I feel hearing there is some agreement with Daybreak saying new green is possible. It has no source but baseless rumor, but even just acknowledgement of plans for the next 2-3 years would be great. If they are all but certain the quest to re-create the early era of EQ that's a fine answer too.

Just wish there was an answer.
The agreement with Daybreak isn't an issue. It permits servers as long as they don't go past Velious. if you look at staff comments, they haven't been completely quiet recently either. Nilbog answered a question of mine in another thread saying that a change made in the recent patch would also be reflected in "future iterations of the server" or something to that degree. There will eventually be a new server, we just don't know when.

And the reason we don't know exactly when is because our community isn't very forgiving (or at least IMO that's probably one of the reasons). These are unpaid volunteers with limited free time and real life responsibilities. There's no benefit to them to give us a timeline, because if real life gets in the way and they miss the deadline they'll just take a bunch of abuse from the community.

Experiencing the Classic Era and Kunark Era for both was amazing. The joy of people seeing Classic EQ again was wonderful. Still is, but I think people want a new beginning.
I played EverQuest from phase 3 beta through Kunark. I discovered P99 14 years later.

I haven't logged onto Green or Blue in years, but I have great appreciation for the people who created this project. Playing here rekindled a lot of dormant memories and allowed me to experience an era of EverQuest I missed out on (Velious).

Like everyone else, I hope for one more chance to play on a fresh server. The McQuaid-era EverQuest fan base is aging out, so the next server will probably be the last time a significant amount of us will gather in one place.

Used to play with a guy who was retired back in original EQ. I remember being soooo jealous that he got to play all day long.

Anyways hes probably dead now.

Live had a lot of memories through PoP. P99 early Velious was pretty peak.

I honestly really doubt this. I know this discussion has been beat to death but I am pretty confident that most people would agree that (if possible) a merge would be best.

Most of the antimergers are in competitive guilds, many of them raiding on both servers. A merger means many more racers for half as many races.

This is why i don't care either way about merger debate. Just turn back on teal for triple the fun. We'll be playing on RGB servers while we legacy /list anyhow.

Agreed. As someone with multiple 50s chars on both servers I would LOVE a merge. Norrath with a few/several hundred people on a server just kinda sucks. The world feels dead and not as immersive as Norrath normally does.

As for another comment above, I raid competitively on and off and I would still love a merge.

People are forgetting that a merge would likely mean a new server at that time or not that long after. A merge wouldn't be "okay now it's just Blue forever"

I'm in a moderately competitive guild but only play on one server. I hate the idea of a merge though, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

I've never understood this mentality on a classic EQ server. One of the whole reasons classic EQ is what we like is the lack of instances and the whole mentality of "I want to be able to do what I want when I want" not necessarily being catered to. Part of that includes competition during raiding, sometimes heightened competition.

If competition is a reason you wouldn't want a server to be more populated, then why play on a non-instanced server at all? Why not play on a server that has instanced raiding?

Just seems like going to like an Italian restaurant and wanting them to have Mexican food. Like why not go to the place that has what you want?
