Classic / Kunark state of the union

[Weekapaug]

It was all in one chat box but I'm pretty sure you could filter.

Not the most fun, but it's classic.

Well if theres now no plan to open a new blue server with an accurate timeline then this whole thing feels pointless

I feel like a guinea pig that has suddenly realized, I'm just out here in the middle of this field, and yes, I'm a guinea pig, but not in the sense of a "guinea pig" guinea pig but just a plain old guinea pig, out in the middle of the field.

What do guinea pigs do when they are not guinea pigs?

The server is saturated beyond repair. That said, people like this guy getting their panties in a wad trying to protect their pixels is about as classic as it gets.

So no server should live beyond 3-4 years? Interesting perspective, I wonder what they think of that on live at the moment.

Which live server is in the Classic/Kunark stage and advertised as such?

Here: http://www.project1999.org/index.php?pageid=about

Project 1999 started development in 2008, and was released in October of 2009. The mission of the project is to create the classic feeling that many had during the early days of Everquest during those time periods, starting with Classic content and releasing the other expansions and content on a similar timeline that was experienced on Live. The server will stop at Velious, at which point many options will be considered, including possible custom content that will maintain the spirit of the game, and/or an additional new server starting over at Pre-Kunark.

Ask all the people who had their server merged into others, and still others, as the populations dwindled.


Something I do miss form live is the occasional new server opening due to population booms. My guild from Brell Serilis made the move to Morel Thule, then Vazaelle when they opened, just to restart the game from scratch, with a population and economy that were also fresh. It was an experience I greatly enjoyed.

I have been on this server from its birth, and I would never delete any of my characters (not even 60 yet... curse you, life!). That said, I would jump at the chance to play a new blue progression server, and would probably slit throats over the chance to do a Sullon-Zek style restart.

We all enjoy the game how we like, for some of us that involves new beginnings. That and never really having to say good bye to old achievements.


Also Swish, I would do my best to drag you kicking and screaming to any new server =)

Don't get me wrong, I went to Sleeper to see what all the hype was about... I play a lot on red (although I didn't play the opening night), but I'm quite taken aback by how many people actually want to nuke the old server in favor of a fresh start [You must be logged in to view images.

If the old server is wiped, or indirectly wiped due to everyone flocking to the new one there's some old timers on blue that won't want to do it all again. If we're all just collateral damage then so be it. Not saying I wouldn't roll a character on a new server, but my actual play time is nothing like it was 3 years ago...so it will be like playing an alt.

To me, that's a sad thing...not being able to log in the characters I levelled while I had the time. To you guys, apparently... that's great, fuck all the months you put into your characters in favor of a fresh start. Still scratching my head on that one [You must be logged in to view images.

Oh no, if there ever was a new blue (or a new red, for that matter), the originals should stay. No mergers, no wipes, no deletions.

New opportunities, not new punishments.

Your characters aren't getting wiped.

Your characters aren't getting wiped.

Your characters aren't getting wiped.

YOUR CHARACTERS AREN'T GETTING WIPED.

I don't know how many more times it needs to be said. That had been officially stated by the devs.

Your whining about the possibility of the rest of us getting to start over and experience classic again, under actual classic conditions, while you levelled and epiced up under non classic conditions that new players who are playing in the same freaking expasion will never have, is an entirely different matter. Entire fucking games don't revolve around your personal playtime.

Wake up. New server will shut down the old one...who'd start on the old server when the value of their plat on the new one goes a lot further?

You couldn't merge the old server into the new one, as there'd be massive inflation etc etc.
