I agree... I'm anxious to start on fresh server.

[ReoDobbs]

Next patch should be the Qeynos badge final step. Not sure if it includes anything else

EQ is all about open world competition drama and tears, the more the better.

if you dont like it there is still wow for you.

So I just got back into playing on P99 after a long hiatus. I never got the full story on this.

This just seems like a really strange bug to me, did they have a similar issue with blue or red at this point in the timeline?

I remember when Live servers had 2500+ on a busy night during classic/Kunark.

enlighten me on how that will happen with same character names and 8 character slots overflowing and im sure a bunch of other roadblocks?

Frodo becomes frodox when he gets copied over (if there's already a Frodo). He can petition a GM for a manual name change if he doesn't like it (or maybe the staff will give us a /rename command or something to save themselves from having to do it).

8 character slots overflowing

The client can have more than 8 characters, you'll just have to scroll. If you don't want to scroll, delete characters until you only have 8.

and im sure a bunch of other roadblocks?

No other roadblocks ... it's almost like the staff has been planning the entire thing since Green was first imagined ...

At points in 2018/early 2019 there were 2000 on the server at prime time and it was fine. Heck there were 2000 people on servers with just the classic old world back in the day when EQ launched.

1500-2000 people with Velious is totally fine. Server would be amazing if they merged

1000% anyone who thinks otherwise must not have ever played everquest.

The higher the population, the better. See red99 for example of low pop. Great for getting your raid items not great for being a game.

"Join date 2018" . This is what the server previously was before a "green" ever existed

There won't be that many playing on the merged server if they open a fresh server around the same time as planned. I'd argue blue population may drop after the merge and green 2.0 since there may be some people on blue itching to go play on a fresh server.

[Gustoo]

The merged servers will probably have approx the same population if there is a new time line progression server open at the same time.

Normal players don't know how many people are playing both green and blue at the same time, so you can't just add the numbers together.

Maybe 1000 pop right now, and then a lot of those people would jump over to play new timeline server when / if it opens up.

[TheConsortium]

Pure success here, smells real good on these forums.

When velious launched on blue we were seeing 2200 prime time. At 1700, the server will feel alive again.

The velious UI has a bug that doesn't save the last 4 hotkeys when you zone/log out on green server. You can place 7-0 and use all 10, but zoning/logging will clear them. One of the devs said it is "fixed pending patch". There has since been a patch, but it wasn't fixed. As far as I know, there hasn't been any update since.

upwards of 2800+ for first couple days. Which I found insane when New World (hssssss) launched with server player caps of 2K and lag still ruined the game. 22 years after everquest launched and can't handle as many players smh

Did Blue have the same problem? If not, what is different with Green that could cause this problem?

Clearly there is no regression testing with updates. Which is totally understandable. So yes, I still, and always will, push the meditate button when I open my spellbook.

[Fammaden]

Seems there was an update for the beginning of April, Aldarra's Bow of the Unseen no longer dropping from Peffin, replaced with Talisen. Was still dropping around end of March/first few days of April.

Wiki literally has a note that as of 3/12 it is no longer dropping. We haven't had an April update, yet

[Fammaden]

K I was told it dropped last week, shrug.

Blue was never limited to 6 hotkeys so it never encountered that specific issue. However, some other era reversions on Blue remained broken long after their respective timelines expired, like monk H2H skill or hybrid defense. Those types of era modifications seem to be a consistent source of trouble for P1999. Presumably it's a difficult item to get right.
