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.

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?

I don't know squat about THJ, but I have a level 54 Necro on Project Quarm. RIP.

I figured a Legal notice would eventually be handed down by DBG, but not this soon. I was wagering it would be given to the Quarm team on the first day Luclin opened.

P99 does not have a legal agreement to go past Velious. I figured Quarm had no agreement at all to even start a server.

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.]

The p99 devs have abandoned us. They only keep the lights on because donations keep rolling in.

People said the same thing about Velious (which took years) and Green 1.0 (which also took years). They probably said it about Kunark too, but that was before my time.

(Fun side note: you can still find old threads here where I argued with nearly everyone in the forum about Green ... because it took so long that the vast majority were convinced Green would never actually happen.)

Point being, the staff always takes a long time for their major projects ... and by "a long time", I mean a long time ... but eventually they do always complete them.

Sure it is. That is why you don't have a server to log into. Because it's back...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

it'd be cool if there was a comment every two years confirming that it's still possible/the intention
