I mean I just looked it up Kunark dropped, then 8 months later Velious dropped. Classic to kunark was 1 year. Then I think Luclin came a year after Velious and game was fucked by then with AA's etc.

So the glory days are really like 32 months long and a lot of that was spent grinding/learning.

PVP did happen but it wasn't anything like Red, like anything. Most people were struggling to max a char out and maybe get some raid gear. Velious the gap really took off and ruined PVP too PDM were unkillable no one outside of their guild had TOV loot.

That might not be totally true brommix might whoop my ass that's a perspective from the dark team, once PDM formed dark team was so fucked.
That 8 months of kunark felt such a long time back in the day - almost felt longer than the 8 years of kunark on p99 red/blue!

I'm hopeful, and I won't give up.

I've been waiting since Red Kunark for a new pvp server... I will not give up. Even 10 years down the line I will stil be here to check in every 3 or 5 months.

Godspeed.

Why do you need a new pvp server, the current one is almost empty. You could recruit and contest very easily. THese posts make me think you just want to rmt legacy items again.

I wouldn't mind getting another Ford ranger out the deal. Better than scraping wire at new constructions.

It's fun to play when rubicite BP is best in slot, and 13/30 is the best rogue weapon. It's a different game.

Same during kunark.

Same during velious but whole guilds got banned so server was basically dead day 1 of velious RIP

Legacy items should not be in place, or in place in a custom manner. Best way would be a casino like luclin had, since it would be a platinum sink to combat inflation.

Additionally, random old world locations become spawn point for EE

Stuff like that.

Cuz race to manastone is 1 game that is kinda fun but a major distraction from the rest of the game. Same applies for kunark legacy items. Legacy items are made up for p99 and totally custom. They were not in place for late game servers like sullon zek so they shouldn't really be in place on p99

Otherwise why not include egg shaped pumices too?

Oh cuz theyre dumb and people stockpiling them would be hella dumb. Same with stock piling lockers and manastones for eq 401k. Let's do one server without this shit so we can focus on community from day one rather than our character retirement accounts.

Pots binding included. Fuck it all. It ain't classic to plan for these temporary available items and binds.

100%

It makes the game so much smaller when there is such a strong focus to race to and dominate these areas, and that malady really psychically impacts the vibe of a whole server.

Gustoo. Maybe hit upon an almost perfect formula. I know this is red but that shit would work anywhere.
Numbnuts camping guise/manastone/wr bags knowing the spawn rates kinda takes the fun (for everyone else) away from the discovery part of the game.
Back then it didnt matter where an <awesome drop> dropped it just mattered that it did, eventually. Working it out the how/when came later.

Great idea. Gustoo i bow to your superior solution.
Makes a(n) (arguably noob) player wanna play again.

In answer to jimjam and no disrespect. This would largely negate that. Blue, green and red. Just sayen.
