The delta between P99 and live during that time frame is 1 thing. Different management. (of course it's more than that but I am pointing out the number one difference) The classic game play is there. Just help the economy out by having 2 environments (both duplicates of each other) and splitting up the players. If it's done right, both servers will be fairly equal in terms of player base. | |||

I apologize if this raises hairs but I want to give an example.
I played SoD for a period of time. The player base is....crap. Absolute crap and everyone boxes if not MULTI boxes. Having a VERY small player base forces people to be social so they can 'raid' or accomplish anything outside trolling around with your box. This economy is strong, player base is awesome. So....split it, and it might cause more collaboration on the upper end for raid mobs instead of brutally fighting for PP, in which helps with the small percent (people who have PP to spend) and hurts the majority (people who want to raid to get items). | ||

I think there may even start to be a drop off on p99 in anticipation of a new server. I just started playing again and have been leveling hard to get to at least 44 before velious hits but now I have little to no interest in playing p99, I'm just casual here so may not mean much but from a casual PoV whats the point in "wasting" time leveling a toon I will drop as soon as this new server pops regardless if its in 3,6 or 9 months time.
re99 has killed my joy on p99 | ||

I like this idea, it gives everyone something new to do when the content of the original server has run its course. Unlike Al Kabor which just allowed boxing (better computers, less people etc.) that simply boxed more after so many years I think this will allow newcomers to p99 the opportunity to experience the game the way it was as well as keep their chars.
If the server is going to be in close to* the same era forever anyway it makes great sense to me that when you want to make an alt you can have the choice to start them in a (potentially) earlier era than that of the original 99 server. This also would probably at least help spread the amount of twinks in a given lowbie area across two servers as well. Without a wipe or massively adding content, I think this is a practical way to keep old players coming back and new ones becoming interested.

didnt read the whole thread but alot of you seem to be missing some information
no new blue server will open until the old one is done, which means all content right up to luclin even if content was all currently ready on time (no way it will be) this would mean they would follow the classic timeline and things would not be finished being released until almost a year after velious long way to go still kids, dont get too worked up | ||

I have a twink ranger I was leveling...but...meh...all there is to do is grind exp to try and "catch up" to my guild and raid. That or hop onto my higher level and raid some stuff for pixels. Even when velious comes out, I guess I'll check it out...but not really much interest in just sitting around raiding. I like groups and chatting and meeting new people. On raids it is just following orders and going through the motions. | |||
