This kind of attitude is my concern here. You have a huge problem and don't fix it because....why? An old post 5 years ago said it wouldn't?

Especially a problem that seems to easy to solve.

I could understand if it was "hay, actually we don't have the old build for pre-kunark...it would be a huge undertaking to get this set up. So we are just going to focus on velious first and then start on figuring out the classic server".

But, it seems crazy they wouldn't have kept the old builds. If they are just sitting around somewhere, why not copy/paste them onto a new server?

Is there some reason that they would want as many people on the current blue server as possible when velious hits? Do they want a 1k+ people all taking the boat over the same day and swamping things because they have nothing better to do?

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

Same here ~_~ It kills me that we might have to wait half a year or more till we can actually make our characters to really sink into.

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. .

Wow, ok let me get this straight: you're complaining because your 100% free, nearly perfect clone of the original EverQuest game is (at some indefinite time in the future) opening up a second server. The existing, 100% free server isn't going anywhere, you're just getting a completely new option of an (also 100% free) server where everyone starts out on the same footing.

And this is "killing your joy on p99"?!?!?

Dear lord some people really will complain about anything.

The other guy understood me. Sorry you didn't bud. Will you let me try again?

ah, i see what you retards are arguing about

nilbog isnt releasing re99, or whatever you wanna call it, to try and help your self absorbed problems out

he wants to actually play and enjoy all the work and effort hes put into the project himself

to do that he wants to be done deving, which means all content is done from launch right up until luclin, and then the content releases can be done automatically

does this make more sense to you now?

Can I have your avatar names so I never socialize with you in game? That would be a tremendous help. Thanks.

Actually, more accurately my joy on p99 had been dying for a while. The extremely broken economy and the effects that has on the game makes it difficult to play (since grouping is harder to find, and the groups that exist are isolated to just one or two "hotspots"...which makes twinking more of a necessity because you will find yourself soloing a LOT).

And if you do twink, that means you don't need equipment anymore (which is half of the game)....leaving ONLY leveling. So the game becomes about grinding exp and lower end quests , tradeskills, and dungeons become obsolete.

Effectively, the thing "killing my joy" on p99 was the fact that much of the game is, in practice, missing.

BUT, there is still a longer term joy (kind of) of getting a character higher level and raiding and getting equipment and feeling that sense of achievement again (once higher level and raiding a bit).

So, the task of grinding a character up slowly is still something we would put up with (at least to some degree).

BUT, now that we know that by the time we have grinded through the generally unfun world of twink leveling and solo exping (or maybe some groups, in those 1 or 2 hotspots)....that the new server will come out soon after and we will be moving anyway? Suddenly even doing that grinding seems much less appealing (since it isn't really working towards anything).

A big part of games like this is that sense of achievement (especially seemingly meaningful achievement)....but that sense of achievement is largely lacking.

When there is a very old or broken economy, it is MUCH harder to feel a sense of achievement at getting your first magic weapon so you can finally attack a ghoul (by earning it or questing for it)...when there are limitless ones available for free (or purchasable for a couple PP in the commons).

There seemed to be more discussion revolving around a Discord or Team PvP server compared to the Recycle server during the discussion on Sirkens stream. I was under the impression they were going to work on those along with some custom content post Velious, before they decided to release RE99.

Dear lord some people really will complain about anything.

The staff obviously cares what the community thinks. What is the harm and making your feelings known? Everyone knows it is free. Community input is valuable.

and for the record my joy on p99 died a long time ago. With 2 manastones, 3 fungis, a manarobe, and a couple 60s I didn't have much else to do with all the guild bickering. I don't have the time to be hardcore and didn't feel like rejoining TMO.
