New server
 

Would we see same numbers as Uthgard if they released green server?
I have seen like 4.5k on at prime time, could server even cope with that?

Keep in mind, this is uthgards population after doing a complete server wipe and being offline for what? Two years? And people say people won't come back after a wipe.... It more than doubled uthgards population.... Wipe/reset/roll new server and make p99 fun again imo.

EDIT: Mixed up my emulated servers, thanks for the correction Danth.

Uthgard is a Dark Age of Camelot server, not World of Warcraft. As you probably know, Dark Age peaked at roughly half Everquest's peak user base.

I think everyone's gagging for something fresh/new at this point...I'm still playing though :p

I'm one of the tinfoil hat peeps that thinks there's an agreement with Daybreak that prevents new P1999 servers from opening. As long as Daybreak continues to run progression servers and schedules new server releases, I remain a skeptic that we'll see it happen.

If there was any sort of wipe on Blue99, I would not return to play the game, at all. On any server that was offered.

Easy to say that when you have an account full of gear and toons.

I think wiping blue might legit cause a RL fatality or two.

Already in the works? :D mid 2017

I'm just speculating....

They will follow the historical patching of live EQ from vanilla to now.
P99 has all the old code up and until Luclin and Daybreak has the files from Luclin onwards.

P99 staff hired in as staff / consultants for this new server
P99 server will be shut down.
