Question about a "server timeline" concept mentioned in last nights stream

[iruinedyourday]

In last nights stream Sirk said that maybe (this is all just guessing im sure) after vellious is complete that they will open a proper timeline server or something, who knows!

My question about a proper timeline server (and this could be as simple as answering, "yes") would be , does that mean that the server would (per Luclins release in the timeline) reset?

I mean the way I see it right now, wouldn't it make no sense to release classic/kunark/velious and all the patches along the proper time line, and then just idle at completion for eternity? Wouldn't that be the same as the current server in the end?

So maybe the answer to that question is, yes its a rotating server concept that resets.

I am just asking since it is often mentioned or talked about or requested. So I guess this question is for the people wanting of such a server.

Thank you!

Pretty sure he meant they would open a new server that would follow classic timeline exactly and they would let p99 be what it is.

yea that's where my question begins... does this hypothetical server reset at the event of luclins release on the timeline?

If not, wouldn't after 4 years that server be the same as this server?

Increasing the number of servers by 50% would just increase the amount of bugs/tickets right? Would they be planning on recruiting more guides in response to a new server opening?

It would be interesting to see what would happen to the B99 server population if a new server opened up...

Yea I am not advocating a new server, or even feel like one is necessary. I am just asking about this particular server concept, seems flawed without resets to me. So I'd like to hear from the people that are looking for "a proper timeline server"

I think most GMs would either go insane or quit dealing with the return of so many tryhard raiders that would eat up a server like that.

It would be like maggots to a dead cat. Unless they just let a true prog server go full-on failed state / Somali warlord level haxxors (like SOE did with the Fippy Darkpaw server) the amount of *fast* policing required would make a relatively stable and weary server like p99 look like Mayberry RFD.

New server, make it Teams99. Correct progression timeline. Server stays at Velious indefinitely - until The Sleeper is awakened, destroys the world and the server wipes and reboots.

Would play.

oh please god yes. and for those peeps that would say there's not enough population for such an undertaking, the nearly 1200 peeps on Blue on top of the new people that would funnel in upon hearing about it would answer that concern.
