So how many of you will really go to green?

It might be annoying for people just starting blue, but if you read what the project was about it should have been obvious that green was coming soon. Your reward for restarting is getting to play a fresh server with no bullshit.

Giving up your twink gear and groups full of twinks isn't a sacrifice.

It's classic.

You'd be a fool to be a fan of classic EQ and not participate in some form on a P99 Classic EQ server launch. Continue playing Blue or WoW classic or whatever it is your into at the time, but definitely make a character and join up IMO. This doesn't happen often.

Other servers try to match P99's ability to recreate this experience, P99 does it the best.

I have literally anything you could want on Blue and would give it all up without thinking for that classic group with no twinking. I /salute all you rolling green as a melee. Brave souls its going to be a very rewarding adventure

Baking soda + already-cut-cocaine was the general makeup of crack in the 80s/90s. Not sure what you kids are smoking today though.

I'll go green just because I didn't start until Kunark in 2000 and I am not really invested on Blue99. It's great, but I don't really raid or have massive amounts of shit so I do not mind starting from scratch.

I will give green a shot, my friend who I originally played eq with in 1999 is starting there too. We'll duo and see how it goes. I will plan to remain raiding here though.

I have had characters that have had the best items in the game.

And I have had characters that have the worst items in the game.

The latter is way more fun and just as much of a pointless waste of time as the former! 8)

End game on green will hopefully be better than blue due to accurate timeline and not having BiS gear in every slot on every raid character when the next expansion hits and not having dozens of mage alts to park at every raid target

While there will be a ton of farming going on by neckbeards, at least the List exists... and so does Kedge. Farming in Kedge with era appropriate gear is an interesting ballgame.

Staying on blue here. I would love to play Green for the fun of it but I already know what a shit show it's going to be with all the farmers. Green will be fun for a small group of people that dominate all the fun things.

Other than guise / mana stone / rubicite what exactly do you anticipate being farmed? Maybe CoS and some other stuff.

Those items are >0.1% of the content, and will only be around for a small part of the timeline. I don't get why people think that people farming a few prenurf items is going to ruin the game.

Either you are playing green exclusively to get that stuff, in which case you have to deal with the issues you are anticipating, or you are playing green for other reasons, and this just doesn't bother you that much.
