Project 1999 Green Trailer

Launch week is upon us! I wanted to get our Official Green Trailer out for everyone to see. A special thanks to Kraddok for creating it and working with us!

If you haven't seen our official Green announcement post, filled with information about the server, make sure you read that here: Introducing Project 1999: Green (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=333743)

As we get closer to launch I wanted to give some more details that haven't been elaborated on yet.

List System - This list system is now up on Beta for testing. You can find details about how it works here: List System Details (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=337066).

Achievement System - We have mentioned that an achievement system will be in place for launch. The system will track the first player to accomplish a wide variety of things, such as the first of each race and class to hit major level milestones, the first person(s) to kill certain mobs, the first to complete certain quests, and so on. We're still putting this system together and populating it, I expect it to be on Beta in a couple of days.

Spawn Time Reductions - As has been discovered on Beta, there is currently a spawn time reduction affecting most low level mobs. We decided to put this in place after evaluating the options for alleviating the crowded newbie zones and getting people out into the world. We didn't want to put an XP Bonus in place. We feel that this is an adequate alternative. This system can be scaled and disabled as necessary when the population spreads out. It will be set to an 80% reduction at launch.

Additional Servers - As mentioned on our original announcement, we currently do not intend to open a second Green server simultaneously. However, if the population reaches a certain threshold, this may change. We will evaluate this throughout the Launch.

Server Merge - The staff has had considerable discussion internally regarding the merging of Green into Blue at the end of the timeline. We've heard your concerns. At this time, we haven't made a final decision, but we have also decided that we will leave the door open. A lot can change in 3 years, and we may chose to leave Green running independently as we open additional servers in the future.

Discord Community - As we get closer to Launch Day, I invite everyone to join us in the Discord server. This will be the best place to get official updates regarding the opening of the server on Launch Day! You can join here: Official Discord Server (https://discord.gg/p1999). If you happen to be a Nitro Subscriber, boost our server would ya, I want to put a cool banner on it :D.

See everyone on Friday!

Thanks for all your hard work Rogean and rest of dev team! Looking really forward to this!

[Deathrydar]

Thank you for the trailer and teh feelz

[Baler]

WOW! awesome! Thanks for the years of fun and years to come!

share the news of green launch!

[Thrombosis]

Loved that trailer! :D Thanks Kraddok.

[Sunderfury]

Have to admit, was expecting a little Kraddok verbal quip at the end of the movie. But was super professional and inspiring, got what I came for.

Hats off to the the development team for making the greatest MMO of all time once again playable by the masses (before it jumped the shark).

Also, going to tip my hat to the community as well. Lots of classic content was uncovered via crowd-sourcing open bug reports.

Keep up the good work everyone!

this might honestly be the better option. p99 needs a perpetual server to avoid gradually driving out less competitive players with each new cycle, but as much as I like Blue, that server doesn't have to be Blue. it would be very cool if Green 2 launched when Luclin would have launched in Green 1's timeline, and every Green after that was rolled into the original Green rather than Blue.

[Sinistria]

WOW, Great.
Got duck skin everywhere (OK. almost everywhere)
What an epical trailer. Great job, well done!

I realy need a week holiday. Damn, i must have it... going to start working on it...

Plan for this week:
start cleaning everything to shiny, doing laundry, go shopping, start cooking and freezing it.

So, if i get holiday, i can relax and sit back on week in the cellar with no sunlight needed :D

WHAT A TRAILER !

[Seungkyu]

Thanks for all your hard work Rogean and rest of dev team! Looking really forward to this!

Great work on the video, got chills!

[Robersonroger38]

This is awesome! Put a big smile on my face .
Can’t wait!!
The Real MMO of time!

[Insaiyan]

im pumped~

[Kruel]

im in!! did they give us an idea of what time Friday it will launch????!!

[Sheriff_Cockroach]

The hype hit me last night. Can't wait. Took off work. Gonna no life it harder than ever. First time playing EQ with legal weed. Its a performance enhancing drug IMO.

[deezy]

yay!

is legal weed better than illegal weed?

[Indecisive]

Couldn't stop smiling from the first second until the last. What an awesome trailer. Can't wait for Friday!

[magusfire24]

im in!! did they give us an idea of what time Friday it will launch????!!

All I know is it will be open by the time I get home. Which is around 7:30 pm. or not long after at least. :)

[zaneosak]

Very exciting. Looking forward to the mayhem and potential frustration of dying in North Karana to griffons and have to run to get my corpse in the pitch black of nighttime. Thanks for everything you guys have done to make this happen. I got burnt out of Blue pretty quickly, been waiting for this one for awhile.

