Green 2.0 advice

[Tunabros]

It's too hard to get back into EQ once you've taken a break

also elden ring just dropped

fuck everquest

[Convict]

take 2 months off work (or quit job) if you have one
roll necro
get to lvl 40 before most of the server
camp manastone as much as you can before groups catch up
??
profit
roll the class you actually wanna play with potentially millions of plat worth of manastones to supply you for gearing up your real char for the rest of the timeline

Green 2 isn't going to come for years, regardless of whether or not staff makes the right decision and makes red 2.0

This project seems to like to allow people to flourish at the top of the heap and enjoy their ill or hard gotten gains or whatever.

To roll out a new PVE server right away would be to pull the carpet out from those dudes.

Red server has a chance of coming relatively soon.

Green server? 2 years or more is my guess.

There is no way staff is dumb enough to repeat green 1.0 legacy item implementation. It's going to be substantially different. Green 1.0 was the worst EQ experience you could have if you wanted to be like a top player, or even an average guy enjoying questing because of the log jams at all decent value item locations.

So ya don't worry this guide will be obsolete because staff doesn't hate the players enough to do green 1.0 a second time.

Nice theory, but as we saw with Green 1.0 even if you're level 40 before most of the server there will still be like 20 other people right there with you camping the manastone

I think it will be several months to a year between Green 1.0 and 2.0. I think there are various classic changes that will be implemented this time around and will likely need some time to get in place.

Let's just hope Green 2.0 comes with /list 2.0 (ie. random lists instead of "staying awake or trading accounts for days" lists).

The goal of this place (and Green in particular) is to be classic right? There's nothing classic about the above, but it's completely classic to have a random chance at a popular item.

TLDR: Random named or mobs drop legacy items in said zone. Making /list pointless as it is in its current state unless ur a no lifer.

Problem also with classic items is during the timeline people didnt know manastone etc. were gonna get nerfed and or removed all together. so people didnt need a /list to begin with.
So, my 2cents is. WE AINT GETTING CLASSIC BACK. PERIOD (WHY TRY). so with that said. jus have legacy items drop off random named mobs in those same zones. That way no one guild could take over, outside of taking over the ENTIRE zone. which is possible but least its more classic than a /list that u need 20people to help u camp said camp. like seriously, /list was a good idea, but in practice is only helped the no lifers.

id rather have this than making another server for a red progression only to split the community on p99 even more. remember when blue had over 1k regularly and now with 3 servers it barely happens now. could you imagine splitting p99 into 4 servers. id rather have populated serve,r even if it means fighting over cracked staffs in a legendary battle in gfay.

plus splitting staff among another server? no, once green pve is over pvp should have its time to shine like pve did. might even see higher population numbers than red ever did.

The battles for blackburrow will be legendary. Hope I don't miss red 2.0 launch

Great write up. Look forward to your Kunark thoughts.

I would honestly love to see a more "user friendly" experience with the next Green.

-Handle the legacy /list items in a better way that doesn't involve having to run accounts in shifts, or having to be so alert and awake at hours that would be genuinely health damaging.
-Open up the raids to everyone in some fashion, let the big places of lore and the epic figures be something everyone can experience. The big cutthroat guilds of P99 have had enough time in the spotlight, can't we say enough is enough already?

While I would love to see something like this, I know it likely won't happen.

Real reason to roll necro is so that you can be FD the entire camp and just click a box whilst other kill the PHs for you.
