137 Days Until Velious!

No, the knight damage table and 2H damage bonus improvement does NOT occur right away with Velious launch. In fact the change happens much later on, at roughly similar time (fall '01) as the Chardok revamp--meaning at nearly the end of Green's life cycle as a progression server. The class experience penalties are removed sooner, but still a couple months after Velious opens.

Other things to look forward to:

--Drama surrounding the Sleeper
--Questions of what to do with a lifetime-expired progression server
--Players who migrate to the next progression server lambasting those who stay with Green

Wow that kinda sucks. I guess it gives me lots more time to save up for a future twink troll sk I always wanted to make. There will be a new progression server? So P99 is going to make the same mistake sony and daybreak does by fracturing their playerbase 15+ different ways with endless new TLP’s? Maybe I’ll just switch to live TLP when the next p99 server comes out, since it’ll be basically the same thing at that point :/

I think something that is, especially lately, misunderstood about this server is that it is a Classic -> Velious museum.

I assume Nilbog and Rogean LOVE that people play here.

But I don't think they need a playerbase greater than even 1 raid force (< 50 people) to experience it to fulfill its purpose.

So catch me up to speed: the creators of these servers sat on one for like 9 years straight, before suddenly saying “you know what we need? A new progression server every 3 years until we have like 20 different mostly-dead TLP’s to manage”?

Good points.

I think end of timeline population numbers on green will tell the tale of the server's ultimate destiny, whether merged with blue or remaining separate. If history is a guide then it may be unlikely the population will be high enough at end of timeline to justify no merger from happening. In many ways I think Teal merging with Green was a trial run for when green will ultimately go into blue.

Who knows though. The devs have surprised us in the past with outcomes we didn't predict.

What are you looking forward to the most? Zones?, tradeskills?, mobs? Lets hear it.

So many drama posts lately - lets have some game posts.

hmmm maybe doing some outdoor kiting in Kunark since everyone will be in velious(52 druid).

Start of new classic EQ server.

I'm looking forward to green hitting its timeline goal and there being no further reason to consider delaying a new PVP server. It's going to take some major personal sacrifice to play red 2.0 the way I want to, but I will be able to dig deep and get some solid hours in if it finally comes to pass.

Anyone remember if tradeskills expansions are in with the initial Velious release or did it come a bit later?

[Bbbeee]

What would be awesome is if they launched Green 2.0 at the same time as Velious. Folks who want to dip out for a new beginning could do that - and the ones who want to power through the end of Green could do that. Might help spread the raid scene out a bit.

It was their intention to merge green characters to blue and restart green from scratch. Whether or not that comes to pass...merely speculation on our part.
