Pre-nerf fungi staff is kind of lame if you always have a pocket shaman / druid. I sold mine because I never used it, and it quit being fun once they nerfed your ability to cast it on group members. Being able to snare other monks on the pull team to be annoying was what I used it for 99% of the time after the initial novelty wore off. I think it only really makes sense for necro or ench, and with a VP staff and elder beads, it even loses some of its utility to a necro as well.

At the same time it might actually kill a couple of people IRL who have hoarded virtual currency for up to 7 years.

People get way too tripped up about legacy items. The appeal of a fresh server is more about the low-mid level heavy population and classic-only zones. It's a way different EQ experience.

I could care less about items. I just like the idea of the old school vanilla experience.

Almost 2 weeks ago this was addressed on the P99 subReddit.

Someone asked about a new blue and you can see Rogean's reply right below it.

Looks like there will be a new blue at some point, but it's still TBD.

Yea :< The fun of getting your first rusty weapon and getting someone to make it into a tarnished one!!!

Or the first fine-steel weapons on the server after a day or two appear!! And it isn't vendor trash...it is the best weapons in the game!!

Or the first magic weapons that begin to drop....suddenly those people are able to hurt ghouls in unrest!!

And actually doing class armor quests!! And weapon quests!! Or starting off as a crafter early and making banded armor for people!!!!!

Oh the first couple weeks / couple months of a fresh server are so fun :3 There is huge reason to spread out and hunt in other zones and actually try to get loot (not just exp as fast as you can).

My opinion on a new server and a server wipe.

You do a server wipe and I would say about 75% of the population wouldn't restart playing again.

You start a new server and it would just be a shopping store that opens early for the day after Thanksgiving sale. You would see about a 1,000 people running and hording manastones, 'guise masks and everything else that either gets nerfed or removed in later patches.

I also think majority of the people would be making characters that doesn't require a lot of gear or equipment such as Necros and Monks.

I think you are underestimating how many people are here to play classic EQ and the classic experience.....and not just be elite top tier raiders / min maxers.....

ah well i stumbled upon a thread from a year ago where people said the devs on a stream mentioned re99, a recycle server. Where they start a fresh blue vanilla server and progress it upto vellious and then merge it with the current blue server. thats cool to me.

another sorta sad thing i want but it wont happen.
I wanna play on red99 or a team server if p99 made one. I like pvp. I like red99 because you don't lose items on death, just money. It doesn't make the experience unbearable. I like that you can contest zones or mobs or raids with pvp. But the server has so few people on it. I wish more people would play. I also kinda would like a red server restart that was paired with many players actually starting on it and sticking with it because they share this pvp ideal of a server that I do. I wouldn't want a new server unless many people were behind it of course.
Boggles my mind so many people prefer blue over red. Or maybe what I'm unaware of is red was released after blue sometime? And people didn't wanna leave their friends, their items, their character behind and start anew.

But yea I'll look forward to a new blue server if it ever happens.
