New server announced yet?

A wild suggestion - what if there was a mandatory retirement of an account once it reaches x years old?

Make a hardcore server and if you die your character gets moved onto blue with some sort of scarlet letter at the end of your name to let everyone know you're weak.

They couldn't meet their own self desired deadline for a server where a permadeath box had to be checked and which was already set up. You really think any of these other ideas are happening? P99 is a great product with a product manager who is absentee pursuing other ideas. The ideal scenario would be if the reigns were handed over to someone invested in the project, but that will never happen. What you see is what you get pretty much here. Can't blame the guy, he put in eight plus years to EQ EMU for nothing but a non profit hobby, that's enough to burn out anyone.

Wait wtf is a "green" server? You have to smoke weed to make a character? I'd play on a stoner server...

How would that be different from this one?

I admit that most of the people I've met playing were stoners, but fuck did we all know somebody who sure fucking needed to smoke weed but didn't (Nizzar, Rallyd, Slathar, etc)

I'm still wondering wtf a green server is though.

"Green" server is a fresh server that will do the same progression as blue, properly "time restricted", with the intention of being rolled into blue some time post-green-Velious. People really like that idea. The staff floated it during one sirken stream and seemed to have walked it back hard since, probably surmising (correctly, imo) that such a move would turn blue 99 into a ghost town until the re-merge.

Thanks, so just a new but properly timelined blue server? I guess current population wise it makes some sense but I really wish they'd try to bring people back with a different type of server instead of ideas to divide the numbers they still have, that's a classic business mistake.

Then why spin up a new server for Discord? That's like saying, "We want to create a new server, but we don't want anyone to play on it because we fear the blue server numbers would dip." Seems like a waste of resources, right? Kinda like that Red server over there...
