Greens sounds so pleasant

My prediction is the pop will be low for a while, if not the whole time, because all the blue players are like "I already invested all this hard work" and like GeldorEQ says, "snare, root?" etc...

But then when the servers are merged, and all those idiots see everyone with guises and manastones, they are going to feel like such idiots for not going to green lolz

Really, starting your entire character over, years of playing with fully decked out Velious gear is worth a dark elf illusion? You can't even use manastones outside of classic zones, they are mostly worthless besides a few rare occasions a wizard or druid is doing something near their bind point or port in. I would assume in all of those situations it would be more efficient to accomplish those PvE goals by being an enchanter or shaman.

I'm sure 3 years from now when there is a merge and some dude is spamming a manastone in EC tunnel with nothing to do people are going to be kicking themselves.

Considering I doubt you've even played everquest in 4 years, id say yeah its totally worth it.

You can buy a manastone, but you cant buy DE illusion.

If 20 mana is the difference between an item costing 5k and 50k then I sure do think that DE illusion is priceless.

Guise, the novelty is cool on class/race combos that don't exist but only when its an exception. Like the rare DE monk on P99.

Manastone, the way campers are now I suspect a number of campers will have accounts full of them, which in turn will make it harder for players with less beard power to get one in the first place. If and when they come to blue they will sell for profits here which will drive the market down, as more accounts roll in to profit. Holgresh Beads camp, there will be line of people waiting in guk with so many angry nerds..

Harder for players with less beard power to get one than it is on blue. Or than it would be on a magical, fairy-tale green where only casual players exist (and only in moderate numbers, at that).

But really, maxing out the potential number of manastones on the server before they don't drop anymore is the best way to get them in the hands of casual players. Not a GOOD way. But the best way.
