Patch Notes: Sunday, January 19th, 2020

[Wrekt]

I'm guessing they couldn't find a way to IP block cross-servers - like not being able to play on both at once. That must be the cause of this fuckery.

Thanks for the hard work you guys do! I’ve been having a blast playing again and am excited about the merge.

How could this happen? I was having so much fun on teal. Reeeeeeeeee!

[Asteria]

Green/Teal legal Boxing bites the dust!!

Ex-Boxers are TRIGGERED!!

It was always known this would happen eventually, and high drama will ensue over the PIXELS (URGHHHHH!!!)

Nobody has answered this question.. Do people really think 1 server can handle 1.5k people on classic (no planes even yet) without serious congestion (thus fighting over spawns/camps)? The 2 servers at 600+ had issues with overcrowding at times, workable but still crowded. There is just no way 1 server can handle this many people IMHO especially late levels. There is just not room to spread out. This makes no sense logistically that I can see. I'd be curious for Rogean to at least explain the thinking, we might not agree, but at least might have better understanding.

It's either this or cut all drop rates and coin loot in half, what is so hard to understand?

Depends on the mindset of the playerbase.
1500 poopsocking min-maxers would have a hard time.
1500 who wants to experience everything EQ has to offer would not.

Blue use to thrive in its prime with a high pop. I think it will be a bit congested yes but I also think there is a reason they've decided to take this action. people actually think its malicious which is hilarious, but in all honesty there was only a second server created because of how congested lvl 1-20 was on opening day of Green. they also said there would be a merge eventually, I was thinking Kunark would when the merge happens but like I said I think they did this for a reason, they've been running these servers for over 10 years as you can see my account dates to 2010. they know what they are doing, but who knows things could change at any time, they could decide tomorrow it was a bad idea to merge, guess we will find out. either way Im still going to play and support and spread the word of p99 XD cheers!

At what stage in the game, though? There just isn't enough content yet to support the numbers we're now facing.
