Still No Word?

Was that agreement in perpetuity, forever? I doubt it - it more than likely had a time frame on it - and it could quite possibly be the case that the agreement is reaching the end of its terms.

I have a feeling that a new p99 server would not please the current Daybreak team - as they are struggling with TLPs. Fresh p99 server would rob Daybreak of potentially thousands of subscriptions, in their minds.

They hate it so much that they agreed to officially recognize another emulator.

Oh is Quarm rebooting?

Im talking about a fresh, legit server that would attract people wanting to roll on a fresh, legit server to give them the true feeling.

Doesn't sound like a reboot. There will be a server cap at 1200 players on at one time, and a queue like DBG does during a new server launch. And like DBG's TLP server launches, I wager the players are not going to log their characters out of the game due to the cap.

If Quarm was not ready for the Luclin expansion to open, it may be down for a while. Who really knows. You might check their Discord channel for updates.

No, Project Quarm was not shut down. It was allowed to continue operating, but with significant changes to its custom features and mechanics due to an agreement with Daybreak Games. Project Quarm will now focus on a more classic EverQuest experience, removing custom content and unique mechanics. The server is also undergoing a transition to the Luclin expansion and will have a player cap of 1200 players, with an offline bazaar trading feature.

Not really sure why you'd include the bottom, as that feature hallucinates everything it pops out. Anyone who actually plays that server could have answered these questions without speculating. So here goes-

PQ was turned off immediately voluntarily by the staff when the THJ lawsuit hit. Funny enough, THJ never stopped operating and is blatantly taking money from the community, and making the case against them worse and worse as time goes on. After about 3 weeks of being offline, Secrets announced that she had talked to DBG and been given permission to operate fully legally and without interruption if she rolled back the custom content and put a 1200 player cap on the server with a queue system.

Since Luclin wasn't supposed to launch until 9 months after Velious (which opened in April) they are disabling all raid mobs in Luclin, but opening the zones PURELY BECAUSE it will allow them to keep Beastlords in the game without violating the agreement, which released early.

PQ turns back on August 1st, with AA's enabled and Luclin zones open, but no raid mobs spawning. Players who had illegal race/class combos will be forced to select a new race.

It does not make sense the P99 team is patching old content to take certain NPCs out of the game until later dates when they would then spawn. Most of those NPCs will appear in the game in the summer of 1999. The Green server is obviously way past those dates.

So why waste time on the latest patch introduced last month?

p99-devs are playing on their own classic server without us

Classic is too different from most TLP rulesets.

They're releasing 1 TLP a year, no wonder it is losing steam though. How many times are you cool with starting over?

We dont need a new server, we just need to wipe this one and start over fresh. Green has gotten quite stale.

If "being stale" is the criteria to wipe servers then red/blue should go before green.

Or just fusion all 3 and start a new red/green if that's even possible/allowed.

It's not just possible/allowed: the entire P99 plan has always been to "fuse" blue and green together (and then use Green 1.0's server to host Green 2.0).

However, thankfully, no one has mentioned any plans to merge the dumpster fire known as Red [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
