i dunno, the beta pop is kinda pathetic

[Baler]

I probably wont play the beta simply because it's going to be wiped before green launch.

[Indecisive]

I logged in mostly to test how I want things at launch. Where I want my windows, which chat bars I want to keep clear or make solid, and how to set up my key-binds. Was able to keep almost everything functionally the same as when I had two hotbars, with just a few minor changes.

Pretty stoked for the 25th, but don't have any desire to actually participate in the beta with launch so close.

This.
+ i want to check out some classes wich is easier with the 10% exp boost.

When Server goes live... i see them already in my mind swarming out of city gates:

Theres only so much Nek forest anyone can take (knowing they will be doing it all over again so soon)

Beta good opportunity to familiarize self with how hard P99 has gotten in last 10 years. Answered my UI questions. Opportunity to do a dry run of some early things I intend to do on Green. Chance to poke around for bugs. A+ way to spend a little time, but would be very irritating to hit it HARD and then have to do it all over again.

Honestly, the Live Test server never had a huge population either, even though they did get to keep their stuff.

I hope people are just holding off, but those 2k numbers people were talking about doesnt really seem likely if only around 200 are actually hyped enough to play on beta, sry to play devils advocate but green might be more close knit than we think

turns out 1.8k of those 2k are really just hype for manastones, guises and other legacy items they plan to use on Blue and have zero interest in simply experiencing a ~True Classic Server~ that will be wiped

/This, plus it's fun to lol at all the unclassic features that will is added to the green because they don't know where alot of classic information is stored still.
Green is nothing other than a way to get removed items.
Once they are removed the accounts that looted all items will go inactive waiting for the merge.
Kinda funny that the staff would open up such a large market for RMT with the merge.

Were you around for velious beta? We had to shut down blue so players would beta test it.

I logged on for a few hours last night just to see what I was getting into.

Played a few classes to test out the UI, newb zones, etc.

As others have mentioned, we all know what we're getting in to. We just wanted to see how things were going to play with Classic ruleset so we can better plan our characters.

I did similar, looked at the impact of starting stats at low level* and checked out for a few quests to ensure classic.

*warrior: min stamina (75) and max (150) is the difference between 32 and 38 hp. Min str (75 again iirc) and max str (150) was 22 to 90 attack. Min (75) vs max agi (100?) was 10 vs 13 ac.

Strength a clear winner at early levels. As expansions roll put the differences between starting stats narrow further so no need to worry about high level consequences.
