs at a time if no resists, but during that time, i'm not doing anything else. No melee, no haste, no slow or mana regen.

Chanters retain their effectiveness while CCing. While they mez, everyone in the group is still hasted, with clarity and the charmed pet is doing massive dps.

Sure bard songs are really good for groups, especially PoP and beyond, but when it comes to pure CC, nothing beats a chanter.

I can't imagine how hard maintaining charm will be on chanter with a 3 box. Might just stick with the monk or bard. Monk would guarantee single pulls greater than the SK, won't need alot of gear. Bard would be nice for travel though. Hard choices.
