Kunark is a short hop to Velious

I wonder how many folks will swap to lizard? That's a long way to go in 7 months.

Yea I couldn't do that even if I wanted to. 1-50 isn't too terrible but that 51-60 push is some true grindage. Couldn't imagine doin the full 1-60 in a single xpack

No plans to. Don't like playing Shamans, already have a Necro on Blue and an Iksar Monk on Blue, and don't like Iksars for SK.

I wont swap to lizard but I'm sure ill make a lizard "alt" when kunark drops

After how long we waited for Velious on Blue it's going to be very jarring to have only 7 months of Kunark, and only 3 months with Epics before Velious rolls around. I suspect most players will keep most of their planar gear through Kunark and only end up replacing it in Velious. Kunark will be more about the 50-60 XP grind than gearing up appreciably. I'm curious how VP will be treated on Green though. I think most guilds will just skip it altogether, focus on leveling and keep their powder dry for Velious. Depending on how heavily contested Trak is there might not even be a single guild capable of fielding a successful VP raid before Velious drops. That would be a pretty amusing contrast with Blue's history.

unpopular opinion but i think we could do a year in kunark and it would work out better

Probably true. A four-year Green cycle sounds like a good amount of time, IMO.

Year 1 - Classic
Year 2 - Kunark
Year 3 - Velious
Year 4 - Final year
Year 4 ends - Reset/Rollover/New Green server starts

A solid year in classic and Kunark is enough time to fully appreciate the content in each before moving on. Then two years in Velious allows enough time to bring the server to full maturity and to just start feeling stale enough to get people excited for a fresh Green restart.

All that being said, I will not quibble with the staff's decision to approximate the classic timeline, especially on the first go-around with Green. I'm sure they might consider modest changes to the timeline for future Greens based on how the first one goes.

Im just so excited for a classic timeline. I want to see how far i can get.

I would literally attempt maybe 1 character for green to 60, something I haven't played to 60 before so when it does roll into blue I'm just giving myself more long term options there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The Iksar are going to have a gigantic advantage because they are going to get totally twinkled out and oog buffed and healed on the way up. They’ll join the 50+ grind very soon after.
