All this would accomplish is flood the original server with prenerf items, manastones, guises and the like with each merge.

And?

Here's my take: Treat the current P99 Blue as an extended and extremely thorough beta test. The mission of that beta test is recreating Everquest exactly as it was in 1999.

Continue the current Blue server for however long necessary until the client and content is a 100% replica of Everquest as it was in 1999, warts and all. We should have a clear record of what patches happen when on the timeline and how the client got changed through Kunark and Velious. Once we have the ability and the plan, nuke the current server from orbit and start all over on a classic timeline.

Totally worth it just to see your head explode.

How many times can I regurgitate the same answer?

Any new server would shut down the old server by proxy. It'll take months, but it will shut down the old server. I don't have the time to level another cleric (or any character actually) into the high 50s, and I'm certainly not camping Ragefire again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nothing wrong with having ideas, but like most of them... it has its flaws [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's debatable.

A new blue server would be awesome and yield more players then any pvp server will.

Id love an auto unlocked progression server every 6 months, with real fironia vie or permadeath rules. And as for fironia vie id like every rule from that server brought here. No common tongue, no No-drop items, 1 character allowed to me made per IP(because you could only have one character on FV back in the day)

The pvp players have done nothing but act like ungrateful bitches and ruined the pvp server with all sorts of cheating and griefing new players. So we are giving them a new one? 90% of the P99 players dont want to play on the pvp server simply because its a pvp server.
