Green sever

[rekreant]

Why dont you go on the skyrim forums then, then you can be a douche any time you like. MANY MMO players like the rush of a fresh start and a fresh race.

Check out daybreaks progression servers then. That's the only time you'll see it in EQ anytime soon. Maybe when live shuts down daybreak will let a new server open over here.

back when p99 started, there were a lot of bugs, pp dups, items dups, etc.
how much pp is in the economy due to these things? we'll never know

also, chardok aoe was churning out the 60's, and buying and selling of accounts was rampant.

fresh start would be great, just with fixed bugs and no selling accounts

If you think Blue is bad wait until you see the level of psychosis that will rule every single cash camp on a Green server. Spoiler, you ain't getting any of the rare shit you are thinking you are.

I must have misstated myself in the OP. I don't want a manastone or mask of tinkering or what have you; I want a fresh start.

Green is going to be a nightmare. 6000+ people flooding the server fighting over guises and manastones.

I have a hard time seeing how the madness will spill out of Guk. Sure there will be tourists, every fresh server has tourists, but that will die down pretty quickly as people lose interest. I doubt that many thousands will seriously invest the time it takes for your character to even get those camps in that time frame.

Even if you just took the 75% of blues pop that would likely move over for at least a few months, the server would way over populated for the classic content and a total a shit show. I kinda want it to happen just to see the outbursts from naive newbies when their hopes and dreams are utterly crushed by the no lifers.

Right now it's incredibly easy for a new player to break into P99. Gear is cheap, mobs are still loot pinatas, leveling is fast, and there are plenty of places to go and kill stuff. And people are still bitching about places being too crowded and gear being too expensive. Can you imagine how fun RnF will be when literally every decent camp in the game is perma locked down by the top nolifers and people log on for weeks at a time without being able to progress all while watching item prices skyrocket beyond anything they could hope to attain while being a functional human being? How many rusty weapons do you need to sell to save up 25k for an FBSS?

In addition to the patches not yet released before Velious is "finished", I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on the release of green because of a lack of staff.

Green is going to generate an unholy number of petitions and I cannot imagine the current staff could handle being inundated with that much drama. From the legitimate petitions to the nonsense "King Baby didn't get what King Baby wants!!" petitions, that'll be a round the clock job. Throw in the people trying to cash in early on selling accounts and items and hoo boy its gonna be a pain in the ass.

Makes me laugh when a newbie complains about how hard it is to get established on blue, when they are wielding a 1:2 weapon they bought in EC for a couple of stacks of bone chips [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]!

Can't wait for everyone to be running around with leather whips, mino axes and so on*.

Sadly Kill stealing was the name of the game back in the day .

Training and feigning to remove camps .

Tbh it was easier to buy the item with plat than to actually get the item via farming it.

Personally I would've made all the items in the game NO TRADE to stop the greedy farmers from ruining the game .

I've mused this idea too. I'd probably made tradeskill stuff (components and resulting combines) and mundane armour / weapons (like raw hide, bronze, rusty, fine steel) tradable.

Magic items should generally just be for those who earnt them. More a status symbol than anything.
