I was just curious if the Dev's had ever considering doing this? I know I have about 20 friends that have often discussed we love this server but it has sat stale for so long that is un appealing.
I feel like this tends to happen to most Emu projects because recreating the code always takes longer than intended so expansions are delayed years instead of months.
We have discussed how we would love it if you guys released a fresh clone of Blue and just let everyone who didn't find out about P99 until it was already well into Kunark experience it.
After seeing what has happened with Ragefire it has sparked my curiosity even more because I think majority of the people playing there expected a p99 experience and not what we ended up getting.
I wondered if you had ever considered releasing a clone of blue that was classic only for a period of time, then kunark, then velious.
I know myself and MANY of the people I play with would absolutely love the opportunity to play on a server such as this.
The second part of my post is if you have never considered it what would it take for you to consider it?
I assume first you would have to clear it with DBG and probably delay it until sometime around august if not later...
After that I assume you would need the donations to support another server being operated...
Even if those two were to pass does your version of the code have the ability to release specific expansions or is it a "all or nothing" style of code?
Even if a progression version of the server is out of the question, I know myself and many others would still be interested in playing on a server that doesn't have 2200 cloak of flames and 9000 fungi tunics floating around... Just a clean start where things actually had value again would be cool.
If it is something you guys just simply aren't interested in I can understand that. I assume fear of splitting the population is one thing but at the same time I don't think many of the blue veterans would move to a new server but I do feel that A LOT of the people who don't currently play P99 would for a fresh start. I've wanted to ask this question for well over a year now (As I never actually got to play p99 classic) and thought maybe it was finally time to take my chance.
