How much would you donate for a new Green?

[Old_PVP]

I would donate a big fat $0. It should be abundantly clear by now that the devs have lost interest. I don't blame them! Honestly, people lose interest in shit... it happens. This project has been going for 15ish years now? How much longer could it actually keep going? Will we all be 60 years old still playing this game?

IF they did come back, we would be in this same situation again once Green 2.0 or Red 2.0 or whatever 2.0 became stale.

Sunset this bitch and close it down!

Forever! Assuming Rogean hands the server off to someone upon death or at some point when he is no longer able to maintain it.

Hence why the game code needs to be changed, except for Blue server, which needs to remain in existence as a museum for the classic coding.

An ideal version of Everquest is something that can be played forever and remain interesting, because encounters and events in the world keep changing. OFC, that is much more likely to be created somewhere else, as its own IP. But there's still plenty that could be done to improve p99 without that amount of effort.

Monsters & Memories might be the game to fit that bill. I've only been following it but it looks mighty interesting.

$0 for a new server. I'll give $25 for a merge.

This. I don’t even want a new server, I just want my level 60’s on blue not to feel absolutely abandoned. There’s no reason for not merging at this point. Both servers are at their end cycle and are over saturated by plat and raid gear. Might as well merge them and quit cutting the community in half.

Honestly, p1999 lost a lot of my interest after green. It was fun at first, but ultimately just made all the servers feel way underpopulated

Agree

[eqravenprince]

Green reinvigorated my interest. Fresh servers do that. It's an ideal time for a fresh server.

Merge servers, cycle legacy items and firepots bind, reset ST keys and unawaken the sleeper every 3 years or so.

ive always felt like project1999 should have crypto wallet codes on the main page

like you can literally mine ravencoin for instance while you run p99 and it wont affect performance at all

could just mine the ravencoin to the project1999 wallet code, would add up to a lot of money annually, but that may be too big brain for the average p99 boomer who just wants to play this game (not even hating)

It isn't. They are designing a static game world. I'm sure they won't have the same insane bottlenecks EQ has, so that's an improvement, but yeah that game isn't going to solve the bigger problem.

Ashes of Creation, on the other hand, is trying to build a fully dynamic game world. Not only for PvE, but also with PvP being integral to the entire design. This is the game that might push MMO's forward. They need to make sure the combat turns out great though. It's currently too cluttered with visual effects and a bit too spammy and using a few too many hotkeys, while lacking some of the depth I'd like to see. If they adopted the Guild Wars 1 system with minor changes and some balancing, then the intended design of the game would be the best ever to date.

Yeesh. It's just a mana stone bro.

I dont think as many people care about that as you think. All I personally want is that fresh server feeling. Green is starting to feel like blue, when you run into mistmoore and are lucky to find a single group etc.
