I'm well aware, what is your point? That's not how the game ever plays these days. The info is all known now and people level faster and have better computers/internet. There isn't any challenge of needing to figure out zones/quests/mechanics, and there are far more high level alts to use.

There's no point in Green server being in Velious era for long, it's just Blue server at that point. Green server should be primarily about the pre-Velious era of the game. Anyone can play on Blue if they want late Velious era.

And to get actual Everquest, the game mechanics themselves need to be changed. Seeing as that's not possible for Green/Blue, since those servers are there to mirror the exact classic coding for museum purposes, it needs to be Red server that is used as the custom content server. That's where people would be able to play the game as it was intended to be played, and as it would have been developed had the designers continued to work on it, instead of just focusing on pushing out expansion content (or moving on to other games).

Why would halving the amount of mobs by merging them address this.

Only a moron would think anything would happen except a castle/fuse merger.

That’s the way the rules are currently. That’s the mechanics of the current meta. It’s no accident both servers ended up here.

This dude is so completely obsessed with raiding that he panics over the idea of two servers with a few hundred people each being combined in case it reduces his chances of pixels.

You need to take a break from P99 man.

TBH, raid mobs dropped more items during actual classic, and it was often only 1 guild per server (containing about 40-50 people) getting those items. So in that regard, 200 raiders being present on p99 actually equates to 1/8 as much chance of getting an item now (4x as many raiders, 1/2 as much loot) as compared to being in the top guild during the classic timeline.

Of course, Blue server has an infinite timeline to raid on. The classic drop rates should still be restored though.

A merge is drastically needed

there is only one thing that can save the server(s) from a slow death

The fact you have played Project 1999 gives DPG all they need to know.

Project 1999 collects an incredible amount of data on people who play this emulator and up till now, giving DPG that data has been enough compensation for DPG.

It's clear things are changing. And, Project 1999 scrapes a fuckton of data off your computer.

ive concluded the people working on p99 are Wizards and/or Aliens and whatever the dll is doing is probably, fine.

I don’t think it was intended for 12 people to run around with AoN logging out the second they see another player
