Green sever

[DromalPhrenia]

In addition to the patches not yet released before Velious is "finished", I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off on the release of green because of a lack of staff.

Green is going to generate an unholy number of petitions and I cannot imagine the current staff could handle being inundated with that much drama. From the legitimate petitions to the nonsense "King Baby didn't get what King Baby wants!!" petitions, that'll be a round the clock job. Throw in the people trying to cash in early on selling accounts and items and hoo boy its gonna be a pain in the ass.

If you think Blue is bad wait until you see the level of psychosis that will rule every single cash camp on a Green server. Spoiler, you ain't getting any of the rare shit you are thinking you are.

Wasnt like that on any of the TLP servers, and they easily had more than 6k players. You are just stuck in the cesspool negativity mindset of blue.

Sadly Kill stealing was the name of the game back in the day .

Training and feigning to remove camps .

Tbh it was easier to buy the item with plat than to actually get the item via farming it.

Personally I would've made all the items in the game NO TRADE to stop the greedy farmers from ruining the game .

Even if you just took the 75% of blues pop that would likely move over for at least a few months, the server would way over populated for the classic content and a total a shit show. I kinda want it to happen just to see the outbursts from naive newbies when their hopes and dreams are utterly crushed by the no lifers.

Right now it's incredibly easy for a new player to break into P99. Gear is cheap, mobs are still loot pinatas, leveling is fast, and there are plenty of places to go and kill stuff. And people are still bitching about places being too crowded and gear being too expensive. Can you imagine how fun RnF will be when literally every decent camp in the game is perma locked down by the top nolifers and people log on for weeks at a time without being able to progress all while watching item prices skyrocket beyond anything they could hope to attain while being a functional human being? How many rusty weapons do you need to sell to save up 25k for an FBSS?

Makes me laugh when a newbie complains about how hard it is to get established on blue, when they are wielding a 1:2 weapon they bought in EC for a couple of stacks of bone chips [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]!

Can't wait for everyone to be running around with leather whips, mino axes and so on*.


*by so on I mean exclusively mage pets.

I've mused this idea too. I'd probably made tradeskill stuff (components and resulting combines) and mundane armour / weapons (like raw hide, bronze, rusty, fine steel) tradable.

Magic items should generally just be for those who earnt them. More a status symbol than anything.

What weapon is this? I need to twink alts.

[Jimjam]

Fist of zek, lost staff of the scorned, wu's quivering staff, silver swiftblade, sword of skyfire, green jade broadsword...

Lots of things people will sell for a couple dozen plat.

I think you're blowing it out of proportion, but yes this is exactly why I look forward to green server. I want something like a classic progression, and I would argue it is impossible on this server.

While leveling my first toon to 60, I had a couple k in gear dropped on me by strangers. It was very welcome but at the same time made the game easier. You might ask "why didn't you just refuse it?", but that would have been pointless. If I really want classic progression, I'd have to only group with people who don't engage in twinking. But with so much good gear cheaply available as Jimjam pointed out, there's no way to avoid grouping with people with "out-of-progression" gear, and thus no way to have a classic progression experience. The longer a server drags on in the limbo of velious endgame, the further from classic progression players can ever achieve. Really the only way to achieve a classic progression is to start everyone from 0. I honestly don't care if 100 people make a third of LGuk unplayable because they want manastones, guises and FBSSs, I'll just avoid them and enjoy the remaining 99% of the game.

problem has never been your items, the problem is the new player population is extremely scarce and a 100pp budget is not enough to solo on most classes.

to play this emulator these days you need a 3000p budget atleast so you can solo when no one plays their alts, sorry not everyone wants to be a solo class
