Classic / Kunark state of the union

I'm really struggling to see why launching a new blue server at some point on a classic timeline is a bad thing. After all the work of fixing bugs and trying to make things classic it almost seems like its been building towards that.

But let velious launch, let everyone have their fun and enjoy the ride. But at the end of the tunnel when everyones burned out in velious like they are in kunark now, Its the only solution.

IMO I'd rather have them continue into luclin, but I doubt that'll happen.

Having a new server is even more pointless to those of us that missed the launch of P99.

Starting anew seems to make everything more pointless.

Ranger track was horribly broken due to a false inference from a patchnote, it is absurdly :notclassic: atm.

Kunark Mountain Giants should be stunnable by spell (they were the only ones), but at least the HGs, SGs, & Kunark Forest Giants aren't anymore (have not tested whether HGs/SGs can be stunned by bash from behind, should be possible but guessing they were given absolute immunity here.)

I disagree Nirgon. Both AC and Resists are almost certainly broken, I mean normal spells too not just the 255 cap. Basically I feel like while Nilbog has done a fantastic job reproducing the zones/mobs/quests/factions/etc, the actual game mechanics are quite a ways off. This set of priorities baffles me, but it's not my server.

Also I would quit instantly if I couldn't have a separate chatbox. That would destroy 90% of my social interactions.

Another great point. Remember that classic UI comes with :

- No ability to filter anything, so all spell starts, stops, interrupts, melee hits, misses, deaths, exp messages, TELLS, group messages, guild chat, etc ALL gets spammed together.


I'm not sure who will actually enjoy that again.

All in all Sadre is a happy little mutherfucker. Cheers all!

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

Not the most fun, but it's classic.

p1999 as it stand is fun as hell for me to play and I am thankful this server exist.


That being said my biggest annoyance with this server is mob path period. Now I do not know how mob path is controlled on p1999. It maybe client and therefor not fixable, but running around kunark zones seeing mobs where they should not be is more than a little annoying. I have posted more than a few zones pathing problems in bugs.

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.
