Question about a "server timeline" concept mentioned in last nights stream

I'm a big proponent of this idea. Let the classic-vel timeline playout until the day that Luclin was released, then dump the whole server into original p99 and start over! P99 becomes the "Legacy" server in which new content can be tried, etc.

I think that Luclin release is a much too short timespan for a server reset. There's a lot to do in Velious, hell the Avatar of War wasn't even killed legitimately until right before the Luclin release. One of the issues that SoE had with Luclin is that no one wanted to leave Velious to experience the new expansion. That's part of the reason why they added that annoying ring event to Vulak.

I think a new server which closely follows the original timeline would be the best thing to happen to P99. All the bullshit alt armies and thousands of fungi tunics and overgeared toons and stupid amount of platz, all of which allow the RMT scene to thrive, are the main problems with the current servers.

They tried to solve these problems by forcing some loot rationing policy and adding an abundance of server repops, but it's still inherently flawed with a screwed up economy and way too many raid capable guilds.

Think about it, several guilds are going to be entering Velious WAY overgeared relative to what they should actually be, and many players have several very well geared level 60 toons to choose from. And lets not forget all the accounts that are sitting dormant until Velious actually does pop, all those players will be returning with their army of 60 toons. Is this really how people want to experience Velious?

So... you'd invest time for years - literally years - with the foreknowledge that it will all go away. Sounds familiar.

Again, if they made the original server the "Legacy" server that the reset server dumps into, it would make for an interesting dichotomy.

New Servers! Lets use a kicker starter to fund our new progression blue server! The RMT, the plat duping, and the years of farming have ruined this servers economy.

Why not have the best p99 experience possible? Why settle for 'ok'.

No, the world does not reset when you die. Everything you accumulate remains.

How much would they need to raise to setup a new blue server?

what remains is irrelevant to you. get past that surface-level thinking son

It couldn't be that much at this point. I bet we could raise it in 2 weeks.
