Why are people excited for new server with a merge?

They already mentioned a big reason for the new server was to give new players a chance at a fresh start. This means attack of the clone wars won't be happening.

To the guy above saying Velious, they also said this is project 1999 and they will always be true to the progression time line, starting with classic and no expansions.

If their not cloning the server does that mean they're making it from scratch? Cmon dude I'm just talking about the PvE database... They can clone the server and make slight alterations such as hardcoded teams... A clone should only happen after resists are fixed though.

Really bad idea to rush this thing. i would rather wait 3 years for it then have it implemented the way R99 was.

We got a perfectly fine box to play on. We got a promise of a better future. The city state has not fallen yet. There's plans for Civil Works in place.

Lets do this right.

I get bored pretty quick on the current server and would enjoy a new teams server. The fact that it is inevitable that this server will merge takes some fun out for sure though. Its funny that the devs even threw out the possibility of merging this new server with blue... wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts.

I'm hoping this new dev they were talking about gets motivated and helps keep the new server separate. Maybe they can team up with platlord and help fund the additional server. The 3rd party cash shops on emulators is the new thing.

Step 2: Hardcode teams (2 hours of coding?)

You sound like a lot of managers I know! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was just talking about cloning characters. I wasn't describing the code/content. It will of course be a "clone" of the content with a couple code changes.

The point is by the time this server gains traction it is most likely being thrown back into the world of red99.

That still leaves the new server with 6 months of potential fun though, can't complain about that. 6 months is longer than the fun on red99 lasted.

its all just a smoke screen to cover up the delay for velious...

its retarded, we barely have enough pop for 1 pvp server, so lets make another one, one that makes it even easier to grief people on, yea that sounds good.

Teams it's like no other. FFA is for the birds