[BlackBellamy]

I like the way the first 30 seconds of the video are a bunch of people haggling in the ec tunnel. Classic!

[Shrubwise]

Great trailer and all but that barbarian warrior side titty at the end really got me going.

[guyzmo52]

Wow thanks for all the great work done!

I just had a question about server merge.
I have read that we could use the same character name as on Blue but what will happen if Green and Blue merge in the future?
Does it mean that we will have to rename one of the two characters?

[Cyph]

Great work and great video!

[Gustoo]

Nice video.

Population will totally dictate what happens at end of green timeline. If both servers are sitting heavy at 600+ a merge wont be needed. If it is otherwise, a merge will for sure make sense.

Everyone excited for that launch.

[Jibartik]

Best.

Game.

Ever!

[Deathrydar]

[Akg49]

Oof, not merging Green into Blue is really killing my desire to play Green. If you end up with 3 PVE servers one will be a ghost town like Red.

Merging into Blue is the only way to keep these Green characters alive after Green 2.0 launches.

It's not for three years anyway....

[btravis1990]

People are telling me I have to have a different launch program to play green then what I currently have downloaded for blue. Is this correct? I thought this would simply just be a server select?

Any clarification from a CSR or above would be BEAUTIFUL, I took a week off to enjoy launch :)

Those are currently the beta files. I'm willing to bet Blue and Green will have the same set on launch, but Green will have the proper flags in place. Then again, maybe not!

[foxchris509]

Almost brought a tear to my eye, thank you for all your hard work on this project! Long live Everquest!

Don't worry Akg49.

They won't make another Red99 backwater no matter what and I am convinced that Rogean and team will even make efforts to reverse the backwater status of Red99 after Green launches and gets well underway.

Green is #1 now that blue is deep into the end of its era. The only reason they wouldn't merge in the end is if it would have a negative impact on green population.

[Llandris]

Great job on the promo vid, Kraddok!

And to think I was already hyped for Green, but after watching that trailer I have reached a new level of hyped. Man I which I had more time to play but it is also good to have my priorities set and even tho I will be sad to not be able to play a lot the 1st week , I will at least try and play as much as I can, I want to feel those feels again, can't wait.

As someone who's been around for those 10 years, I wanted to say thanks for all the effort along the way. Hard to believe 10 years ago I was googling for a more hardcore mmo than wow when project 1999 popped up. The next few weeks are spotty due to sleep deprivation but I remember being being sooo excited that I finally found something I would enjoy playing. Can't wait for the pvp server to launch next.

[Sahazar]

Glorious. Absolutely glorious. Been a blast testing Green beta - thank you all for this amazing nostalgia adventure!!

[Canelek]

Excellent work guys! And way to go Kraddock! That really captured the OG game trailer and brought it to date.

This is great. The ambiguity will leave the blue farmers off Green.

Awesome trailer and news :)

What a time to be alive.

[Muggens]

Many well wishes for the release! Can't wait to play on Green during this winter, good luck to all adventurers out there!

Great trailer btw Kraddok, splendid work as usual (Y)

[password]

Who would play this game for like 8 years, and then play the same game for another 8 years starting from scratch but the game this time has 7 fewer day zero bugs.

OH right, forgot the room I'm in. enjoy!

[honeybee12874]

Finally got a chance to watch the trailer. Awesome job! I love the way all of the clips were edited together. I think my favorite part is the person waving at the entrance to Thurgadin :)

I never really considered the fact that Velious came out just eight months after Kunark. That's weird to think about.

[Smedy]

If no red server consider your gfay lift privileges REVOKED. Ya'll been warned, tomorrow my shift starts.

^ i got drunk one night and followed a guy around for 25 minutes for not letting him up any elevators, got a 24 hour suspension. After that i moved on to sowing level 1s making the turn off the bridges, they dont expect the speed increase and over turn, falling to their death.

[magusfire24]

What is really fun is drinking in EQ getting really drunk then being sowed and trying to navigate kelethin moving left and right all over the place

[magusfire24]

and doesnt your text get messed up too when your character is drunk?

[Hetjan]

The server wants me to login but is playing hard to get.

[Vizax_Xaziv]

What level mobs does the decreased spawn timer effect? Are mobs in zones like CB Guktop Unrest Befallen etc all popping at 180% normal rates?

[Wickedbane]

seems to only be newbie zones. Dungeons seem to be on the actual timers.

[UMCorian]

This looks so fun. Can't wait to play!

[Amyas]

Any news on when we will know if the server will merg?

[Tecmos Deception]

Any news on when we will know if the server will merg?

Besides "at least 3.5 years from now"? Do you really need more detail than that for something happening that far in the future?
