On Green you get your Guise for two to three years max. Less if you don't level up ASAP and get one right when the server starts. So all those poop sockers and and life-less losers will be putting in all that effort for an item that will last, at most, between one half to one third as long as Kunark lasted here on Blue.

This is assuming there isn't some kind of roll over to blue, right? That'd be ideal state for me. I would be pretty sad to get attached to a character for 2 1/2 years for him to just poof when the cycle restarts.

A rollover would be best for green. Perhaps make it when the sleeper is awoken...

Good point. We still don't if there will even be a roll-over, and if they do have one what the details will be. For instance, will they transfer guises? How willl they handle names that are duplicated on both servers? etc.

But if they do have a roll-over and they do transfer guises and mana orbs and such, I suppose that will only encourage the farmers.

I like the idea, but that wouldn't be classic, and would put the server at the mercy of some of the least empathic people on the server. As I understand it Green will run literally as long as the live servers did before Luclin came out (though of course everything Green-related is unknown and I could be wrong about that).

Name duplication will be handled as follows:

If your name already exists on blue when green recycle starts, you are automatically named as a random Pokemon. But not one of the cool ones. You get something like Trubbish: the trash bag Pokemon. Yes...that is a thing.

If you want a chance on farming those guises and manastones you'll want something that levels fast and can handle the camps.

Probably necro or enchanter.

Ending at luclin isn't classic either. So if going to have a roll over the idea is for players to progress a toon on a classic timeline and get items they can't get on blue along the way while enjoying the progression.

At the end of each cycle you could do it very simply and say "luclin released X days after classic so on this day server is reset and everyone gets 1 character roll over to blue

Or since Kerafrym is canon (look at EQ2 lore) for being the "apocalypse" you could have a conditional reset. Perhaps a few days after his release

I feel while "classic" the flat so many days period is kinda boring and unchanging and doesn't involve the players and cooperation at all.

Kerafrym release means it could go past the hard set X days time period if players cooperate. But once you get to a point of multiple keyed guilds and every one has the nuclear option or guilds get bored... You are on a server on the edge of apocalypse all the time... Makes it interesting

As for the question I would roll a ogre shaman and priotize getting a mask

Honestly in what scenario would it ever be ok to roll a server that will (probably) be highly focused on around farming rare items into a server that's 10 years old with a stable economy?
