What class will you roll first on a fresh server?

Don't know what maniacs think it's satisfying to play on a server that goes from launch to GoD inside a year, especially considering the fact that TLPs routinely die out at that point (except Mischief which bizarrely remained popular past that).

They should follow the WoW patch formula and do 6 months +/- a month or 2 if content gets stale, like LDoN.

Hard facts. If it was happening, it would have already, rather than inching closer and closer to Daybreak EQ TLP or whoever owns it now. Extending the timeline past the actual end date of Velious only makes for a duplicate Blue server without the history. The thrill of accomplishment during the actual timeline is gone. They've had since the conceptualization of Green to start prepping for the inevitable reset + transfer to make sure it went smoothly + stuck to the timeline.

If the goal the entire time was to continually create a fresh server at the end of every timeline and roll the old stuff into Blue, and Green has gone through the entire Velious timeline yet is for some reason still open, that's a pretty cut and dry admission of failure of the entire project by Rogean + Nilbog if they couldn't stick to their own plan of over a decade.

Rogean + Nilbog has only stated it would reset at some point and not before 6 months past last patch of velious. Never sadly has it given a timeline when the reset has to happen. So sorry your one of those who hope green2.0 isn't happening, and wants to rip on the Devs, but I don't see it. Per their statement they could wait 50 years before green2.0 happens. It is their sandbox we all get to play in. We don't have to like the lack of communications, but meh its very classic. No one really knew what was happening until it does. Hell Green was launched what 40 days ish after they announced it, just like they said they would... So clearly their on point with their goals. Yeah there has been some slight variance with patch releases like Fear/Hate/Sky patchs, But like Classic they don't say the day/hour etc. They left it open ended.

TLDR calm down bluebee Green is here, GReen2.0 will happen.

While sifting through your haphazard word salad (learn some fucking grammar), I noticed you're (note the difference in the 2 forms of the word) pretty much just making excuses for them, so your opinion doesn't matter. At all.

The ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT since the FUCKING BEGINNING, as has been stated so many times by Rogean himself, was to continually release fresh EQ servers ON THE SAME TIMELINE. Whether they want to try to claim it'll be 'at some point' in one of their famous 'windows of shirking actual responsibility + expectations' doesn't make a difference when from the beginning they've said how it was supposed to be, only to completely fail to adhere to that and using the excuse you so poorly mentioned as their fallback.

Not good enough. Get fucked. Stop licking Nilbog's crocs. If they want to defend their lack of communication + such, they can grow the fuck up and do it themselves.

Green 2.0 isn't going to happen until later this Fall. P99 will not compete with a new TLP server. Green 2.0 launching this Fall could also allow for one extremely bad ass 25th Anniversary celebration.

Maybe in a few days a new server will surprisingly launch, maybe decaying skeletons will drop manastones and bats will drop guises of the deceiver. Maybe the exp bonus will be 500% and Hell Levels will instead be Express Levels! But if that doesn't happen on April 1 I wouldn't expect a new server for at least five more months.

They better hope Daybreak drops the ball on their TLP, then. If they suddenly catch a case of pulling their own heads from their asses and don't rush everything to where you can't even enjoy it, could spell even worse bad news than staff just refusing to communicate anything to the community.

I always have the notion to play SK, and then inevitably end up rolling Chanter

This time [current Green] - as soon as I get P99 working on Mint, and am back home (away for a couple of days) - I will role an Erudite Cazic-Thule worshipping SK. I did plan rolling an Inkie, but I did that last time on P99 (Chanter & Warrior).

I have never started on Odus, and have little knowledge of the area - only visiting Erudin once or twice back in Velious on Live, and soloing on Wisp Island to build up some plat iny teens.

I'll go either DE Cleric, or DE Necro to start.
