Official Green Server Thread - October 2019

[Evia]

With the official announcement of a new p99 experience coming October 2019 we should have a place to discuss it!

What will happen to blue/red?
What class/race will you play this time around?

Been awaiting this announcement for years and I cannot contain my excitement!

They didn't say "Green" though.

Yeah what if they are releasing Luclin!? EVEN BETTER!!!!

[Fammaden]

So the official expansion release timeline for vanilla up to Luclin launch is just under three years. (Launch 3/16/99, Kunark 4/24/00, Velious 12/5/00, Luclin 12/4/01.)

Why merge? After the full timeline just leave green running and launch a second green. There's a lot of concerns about selling green loot rights with blue currency, if we knew that green will not merge into blue this might be lessened since the future value of blue plat would be in question.

After the second three year cycle you can decide what to do (merge second green into first green and start green2 over?). If this means the people sitting on millions of plat on blue are increasingly marginalized and the place becomes a ghost town, so be it. If population is low on green and many people prefer to stay on blue, then maybe merging into blue makes more sense for starting green over and over.

Its hard to know what effect on populations this will have, so I'm not sure its imperative that there needs to be an ultimate plan for the fate of green toons immediately on launch. Some people would shriek about this uncertainty, but overall anyone inclined to play green will do it regardless of any plan for the green server once July of 2021 rolls around.

i'm confused about how this is supposed to work. why would anyone who has access to meaningful loot on green give a shit about stuff on blue? only the poop-sockiest of the tryhards are going to have any of the cool stuff on green, and those are the same people who already have everything on blue.

What is the best class for start on Green?
There wont be any gear to make twinks.
I like to group, but maybe starting as a tank would be too hard?

Tanks are always in demand. Bard or monk are probably the least hear dependent. All classes are viable though.

Mage or enchanter, lvl up than go back and do melee

Farm on Mage to fund iksar monk if you want to be lame. Enchanter if you want to hit 60 and farm before rerolling to monk.

There won't be any iksar initially on Green right?, it will start at classic, at least I hope it does.

I'm out of the loop. Where was that mentioned by a P99 dev/GM?

I've heard rumors of a "green" server, but thought it was all wishful thinking.
