Recently joined, but due to the recycle server, I find it hard to play blue. - Page 2

Actually I wouldnt think it will take nearly that long to do the recycled server since now they have the code. I dont think some of the posters really understand what the Devs had to go through with Velious and even to a lesser extent Kunark. Basically it would have been easier for them to just do their own expansion. They were trying to get it perfect with only the barest outline from distance memory and what they could find archived online and then recode it all.

I think it will be more about the hardware to run the servers. They probably wont want to try to run them on the same server together.

Definitely part of the reason, haha.

I decided to make a character on Red. What have I done...

The right thing. Quicker leveling, fewer camp lawyers, a closer community. Starting with nothing is the true classic experience.

A lot of people turn up on blue looking for that classic experience but quickly get hold of some cheap/free items and twink up... that's not easy on red by any means.

I no longer have the will to live after discovering that I will eventually die

I get what you're saying. However, I'm in the mood to play a Magician. I believe leveling one, only to have to do it again, may burn me out. So, I am just going to end up picking a class I have never had an interest in.

I'm somewhat surprised at their lack of wanting to bring in a Teams server. Would definitely fix a lot of the hangups that people have starting on Red and would fix a lot of the "zerg" issues, I'd think.

EDIT: To be fair, I'm sure they WANT to, but Velious is priority. I wonder how long though...

A wizard would get you around a lot quicker, porting people might make you some plat...and the pvp is fun too depending on the situation.

One time I ported a guy into the spires in Gfay, then another wizard in pvp range ported in on 40% health...I'd already started casting before he'd noticed, but he tried to run away at a weird angle, hit his jboots just before the nuke killed him.

We had a good ol laugh about it afterwards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is anyone else in the same boat as I? I was leveling an Ogre Shaman as my first character on this server and was having quite a bit of fun. I hit 16, caved in and made a Magician (my favorite class), and started leveling when I heard the announcement that there would be a fresh server released.

I was extremely excited about the server at first, despite knowing that it will probably released quite some time for now, but now I find myself not wanting to level anything and to just wait for the recycle server.

I'm really in the mood to EQ, but when I can't even choose character names that I want (due to the eventual merge of recycle and blue), it just feels odd playing. Don't get me wrong, if I had started a long time ago I would definitely be pumped up for Velious. But with nothing invested here, the only thing I am excited for is the new server.

I think I watched the same feed as everyone else, I don't recall them every stating that there would be a new server from scratch. I missed something??
