Solving The "Blue" Issue.

[tycohunden]

The server is basically stuck in a loop at this point and bleeding active players to Quarm and Green. I think an injection of new content is in order.
At this point most players have chars, geared to the gills and no real reason to play other than utter degeneration.
At the same time red is as dead as ever and only sad echoes of the few ring out on the forum at times.

I say we merge Red with Blue. Make it the Purple server.
One of the biggest issues with red is the massive amount of cheating that was allowed in the start and probably the toxicity from some of the top players. Both would be eradicated by Merging the two, only allowing for 100K of PP surviving the merger.
All the same rule set of Red would apply.

Wouldn't Purple be the perfect injection of new content this crusty old Server needs and finally the death of Red would save us from its loathingly pathetic existence!

Lets merge two pieces of sadness into a Wonderful Cascade of Purple!

So add a bunch of over geared carebears to a server full of bullies? I see how red wins, but what's the new content for the smurfs?

As long as we're talking crazy:
Sell the server to Quarm and use the cash to make a new 99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] now they can progress through the moon(pun intended)

I think the philosophy staff holds unofficially/officially is that P99 is a living museum. The intent was always to emulate classic EQ. "New" content will almost certainly never be on the table because that is antithesis to the mission statement of P99. On top of that, funding/time/effort/etc.

Red is dead for a reason - merging would be silly. That would kill off what's left of blue most likely

Personally, I am leaning towards the thought that staff plans on letting things die off naturally and hang up the proverbial hat than planning for ways to bring people back. It doesn't really seem like getting a booming community playing classic EQ was the "point" and P99 has had quite the run.

Only other caveat is MAYBE one more merge/new green? Since it was stated before. Maybe. But I'm kind of thinking not.

if they were gonna merge servers i'm pretty sure they would have done it by now lol

They're all in jail dude.

[tycohunden]

Yeah, probably just cope from my side, I just never would be able to go red with the commitment to level up to only be playing on a dead server.
EverQuest is actually a fine pvp game as long as all the classes with their gear is represented.

Just let it die I guess.

eq is a terrible pvp game, i know this to be true because only like 5 people on the entire planet give a fuck about it

[branamil]

Not worth the effort. They have to work really hard to make that happen behind the scenes and their heart just isn't in it for a """free""" game

I disagree its a pvp game like IRL. Like the person who is good at pvp in eq would be good at serial killing people, or hunting them in a most dangerous game competition.

The best pvpers are able to sit and wait like toxic snakes for imesurable ammounts of time ready for pvp at the drop of the hat and they strike and kill and god damn its a disgusting way of life that only a select few naturally psycopathic individuals are good at.
