P99 "Season" / New Server

[bled12345]

There is something magical about a group of damask and banded outfitted heroes wandering into upper guk or sol a while their warrior is brandishing polished steel short swords lol.


Or a group where the most valuable item is a fine steel.

Not a fungi equipped rogue tanking for the group with plane of fear drops while their level 60 druid friend hangs out to help the group out with buffs.

Seriously, start a new hero, go look sad and poor in EC and without even asking people will have you decked out in level 40 shit in a couple of hours. Mostly because the only thing they have left to do in EQ is help out noobs lol.

You sir understand the joy of Norrath with so much more purity than the pixel hoarding dragons who infest the server now.

I'd love a server that never hits planes/kunark.

There will be no new servers, no new P99 servers was the largest component of the Daybreak Games agreement with P99

No terms of the agreement have been posted, so this, just like all the other comments on this and like threads, is just speculation. The only term made public was that p99 had to delay the Velious expansion.

Just an FYI for anyone who isn't aware, the above statement is a trolling. Sirken recently (as of a week or two ago) mentioned that Green was still tentatively a thing. Though it wasn't as definitively stated as it had been in the past. At any rate, Green will not happen before the final Velious patch is implemented on blue.

I'd like a rule set where most dungeon loot is no drop and only store brought and trade skill related stuff is tradable.

Go out and earn your gear or settle for banded / leather and crafted jewellery.

Right, because real work is done at the slots, not in the field >.>

Objection: speculation. Answer the question, please.

A fun thing that could probably never happen (and wouldn't happen here for obv. reasons) would be a classic (or classic progression, /shrug) server where all loot was randomized Diabo-style.

It would be the only way to truly re-capture life circa 1999 where we were wandering around aimlessly, no idea where to go, what dropped what, etc. A sense of wonder and bewilderment. Randomizing the map/layouts of zones would be even better (and a billion times harder to construct, i realize), but nigh impossible.

Obviously everyone would still be highly skilled and would 'solve the puzzle' of the new server fairly quickly, but wow it would be a fun ride. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

LDoN kinda felt a little bit like a diablo/eq hybrid.
