I'd say it's more like the Plane of Tranquility, just high level toons porting from one raid encounter to another. With very little else.

Only for people who choose to live inside that particular little bubble. I don't play that way, for one. I think of temple veeshan as a jail of sorts that people effectively lock themselves inside.

Excuse me that I didn't think it would be ridiculous to have multiple thoughts or plans at one time. Must have missed the other threads, thanks.

Great, so you're willing to pay out of pocket for a 24/7 support system, with both paid GMs and (since you can't pay them with free playtime) paid guides? Awesome! ;)

Ok, not trying to be an ass, but hopefully you got my point: for our 100% volunteer support team /list is by far the most classic option. If you don't believe me, go read how GMs actually handled camp disputes on live: http://wiki.project1999.com/Kunark_E...ice_Guidelines (hint, they basically did /list, but relied on paid humans to enforce it).

I think the boogeyman you're imagining is a whole lot worse than reality.

Blue already has a million high level characters. Blue already has mana orbs and guises and such. Neither of those two facts has stopped me from having a blast for the past five years, and nothing about Green will change either one.

If anything Green will actually help what you're worried about. It's not the number of characters that makes a server feel busy, it's the number of players, and most players who play on Green won't be playing on Blue at the same time (and if they do they'll likely be off alone in a corner soloing). Blue will feel far less crowded when Green comes out.

You just described Green (again, /list isn't "silly", it's classic).

#nochanges/#classic is Green, and the devs have been very clear about that for a very long time.

Blue has always been unclassic (or at least, imperfect classic), and it always will be. Once the devs have finished realizing their decade-long ambition to re-create real classic, I think it's selfish for anyone to say "you just spent a decade re-creating The Vision, and now have an almost perfect re-creation of it ... but you're not allowed to even try and expand a little on that 'Vision' you just spent a decade remaking ... on the old beta server, which has no reason to even exist now that the perfect Vision server is done".

Look, I have a toon on Basilisk just like I have a toon here (SWG was a great game ... although I haven't played him in forever). I wasn't even aware of any transfer policies one way or another there, and on both servers it literally does not matter to me if some players I will almost certainly never even interact with have some item I can't get that doesn't really matter (eg. a Guise).

It does suck to see someone with a BFG, elder beads, or mana orb, but you can still get all that if you really want. And again, Green will help with that: if you were bitter about your Blue character never getting a mana orb, Green increases their chances of acquiring one (not just five years from now, but even now the prices are likely lower as a result of Green's announcement). On the other hand, if it ruins your fun that some guy will be able to solo his cleric by mana orbing somewhere (in old world zones only) on Blue, in five years, because of Green ... why?

What I care about is having fun playing an old game (EQ or SWG). We're about to have two ways to do that here now: that's great for everyone, all around.

Anxiously awaiting news of a beta test.

You mean...blue?

I mean:

One of the devs said in Discord on Saturday that the parts came in for the beta server, Rogean just needs to set it it up.
