pleeease respond devs :D about server

[bled12345]

so I started playing on p99 about a year and a bit before kunark came out, had a blast, and I still follow the boards fairly religiously. I just burned out trying to hit 60 when kunark came out and deleted my toon / gave away all my stuff on bashndash.

Anyways, I know the topic has come up before, would just like to know what the thought is with eventually beginning another server? Is it on the table? I've just kind of been waiting patiently for a fresh start on p99 again since I feel it'd be no fun starting as a naked level 1 again after having a primo warrior haha.

Once velious is done, is the option of another blue p99 even on the table? I don't mind waiting, just would really like to know :D I rolled a warrior on r99, was super excited for a fresh server again haha but it ended up being nowhere near as population as b99 was...

Anyways hope this gets an answer, don't mean to come across as pushy or anything, would just love to come back and play at some point again :)

cheers!

deleting characters is always the wrong choice.

The server will stop at Velious, at which point many options will be considered, including possible custom content that will maintain the spirit of the game, and/or an additional new server starting over at Pre-Kunark.

but no, there is no definitive "for sure, this is what we are doing" position by the staff at this time.

moral of the story? don't delete your toons! lol

...or sell them! I regret every minute selling my SK, and really want to level one up again :(

[bled12345]

lol yeah, its just fun to start the grind. If its a year, 2 years whatever, I don't mind waiting, the first ride on p99 was fucking awesome. Glad to hear its being considered, and I hope you guys do a refresh one day!!!

I'll just wait patiently trolling the forums till then ;)

Honestly, my first character I deleted I regretted and tried to get him back with no luck. Then I deleted my next character at level 35. (and getting 35 is not easy by any means in my conditions). And I have no regrets at all. I'll start over as a necro and welcome the fresh start. I think it could become a regular thing. It's kind of hard to explain, but I guess you'd say it gives you new focus. I'd rather experience different classes than get geared up and reach end game content.

[Tecmos Deception]

OP.

You say that you want a new server, but then your reasoning for wanting a new server is that you don't want to start a character from scratch?

GTFO of here! Jesus H. Christ!!!

You know, there is a little-known feature in EverQuest that lets you have multiple characters at one time WITHOUT deleting your characters.

[Tasslehofp99]

LoL, I THINK you guys are all missing the point. He most likely deleted his character due to an inability to step away/stop playing EQ to take care of real life priorities, as is the case with 90% of EQ players.

Or you know you can just petition to get your character back...

keep back talkin Rogean and ill have him transfer you to red where you will be corpse camped 4 lyfe.

[bled12345]

but yeah this post wasn't about coming back to p99, most if not all of the people I used to know / game with are long gone lol... It was about finding out if there was ever going to be another fresh p99 server down the road, and I got my answer :D And when it does, watch out, bashndash is gonna be back and kicking some ass! lol

Don't see how I was back talking :-/ ? anyways... like I said, I asked a question, and I got a really promising answer that made me happy... soooooo thread /fin

[Deuces]

Just wouldnt see the point in a refresh server. It would just take population away from p99 and none of them would be fun tbh. Would just be alot more stress with no gain for the devs.

[bled12345]

I wasn't talking about popping a new server down tomorrow, was just asking if it was on the table 2-3 years from now when velious has been all but stomped away, and the answer was yes.

[Deuces]

No one ever said yes. Would be a consideration.

[bled12345]

thanks for clarifying that oh great one. No s***t, I asked if it was "on the table" and they said yes.

10 points goes to captain obvious at the redundancy institute of redundancy!!

Not to get your hopes up though... it's "on the table" in the same way that the 2-State Solution or faster-than-light travel is. Is it possible? Yes.

Is a restart likely down the road, 3+ years into Velious, after exhausting custom content and probably a minimal number of players still even interested in the emulator (and those heavily invested in their characters after years of play)? I wouldn't bet on it. That doesn't really sound very reasonable, does it?

[Kevynne]

Bash I miss you !!!!! Come to red99 we need the populationz. I'll level my dru/clr/shm with you!
