Real talk: Blue is a beta cess pool

[ya.dingus]

Just sounds like the same 5 blueberries butthurt over the fact their server wont be merged.

The jimmies in this thread being rustled are unparalleled. There was overwhelming support of preventing a merge back into blue which is why Rogean deviated from their initial position.

If there wasn't overwhelming opposition to it, he wouldn't have made the comment.

These same 5 people troll the forums looking to shout down any support of preventing green from remerging into blue. They are a cancer on the community and not reflective of the majority of players who play on green's position on the matter.

Their motives are selfish and they want legacy loot like fungi staffs, and prenerf circlets.

Don't be fooled, the only malignant posters in this thread are them.

Here's the wiki by the way, the very same they try to shout down as "oh it's no big deal, Rogean only said it because they were flooded in discord. The populace wants a merge, really!!"

It's all BS.

green is ladder

blue is non ladder

green will eventually restart, moving it's ladder characters to non ladder (Blue)

There will be a bit of a break, and then ladder will start again.

hope this helps.

Nothing is permanent and I'm going to stick to the last official statement which I don't have verbatim but it's said they're gonna keep both blue and green up for now play it by ear and see what the population looks like and they specifically said they were just as open to adding another server as they were to merging.

Unless 3 or 400 people quit playing green for now based on that statement in the absence of another one the server merger is at best on hold.

I find it amusing that some folks not necessarily you, don't seem to understand that they never thought they'd need teal in the 1st place. I think they vastly underestimated the number of people that weren't playing on blue but came in to play on green.

If you want my long term bet I would be willing to bet more that it won't happen than the servers will be merged in the next 3 years

Unfortunately the population we had when they made that statement didn’t stay consistent. We reverted back to the total pop we used to have on just one server. I would love if we had the pop for three pve servers but we don’t. Both servers have crappy pop at this point; I have alts on both stagnated in various level ranges because it’s so hit or miss to find groups below level 40 on both servers.

It sucks that we can’t get the amount of people we had at green launch to stick with the server for good, would be awesome to have like 1400 people on each server across three servers. But instead we have like 1400 or so people total. That’s unfortunately not a great number for the ideal EQ experience.

The positive is that at this point there’s no negative to a merge. Green and blue are both mudflated and top heavy

Please explain to me why you guys want the server so overpopulated that I would quit playing? It's already virtually impossible for me to find a camp worth camping that can keep me entertained. I constantly have people up my butt wanting me to share spawns or make a group. And I mean isolated spots that people don't really go to that much it still happens.

I don't get it I don't understand it. 1400 is way too much.

What are you camping that this is an issue? I camp pretty high value stuff a lot,and it's often just open.
You can usually just pop down and take fungi king camp on green. Crypt is often camped but it definitely isn't hard to get.

Are you new here? Blue had pops that high for literally like 10 years and it was never a major issue. Was there more competition for certain mobs/camps? Sure. But you also spent WAY less time LFG and walking around a half empty world. Dunno about you but it's worth the trade off to me. This is a MMORPG if I wanted to never experience competition and solo all the time I'd be playing a different game (or a custom solo server which do exist)

I'll translate it for ya since they wont be honest:

They want your pixels.

They want your population so there's no risk of blue becoming deprecated.

They've slipped in multiple threads, in multiple responses that this was their motive.

Look at their history, you can parse it easily with the filter word search.

They even slipped in this thread.

Everything they do, from character assassination, to dodging counter points, to dismissing counter points, is to achieve one of those two goals.

If it's just all about the pop: Purge then Merge.

Sorry blue is beta, it wasn't meant to last forever.

Thinking that Green Characters (the final project) should be subjected to the rules of the beta server (The beta bucks buggy server) is ass backwards.

Looking forward to seeing ya'll migrate to the new Green 2.0 server when you realize blue is stagnant forever!

This is false; the lead admins directly stated on multiple occasions that they would never do a character wipe. That's probably the driving force as to why Red in particular still exists. P99 (called "Blue" only more recently) was intended from the start to remain available more or less permanently, at least until P99 as a whole eventually shuts down. What was then called the recycle server, now called Green, was the one that was always described as following a temporary and finite timeline. They did wipe the original, actual P99 beta; I know because I was there.

Merge or not I don't much care, but I wouldn't tolerate a wipe. I'm not interested in progression servers. P99 as a whole seems to contain several different sub-communities who want different things. For some reason you appear to feel threatened by a potential merger....if they leave you remain separate, that's fine by me. I enjoyed P99 when it was new with ~100 players and I'd enjoy it today with that many. I enjoyed it when it had 2100+. Doesn't affect me overmuch either-or. However if you can only feel validated by the deletion of my near to 13 years of history, then I'd call that unreasonable.
