Time for a final new server soon! All zones, all patches on day 1

[Saboteur]

Are you ready for a reroll?

How about a server with all the patches, all the zones available on day 1.
Server with Classic + Paineel, Kunark and Velious, Warrens, Stonebrunt, etc all on day 1.
No class exp penalties
No pre-nerf items
Just an expansive server with no silly progression

What da ya think!

[Kyff]

Why????
I don't get it. We already have to servers with all patches and all zones available. If you want to play in such environment you may chose between blue and green.
What would be the benefit of another such server? Would any such benefit outweigh the downside of a further split in population?

I'm sorry but this is a dumber version of the request to merge green into blue and start a new green server.

[PatChapp]

That's not a request,that was the original plan.

[starkind]

Deploy red 2.0

Merge blue n green to red 1.0

[Kakur]

Why push the two "healthy" servers onto the dead one with PVP, forced PVP sucks as shown by the numbers? Just let it go... it's dead and all but gone.

This was/is the plan stated by staff. As a previous poster said it's not a request. The only contradiction to this from staff is Rogean basically saying "idk we haven't 100% decided" at some point. It's safe to assume a very high possibility of the merge happening though. It was the original plan/statement and has been repeated for a long time. Before green launched it was literally referred to as the "Recycle" server. It was meant to be a recycle/season type server from it's inception.

[Ripp]

Yes. With QoL features.

You're deliousional if u don't think UN and DKP and bag limits and /random quest and petition quest aren't forms of pvp

they are just extremely --- uhmmm --- weak sad forms of baby rattle pvp where kids cry the loudest get mommas milk

get gud

[Zoolander]

eq = replayability

merge green to blue, start new every 3 years. keep merging into blue.

[cd288]

The progression is fun though. I love seeing the old world zones packed until Kunark comes out. It's cool.

Can't wait for the merge of blue and green and the fresh Green 2.0! Going to roll a Shaman this time

[Jibartik]

Die in the game die IRL!

[Gustoo]

Blue is the non progression server you want. Who cares if there are already level 60s on it.

Green and blue to merge as planned
Red 2 to launch as planned.

Green 2 around 2026

[loramin]

Why????

This. It's like you want to create a whole second Blue server for no reason whatsoever (except maybe the fact that there's people with stuff you don't have on the existing one?)

P.S. Also you failed at making a poll here by not including an option that references 9/11 :p

[Araxen]

I'd like to see a new server with balance changes to underused zones. Fixing the crap that makes them not worth playing in. Something the original EQ devs should have done.

It'd be a Classic but not Classic server.

[Jibartik]

Imagine a cult where if you die in the game you have to die IRL come on guys.

[starkind]

the chip would do it free to play but u have to take the chip

ROFL of course there is competition for mobs and items... this is EQ after all. I just don't have to deal with a-holes trying to kill me on top of everything else. I'm a casual player by choice, my few hours to play i enjoy the way i want to and you enjoy it your way... just don't try and force me to play your way. But hey read into it how ever you want to and troll on.

You are correct. We are all weak and sad compared to you! *bow* your "get gud" says it all... LoL...

Ooh I like this along with the more equal dungeon and outdoor ZEM idea.

There isn't a need for progression each time though it was nice for nostalgia, but then we had all the old world newbie zones with people camping each ground spawn point for the first few days. Folks can't spread out quick enough on progression.

[Malikail]

Have to admit I think it's hilarious that a hard no is is crushing all other options. But it's a sentiment I completely agree with

[Voronost]

What I'd like to see is some new zones. Ever look at the EQ map, where is the frigid plain the hatchery etc. Its fine to start as a timeline progression (except for class penalties... was always pointless) but original EQ had horrid overcrowding. Make some space, some new quests, new gear. Give us something new and exciting to do. Probably be to much work but w/e.

[Jimjam]

So that is what happened to No Time To Rez?!

[Vormotus]

This is a wish list for me now:

I vote a server with Luclin and Beastlords, only class I REALLY REALLY miss from Live , only class I ever managed to epic 1.0 and 2.0 ... Man I loved beastlords so much ...

[Ooloo]

The original plan of just making consecutive new green servers is still the best idea. Roll green into blue, but on the next green server *don't* split it off into teal just because there's a lot of low level congestion early on. Just let the mad experiment run, everyone will stratify and sort themselves out. Imagine if kingdom and seal team had been jockeying for position the whole time?

[Jibartik]

I will never, ever understand the desire to not let go of your pixels, on green especially.

Like the idea that you want a second blue makes literally zero sense to me.

Nor does not giving a shit about deleting all the pixels you worked for and doing it again, in a community such as this.

I dont get it, full stop.

This will hopefully be better next time around, since the first time there was xp issues for places like Oasis and Highpass where they were giving out dogshit xp despite being some of the most popular high teens/20s zones in the day. So instead EVERYONE was crammed into Befallen, GukTop, BB and CB.

[Jimjam]

I literally gave up on green/teal cos there weren't groups in high keep during my timezone, which was very non classic and saddened me too much to go on.

[Daffan]

Yes. With QoL features.

Step 1 of unleashing EQ's full power

Yeah like, wtf are we even doing here.
