Revive Blue in 2 easy steps

[m00r5tuD]

1) Put the Sleeper back to sleep. It's been over 4 years and we have run through the entire classic timeline. It's been long enough. Put Kerafyrm back in his bubble and give a new generation a chance at some content they've probably never seen.

2) Un-root the ToV dragons. I don't blame the staff for trying this but dragon rooting hasn't been received well by the playerbase and has been sucking the life out of the raid scene for the last 6 months. 9 months ago the raid scene was thriving but now it is on life support. Why keep a major change to the server that is so widely disliked? It is both confusing and frustrating.

Theres over 450 people on blue right now and green isnt even a week old. Blue isnt dead, people are just playing the fresh severI predict peak blue pop will be back around 600+ by christmas.

Ride or die, baby. You know biglivgotchooboo.

And half these dudes got inward facing oui-oui français.

With all due respect, this is the worst idea I’ve heard in awhile

[drakkan]

Sounds like an idea.

I do dislike the rooted dragons. Fight and clear if you want the pixels.

Devs have done lots of disliked changes, yet players still play. So must be not that bad for everyone else.

[Wonkie]

1)delete red
2)delete green

Boom, donezo. Blue is the only place to play.

Really disappointed staff doesn't realize this.

[Solist]

Bring back sleeper warders sure.

But make them only drop the same shit golems drop, at the same overall rate golems drop them currently so most kills are a few plat, maybe a spell.

2)delete green

LOL, I was gonna say you can revive the blue server real easy. Unplug the green server and hide the power cord :D

i still play because i'm hopelessly addicted, not because i think rooted dragons are even remotely fun :p

[jacobi]

I agree with OP on rooted Dragons. That change will end up turning Blue into a one guild server (or one Alliance of guilds server). The raid scene was more diverse and interesting before the change.

Not so sure about the Sleeper. The people who first killed the Sleeper should retain that accolade with the unique loot they acquired. Maybe just have the Sleeper back, but he doesn't drop his original loots, maybe *shrug*.

[Izmael]

If more manastones are allowed to enter Blue, there's no reason why more SoD's etc shouldn't be.

Obviously reset ST and make him unwakable.

Rooted ToV is fine though. Clearing all the dragons in 3-4 hours by pulling them to the zone is wrong any way you look at it.

The novelty will wear down a bit. Blue population will bounce back up a good bit in the short run and hugely when more if the green pop approaches 50.

Remember there are VERY FEW zones to use at the high level. Zones will be packed and people will burn out.

Does anyone else remember having to sit around in lguk or solb for hours on a list just waiting to get into a group that only has 4-6 mobs to kill due to excessive competition?

I do. It wasn’t fun. Green will suffer slow attrition until kunark launches. It’ll then have a boom on kunark release then slowly suffer attrition until velious launches and then boom again. Then it’ll merge with current blue and you end up in the same spot.

Blue will stay alive and right now it’s frankly MORE fun because there are fewer 60s running around fighting over not enough raid content.

All of this is the blue community's fault

I hope you learned your lesson and enjoy your dead box

I'm playing on green almost exclusively right now, so I'm not someone who is biased and trying to get people back to Blue, but you're kind of crazy if you don't think there is going to be a large influx of population going back to Blue sometime in the next several months. People will get to max level on Green, have a low amount of content to actually do, and go play on Blue until Kunark (especially with the chance that Green merges into Blue, once you've done the fresh server experience to max on Green, I could see many people figuring they might as well level some of their alts on Blue since the servers may be merged eventually anyway). Especially once Velious drops, I could see the pop being split completely 50/50; people will work on getting BIS for their new Green chars, but also play on Blue quite frequently because they're essentially the same game at that point.

Afaik only one live server killed the sleeper and it didn't drop loots.

[Nirgon]

People auctioning stuff no one needs in EC cuz raids overfarmed is so cringe

Why you'd go back to it, I cannot imagine

If ur starting a new character, Green is way more fun

[Sunderfury]

If more manastones are allowed to enter Blue, there's no reason why more SoD's etc shouldn't be.

Uhh... when Green reaches Velious they can get SoDs. Doesn't mean you make Blue start dropping Green loots.

[Gustoo]

The live server that killed the sleeper was Rallos Zek and he has no loot.

The people that woke the sleeper on blue should have their accounts deleted for punching the rest of their toxic community in the groin to permanently reduce others ability to acquire pixels for no benefit of their own.

Scary levels of toxic competition for pixels in a SERVER that is perma rooted in VELIOUS, why would you hold back your blue bros.

All of the talk of people being afraid of more manastones coming to blue speaks to this point as well. Good lord they're worth like 3 weeks of game time worth of in game plat what do you think people are going to be vendoring them because another handful hit the street? Probably half of the manabones on blue are banned on RMT accounts and another half of the manastones coming from green will be too.

Better off with a job at the gap than trying to make a living with manastones you guys.

May bristlebane bless your souls.

hes talking about if the servers merge, because for some reason he thinks the deep rot blue economy needs to be protected.

Definitely enable a casino vendor on blue that takes plat and gives random rewards.

1 hotbar and not being able to see dot damage really steams my hams, but then again, I dont really give a fuck about this game so and play like 2-4 weeks a year so I dont care THAT much

[m00r5tuD]

just got ran over by 80+ riot while we were clearing to rooted koi. SO FUN

[Oldschoolplayer]

I havent really heard a good argument to not allow warders back on blue. It is a bummer a few folks woke it up solely to keep others without it.

If project 1999's mission is to provide a fun and classical experience for players, putting warders back doesn't seem too far off the rocker. I think if anything it would bring back some adventure, and probably open new content in other zones to other players and guilds

This. Green is great fun and all, but classic, for all its greatness, did suck in some ways. There are reasons why the game advanced in each progression that did NOT have to do with greed for Sony/Verant/Daybreak. Not many, but some.

I just dont know why its easier to root the dragon than to reclassify training it to zone under already existing zone disruption rules.

[Valion]

Wipe blue when merging Green and Teal into it. After all it's just a beta server now.

[feniin]

Sorry you didn't get warder loot

[Kubaton]

The vast majority of those on Green are those who play Blue. So, everyone is basically trying to do 1 thing.. get legacy items. That is all Green is about. Period the end.

Green is dead in the water the second legacy is removed.

[pogs4ever]

Rotation 2020

[PDX0621]

Luclin. Models.

Nah, most people want to play on a reasonably classic server. Blue is not that, because it had ten years to rot to the point that its like the EZ server with extra steps.

[Old_PVP]

Wipe Red while you're at it, it was a beta PVP server. Wipe and reset.

Right, just like original p99 was dead in the water... even though legacy items on live were long gone. Okay.

[Man0warr]

Didn't dragons get rooted on Live too by the end of Velious/start of Luclin? Sounds Classic.

They wouldn't have had to root them if people weren't degenerates and petition quest causing a lot of work for staff.

[MasterCS]

Right, just like original p99 was dead in the water... even though legacy items on live were long gone. Okay.

That was 20 years ago, when the game was still fairly new. He’s right. I would bet a lot of people are playing green for a chance at those legacy items. If not, why wouldn’t you just play on blue where you could get decent weaps and armor right from the get go, due tot he highly saturated economy, instead of running around in cloth at lvl 10?

So green will be dead in 2023 when Elder Holgresh Beads stop dropping, nice to know. We can officially start the 3-year timer for when Blue will return to dominance. LOL

Blue is dead baby, let it rot in peace
