new server

[Goldknyght]

can we expect a new server anytime soon?

[maskedmelon]

Not soon :/

[aMindAmok]

The "classic" response would be, Soon™. At least try to be as classically ambiguous as Sony / Verant. Your ruining my immersion. Kappa

No, not soon. However, it has always been and still remains the Staff's plans to release a server that will have the appropriate time spent on each expansion as live experienced. It is coming, but I don't think it'll be out for at least 6 months to a year minimum. And that is just a guess based on my opinion.

Here's the proof:

I can't give you an ETA, but I can add some information.

Since Kunark development, we have used a rule-based system when developing content and code. What this means is the work needed to add/remove timeline features only has to be done once, and a rule applied for the era.

For example, when a server is released (original eq launch date: march 1999), rubicite and manastones should drop until ~October 1999. When a new server is launched, all that is necessary is to set the correct era rules. The era switches allow us to apply rules to spawns, loottables, items, spells, doors, tradeskills, etc so they may be enabled/disabled without even a patch.

It has been, and still is the plan to release a timeline correct server a certain amount of time after Velious is complete. Velious still lacks 2 zones; Stonebrunt and Chardok revamp. There are patches between and after those times which need to be developed.

once you realize that Velious release only took so long because of deep reluctance to deal with pita of a new expansion, not because of how hard the coding was, and even with a relatively settled high end known quantity, you have your answer as to when the p99 people want to release anything further, at all.

Incentive? None. Original thrill? Zero. Time till arrival? 2020. At best.

Isn't the next server going to be Discord anyway, A.K.A. more Red PVP crap.

if the next server isnt an accurate timeline server, it probably aint happening ever, and certainly not while we're still interested in it. Pantheon would be out by then, among other things like moving on with life.
