Project 1999: Green information and reminders, please review

[Llandris]

With the opening of Project 1999: Green, I would like to go over a few things since we are going to have a large influx of new players. First, please review our Play-Nice-Policy which is located here. The PNP/rules will carry over from Blue to Green with some minor changes. After much discussion, the CSR staff has decided to enforce a few things which we have become lenient on, as well as reduce the length for certain PNP suspensions. The violations will be adjusted as needed after the first few months of the (green) server. Please review the following;

Boxing

As Senior Guide Menden has recently pointed out here, we will be enforcing the no-boxing policy hard on Green. The first time you are caught, it will be an automatic lifetime ban of the associated accounts (previously, it was a 30 day suspension).

Reimbursements

Item reimbursements will be handled the same way they are done on Blue and Red (via petition forum), with some minor adjustments. There are still no reimbursements for MQs (Multi-Quests). There are going to be no item reimbursements for dropped items for at least the first few months of Green. These type of reimbursements are extremely time consuming and I'm sure the staff will have their hands full. Be careful drop trading your items, as this will be done at your own risk. Each reimbursement petition will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and will be a judgment call by staff. We have a limited crew, and I don't want them spending a ton of time on items that can be easily replaced by the player. Just a reminder, we never reimburse currency.

Guilds

Running #guild commands with large amounts of players online at once has the potential to cause the server to lag, and some zones could desync. We will evaluate this and allow guild creations as we are able, but it may not happen on Day 1. Additionally, if you are requesting a guild creation with a name that already exists on Blue, that will need to be done by the current Leader of that guild. If you would like to request a Guild creation, please refer to our petition section located on the forums. Remember, a Guild creation requires a minimum of 5 players, so make sure to include their names in your petition.

Play-Nice-Policy Violations

With the release of Green, we have decided to adjust our suspension policy, especially considering we will have a lot of new players not familiar with our current system. If you are caught in a violation, you will be issued a warning to start. After that, it will be a 24 hour suspension, which then doubles with each additional infraction (2 days, 4 days, etc). The duration may be handled differently though, depending on the severity of each infraction. Please play nicely.

The Naming Policy

With a new server comes the opportunity to enforce our naming policy to the best of our ability. If you are informed by a Guide that your name is in violation, please do your best to comply with their wishes. While we have let some names go in the past, we are going to do our best to adhere to the policy on Green. I'm looking at you, Taylorswift.

We're all looking at Taylor Swift.

"Names from popular media. These names can be either fictional (e.g. Rambo, Darthvader) or non-fictional (e.g. Garth Brooks, Pierce Brosnan, George Washington, Michael Jordan).
Common words and phrases that would not be found in the time, place and setting of EverQuest (e.g. Switchblade, Phaser, Toaster, Cannabis)."

For real? Sounds like some admin power trip bull.

every name is fine until some karen reports you, and you aren't "in" with the devs

there are thousands of character names, even those lvl 60 in raid guilds that exceed the naming standards set by staff.

you only get your name nerfed if you aren't one of that clicky group.

like everything else in life, p99 is a popularity contest. end game raiders have been caught red handed, live streaming their boxing and other rule breaks, and nothing happens to them.

there is some magic donating amount where your bad actions, (boxing, duping, exploiting, being a general asshat) will never, ever be punished.

or other shit like daybreak people that play p99 have a greater rule over p99 than the devs do.

Yes, you heard it right. Daybreak personnel cannot be banned from p99.

I think my favorite raider story involved furour. Stole an old guild bot,boxed it to train raids one day. Didn't get banned because he was "having a bad day". I think they banner the bot he stole lol

Can I ask ahead of time? I was going to make a Bertoxx necromancer, named Poisonbolt.

I thought the name was cool like, having the nick-name Lightningbolt... But like, in character for Norrath.

But, someone told me the other day that violates the name policy, I would be soooo bummed if I designed my main on green around a name/lore and in 20 levels it got changed.

Does this name violate the naming policy? if it does, then I will be making an Innoruk necromancer from Freeport. That I like the name as well, but not as much as my Bertoxx necro story.

Help! I should ask. May as well.

Descriptive compound words are allowed in first names and are encouraged in surnames (e.g. Treehugger, Giantslayer).

You should be good my man.
