Think there will ever be a reroll of blue?
 

I'm not trolling, and I think a second blue server would be detrimental right now. But! as a player who quit a year ago, I would totaaalllllly come back for a fresh start on another p99 blue server.

I started up on red for just that reason, but quit after getting to level 15 as a warrior, and realizing I was likely going to have to solo to 50 as a melee lol.

Anyways, what do you guys think? After velious has been exhausted? Will they just continue on? Or do a server wipe / new server? Just curious, like I said not trolling, and I know its been asked before but its usually asked in a trolling manner haha.

Personally I don't think there should ever be a reroll. I would rather it not go past Velious too, maybe as far as PoP but any further and I would just quit like I did with EQ.

no i imagine we will see velious out in the next 6 month - year then influx of returning players, 6 month peak, decline, death of server. I mean really it can't go on forever nothing does realistically it is a great idea well executed wish I had heard of it in 2010 instead of the end of 2011 but still got some good time left I imagine =)

I think they should open red up to boxing and see how popular it gets when people can actually play a melee char.

I thought this too. I definitely would make a healer and melee combo. The only problem is that I think it will kill the population of the current blue server. It's already down to about 300 people or something, so you'll likely end up with about 150 on each server. :(

Delete all Red files and start SoV beta!!!

It really depends on the desire of the devs once we reach the end of this server's timeline, but we'll probably see either a reroll or they will shut it down all together (be it pulling the plug or letting it bleed to death). They've declared they won't go past Velious, and with all the work it takes to get these expansions out I can't imagine they'll have the drive to want to do it again with Luclin or PoP.

A reroll wouldn't be a bad thing in the future. I was here very early and this server had to baby step it's way into the achievement we see today. In the beginning there was rampant duping and cheating, bugs and exploits, abuses of power, you name it. Now it's all pretty cleaned up and locked down solid, and once they've gotten their coding done for Velious the next time around would be a very smooth launch since they will have all of their code archived and ready to roll. Kunark was delayed per the original timeline, and Velious is too, but with another go at this project in a few years we would finally see a near flawless re-creation of the entire Classic - Velious timeline. I'm exited for it.

I'm just as exited as you. I would imagine that the server would keep on having 200-300 people online on average, and perhaps that would decline to 100 - 150 in a couple of years. But who knows, perhaps this server turns into a cult thing, and new players start flocking to the server. Right now im just glad that i can have some hunting grounds to myself.. because i know it wont last, because of the Veliouse expansion.

I am happy that the devs don't go beyond Velious. When SOL came out, the game had moved in a direction i couldent follow.

There will always be niche gamers.
