Watching the server pop drop below 200 on Blue, when it once was over 2,000. So uh I'm just tossing out an idea. Typical internet. You can agree there's a problem but step on my suggestion to fix it. Let's hear your ideas?

Link the post where he agreed with you that there was a "problem" you propagandist.

Now begone with you, your ilk will not be having the chance to rmt legacy items on this museum ever again.

I’ve had the same issue since the patch with occasional frame rate drops or slight stuttering.

Question:
Nilbog: The 4th coldain prayer shawl quest, npcs, and related tradeskill recipes are not implemented until [Mar2001]

What does that mean for the shawl question at the moment?
Thank you!

It means nothing since both blue and green are at the end of the timeline.
This is just a change to the timeline for any future p99 servers.

The game is over 25 years old, not without its flaws and the content fans out after 2 years. Don't forget that most people who play this game are probably people who played live back then and are on a nostalgia trip. There is a limited quantity of those and it is going to be a tough sell to get new blood in.

The comical exp curve is an integral part of EQ's identity. 54 and 59 are rites of passage and other hell levels are a part of the culture. Perma exp bonus would cheapen the experience in my opinion and I doubt it would make anything else than more level 60 alts.

Outside of marketing (which is not happening) or restarting servers more ofen and merging the older ones I'm not sure of what else could be done to keep them more alive.

That being said I wouldn't mind a merge with blue and more groupability in general, especial in the lower brackets would be nice but as someone with limited playtime I don't mind getting most camps when I want them.

Personally I wouldn't mind if they spread out the exp curve so people spent more time in lower and mid level areas, but that's only because I love those areas so much. I didn't play Green all that much, but one of my favorite things about how crowded it was at launch was that it forced people to go to areas they normally wouldn't have.

The problem with changes is it's a very slippery slope. Just look at other server options to see how quickly small changes pile up into a completely different experience.

[Goregasmic]

The whole goal of p99 is offering a mostly classic experience so as long as it remains as such, it gives very little room to tweak variables for bigger appeal.

I have a few changes in mind that would probably help but purists will inevitably complain about it anyway. From a devs standpoint, I'd guess the closer it is to classic, the less people can complain anyway.
